If we're talking nostalgic toy commercials, I have to mention the GOAT


Any of the Mahri or Barraki commercials are probably my favorite but I mostly remember the Online mini movie versions and not the commercial versions.

This.

Now THIS, right here, was my childhood along with video games.

I loved Bionicle in general. I played with them all the time, loved both building and playing with them more than any other action figures on the market, and I always either asked or hoped for the next series of them every Christmas or so.

To this day I still own every figure I ever got as a gift or bough myself. The Hordika, Inika and Mahri Toa and the Vizorak, Piraka and Barraki are among my favorites, along with the Rahkshi as well.

Bring BIONCLE back again, Lego. You revived 'em once, you can bring 'em back a second time.

Didn't these fellas get in trouble once for using a no-no stereotype lol.

To explain, that was from a character description of one of the...tongue Mixels iirc (some of the ideas for Mixel tribes were wild), and the bio referred to them as a...let's say it's the title of a popular Aphex Twin song. Which also happens to be a no-no word.

That'd probably be part of why the franchise ended so quickly. A controversy like that is gonna cast a DARK shadow on the whole thing. But it's a shame that some Lego webmaster's terrible choice of words cast such a bad reputation on a really charming toyline.

Not the Goon Gumpas 😔

I did know about the controversy, but I never knew the details, I had no idea that phrase that was the source of controversy was ableist, the more you know I guess

Well, it'll at least work for Ultimate and the Mario Sunshine re-release. I already own Metroid Prime's original version, does the remaster let you use the GC controller like those two?

...okay.

I won't try to change your minds. I'm a lot more positive about the future, but I know constant positivity can get beyond exhausting...even in the times we're in right now.

But if humanity only has so much time left...I guess we better make the most of it.

Oh unlike Michael I don't think humanity is going anywhere, I'm just second-guessing if I should still being trying to always see the good in people.

But I suppose I've been spiraling a lot too and I just haven't been feeling like myself.

I might need to get screened for PTSD tbh.

So what is considered the order of what is the easiest to hardest to 100% for the games in Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy?

If you consider getting the gold time trial relics for every game, then I'd say, from easiest to hardest, Crash 3 -> Crash 2 -> Crash 1.

If you don't, then you're only required to get gold time trial relics in Crash 3, so the order would be Crash 1/Crash 2 tied and then Crash 3 as the hardest.

Take good care of yourself. I hope you find your light at the end of this tunnel.

I won't say much, but I will say that you deserve to be happy, and I'm sorry that you've not been feeling like yourself lately. Just remember to look after yourself and take the steps you believe you need to take to heal yourself, at the pace you feel most comfortable.
