@Philharmonic3 A lot of mobile game ads sought to become weird slop because it would get people talking. I remember years ago when everyone was joking about a game called Mafia City, where the ad would show a L1 Goon beating up people on the street to become a L100 Boss. Now every mobile game ad wants to be the next big meme, or at least an appearance on those Vinesauce segments

@umbraroze When the queen of England died, I learned about it from a Goku parody account on Twitter that said “I just got word from King Kai that the queen passed through the Otherworld check-in station!”

@nanoUFO This situation was always going to happen with any character-based competitive game. Eventually, there’s too many character matchups for new players to want to learn. Nobody would want to get into a game that requires hundreds of hours of homework before they can finally start to become good at the game.

This is a big reason why sequels exist. You have to reset the roster at some point, otherwise things become bloated and impossible to balance. Smash Ultimate has +80 characters, and it’s a miracle that that game only has 5 insanely powerful characters.

@nanoUFO I’m still not used to new games costing $70 USD yet since I buy most of my games used. In my head, $70 games are still the “Deluxe Editions”. If someone released a $100 game, I’d probably think of it as the “Super Deluxe Edition” and wait for it to be $60.

@SorteKanin @thirdBreakfast I guess Amazon and iTunes would be the closest thing, but rights expire for TV shows and movies far more often than they do for games. It’s insane that there are shows from 10 years ago that aren’t legally accessible or are straight-up lost media because the rights expired.

@Hydrogen I still don’t know how to feel about Dragon Ball Daima. The animation looks beautiful, but I’m not big on the GT-esque setup of everyone getting turned into children. Maybe I’ll warm up to it over time, but I worry that this is gonna be a Persona Q deal where it’s a prequel that can’t have any impact on the series out of fear of overwriting the continuity, especially since this was specifically made for the 40th anniversary of the series.

@klay They look good. I’ve always wanted to mod the shell of Switch Joy Cons, but I’m too afraid of the ribbon cable
