feel like posting this on a tall person forum wiht the caption "The first victim of the hobbits shrinking beam. Big Short won't be satisfied until everyone is as small as they are. We gotta stand TALL for each other bros"

maybe the funniest unexpected thing about Kirby Air Riders is that it somehow became the actual inheritor of online lobby-based multiplayer where you can mess around with weird game modes with your homies

I sometimes worry that Air Riders might be the ultimate manifestation of games as a overstimulating brain melter. You grab a quick five minutes of Stuff Happening Constantly and then jump right into another and then 12 hours have passed. It's like they took Air Ride and refined it into a hard drug

Yeah the relatively low emphasis on gliding in Top Ride really does amplifies Rocky's strengths... by the same token, he's less effective in Air Ride and probably will not be accessing the secret islands in City Trial unless you really work hard. musings from a Rocky main

Not to mindlessly glaze Nintendo but you gotta hand it to them for prioritizing a steady 60fps (on the fucking N64) for F-Zero X. All of our dumbass caveman brains in 1998 saying "duhhh why do all the cars and courses look like ass 🥴" while the sages at EAD patiently attempted to uplift us

It's probably something beyond fun or enjoyment, it's just a natural response to living in the same universe as other human beings. So I think, why try and avoid it! I'd like to learn how to speak not just efficiently in Japanese and Spanish, but poetically too!

But, I don't think anyone who speaks any language for a while ever stays with the "just a tool" mentality for long... People love to express themselves, and I think the more words and grammar someone learns, the more that person defines their personality through their words.

I think there's some understandable resentment around English due how to how necessary it seems in order to secure opportunities or interact with pop culture. If someone ever wants their relationship to English to be "just a tool", I totally get it.

😆 That might be it! They also seem easy for English commentators to say quickly. (Of course, there are all sorts of philosophical reasons as to why a handle shouldn't solely be chosen to appeal to English commentators. But, I think most people appreciate short names in high-speed talking situations)

I like how "Hasupon" sounds (By the way, isn't "pon" supposed to be a cute sound in Japanese?).

However, with "Hasupo", the reader reaches the end of the word slightly faster, so it may subconsciously appeal more to speedrunners.

I'll try and be awake at that time!

years ago I remember thinking Splatoon was kiddie game shit and being kind of surprised when I noticed they got an extremely well maintained, non-fandom, non-fextralife community wiki. Nearly always the first clue that you are about a zone that will smoke your ass if you are Unserious

I wonder if she'd be allowed to post her old songs on youtube. Kinuyo Yamashita did that, though it's possible she had to specifically request permission. The legal world is an endless maze...

(this is definitely not just an excuse for me to post more Mega Man X music! What are you talking about!)

Ah, that's probably it. Thinking about it a bit more, it's probably because the video is technically an advertisement for the music academy itself, isn't it? I bet that's technically enough to threaten legal action. I hope Capcom isn't that litigious, but yeah- probably worth it to avoid the risk. 🙃

It seems I've gone on another absurd rant. I'll try to limit myself to one per month.

えっと、とにかく。話を元に戻しましょう。なぜ私がイライラしたかって?彼女のデモリールにX2の曲が一切入ってなかったから!というか、彼女のゲーム音楽が全く入ってなかった!作曲家ってなんでスーパーファミコン時代を恥じているんだろう!せめて「Bubble Crab」くらい入れてほしかった。あのステージの憂鬱な夕焼けの背景を完璧に表現した素晴らしい曲… あるいは「Overdrive Ostrich」の野性的なステージBGMとか!

(ちなみに、もし私が日本に住んでいて、赤ちゃんレベルの日本語を理解できたら、このコースにすぐに申し込むでしょう!でも、たとえそうだったとしても、おそらく授業中ずっとX2の曲のインスピレーションは何だったのか聞いてしまうでしょう。「今日、見知らぬ外国人の男性が6時間もX2について聞いてきたんです。なんて変わった人なんだろう」)

最近、私を不当に苛立たせた出来事があります。ロックマンX1~3の作曲家についてもっと知りたいと思っていたところ、X2の唯一の作曲家である、非常に才能のある岩井勇気氏のYouTubeビデオを偶然見つけたのです。

これはおそらく現代のメディアシーンの多くで繰り返されるテーマだと思いますが、ロックマンはノスタルジアのせいで過去に縛られているように感じます。ロックマンX1~3は私にとってずっと憧れの存在でしたが、発売から数十年経った今でも、さらに古い作品に取って代わられてしまうようです。ロックマンXの最初の3作品の音楽は本当に素晴らしいです…
