If people want to call me an idiot for having fun and being happy, then honestly, let me be stupid. I'd rather have "Bad takes" and enjoy life than listen to what a bunch of incels have to say.

Rest in Peace, Tomonobu Itagaki.

Rest in peace, and thank you for everything, Itagaki-san.

It has been reported that former Koei Tecmo Designer Tomonobu Itagaki passed away at the age of 58.

Extremely sad.

You know that scene in Bee Movie where Seinfeld Bee hits the window over and over saying "Maybe this time!" again and again. That's film executives with the Smurfs

What I don't get is why everyone is so sure that the general audience wants to see Smurfs. The Smurfs are lame. They should retire those blue booger people from the big screen and not TRON.

Why yes, I am still salty about that.

It's the whole reason why I prefer gameplay over graphics. I don't care about what I'm seeing. I care much more about what I'm doing with my controller.

it's infuriating that people use Jesus to defend toxic masculinity, when Jesus is a prime example of NON-toxic masculinity.

he was nonviolent, he defended women, he loved outcasts, he was compassionate and generous, he stood for justice and mercy, and he laid down his life for the people he loved.

Judging levels by themes is so outdated. It's not the background or the backdrop of the level that makes it special, it's the level-design, it's the gimmicks, it's the placement and layouts of enemies and obstacles. Boiling it down to its theme just feels disrespectful to the real technical work.

One critique of Odyssey I saw a bit over the years but never agreed with was "the kingdoms aren't that unique they're just basic mario themes"

like yeah when you reduce them to their basic theme, you indeed are left with just their basic theme

Overrated story. I won't die on this hill, I'll win.

And it's so easy to give Vivian a proper ending in the form of her striking off on her own and making new friends who treat her with the respect that she deserves. I just find it extremely insulting because my dad was very much like Beldam IRL.

It just gets more uncomfortable for me the more I think about it and ponder over the game's writing. Like this is my problem with that game's story. If you're gonna write something heavy like this, you have to commit to it and accept the consequences of it.

Vivian's identity being unconfirmed in the original is the least of that story's problems. I just fucking hate it. I was so upset when I got to the end and they arbitrarily made Beldam "Good" when she's in some cases even more depraved than Dimentio. I hate it here.

It's one of the most realistic stories in Mario but that also makes it hella infuriating at the same time. It's exactly as bad as people say that the divisive finales of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is but it gets all of these passes.

And Beldam's response to Vivian being gone is not to reflect but to actively try to kill her at numerous occasions and be proud of it. To the fact that she was the one who set up the X-Nauts in the first place and started the events of the entire game... And Vivian forgives that for some reason!?

To be entirely truthful, I kind of resent how badly Vivian's story was handled in Thousand Year Door. It's a very uncomfortable story about this honest to god sociopath who is known for lying and deceit just inexplicably decides to be good after the cavalcade of abuse I've seen.

You know, you say that and I wouldn't even be mad because the insane fans who hate women would 100% deserve it.

Jared Leto said he would like to do a Star Wars movie next.

RIP Star Wars. It was a good run.

The #Tron franchise will likely be retired from the big screen

(via THR)

Even if God and the Devil forgives Jared Leto... You can be damn sure that I never will.

Say what you want about Doug Walker but he still has a few nuggets of Wisdom from the good old days that are still infinitely evergreen.

I've been perusing some of the garbage Mario Kart World videos that people are making and it's amazing how they all boil down to pretty much this.
