It's always hilarious to see how offended the gods become when you point out their wrongdoings and show they're even worse than the mortals they look down on. Arachne was GodsOfTikTok and got turned into a spider for it. And yet somehow, people keep interpreting Athena as the right one in that story. Go figure.

Pretty sure The Patriots as outlined by Fake Colonel are more relevant than ever. And I've never even played Metal Gear.

I think they handled Peach as tactfully as they could in the current year, but it really wasn't great, and she and Luigi should have swapped roles, no question.

You see this all over the place, though. Attraction to and reliance on a guy is no longer allowed to be a motivator for major female characters anymore. Amy doesn't have any personality anymore in recent games because they've completely removed her crush on Sonic. She's just there because we gotta have the girl-appeal character. We don't get Sonic being flustered and off his game, having to put up with her trying to tie him down. We don't get Amy pushing herself to keep up with and impress him. She's just the generic girl hero who tags along because reasons.

The thing they don't seem to comprehend is that we EXPECT "Public Enemy No. 1" to have a billion "charges."

I mean "Trying their hardest to make the art style look as true to life as possible." That is what I'm decrying here. And again, I'm not saying it's all bad, but the more "grounded" you make the game, the more effort goes into all the nitty-gritty detail, and the less goes into making something that's actually fun to play.

This is precisely why I despise realism in games. I play games to go to fantastic places, do interesting things, and become something different then I already am. They're so obsessed with recreating the real world, when I'm here to go anywhere else.

That's not to say you can't have realistic games that do interesting things and have interesting places. But it definitely makes the developers have to work that much harder on the setting and characters.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as they say. It's not like these are the only movies to exist, anyway. This is the same kind of nonsense as complaining that every fast food joint has their own kind of chicken sandwich.

It's easier if the appliance is anthropomorphized enough. I found myself thanking my roommate's smart lights for a while, just because I was used to thanking people for doing stuff for me. And that was just a voice.

I like some of his reviews, but every time he gets opinionated on something that isn't the craft of filmmaking, I find myself rolling my eyes.

I see a Pidgey I recognize it as a Pidgey. I'm not going to mistake it for some other real or fantasy bird. There really is something timeless and iconic about the old school pokemon designs, even if they're simple in execution.

Also, I'm not sure what you think a bat looks like, but they tend to not be teal and have no eyes and long tendrils for legs.

What did Gen 4 and 5 do to get roped into this? I like Drifloon and Trubbish. There's room for blob monsters like Muk and Garbodor to coexist together. At least none of their designs have resorted to having a face straight out of Adventure Time.

It really is fascinating how Christianity just brings out the worst in some people. It just existing is enough to trigger some kind of reflex, no matter the actual content. I'm not going to discount the abuses people have done wearing the church as a shield. (Virtue Signalers go all the way back to Annanias and Sapphira after all.) But the sheer vitriol that manifests when Christ enters the picture is downright ridiculous.

The sheer amount of downvotes for such an innocuous, common sense concept is rather depressing.
