I wish there could be some realistic middle ground that accepts they fuck up regularly yet still lauds and enjoys their products. No it has to be polarizing and contentious.

It’s in the second tier along with Donkey Kong Country and Mega Man X.

Stupid movies need the most attention!

It’s not that life is so short, it’s just that you’re dead for soooo long.

Ditto. I mostly dig the show but that episode was red meat for some really annoying people.

Call me an old man but the pickle rick thing might be the apex of my annoyance with the rick and morty fanbase.

The shittier part is where the money lies. Even if they sell it at half price, the production costs compared to the original are a fourth of what it costs a company to make a quality figure, or even less. Materials and detail can seriously elevate production costs. As such, counterfeiters can make more money even if…

Sometimes their molding work is outsourced to China where the company in charge “loses” some molds and a related company uses them with lower quality materials in order to produce them. I had a Pokémon Red vs Blue Nendoroid whose sculp was awesome (just like the original) but the plastic and the paint job was terrible.

That is pretty much how Chinese bootleggers do it. The recast quality varies and there are recasts from recasts as well. In the case of figurines and statues, many were recast straight from its original resin kits.

The power of Splatoon, man. Japan freaking looooooooves Splatoon. Honestly out of all the major first party titles the Switch has had so far Splatoon 2 has been the biggest one for Japan.

I am about to write you a long message that I hope makes sense! Apologies in advance if it is a jumbled mess. Lots of thoughts on this.

christ you are dumb

Yeah, I feel for the guy. It can get weird when tiny little personal projects blow up and suddenly people are critiquing it like it’s some massive commercial product.

How is the underdog getting all the points here in any way at all? The ONLY matches that count are mayo v ketchup, meaning each side has exactly the same number of opportunities as the other in order to make the whole thing not just some pointless polling. If that’s all you care about, why even play the game? Or, how…

Actually the popular team still has an advantage in this scoring system.
