“Humanize them, emotionally connect with them”

… Motherfucker, it’s a Yautja. I don’t want to emotionally resonate with him, I want to see him pointed at something just as dangerous and 10 times as ugly. I want an hour and a half of a hunt that ends with a head sliced off and mounted to a wall.

Looks like they’re at least they’re blaming themselves on this one, from what it sounds like. A lack of marketing, and failure to generate buzz.

I’d love that, but a part of me is worried about Second Son feeling clunky in sections from having to either translate the motion and touchpad controls to another controller or keyboard, or they’d have to cut the interactive bits into animations.

Yeah, what the fuck?

A plain is mostly grasses. Meadows, fields, and battlefields have flowers.

And love can bloom on them.

Remember Alf?

He’s back! In wizard form!

When you encounter things like this, God has abandoned you.

Fire hasn’t, though. Fire has no fickle loyalties. All can burn.

Well, given how things have went with YGO…

Yeah. Yeah, pretty damn evil. Fuck your Turn 1 Floodgates.

We will do it to anything.

If it exists, we will find a way to anthropomorphize it. And potentially make that one of our new gods. We can’t even blame the internet.

Bring together the Old Faith and the New.

Well, unless he’s insanely strong, he did it with weapons sized for him, or is a master poisoner.

Both are equally impressive achievements for his physical limitations, in that Genghis Khan sorta way.

Well, he looks quite pleased about it. Probably takes a lot for a caterpillar to reach the rank of Emperor.

I’m kinda terrified of an Oppenheimer beyblade.

Those things are already kinda scary, if they get up to the right speeds. Probably won’t break a bone, but some of them shoot out of that arena damn quick, and some can get heavy as hell for a spinning top toy. Pretty durable, too.

They creeped me out as a kid. It didn’t help that I had this concept that they were like “evil” butterflies. Child brain hardcore taking my grandmother’s complaining about moths eating clothes and being a nuisance too far.

Absolutely adore them, now. Go ahead and enjoy some lamp, little friend, you’ve earned it.

Okay, but a 101 Dalmatians strategy game would be fuckin’ dope.

One side focused on growth through pulling neutral parties to their side(a Dalmatian in every home) vs growth through exploitation of those neutral parties and the Dalmatians, taking Dalmatian territory(and population) as resources.

But if we’re going Soulsborn, we need to go into the deep archives. Redeem The Black Cauldron, Disney. This is the only way. Make right what was wronged.

"As you pull the blade free, it begins to rapidly rust away. The legend was never the blade itself, it was the strength of the heroes who led the way.

That strength has caused the ground to shift, rocks fall, everyone dies."

So long as you know you aren’t dealing with an expert, confidence in your nonsense will get you impressively far.

The skill timing concept was novel, at least. Gave you something in combat besides menuing and watching things play out, alongside the timed block.

Though I wish they just hadn’t with some of the voiced bits. I still hear that “Blagg Monstaar” Dart let rip during one of the exposition dumps in my head.

I wonder if there’s some kind of near-surface pipes they might hear water running through.

Yes! This is a comb jelly. They lack stingers.

From what I’ve found on Wikipedia, it looks like they’ve moved more into other electronics, but still make plug-and-plays of the Master System and Genesis that have remained decently popular.

They’re also the company behind the Zeebo, which was a legendary mess of a console that has had somewhat of a second life from internet acclaim.
