A part of me wonders how DBS would be if it didn't have an atrocious production schedule. But I think the biggest thing that put me off Super is... I'm not a big fan of the artstyle.

It just feels hyper sanitized or just bad until the Goku Black arc, and only really gets really good in the ToP.

Of the main 5, looks visually the least appealing.

DBSuper did give us this exquisite screenshot

Trunks is a son of a billionare, of course he hates blacks

What would be some "essential" games for the SEGA Dreamcast?

The Typing of the Dead.

Got a fortune cookie with no fortune in it

chat, am I cooked?

Yeah, you have to carve your own destiny with your own hands. :/

I kinda wanna bring up Bulma marrying an illegal alien and getting the hots for Zarbon but yeah those two are devoid of melanin so fair enough

I may start the process on getting the pill soon.

You know, hopefully this doesn't come off in a weird way or something, but something I'm gonna miss with Kevin Afghani as Mario is Martinet's internationality. Allow me to explain:

Martinet was a very cultured person, and I mean that genuiely. He learnt as many languages as needed and even held entire interviews without speaking English entirely:

It was quite cool and close-felt that the main voice of the biggest gaming icon was also someone who dared to go beyond their comfort place and educated themselves to as much of their audience as possible.

Would love It if Kevin Afghani managed to go to such extents eventually, ngl.

I know you mean transitioning but taking the pill in the Dutch language refers to taking a kind of contraceptive so the 8 year old ij me is giggling

Not sure I fully understand but if that were the case I wouldn't need the pill now would I

They want rage clicks and fans are giving them exactly what they want, so... yes?

No way you guys don't have the morning after pill

They want rage clicks and fans are giving them exactly what they want, so... yes?

I'll be honest, it is incredibly weird how Mario fans lost their **** at reviews not being positive enough twice these past few weeks, like, oh no, one less than positive review out of all of them, this is worth becoming illiterate because number too small

 

[Jondolio]

If you mean what I think you mean, we probably do, I just wouldn't know myself as I have never done the deed

 

[Wario Bros.]

Remember that a critic review is still just a single person's opinion.

 

[Jotadé]

We'll see if It is truly the last one, although knowing Tom Cruise he will want to keep doing extreme stunts forever.

It's insane. I was in this server, and people were going crazy over the IGN score saying stuff such as "now people will think only about the IGN score and not the rest of the great scores"... And I was like "uh?".

I genuiely doubt the average buyer of a Mario game really cares about the review score of one internet outlet in specific... At best I could see a parent comparing reviews on the Google News section to see if It is worth the 60 bucks for their kid.

This also happened when the movie came out and was very mid.

I'm starting to think I've been gaslit all these years in regards to the Sonic and Mario fandoms

Oh no Sonic fans also suck, don't get that wrong, but it is noticable Mario fans are seemingly getting more toxic. Probably some social commentary to be made there

Sometimes I feel as if the internet, unintentionally at first doh, is designed to be this downward spiral of hatred and negativity.

Even my mother says that she has been reading about a lot of celebrities and big people dropping out of all social media because It is becoming too wild over these sites such as Twitter or Facebook.
Not to mention people such as Elon Musk, Zachari Levi or Ben Shapiro spreading hate-speech on their platforms. I know very well from personal experience that falling into their Rabbit holes is too easy if you are very young. I was very lucky to get out of It as soon as I did.

Tried fighting The Reaper again just to feel something and I don't even need Armaggedon to efficiently deal with him at level 99.

Not feeling great about the upcoming Nyx fight being a challenge

Coming from P3 FES, trust me: you DON'T want that fight to be a challenge.

While yes, fans overeacted. Ign is also incredibly weird for rage bating and posting the same review 7 times

now people will think only about the IGN score and not the rest of the great scores"... And I was like "uh?".

You joke but...uh.... the subrddit (yeah I know) has bee all "the ign scores were right..." and their enjoyment of the game died, some even cancled their preorder, BECAUSE of the IGN score so peeps do infact only think about the ign score

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Playtonic trolling continues

It's not just Brothership but Jamboree got a 2/5 which said "If you like these kinds of games, you'll enjoy this" which I've seen people act as if it were inexcusable

I mean, that means they agree with the issues the reviewer had with the game, not that they saw a low number and used that as basis for their enjoyment. It's a hit or miss game like most of the series

The rage bait post from IGN is strong.

Honestly, depending on rage baiting to maintain funds can't last long term if people knows the tactics........

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

The satifaction of being able to solve a sliding puzzle with no help feels amazing

 

[SneakyLink]

The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is hitting Xbox Game Pass soon.

By soon, they mean “tomorrow”

 

[Lamperouge]

I may start the process on getting the pill soon.

If you know you know

Is it this one

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Coming from P3 FES, trust me: you DON'T want that fight to be a challenge.

I remember celebrating when Nyx ended up being easier thanks to those Persona 5 style upgrades

 

[PeridotGX]

Is it this one

What if instead of Doctor Mario it was Doctor Wokio and the pills were Estrogen, Testosterone, and Progesterone and the viruses were God The Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit

 

[SneakyLink]

Tomorrow, Overwatch 2 will launch a classic mode, featuring 6v6 gameplay, returned classic abilities, and zero character limits.

And now I must dread the horror of 6 Torbs on last again.

Starts tomorrow and runs for three weeks.

Well it won the last election so…

Dragon Ball Super is peak if you read the manga. The Tournament of Power could’ve gone without immediately taking out Krillin and Tien (they really hate the humans in this series holy ****) but we got Roshi vs Jiren and Gohan vs Kefla. The Goku Black arc was also done differently and went in a better direction imo.

You also got two new arcs that probably won’t be adapted to anime for another five to ten years.

 

[Jondolio]

Just beat Persona 3 Reload...

I don't think I'm ok

Seeing 6 torbs again just gave me PTSD.....and others from classic like symmetra's homing primary

In other news, next season, Multiversus will introduce a “buy everyone” button (up to Nubia).

Will be roughly $50 in premium currency with discounts available based on who you unlocked (free grinding still available).

 

[Jondolio]

One Piece is going on a break again, this time it's apparently being called an "emergency hiatus".

Hope Oda's doing ok

I would play the hell out of that
