"That is why I transformed my own body with my own hands."
"But that was the past. Now you're nothing but a speck of dust to me!"
"See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything!"

idk it did something to kid me, and when you think about it, Metal looking like Sonic, the inferior life form, and choosing to change his own body kinda has something trans-y going on

Related thought: I kinda don’t like how Metal Sonic is like…. his own person. Idk, the fact that he’s supposed to be a copy of Sonic in robot form it just doesn’t make sense for him to be just like… a guy. With his own desires and stuff.

I get that it happened more or less by accident since Eggman programmed him to learn, grow, and adapt. But it still never sat right with me.

 

[Noipoi]

How is everyone?

Constantly flip flopping between despair, persevering optimism, and “holy **** I ****ing love Pokemon”

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Did anyone get your play the crosswords beta?

It's Baby's First Transhumanism. Besides, as a trans person, did you not also have desires and goals that went against what you were 'supposed' to be? Same idea

Oh yeah. I get the storyline. I guess it just doesn’t make sense to me to do it with a character who still goes by “Metal Sonic”

Persona 4 remake has a new domain registered now…same thing happened with Persona 3 Reload…damn could we really be getting a 4 remake so quickly?

I'm sure it happens fairly regularly in the comics (one of DC's characters is Detective Chimp, who is one of Batman's rivals for the title of World's Greatest Detective), but it always feels surreal to me when Batman interacts with anthropomorphic animals from other universes and forms connections with them based on some kind of past trauma.

Spoiler

as awesome as this moment is (hell the sequels and 2 other crossovers TMNT and Batman had are also awesome)…I can’t look at this the specific moment same after all the memes made out of it

and then we get a Persona 5 remake that no one asked

This magazine is a reminder for why late 1990's/early 2000's culture should die. Because wtf is this?

 

[Wario Bros.]

One of my vacation day requests was denied.

yippee...

 

[SneakyLink]

Ketchup Entertainment is supposedly trying to buy the distribution rights to Coyote vs. Acme.

Let’s see how this turns out.

There’s now another rumor cropping up that WB is actually selling Looney Tunes completely.

Yikes if true.

 

[Lamperouge]

It's true, I'm the buyer

 

[KingofPhantoms]

There’s now another rumor cropping up that WB is actually selling Looney Tunes completely.

Yikes if true.

My conspiracy theory of WB as a whole going under is becoming slightly more likely.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

...Okay. Now I'm freaking scared.

If these rumors are true, this might be one of the biggest things to ever happen in Hollywood history, let alone just animated. The Looney Tunes are a huge part of what Warner Bros is, and rumors say they're willing to just give that all up?!?!

I wonder who they plan on selling the rights to. Hopefully not Disney cuz Bob Iger has gone full since his return and god knows what he'd do to them.

And hearing this rumor, I honestly do believe KingofPhantoms theory that WB itself is not long for this industry.

So...if WB does go down, what happens? Cuz that's a huge company just falling apart and leaving just Disney, Universal, Paramount and Sony as the major film studios running the show in 'Wood. A lot of things could change from there...and it's worrying to think about.

 

[Knight Dude]

Out of all the Sonic songs NOT in Smash, at least lyrical ones, What I'm Made Of is probably the biggest missed opportunity. That's the kind of butt-rock that works well for a fighting game.

 

[Megadoomer]

Cowabummer.

Also, I'm surprised that Marvel hasn't done a similar crossover; I can think of at least six different team-ups that would make sense.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Ok there are decades of looney tunes media referencing that company and lt being owned by WB. They can’t sell them.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

and then we get a Persona 5 remake that no one asked

…the fact that a Persona 5 remake is somehow becoming more likely than us getting Persona 6 tho

Cowabummer.

A TMNT crossover with Spidey, X-Men, and Daredevil are easy money for Marvel to make yet they still won’t strike

 

[Shroob]

Apparently Atlus registered a trademark for Persona 4 Reload.


Persona 4 getting more stuff.
Again!

 

[Wario Bros.]

Xenodblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition has a 60 FPS mode in its coding

Switch 2 enhancing backwards compatibility seems likely now

Hopefully the Pokemon games can reach a somewhat stable 30 FPS now.

Just saw a video title saying something like "Sakurai says DEI is TERRIBLE for the gaming industry!"

The right wing grifters are using my goat as an anti woke mouthpiece now im gonna commit a crime

Like, I like P4, but Golden already felt like the definitive edition.


I guess someone at Atlus must have woken up and said "**** WE GOTTA HAVE ALL 3 PERSONA GAMES HAVE A REMAKE THAT CAN BE ABBREVIATED AS P#R......what the **** is a P1/P2???"

 

[Hex D. Jess]

P4 doesn't need a remake, P4G is very accessible and I believe it aged very well (source: I played it last summer for the first time and it's one of my favorite games of all time)

Well uh

Get ready to play it again I guess.



As an Atlus fan, I kinda knew this was coming but, man it'd be nice if they showed this level of love to any other of their IPs.

I would love it if “Warner Bros Discovery” fell apart and from the remains a new “Warner Bros” was formed. I’d hate to see the company stripped for parts and its IPs scattered to the wind.

Day 19: Voice of Cards

Alas, no meme, for this trilogy is so niche I couldn't find anything lmao. I also have to admit, I have yet to play the third game, but know enough from the first two to tell these games are very unique experiences. The two games I played are basically nice, small scaled JRPGs but with a slight twist, the presentation is done entirely like a board game and a tabletop game, your party is a bunch of cards, you travel around a map with a boardpiece and your MP equivelant is a bunch of little gems you see in a little box as if you were to physically there and had to count them yourself instead of reading the number. The first game is my preferred one of the two, it had a mean Yoko Taro writing streak, no exaggeration seeing as the man worked on these, but there was also this fun sense of humour which I can't really explain, sometimes you'd land on a space and there would be a special event and it felt like grabbing a chancd card in Monopoly or something to see if you got something good or not. I must stress that these are very, very simple games, but the presentation is just so unbelievably cozy, I feel as if I were with my TTRPG group, only with slightly less stupid **** happening constantly. These games are also inexpensive so it felt pretty worthwhile to me


Btw Noipoi tomorrow's game will have a Pokemon image, if you can guess which one I'm using, you get. Idk, a Like

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Schaffrillas uses Tamatoa as his mascot/persona for his YouTube videos, thanks to his personal attachment to Tamatoa as a character. No matter how minor Tamatoa is, he means a lot to Schaff, and I find that very touching and inspiring.

So, if you were to run a YouTube channel similar to his, who would be your personal Tamatoa? If you were to use a random fictional character as a mascot-persona-whatever, what character would that be?

Hate to be disappointingly unsurprising, but there's only one Tamatoa for Pink Yoshi

as someone who only been in the Persona cult since 2019…I have accepted that 3, 4, and 5 will literally never die

 

[PLATINUM7]

Hot damn that was when I was like, 8, I'd have gone insane with a bit of caffeine in my system, so much so I probably would have been able to do that like Fry did in Futurama after what was it, 300 cups of coffee?

It was 100 cups of coffee. He had $300 that he used to buy the 100 cups.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I had a feeling that I couldn't go into dev mode on my Xbox through mobile remote play and I was right.

Oh I didn't say I won't be seated though I understand the frustration
