Agreed - they’re ripping out the dumbest part of Animal Kingdom to make it (partly) Encanto-themed instead, so they clearly view the movie as a success.  

also, in general, audiences don’t really rush out to science fiction, and this was the second CGI science fiction movie they released in the calendar year.

Pivots to cashing a big check for some lazy hackwork

The people who don’t think Encanto was a big success for Disney don’t know any kids. It was inescapable for a year after it came out, with songs from the soundtrack hitting the top 100, every kid in the world singing them constantly, and the movie moved a lot of merch.

Disney doesn’t view cartoons as a success solely…

Personally I think the mistake Disney has made is their content strategy, not the release of Disney+.

Honestly, Strange World deserved better; it wasn’t an outright classic, but it was a fun update on B movies from the ‘60s. I’d rate it above Atlantis: The Lost Empire but not quite as good as Treasure Planet.

But it actually looks like they’ve done a lot to deal with the poor translations.

It wasn’t that difficult to infer after the events of Remake alone. 

What console warriors don’t understand, is that companies are not their friends, and couldn’t care less about them, except their money. So as a business, this is the right move. Console warriors were pretty sure that the move to buy Activision/Blizzard was to asure them a good stream of games, and not to secure assets…

Yeah. Someone deep in Microsoft is doing the same math that Sega did when it finally let the Dreamcast give up its ghost, and the company transitioned to a full third party developer. 

I keep trying this game and every time I run right into a wall of the worst dialogue any game has ever had. It’s just good guys dimwittedly explaining the simplest possible things to each other while occasionally saying inscrutable bullshit about hearts, and bad guys popping it say stuff like “Stay back, for we split…

Hasn’t the fact that Nintendo was one of the first game companies to pioneer false scarcity to make their products more appealing been known for like decades.

yea from 6.2" to 8" the actual viewing size of the screen is like 100" bigger.  That qualifies as a whole bunch bigger at least.

really curious what they call this thing.

This is a little bit bigger than the 6-inch display you’ll find on a standard Switch console...

I’m starting to think, and hear me out on this, that a 79-year-old producer might not be the best arbiter of what’s funny. 

All rumors point to no OLED. What kind of sick utopia do you think this is? It’s literally a sin in modern capitalism to release an advanced product that doesn’t regress in some departments so that they can resell it to you again a year or two later. It was literally written by Gɔd™ on the non-recyclable polyvinyl…

I’m generally of that sentiment as well, but I’d like to get back to the point where the switch was in 2017-2020 when you could (for the most part) blindly buy an indie/AA game and be assured that it ran in an acceptable state.

If it lands in the vicinity of, say, the PS4 Pro, that’ll be more than enough for me.

The GPU and CPU will be a make it or break it deal for me. I’ve stopped buying games on the Switch, because most have noticeable lag. If it isn’t that big of an improvement to compensate modern games, I won’t see a reason to upgrade
