@Artemis934@Lucayou7 If it makes you feel better, the author of the article has said that they imagine Lillian "canonically" recovers, and that Byrnes does suffer some karmic justice, in the end
@atomikalgd@CamVarner@yandhiisntreal I was talking about specifically about the Mushroom Kingdom level
But yeah, those were pretty good! I had a good time with those. But I paid $60 for Odyssey, and two somewhat challenging areas doesn't make up for the rest of the game being mostly patronizingly easy
@CamVarner@yandhiisntreal If a player desires to be challenged by a platformer, & they buy a game from a company that has previously made entertainingly challenging platformers, & discover that even the post-game is easy, then what does the devs' intent change? It doesn't make it less disappointing
@mysteryswords@CamVarner@yandhiisntreal I know you're being sarcastic, but I can actually understand why someone might like playing the level for nostalgia / victory lap reasons. But when someone says that it was too easy for their tastes, and thus disappointing, some people (not necessarily Cam here) have a huge issue
@CamVarner@yandhiisntreal It was post-game content in a platformer, I also wanted it to be properly challenging, especially since the rest of the game wasn't
Like, "what it's trying to be" doesn't matter if the player desires to be challenged, because it doesn't fulfill that desire whatsoever regardless
@Simonistired@yandhiisntreal That's . . . not true? What? You're misrepresenting an argument in, like, one of the most hyperbolic & unfavorable way possible lol
@CamVarner@yandhiisntreal Just because a post-game level is meant to be easy doesn't mean a player can't be disappointed that it's easy. They chose to make it easy. Some people disagree with that choice. Idk why that'd bother you, it's a pretty reasonable take imo

@Clover_Alien@wendegogo@saikopiled You being tired of it doesn't make it irrelevant; fanfic is a good starting point for writers (or just for fun), but it doesn't make you a storytelling expert
Besides that, I don't even know how the show presented itself as "lore heavy," whatever that means. Can you elaborate?
@PlushMaker400@RobotHimejoshi It's just little bits of trivia or behind the scenes stuff about the writing process, things like that. None of the information really matter, like, at all to the story lol
So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.
