i saw the project m thumbnail in the news section and my first thought was "is project m coming back?" even though THAT LITERALLY ALREADY HAPPENED.

The idea of a 5th dimensional "this was a prequel all along" twist in a Donkey Kong game is really funny to me. I guess it's not that far off from Mr. Pipe in Yoshi's New Island, but still.
On my Ring Racers mods, I got one that is a photorealistic Tesla, and it's essentially become my heel whenever it shows up in CPU rotation - getting 1st place takes second priority to beating Elon. Somehow it's actually a really good motivator lamo.
I'm seeing people say "oh no, the Mario Kart World direct only sucked because of leaks"
There were literally no leaks.... everything was shown by Nintendo.
Sorry for not shutting up about this, but everyone who defends modern game prices needs to take a long, close look at 4K UHD Blu-Ray prices.
look, i don't believe in poetic justic or karma or whatever prettied-up bs word for revenge you want to use, but i must succumb to my vices:
mario kart fans finally finding out what "but doesn't that game have mtx though" feels like
playtester challenge run "can you beat super mario bros without touching lava or bottomless pits?"
I was deeply worried that we weren't gonna keep up the drop the price spam in the new direct.
Thankfully, the people delivered.

Having their fight or flight activated by Pomp & Circumstance
Watching the Karl Jobst court case and I really enjoy how the judge emphasises the "KEY" in "Donkey Kong". We should start saying it like that.
I think the changes in the Noise update from the Peppino campaign are more significiant than you would expect from a "play as a different character" mode but also way less significant than they've been hyped up to be.
Also Pogo Noise is the better moveset (even if it should have a game of its own and not be attached to Peppino's levels)
my biggest takeaway from the minecraft movie is that the guy who made the oogieloves was an actual ahead of his time visionary.
pokemon is a quirky earthbound-inspired rpg
this is not up for debate.
Something funny about the Duck Hunt dog is that I think every time someone tries to draw or interpret the character, they get fixated on one specific sprite out of 3
![]()
The Vs. Duck Hunt flyer (perhaps by proxy of the Vs. Duck Hunt bonus sprites doing so as well), is clearly based on the "hold a duck" sprite - very silly character. In the case of Vs. Duck Hunt, the dog is portrayed as bipedal too since it stands on its hind legs in the grass.

Most fan renditions of the character, at least until Smash 3DS came out, were based on the laughing sprite alone, a canine trollface. Also typically bipedal

and then finally the Smash design fixates on the otherwise least drawn-from animation - the walking into bushes animation, depicting them with dopey eyes and near-constant quadrupedalism. He's a bit more Disney-like compared to his origins as a seemingly Hanna-Barbera inspired character
![]()
Ironically, of all the DH designs - official or otherwise - the one that feels the most balanced between the original sprites is actually You Cannot Beat Us - it's obviously an unfaithful adaptation of the character (which I would argue to be true of the Smash version as well), but it's the only one I think encapsulates all 3 sprites at the same time. His pupils are a little low and squash, kinda evoking the walking sprite; the scary attitude and chainsmoker voice is at least adjacent to the laugh (and that sprite is obviously the reason for this portrayal); and his mouth is shown open but not with a outstretched tongue or teeth; as well as having open eyelids; like the holding sprite.
smash should add ko sfx customisation for the sole purpose of facilitating this
Still failing to wrap my head around how "bad picks" can exist whatsoever if emotional attachment is the point of Smash.
why does the latest thumbnail from the creature comforts youtube channel look like a drama thumbnail.
if i made a normal mario game but had his catchphrase he says every time he jumps be "nintendo refused to stock their games to shops that sold sega games in the 1980s" would it be protectable under parody law
THIS ISN'T LEGAL ADIVCE I KNOW IT WOULDN'T
can't believe kingdom hearts became canon to goofy movie before goofy movie became canon to kingdom hearts
i think i've gained a newfound appreciation for the ssbu dlc because at least they aren't "projectile, forwards dash, downwards slam".
just saw a rare discord animation (posted at the exact second between posts that they no longer merge with the previous one and they were briefly merged before snapping apart)
I don't get why people say the Noise is OP during bosses in Pizza Tower? Those bombs are awful, just so much lag. I can basically only beat the bosses on Swap Mode in a Noise playthrough because of them.
I think vs. debating is only really fun when people go find insane **** from obviously non-canon sources. Like, "On the back of the 1976 Yogi Bear's Cinnamon Pic-A-Nics cereal box, there is a colouring page of Yogi using a solar-powered Milk Magnet to steal cereal, which has the strength to pick up entire cows, which are not native to Jellystone Park - in the coming-up-next bumper preceding the 2-minute Cartoon Network special Ranger Smith Driving Boringly While Not Speaking, made for April Fools' Day 1998 using existing footage and aired exactly once during school hours in Signapore, It is said that Ranger Smith has to drive 3 hours at 30 miles per hour to find Uncle Smith's farm, the only farm alluded to in the Yogi Bear universe thus far, meaning that the cows must have been drawn from 80 miles away. This makes Yogi's victory against Baloo (TJB/TS composite) all but ensured."
Since I posted about the Pakistan McDonald's commercials, it actually brought something to my mind: I grew up around the time of what Wikipedia calls the "Pakistan–United States skirmishes" (I don't know why Wikipedia uses that word, but whatever), and whenever I'd see Pakistan on TV, it was always warzones with dust and demolished buildings - and those commercials, even though I was just there for the funny mondegreens and bad animation, exposed me to the idea that Pakistan is actually well, a country, where children play Sonic games and eat McDonald's, just like the UK, and not some kind of weird exotic island that exists solely for bad things to happen.
If if there is any argument for the value of preserving ephemera like commercials, that would probably be it.
We should bring back Global Smash Roster. Terrible place for actual research but quite fun.
(I might be biased because Bubsy somehow made the top 1000 IIRC, Jill might have too?)
oh my god pakistan has a rational copyright law. rogue the rat will be ours in our lifespans.
I've always wondered…
Why do you hate Smash trailers so much? I'm asking because I've only seen a few of your posts that state how much you despise them. Is it because of how they're made or because of the marketing?
It's funny that Woon's official gaming debut is technically a Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers mod.
I have gone down the Thomas, MLP, and Barney lore rabbit holes through random YouTube video essay recommendations, and I think I was convinced the most of Barney's merits out of those 3 rabbit holes. Thomas seems very charming with a lot to love (especially in production), but also difficult to detach from its origin as a strict do-as-you're-told moral cautionary tale series; MLP is just... weird, not even talking about fandom or just FIM, the content of each show has so much... strangeness - sometimes in a cool way (The Smooze is fun and G1 seems neat as a whole, Discord is an amazing character design) but usually in just a bad way (communist village? child petrification ending? The entire Tales show?); but Barney's just a cool, over-theatrical babysitter that's interesting to learn about the changes to and fandom of. Even the Barney drama - aside from the big hate campaign - is kinda silly (pistachio addiction lmao)
I watched the Designing For video about the Rare "universe" and I thought it was funny that he said "They didn't have to travel through magic portals..." when that is the literal explanation given from Banjo's creator word-for-word for how Banjo and Conker appeared in Diddy Kong Racing
just found out about the herobrine thing. this has to be intentional, right? i'm always the first spoilsport to accept "yes, banjo-threeie was just a joke" but that response reads like arg material
I like the idea of alts that barely change anything but would have some kind of significance to fans (like say, single-sleeveless Cloud) on paper - I would love something like US Ness with eyebrows and converse for instance, or a Yoshi alt with orange arms and resting eyelids - but when you're working with even as much as like, a 15-or-so alt limit, it's just bad.
you ever think about the fact that one of the most popular streamers right now attributes his popularity to playing talking ben?
I want to show the Minecraft Movie mid-credits out of context not to someone from the 1200s or whatever, but rather the early 2000s (or maybe super late 90s) - it makes no sense regardless without knowledge of Minecraft, sure, but I think it would be enhanced as a clueless experience with the mindset of the 2000s hype about realistic CGI - 1. you've finally got realistic CGI, but you're using it to make block graphics? and 2. you've finally got realistic CGI and you're using it to make... this?
Something I learned while getting into Mickey lore due to the PD entry back in early '24 is that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has a lot of really random cameos from the original shorts, like it's Sonic Mania for Mickey Mouse or something. Salty the Seal, Wilbur the Grasshopper, Butch the Bulldog, these are all otherwise dormant characters they just decided to bring back for Clubhouse. Figaro from Pinocchio is there not because they wanted to put in something from Pinocchio, but because he had crossovers with Pluto back after Pinocchio first came out.
It's kinda interesting to think that some things we may see and not think much of, that don't appear to have avid fanbases, are basically someone else's Sonic Mania or Smash Ultimate. There's gotta have been some wiki editor out there back when Clubhouse first aired who didn't mind watching a "baby show" and was deep into 40s Disney and always anticipated the next big Clubhouse cameo. God bless you, wherever you are.
oh no "main character first" and "that's right, we're going back in time to the first jigglypuff to get meowth on the menu" are already back on the unpopular opinions thread
