I love both of you so goddamn much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I say this as someone very much guilty of having several takes like this in the past that I no longer stand by.

Soooooooo many "this game has aged poorly and is dated" takes about older games have ironically aged poorly and are themselves really dated critical talking points.

And the whole "they could find a new audience" argument doesn't really hold up for me cuz

A-If they didn't find an audience animated why would this be different?

B-Do you really want the (likely gonna be inferior) live action remake to overshadow the original like that?

Gonna have to play devil's advocate here, you can lump thr 2024 Paper Mario TTYD remake into the 'good 1%' pile.

They fixed my girl Vivian. Especially in the original Japanese release.

Modern games remakes have become the gaming equivalent of live action Disney remakes.

Hollywood’s insistence that live-action films are the only legitimate entertainment and that every other medium must circle back to them is a microcosm of American exceptionalism, in this essay I will
Treasure Planet and Atlantis are two of the most unique animated films out there, let alone from Disney's catalog. The last thing either needs are dull as dirt live action remakes that'll strip them of everything special about them for the sake of "correcting" whatever perceived flaws they have.
People say "Treasure Planet and Atlantis need live action remakes" but why does it need to be turned into a soulless, ugly, anti-art product to validate themselves?

I might change my mind on this and it may depend on what day of the week it is, but as of right now I'm gonna just say that Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently my favorite game. It's VERY close between this game and Celeste, but at the moment I feel like Silksong barely edges it out for me!

This whole administration was ordered off of Temu.
Important to do this press conference about a mass shooting from behind a comic book convention’s folding table inside the hotel from The Shining.
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

God I hate remaster/remake culture. Losing my mind at how many reviews/comments I've seen that complain about the vertex jitter in the new version of R-Type Delta.

"Wobbly polygons" are part of the charm, aesthetic, and visual identity of PS1 games.

Old games are *supposed to look old*.

Cool to hear that Zootopia 2 is good. I'm sure that it actually IS good. That said I haven't been in the mood at all to give Disney money throughout this year and that hasn't changed.

Only the second grossest director who includes a weirdly common amount of feet in his works.
Quentin Tarantino bashes ‘The Hunger Games’ for “ripping off” ‘Battle Royale’ on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast:

“I do not understand how the Japanese writer didn’t sue Suzanne Collins for every f***ing thing she owns.”
