That's a thing they've done a few times. An "adult happy meal" they call it.


Which is literally just a 10 piece nugget/big mac meal with a toy. The toys are different than the ones in the kids meals, usually based off the old mascots like Grimmace, Birdie and Hamburglar.
While it may have been years since I went to one of those, I've never heard of that before, especially not in my country. Just. Why market toys for a children's movie to grown ups on billboards? I like stuff that's supposed to be for kids too, I lovingly refer to my toku toy and figure collections as plastic crack, but like, idk. Feels weird

Gotta be honest, idk how to feel about this trend of kids things being marketed torwards adults.

I'm not saying adults shouldn't indulge in childish activities (cause I'm not one to talk), but moreso the way they're marketed and stuff feels... off?

It's 100% bizarre yeah, but gotta get those sweet bucks from the 30-50 year old depressed nostalgia addled crowd.

:ultsamus:Gimmi Prime 4 in 4k with 60fps:4samus:
Honestly the one thing I'm primarily curious about Prime 4 on Switch 2 is if it'll get me to be comfy with mouse controls, I don't have the space or the stuff to get a proper PC set up so if I can just drag the joycons on my couch and get proper aiming done, well, I'm in for an experience despite being lefthanded. As for the graphics? Hoo boy do they look gorgeous but idk if my tv can handle 4k 120 HDR or whatever lol

You don't understand, pink razors are meant to make women feel less disgusted at shaving while men get camo themed stuff so they don't look weak when taking care of the child they love, they're also extra expensive because why wouldn't you want to spend extra on this to feel more secure?

My favorites are dude wipes and liquid death.

One's just wet wipes, and the other is water in a can. But for men.

But hey it's successful so I can't hate.

Fast Food Kid's Toys? I think the only nostalgia I have was for the Burger King Pokemon The First Movie campaign. As my goodness I don't think I've ever eaten as much Fast Food at any other point in my life; thank goodness I had a high metabolism as a kid. 59 toys, posters, trading cards, etc. Probably the peak of PokeMania.

I actually still have the Togepi plush sitting on my desk and the Gold Pokemon Cards/Slabs sitting on my dresser. Thinking back, I think I had about 16 of the 59 toys and around 140 of the 151 trading cards. lol

I gotta say, i find women more attractive if they have the masculane smelling deo like Old Spice. Tho a little lemon smell wouldnt hurt but floral smelling stuff makes me sick

That "pink tax" **** pisses me off

You bringing this up does make me think of how smells can effect our bodies.

Like, I'm an adorer of all things floral, but I get why it's not for everyone. The stuff can be strong, and that's without the allergy association.

For me, the stench of certain vegetables frying and cooking makes me wanna die.

Iirc, same script, but the visuals are not finished at all. So there's missing and/or unrendered CGI throughout the movie.
Wait, so an unfinished version of the entire movie leaked? I only heard about a leak of a purported script of the movie itself.

I'm even less up to speed than I thought lmao. That's wild.

As a kid I loved playing with random desktop toys and other random downloadable nonsense. Nostalgia jumpscare

My favorite thing to do with this was to use the color-thrower to make Pretty Patties. I was that kind of kid. I also loved those little toys that gave you sports balls to throw around your screen.

These days though we know to avoid random downloads like this to avoid getting heinous viruses on our PCs. Dream Jelly speaks for us here

I do hope the inbetween sections of the tracks in Mario Kart World are able to be disabled. Not to keep on that tbh
There is a hint that they might. There's an option when selecting Knockout Tour that says "Intermission". Since the whole point of that mode is to race the in-between sections, it's unavailable, but it might be useable for Grand Prix :yoshi:

And the green screen effects are unpolished
And I swear some of the pandas moving around are the result of someone typing "minecraft pandas dancing" into an AI video generator
It could just also be animation errors or the result of the film's already wonky animation with blocky creatures and characters combined with the post-production not being finished or polished on this version yet, but at this point, I don't always entirely know what to trust what's made by people and what's made by AI anymore.

Crystal Rafflar's theme is probably one of my favorites out of any fan-game project.
