@Elvick @AZNFontana @Braxeo You're absolutely right, Nintendo should DMCA this repo.

@AZNFontana @Braxeo The entitlement to tell the internet that something you uploaded for free, a mod for a billion dollar corporation's IP and game they don't own, should disappear because somebody is a dumb ass online is astounding.

Because you don't reward tantrums. github.com/The-Braxeo/ssb…

@GarladorJones @spidermanias You say that like people don't fucking hate Disney for that. Weren't those revisions made to make it fit more with LOTR? The first edition of The Hobbit isn't very accessible. Most people will never be able to develop a preference because newer revisions are far easier to find.

@ItsNix030 @spidermanias "Art is never finished, only abandoned" my Disney instructors taught me. Tolkien spent years revising parts of his books based on his own personal preferences and life experiences. Is the OG Hobbit superior or worse than the revised Hobbit? That's up to reader preference.

“What is the point of the remakes” Is everyone under some mass psychosis? I feel like this can’t be an actual question presented the answer is just blatantly there.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias I mean, sure. But he's made multiple rounds of revisions, which one is his real "real vision?" With him it seems like he just changes his mind on what he wanted and tries to act like he always thought that.

@ItsNix030 @spidermanias Strawman argument and poor comparison of a half-truth. "George Lucas's revisions ARE what he really wanted, AND it's worth watching the originals." It's literally what Ridley Scott advocates, and what I agree with.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias That's not an ad hominem, I feel like I was fairly precise in avoiding using them, actually. But okay. Have a good one.

@ItsNix030 @spidermanias I never said that. I said it's a different discussion. ... Are you just looking for something to be upset about? I genuinely don't have time for ad hominen.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Have you paid attention to the broader context of this conversation at all, then?

@ItsNix030 @spidermanias I'm not saying that and I never have. Both deserve their praise and strong sales. It's literally this meme:

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Should people be going around saying "George Lucas' revisions are what he really wanted and you shouldn't bother watching the originals?"

@ItsNix030 @spidermanias George Lucas's revisions should absolutely be allowed to exist. So should the originals (which we're getting, btw). That's two completely separate arguments, and neither involves discussions of quality.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias The experience offered by the REmakes is fine, but a fundamentally different one, if you think it supercedes it you are contributing to the decline of popular culture, you are literally telling people not to seek out a variety of experiences.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias How is it a strawman when George Lucas exists? I like the the REmakes for the most part as well, but the fact they're more popular today means literally nothing. Popularity rarely correlates with quality because most people consume to self-pacify rather than critique.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Who cares? Artists aren't necessarily any more able to understand what made their work good than the average consumer and no one has authority over how their art in interpreted. Anyone can't stand consuming the original and only engages with media through remakes is contemptible.

@ItsNix030 @spidermanias Hollywood remade countless films at the start. Silent films were remade as "Talkies". B&W films were remade in color. Like games, they returned to the well to use the newest technology to retell their stories and experiences in a fresh way. Often with the original director too.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Even with your examples this is true, '81's is best here imo, but I would argue it was trying to emulate the contrast of B&W in that shot, then '11's version of the shot just sucks. With Frankenstein, the visage of Karloff's version of The Monster is clearly much more striking.

@GarladorJones @spidermanias Not being able to enjoy a black and white movie is as much of a skill issue as not being able to enjoy an "outdated" game. Did people making old movies want to make them in color? Probably, but their limitations forced them to be creative in ways they wouldn't have otherwise.

@frochusti @ChurchOfMoons That's not an implication, as much as it is the joke of the plotline, and Jason's whole girl-hating thing in general. Pastis also quite overstates how much he's censored, it's usually one of his meta jokes. Honestly early Foxtrot was probably more edgy or daring than Pearls is.

@ChurchOfMoons It likely IS intentional, even back then of him warding off puperty. Lots of funnies comics like Foxtrot are do implications to swerve over old people thanks to newspapers being strict for quite a while on what you can "get away with." Pearls before Swine artist mentions it a lot

oh some of these old newspaper comics have TERRIBLE implications now LMAO

@EnbyCreature999 Pokemon is just proof that you can have a great battle system but if players aren't forced to meaningfully engage with it, your game will still be boring. Imagine Nocturne if you could breeze through it without ever relying on or getting screwed by Press Turn.

I'm starting to think the reason a lot of people find turn based to be boring is because the only turn based RPG they have played is Pokémon

@comet_melting Better than the "no one asked for this game but I'm making it anyways" trend. They never believe it, and it's almost never true, but it's even worse if it is true.

every single game participating in this algorithm bandwagon is not selling their games to me at all, this ain’t the marketing you think it is l

@fumikoded Must all playground equipment be art to consider an interactive sculpture art?

You cant be lukewarm and go "i think these particular games are art". Either you think seriously about the medium and understand every videogame is a piece of art or an attempt at it regardless of quality or you just see them as products not unlike toys

@autopilotgod I'm also aware that it's intention is simply to evoke the tomboy-breaking gap moe trope, but in any case it's a questionable use of the trope for overtly framing gender non-conformity as a problem that should be fixed.

@autopilotgod It can can only be interpreted that way if you see knights and damsels as entirely platonic in her complex, which they clearly aren't if she projects the knight ideal onto the MC in a romantic context. If she was seeing men as princesses no one would find it homophobic.

The post: "The guy LITERALLY CURED HOMOSEXUALITY with healing magic" - What ACTUALLY happens: > Girl knight is fixated on old tale: knight protects princess. > She tries turning every girl into "her princess" to live it. > Boy figures out her body runs cold because of some structural/energy imbalance. > Girl brushes him off (trust issues from ex-party members). > He uses seitai magic (realignment of body/energy flow, osteopathy vibes. NOT HEALING MAGIC). > Treatment works and girl sees the boy is not just talk. > Boy casually drops a perfect Rizz line from the Tale > For the first time she feels like a princess that found a knight TL;DR, This is more like puberty than anything.... This is the most classic template of Rough girl for the first time getting in touch with her feminine side..... this is such an old trope, why people overreacting over this? lol.... So yeah... sorry... no... There is no "CURING HOMOSEXUALITY"... geez... The interaction with the princess was explained VERBATING why.... its just because she is obssessed with the story of Knight/Princess. I HAD to read it by myself after such a bizarre post. Just a quick 5 chapter read from Kinato's Magic on Mangaplus (free) and I saw its some projection bullshit... Read yourself and take your own conclusions. Besides her change in attitude is more towards her trust on him + his Rizz line than his magic ... This is just dumb

@deathbian @TaxEvadinDemSoc You think animist tribes were going around trying to debunk their myths?

@ItsNix030 @TaxEvadinDemSoc discrepancies. people, as groups, logic-check shit. more people are interested in mocking or debunking conspiracy theories than wholeheartedly accepting them. most of us challenge false connections.

i don't think people pulling the "everybody knows this" schtick in the replies and appealing to specific cultures realize how many other cultures disagree with them. this is the weirdest ethnocentric bias i've seen

@deathbian @TaxEvadinDemSoc When was the last time you saw a conspiracy theorist disregard their theories because the data didn't make sense? Heuristics are self-enforcing through cognitive bias.

@ItsNix030 @TaxEvadinDemSoc not if the phases are as culturally significant as they were, and not if it correlates so roughly that two sample results could be direct opposite over a reasonable timeframe to remember even marginally significant events.
