Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Shroob]

I don't wanna sound like an annoying snob, but some things really shouldn't be live action
Minecraft is one of them.

But beyond that, I think the term I can say is it feels... corporate. Yes, I really do enjoy the Minecraft references and related jokes, but everything else feels hollow like a Ghast. All hot air but flimsy when hit.

Like lazily slapping Jack Black in there feels like them trying to cash in on the Bowser hype, Mamoa plays a arrogant buffon cause we haven't seen that before, isekai becauae going fully animated would scare off parents, jokes are not creative which is ironic for a Minecraft movie, etc.

.....Okay but fr tho idk why Jack saying "CHICKEN JOCKEY" is soo funny to me.


Also that one Villager doing their best David Murray impression

It's a funny phrase out of context.

In context it means you're dead.

The Minecraft Movie is baffling to me, in a similar but also the exact opposite ways that the 90s Mario Movie is baffling to me.

Like, despite how bad the Mario Movie is, it is a movie that is deeply interesting to me. It kinda rules in that regard.

The Minecraft Movie is fundamentally wrong on all fronts except for the game knowledge. and is committed to it's knowledge and choices.

I guess it makes sense though to bring things full circle. The Trainer Lodge feature has basically been a dating simulator ever since it came out.

Getting ready to come out to my family as trans. I'm sick of putting it off.

Feels kind of crummy to do so in the middle of all this political chaos though. Not expecting them to take it all that well. :/

Whilst I can kind of understand the popularity of the Minecraft franchise and as for the film itself, I can't really say how well the film adaptation will be received.

The Minecraft movie has unironically made me and my friends play Minecraft again. We’ll totally commit to it this time and not ditch it and pick it up again after two years. Third time’s the charm.

Day 20: CastleVania Dominus Collection

Behold, the best collection of classic games on Switch! You get Dawn of Sorrow, a cool game held back by magical seals now no longer held back by ****ty touch controls for the magical seals! Portrait of Ruin, which asks the bold question of "Hey what if we made Symphony of the Night but also made like Super Mario 64 with paintings and ALSO gave you two characters" and we get Order of Ecclesia, my favourite of the series! This lovely collection also includes Haunted Castle, the kinda not great arcade game that had absolute bangers reused in these games and... Haunted Castle! But this time, remade to be a more fun ride! These games are just very fun to run around in and explore in, constantly finding new weapons, Souls or Glyphs to experiment with (I'd say the same for Portrait of Ruin but haha Ice Needle and Shuriken go brrrrrr) and plenty of tricky fights against all sorts of cool monsters. All the DS games are absolute bangers and in my eyes, the peak of CastleVania. Also holy **** the music's all bangers, mmm mmm mmm! From Haunted Castle's Cross Your Heart, Dawn of Sorrow's Into The Dark Night, Portrait of Ruin's Hail to the Past and Order of Ecclesia's Rhapsody of the Foresaken... These games are absolutely fantastic and for the DS games? There's loads of replayability as there's a bunch of extra modes, Julius Mode which lets you play Dawn of Sorrow without the seals alongside Alucard and Yoko Belnades, Sisters Mode or Richter Mode which lets you play as 2 bosses or Richter Belmont and Maria Renard in Portrait of Ruin or Albus Mode in Order of Ecclesia. Now you too, can enjoy playing as a teleport spamming boss! These games are ****ing excellent and I cannot praise them enough, go play them when possible, I had the 3 DS games physically but still screamed when this was announced in that direct. Fun times...

Even if they don't react well, it always feels good to putting it out in the open.

My only take on the new AssCreed is that this is probably what Yasuke sees when losers install cringe mods

Also the toku style movie Ubisoft Brazil or something did was really cute

Apprently the credits are also 2 hours long but to be fair the credits are 2 hours long because they list every single thing that was used to make the game and all the people so I guess that makes sense

See here's a neat trick, ya don't have a 2 hour window to refund the game if you never buy it in the first place!

Unbisoft is so cooked

Shout-out to Mario Hoops 3-on-3 which is in a similar boat

The composer went on to do Final Fantasy 14 and 16

 

[Knight Dude]

Adding some Koei SRPGs to the SNES thing is cool. Not what I'm into, but it is good that more people can play them. Still waiting for Capcom to put Final Fight 2 and 3 on there, unless they do a Final Fight collection of their own. They only did a physical re-release of the first one since it was based on Arcade Beat 'Em Ups. And Ninja Gaiden 2 and 3 for the NES one.

Speaking of a final fight collection, you'd think FF1,FF2,FF3,MiniFF and GBA FF1 could make for a solid collection, maybe Final Fight Revenge if we're extra lucky.

It might not mean much from a dude who's primarily an online friend and all, but at the very least, I can hope it goes well.

American Dad leaves TBS after the season finale drops this week, having to move to a new network due to the last regime deal expiring. Gonna assume it moves to Hulu/Disney+ like with Futurama (or maybe it somehow ends up back at Fox…gonna hope not tho…)

I’m gonna guess the new season after this would be a Hulu exclusive. Would be a shame tho

Wow I did not expect that post about coming out to get the amount of support it did. Well I really have to come out to them now.

Nah but seriously thanks for the support everyone. I think I'll type up a letter tonight and post it to the family chat within a week or two.

My family is not especially transphobic but they are all really emotionally immature and definitely don't see this coming so I'm expecting bad knee jerk reactions but relative acceptance once things calm down.

I might also have to come out as aromantic if my parents start being nosy about my orientation because of this, and frankly I almost somehow expect them to be less accepting of that.

Twas ass.

For what it's worth, I honestly thought this storyline was handled fairly well. Aside from maybe the aunt being a total ham who obviously doesn't care about her niece and is only in it for money, but even her over the top personality fits the tone of the series at least somewhat with how utterly corrupt and incompetent Fazbear Corportation is in the games, which gets emphasized and referenced a lot later on thanks to least partly to the hammy computer narrator that shows up in Sister Location and Pizzeria Simulator.

Sure, there was no storyline like that in the games, but given the utterly complex and confusing storyline of most of the FNaF protagonists supposedly being Michael Afton taking on different identities and pseudonyms throughout the series to try and take his father down, a change like making Mike his own original character with his own family and story was probably necessary for a film adaptation of the first game. And I still think it was more interesting than just making him some random security guard we knew jack **** about who decided to stay at the job for five nights. Making him the guardian of a younger sibling also gave him a much more logical and relatable reason for wanting to take the blatantly dangerous job of a night guard at Freddy's than just being low on money in general or being someone who for whatever reason felt they needed to stay at the job long enough to investigate the mystery of Freddy's despite likely not at all being qualified to solve or handle the danger there.

At least with the original game, "Mike's" reason for staying five nights to a week at Freddy's isn't even given, but that's because, later games aside, you see everything through his POV and he's more or less just a faceless stand-in for the player themselves. Giving him no logical or explained reason for wanting to do the job in the film likely wouldn't have translated well.

If it’s not profiting in anyway then Pokémon probably won’t care. They very rarely take action against fan games, despite what most fans think. I like the idea of having a simulator like this in an actual game. It always made a lot of sense. So I hope it’s a good feature.

And to wait 3 months for HOME support.

If Gamefreak were real ones they wouldn’t shiny lock the starters at the start of the game.

At the very least I hope we don’t have to wait too long into the game to shiny hunt them. Whether it be distortions or some other method.

 

[Dukefire]

I've been starting over in my older pokemon games....after I transferred all the pokemon that I trained in the past. MAN, it was a long road to decide which pokemon to stick with.

You had to train them individually with an EXP share to another pokemon in the party. Not to all, thanks later generations to spoil my mindset. Also, you need pokemon as HM slaves since HMs cannot be forgotten without the Move Deleter's assistance.

Plus, tried the gambling mini games. They are fun.....sad Game Freak had to remove them for the remakes due to said topic restricted in certain countries.
