From what I understood in the Ez video, Rogers claims to have fooled the game into letting him start the race in 2nd gear, and it has been confirmed with some emulation trickery that if this were possible, scores as low as 5.4 seconds can be reached. But the game as-is with the original ROM does not allow starting the…

So get his butt in front of a CRT and Atari 2600 and get him to replicate his feats. If he even comes close, then accept his claims as legit. If he can’t, then put a * saying the times cannot be acceptably verifiable.

Marina has to deal with squids she doesn’t know asking if they can touch her tentacle hair. And when she says no, they look at her and treat her like she’s fulfilling the “Angry Octoling” stereotype.

The reason people like Marina more isn’t solely because she’s an Octolings. It’s because Pearl looks like a rapping, princess, and a spoiled brat. I even paused at multiple times during the direct where both of their faces were visible to see their reactions to certain things and Marina was almost always smiling (and…

Fun fact: Sherlock Holmes is (mostly) in the public domain!

Very, very cool to get the actual story behind the photo.

Since Marina’s the obvious choice, the waifu-defenders will come out in overly strong support for Pearl- things usually even out that way!

What if Marina and Pearl are the heralds of a cultural revolution where squidkids and octolings live side by side in harmony?

Pearl looks like squid Yolandi Visser so at least she probably dgaf if people like her.

Looks like it. Even has the Octoling symbol on the screen.

She sure looks like it. But then... single player... wut?

I think part of the hate for gambits is that you unlock the different parts of them bit by bit, and your total commands are limited at the start, and so at the beginning you are still sort of stuck micromanaging or relying on the AI to simply auto-attack. I get that increasing the gambit size / complexity over time…

DLC always has dubious canon placement, regardless of the game in most cases.

““The game plays itself!” or something similarly reductive.”
