Yooo go to TooManyGames from Jun 26-28 in PA, play BOWLBO in person! Let the team know if it’s fun or not 🤓 I’m not going to be there as I have to attend a wedding, but please go show the team some love, they have worked very hard on it ❤️❤️❤️

I hate when a series having more games is held hostage by remakes. Nintendo didn’t need to remake the dkc snes trilogy in order to bring him back they just fuckin made bananza😭

[Kusi Costanza @AntifaCostanza]

I just love how we're all meant to collectively bend over for their retarded brand management pitches. I'm a Rayman Legends fan and have zero interest in this remake. Maybe they should do something else next time!

[Captain Lard @CaptainLardnar]

@Magnarancia Isn't it also strange that this recent generation of consoles hasn't had a Rayman 2 port/remake?
I remember back in the day people used to make fun of the fact that Rayman 2 had been ported everywhere.

It’s hard to be surprised these days with how dire AAA gaming is but even so it’s astonishing that they put not one but TWO quipping inanimate object companions in that new God of War

At some point you just gotta say I dont care about western games, they are ugly.
and finally just stop constantly complaining about them, we already know everything about these games and their developers before they even show them, there are far worse things in the industry like actual censorship and localization that happen to good games to care about ugly marvel games.

This was unironically the best game in the whole presentation

[Captain Lard @CaptainLardnar]

What benefit are we getting from the 3D here? The visuals are a clear downgrade from the gameplay footage they have shown, but I guess Rayman says funny quips now or something.

[Captain Lard @CaptainLardnar]

The 3D Rayman Legends is such a disappointment.
Will the industry ever move on from remaking perfectly fine games?

I've been having a good guffaw sharing the whole sliced pineapple with Kool-Aid thing to my friends.

[Sprocketguy @Sprocketguys]

This is how I realized retro compilations & remasters replaced new licensed video games
Lateral move, mostly

Korean animators have been the backbone of American animation for like 40 years. Even calling it the "American animation industry" is almost a misnomer because the only things American are the writers, character designs, and storyboards (mostly).

Since it's gay pride month I'm going to post my annual gay take

For thousands of years humans wondered "what if we set the gays free. What could they do?"

And in the early 00s America set you free. This country allowed you to live, marry and express an identity that is centered around solely who you are sexually attracted to.

Initially, we thought we were opening the doors to a Renaissance type event. Here was a new people arriving at the world stage. What will they bring? Great art? Great architecture? Great music?

Unfortunately that event never happened. It's a disappointment.

Happy pride month

Party identity is getting weaker every generation. Gen Z and Millennials are majority independent. If someone tells me they are a member of a political party I look at them like they have cancer.

What this means is the representative-party model is mismatched to how many people now experience politics.

No one is thikning “I am a Democrat/Republican, so I delegate judgment to my team.” They think issue-by-issue.

Which is exactly how Direct Democracy works. And why voting on the issue itself, not on a politician, is the only system that works in a nation of independents.

Sad they had to come out and confirm it was designed by Toriyama when it clearly was designed by Toriyama because people only know him for his Vegetas and Gokus
Dragon Quest was always a good outlet for him to expand his character designs and pretty much all my favourite works by him come from this series.

The character is suppose to look sleep deprived, he doesn't have the aggressive eyebrows or angular eyes poeople tend to associate with Toriyama, thats the point, its story is based around dreaming.
Visuals are also a key aspect in story telling and I am sure the actual plot of the game will very much do favor to the design.

Desde que se volvió moda tirarle mierda a Japón, nos gusta pretender que éste no era un fetiche mundial, lol.

Todos los uniformes que fetichiza Japón vienen de Europa, pasa y resulta que a los hombres les gustan las faldas y lo que muestra pierna, ¡qué sorpresa!

[Captain Lard @CaptainLardnar]

@Magnarancia That's why I love Dragon Quest, you'd be surprised at how many bosses are actually vulnerable to poison and/or sleep.
