His potato shell is near indestructible. He can shoot chunks of it in a special move that is wonderfully named Smash Potato. He's as strong as Metal Greymon.

One of my favourite Digimon is Jagamon because. he's potatoe

Jagamon, a rotund quadrapedal creature that is covered in hard potato chunks. His tail is the leaves of a potato plant. He shoots potatoes from his body. He has Pikachu-esque red cheeks

Be careful with this little guy. Tiny thin hinges exploded as I was trying to transform the chest.

It's before my time but for my older family members it was just one of the many 80s child-friendly sci-fi films that they watched, not anything unusual. Flight of the Navigator probably had a bigger cultural impact in my house.

That incredibly strong aesthetic is the only reason it among the other 80s sci-fi dross is getting plundered for merch and reboots at all, otherwise we'd be getting 2025 action figures of Flight Of The Navigator, The Last Starfighter and D.A.R.Y.L.

The original TRON isn't great art but it's a an enjoyable movie with an immortal aesthetic, a sweet soundtrack and a historical place in the use of CG. But it didn't have a big *nostalgic* impact because it's stuck in the crack between late Star Wars and early Reagan-era advertoons.

I'm a huge fan of toys and of the original TRON movie.

There's a bit in The Strange Calls (great show, everyone should watch it) where there's a character who is addicted to, and has a backpack full of, off-brand tamagotchis and I'm worried that's where my current Digimon brainworm will take me

Me: your package from Abercrombie and Fitch came

My wife: Thanks

Me: or since it's October, maybe I should say Aber-zombie and Witch

My wife: You don't have to say that

I unlocked Mega in Digimon Story: Time Stranger and again I love that evolutions are locked behind story progression (and not, as they were in previous Digimon RPGs, reliant on your own feverish grindy madness) as it means you get a Christmas of mons to power up all at once.

A European company basically saying "the US is too racist for us to make an anti-slavery, anti-Klan game". Things are Great Again!

Three sources told Game File that word filtered through the company last July that management in Paris had stopped development of the game for two reasons: 1) online backlash that spring to the reveal of Yasuke, a historically-inspired Black samurai, as a protagonist in the company’s then-upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows; and 2) concern that the political climate in the United States was becoming increasingly tense.

“Too political in a country too unstable, to make it short,” one source familiar with the game and its cancellation told Game File.

Look if you can't engage with a hot rich mummy who's also an expert ice Digimon user and a member of an elite world-saving squad just because she's married then what are you even doing.

For a moment I thought the focus on the hand meant this was getting mistaken for AI art and I was like "no, that finger's not messed up it's just a wedding ring"

And then I Realized

It has counters, but I play games for fun, not because I either want to rotely perform the One Good Combo or the One Good Counter over and over again.

Ugh, Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links was doing so well at not having a single dominant meta deck for such a long time and now all of a sudden everyone's playing the same effect damage OTK deck

Whenever I wear my big fluffy slippers after not wearing them for a while I always shake them upside down first because "haha what if there's a spider in there" and when I did it the other day there was a spider in there.

As much as I hate to defend Power Rangers' tendency to constantly revert to MMPR this does make sense, there was a limited relaunch of the original show 15 years ago (as well as, y'know, the unavoidable and quintessential cultural osmosis)

As a movie in its own right it's just forgettable and bland except for the banging soundtrack. As a TRON sequel it's abysmal.

I never played TRON 2.0.
