The news of dear old leaders in a nutshell.

Super cute!

I always remember the early seasons of G4 where even they had no idea how to draw Stallion heads at more then one angle.

It was a hard side profile all the time.

It took them so long to figure that out.

I feel like everyone "says" they agree with this, but when it happens, people get pissed.

Especially the "Paid More to Work Less" part because that might mean a game being """"Over Priced"""

I love your take at the end about "Someone guy clearly loved Pikmin on the Hotel Transylvania game."

Games "Made with Love" is something I often look for as something that is separate from he quality of the game itself.

There's bad games made with love, and good games not made with love.

Those films had Genndy Tartakovsky as it's lead animatior right? (Samurai Jack, Primal, 2D Animal Clone Wars)

Maybe Tartakovsky is a Pikmin fan. He's not a game dev in any way but maybe he just gave the devs hired to flip this movie-game a nudge to make a pikmin game.

No it tracks that the "all good vibes and progressive people" Blue Sky would harass you for playing a Pokemon game.

Bullying doesn't die, just changes the rules.

It was literally a placeholder they forgot to swap out in a massive project.

Any other stories you are still misinformed on?

Still think Pokemon Patented: "All Monster Catching Games"? Because that was fake news too.

Hear me out: Arachnophobia modes are hard to do. Some make things worse.

My group pitched "a slime". Just drips down, sticks, yoinks you up.

My input for maximum silly? Sticky hand.

Can't wait for the Arachnophobia mode that's somehow scarier then the spider itself.

Now instead of seeing I spider, I get to mentally project the worst spider ever.

You can't fool those brain neurons! They fill the gaps with HORROR! That's why it's an irrational fear!

SharpEdgeSoda @sharpedgesoda.bsky.social · 4d

Looking at the #Peak update:

It's always those "Naw Spiders are cute and harmless! Don't be scared! :3" types,

That put the SCARIEST SPIDER CONTENT IN GAMES! Only reinforcing fear!

And 9/10 times an "Arachnophobia Mode" makes it worse.

Guess what my earliest memory of PURE TERROR is? (Below)

Very funny how the "America First" GOP is celebrating the death of America's most successful effort into the Video Game Industry.

The Xbox was born aiming at the "American Manly Man" with it's GIANT CONTROLLER and SPACE SOLDIERS FUCK YEAH core IP.

Anyway Helldivers is a better Halo game for PvE.

And you don't see a possibility of it being used only to *hand pick* propaganda pieces?

It all comes down to what a serious topic is. This isn't a W for Chinese people. This is about control.

Imagine if the US decided you all needed degrees to have an opinion on Immigration Policy?

It's like a lot of Nintendo games at the time that went SO HARD into asymetical multiplayer ideas that were pretty good, but DEMANDED you do it on a couch.

When all of them would have been better off as multiplayer games on a more traditional system.

Takes like this are always deliberately misreading what the point of moments like this are in fiction.

Media Illiteracy takes many forms.

It's about knowing who you can save, who can turn into a positive. Not blindly forgiving everything naively.

Or you're just pro-Death Penalty over rehab...

It's funny that Irish isn't white enough for them. They get mad anyway.

If you included English religious persecution, they'd get mad.

If you included Dutch...

...The Dutch invented modern capitalism and have had it easy since.

Anyway, it's going to be hilarious if they try to arrest JB and it blows up in their face.

My CuisinArt Burr Mill I got from my Great Aunt just stopped working in a strange way.

Inspired by @techconnectify.bsky.social, I decided to open it. Maybe it's simple inside.

Still no clue what's wrong, but I'm curious, and I'm in the Chicago Area. I'd donate this for a Coffee Grinders episode.

Is Andor Pro-Billionaire because some billionaires helped organize and fund the Rebel Alliance while using their privileged station to avoid immediate consequences from the Fascist Government for pushing anti-fascist rhetoric?

I guess it comes down to if their New Republic has aims to tax the rich.

I want to watch them try.

He's relatively iconic for a State Governor, and, he's a billionaire. Putting feelings about that aside, that's resources people that oppose Trump need to leverage against him.

Trump Fortune takes on the Hyatt fortune? I'll bet on Hyatt.
