“I never stopped enjoying swinging around as Spider-Man”

It wasn’t good. Open world is fun when you can take your time and explore at your own pace, Sonic games are good when you can go with the flow and follow where it’s taking you, steering and jumping as necessary. You can immediately see the problem. If you just let the world take you where it wants you to, it’s fine,…

I don’t really think it’s for “mystique,” Nintendo usually just doesn’t really lean into “behind the scenes” stuff that much. I think in this case they just want the new VA’s performance to stand on its own without making a big deal about it.

And she dies in the first episode and nobody else calls him that for the rest of the series. I legit forgot about it, which made reading this article make me feel like I got Mandela Effected/

Who TF calls him ‘Dee’? A year of dialogue about this show and no one says that.

I’m not sure how to find it, but at some point there was an interview with someone at Nintendo where they talked about the direction of the Paper Mario series (it was featured here). They explicitly stated that they felt 2 Mario RPG series was too many, so they would be keeping the Mario & Luigi series as RPG, but…

I feel like these things go back and forth. Like the entire New Super Mario Bros series was pretty stagnant and then for Super Mario Wonder they were encouraged to do as much new stuff as they could. They just seem to kind of switch back and forth between playing it safe and trying to be more original. I wouldn’t be…

I think a lot of people can’t discern a protagonist from a hero. Like, whoever is the main character, they’ll read the work as endorsing them, their views and actions.

yeah i hate it when stories have rising scope and tension. lord of the rings would have been better if it was just about gandalf and bilbo partying and smoking weed

Psst, Kenneth, pro-tip: if you’re having trouble looting, hold down X on PS5 (or A on Xbox/Switch). A menu will pop up listing every item and container within range of your character, and then you can just go up and down the list to loot.

I like the idea of treating this live-action series like a standalone One Piece movie.

This.

This. I don’t remember being annoyed when it first came out, but do remember the HD port having this issue. For the longest time, I felt like inverted was the standard configuration, and then all of a sudden inverted was the exception to the rule.

Well, it is possible they could still cancel them.

Just because they were finished doesn’t mean the asshats at HBO wouldn’t just scrap them anyway. I mean, they clearly won’t now, but if you told me that a week ago I wouldn’t be surprised.

All the other major streaming services and studios are pulling the same crap. Disney are just the latest. Rather than killing off the providers, the solution is to close down this loophole in the tax law which allows them to get away with it in the first place.

Disney just needs to kill Dinsey+. It hemorrhages money and has barely produced anything of value outside of one or two things (it’s Andor, it’s just Andor). In fact I’d say it does more damage to the IPs they use than just leaving them on the shelf would have. The age of “content” is killing media. 

There are not paid shills in the way you want to think exist. Choosing sources that are known to be generally positive about the media they review and just giving them the opportunity to speak about something before everyone else so they get the clicks is both legal and serves the same function. Paying strangers to…

‘Reactions’ are just out-sourced press releases. Change my mind.

Every time a company cancels a show or movie that’s already been made, I want to slap them across the face.
