Shit nobody cares about enthusiast.

@Elvick @AZNFontana @Braxeo You're absolutely right, Nintendo should DMCA this repo.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias You say that like people don't fucking hate Disney for that.

Weren't those revisions made to make it fit more with LOTR? The first edition of The Hobbit isn't very accessible. Most people will never be able to develop a preference because newer revisions are far easier to find.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias I mean, sure. But he's made multiple rounds of revisions, which one is his real "real vision?" With him it seems like he just changes his mind on what he wanted and tries to act like he always thought that.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias That's not an ad hominem, I feel like I was fairly precise in avoiding using them, actually. But okay. Have a good one.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Have you paid attention to the broader context of this conversation at all, then?

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Should people be going around saying "George Lucas' revisions are what he really wanted and you shouldn't bother watching the originals?"

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias The experience offered by the REmakes is fine, but a fundamentally different one, if you think it supercedes it you are contributing to the decline of popular culture, you are literally telling people not to seek out a variety of experiences.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias How is it a strawman when George Lucas exists? I like the the REmakes for the most part as well, but the fact they're more popular today means literally nothing. Popularity rarely correlates with quality because most people consume to self-pacify rather than critique.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Who cares? Artists aren't necessarily any more able to understand what made their work good than the average consumer and no one has authority over how their art in interpreted. Anyone can't stand consuming the original and only engages with media through remakes is contemptible.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Even with your examples this is true, '81's is best here imo, but I would argue it was trying to emulate the contrast of B&W in that shot, then '11's version of the shot just sucks. With Frankenstein, the visage of Karloff's version of The Monster is clearly much more striking.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Not being able to enjoy a black and white movie is as much of a skill issue as not being able to enjoy an "outdated" game. Did people making old movies want to make them in color? Probably, but their limitations forced them to be creative in ways they wouldn't have otherwise.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@frochusti @ChurchOfMoons That's not an implication, as much as it is the joke of the plotline, and Jason's whole girl-hating thing in general. Pastis also quite overstates how much he's censored, it's usually one of his meta jokes. Honestly early Foxtrot was probably more edgy or daring than Pearls is.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@EnbyCreature999 Pokemon is just proof that you can have a great battle system but if players aren't forced to meaningfully engage with it, your game will still be boring. Imagine Nocturne if you could breeze through it without ever relying on or getting screwed by Press Turn.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@comet_melting Better than the "no one asked for this game but I'm making it anyways" trend. They never believe it, and it's almost never true, but it's even worse if it is true.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@fumikoded Must all playground equipment be art to consider an interactive sculpture art?

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@autopilotgod I'm also aware that it's intention is simply to evoke the tomboy-breaking gap moe trope, but in any case it's a questionable use of the trope for overtly framing gender non-conformity as a problem that should be fixed.

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@autopilotgod It can can only be interpreted that way if you see knights and damsels as entirely platonic in her complex, which they clearly aren't if she projects the knight ideal onto the MC in a romantic context.

If she was seeing men as princesses no one would find it homophobic.

@deathbian @TaxEvadinDemSoc You think animist tribes were going around trying to debunk their myths?

[Nix @ItsNix030]

@deathbian @TaxEvadinDemSoc When was the last time you saw a conspiracy theorist disregard their theories because the data didn't make sense? Heuristics are self-enforcing through cognitive bias.
