@gestasgloom @khhhalid00 @GoodGrubMadCity The best selling Sonic not bundled with a Console sold 6 million copies
The best selling Kirby game sold 7.5 million copies

Now if you want to argue people would've bought Sonic 1 even if it wasn't bundled with the Genesis be my guest, but Sonics game was in '92. Kirby's 2022

@Neo_Paulinite @Jack_Luminous No it doesn't. Death penalty actually lets criminals go unpunished longer because some people don't want to report a criminal and get them killed. Also if they're going to get the death penalty anyway they are more likely to kill people after lesser crimes like rape and robbery

@antipiracyslop You say that but people still buy Capcom games after SFV released so who is really eating up slop

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@gestasgloom @khhhalid00 @GoodGrubMadCity Sonic games so bad we have to bring up movies lolol

Anyway the answer is one and a TV show. And once again Kirby wasn't done so poorly that fans demanded it be changed before release

@TatsunokoCroi @Pilgrim_Astra @SUPERBLOWFLY So you're saying it's better that Magneto is a Malcom X parallel from the time when he was just an outright villain with no redeeming qualities at all?
You think Malcom X was a deranged villain, separatist, and militant?

@MightBeStatic Me and some of my lucha libre friends were a little sad about it, too bad Dark Knight Rises was an absolute banger so it took the sting away

@shiburizu Where else are they playing Catherine

@FlyinWindoSeal The endless war of Nostalgia vs Recency Bias.
I don't think Project Hail Mary is top 150, but your average person probably hasn't watched 150 movies either so it's not surprising that popular movies that also appeal to film nerds crack the top 200 regularly

People defending bad artistry because it's their fave. Whether it's Oda, Togashi, a film director, author or whoever. You can still enjoy art without pretending it's a flawless masterpiece, because those don't exist.
Mistakes can be made, but the intention should have reason.

@travis2504 @gabriel96124738 @FireLunar_ I did, you can't be bothered to actually read the manga or look up the chapters. 263-266 non stop narration boxes telling me something I'm seeing, not trusting the audience to put even the most laid bare connections together in a real showing of handholding, anti-intellectualism

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@gabriel96124738 @FireLunar_ Yes things are over explained, I've been reading HxH "weekly" for 2 decades now. I remember these complaints during GI and CA too.
God help me if I have to see the palace invasion from CA again. The narrator just literally describes exactly the pictures I'm already looking at.

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@FutaRule34 @FireLunar_ Did I use the word bad? And yes there can be bad expositions, it's the fault of many movies and books
And its not "anti-intellectual" to say someone is misusing tools of their medium. Me telling a child they should use a different paintbrush for details isn't anti-intellectual

@Saeba5047182490 @Alison_is_lost It's literally your vault that is their main objective. They are looking for vaults because the inhabitants have not been exposed to radiation and will be better subjects for FEV.

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@BrndnStrssng Those are the ones I love the most and the one I was most excited for yesterday lol. I love using criterion to find movies I've never heard of from countries I generally haven't seen movies from

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@Saeba5047182490 @Alison_is_lost The 2nd objective doesn't really come into play until after the 1st objective and even then it's "please protect our vault from the growing super mutant threat" so once again the vault is already destroyed and your motivation is gone.
Your "Role" in the RPG is Vault Dweller

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@MightyEngrams @gojirapal The factually are not. Chris Claremont who took over and made all their most notable traits admitted as much. Magneto's backstory as a Holocaust survivor was made with an Israeli Prime Minister in mind.
MLK and Malcom X is a fan theory with no basis in reality

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@GoodGrubMadCity Which is crazy because if we through the Cyber Sleuth games into the Pokemon franchise they immediately enter the top 5 or 6 for me.
Only GSC would outright rank above Cyber Sleuth, maybe another game before Hackers Memory.

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@Saeba5047182490 @Alison_is_lost Well no, you lost. The meta textual reason is that you failed the main objective of the game so you lose, game over. Narratively, you also lose your home and your main driving force and motivation.

[Abel Strickton @ClinicallyAble]

@DrakomanZX @DJK1NG_Gaming You think combat and fall damage are the requirements of a survival game? Is Call of Duty Warzone a survival game? Are Fallout 3, NV, or 4 survival games?

I think you might not know what a survival game is tbh
