So it might be a combination of the Misk foundation pouring money into SNK to try and make it a household name and thus promoting the economic power of Saudi Arabia has on the rest of the world AND of SNK getting overt ambitions every time they have money to burn

SNK's biggest curse has always been that they can't be happy just being a mid level company with a small but dedicated fanbase. KOF XIV sold about half a million in its first year and SNK said "Oh this was a big hit, one of our best financial years." But the alure of "the bag" was always too much

Oh look it's @jon.gvg.io's video about how remakes don't replace the originals

I wonder why it's here

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Who the heck would pay money for an 8/10?

8/10 can and has been treated as an insult in the past!

Always intriguing to see people in my mentions claiming reviews are wrong and a game they haven't played doesn't deserve the scores that are being given

Even to go so far as to claim reviews were paid for.

People are exhausting.

Another Picrew OC, but I drew her wigs

She’s a Silky named Síne. I looked up Scottish names that stated with S and liked that one the most

Although Silky don’t have wings, I like fairy wings so I included them

I don’t know if there’s more than one Silky, but I’m sticking to the concept

i understand that linguistic drift is an inevitability, bit itll always frustrate my 2000s otaku heart to see Filler go from "anime-only content created to fill time so the manga can pull ahead again" to "any part of any fictional story that does not readoly advance the plot"

My point isn't even "this looks bad too"
its that this is a texture you wouldn't look at because its not important. And no one playing the game right now is.

But if this was a pokemon game and this screenshot hit? people would RIOT.
And that's so dumb.

If this was in a pokemon game, there would be six different 10k response long reddit threads about how LAZY the Pokemon Company has become and that there's NO EXCUSE for a game to release like this.

I hate to say it, but ya'll need to go easier on Pokemon already.

OCTober Day 14: Butterfly Girl

When I told my sister about this challenge, she reminded me I made this character for her when I was little. I don't remember doing so, so this is basically a rebooted take on her

#Art #ArtChallenge #OC #OriginalCharacter #OC_tober

Butterfly Girl. A young Mexican girl with brown hair and a suit with a whitish top and blackish bottom, and blueish shoes.

She's wielding a whip and flower canon

She has blue butterfly wings with black stripes, which is inspired by the Mexican Kite Swallowtail

Marie Viento once helped the Magician after she punched out Kabuto, the samurai and beetle themed criminal who tried to steal the Magician’s flowers, right on stage. To make sure she could further defend herself, the Magician tossed her a green blanket, and told her to wrap it around herself. And she metamorphosed into a Butterfly Girl.

She can fly on butterfly wings, and has high stamina, and can fly as fast as a skipper, but with the stamina of a Monarch. She has spectral compound eyes on the sides of her head, giving her great vision. The transformation also gave her Flower Canon that shoots pollen and nectar, and a Proboscis Whip.
She faces off against many villains, such as Ant Queen, Orb Weaver, Cuckoo Changeling, and Wasp Woman.
She’s also Victor Viento’s little sister. She’s also a superhero, but neither sibling is aware of the other’s heroics, or even that the other superhero even exists.

today's coworker had kindergarteners watch 15 minutes of kingdom hearts cutscenes bc she typed in "toy story 3 full movie". she cleaned the entire classroom with no reaction to sora being on the tv and only switched it once she was done. which was also right after the word 'xehanort' was said
