I heard the reason the game was made to begin with because of the positive receptions people had with AC Black Flag ship gameplay. Then the game went into development hell with it constantly getting delayed and going over budget until they were forced to release the game because of international reasons. The result is what we got now and I don't see this game living for very long.

I too watched that movie quite a bit as a kid, can even remember some of the song lyrics to this day. In a bubble it isn't half-bad - the two villains and their dog were the best part of the movie (not surprising that Tony Jay's evil butler is the only thing anyone remembers about the movie via the 'we've got to have money' meme).

I still remember the songs lyrics to this day. I had such fond memories of it until I rewatched it with my nephews years ago and it absolutely did not age well lol. With that said almost all the villains in that movie was pretty damn memorable like the fat dog with the skateboard, the creepy pedo looking doctor, and the 2 villains like you mentioned. It's a guilty pleasure movie and it hold dear to my heart because it's a movie that got me through the rough times of my childhood that I will absolutely admit is just a bias on my end.

That's really good news for Amiibo collectors!

I liked it more than morbius and I wholly support them making these weird ass offshoots, but I question who is authorizing these scripts because they leave a lot to be desired.

Yeah the scripts for some of these movies have been fucking terrible. Like there are some writers that shouldn't be getting jobs if I were to be honest.

Its a common tactic. They think youre desperate to sell it and theyre already there might as well sell it to them

It is a common practice that takes advantage of those who need "cash upfront" right away. Sometimes I give in if I know the item isn't in hot demand or something. The worst of it is when they severely undersell the worth of a hot item that I had to literally laugh at their face and walk away from them.

I cant believe Amiibo hype has lasted over a decade now. Its outlived beanie babies by far at this point

The amiibo hype that existed since day 1 isn't there anymore, but it still has a lot of collectors. Beanie babies still have some hardcore collectors as well, granted most of them are older women but they exist.

You know they didn't lol.

Yeah you're right lol.

Hopefully they made enough so it won't get scalped.

Tom and Jerry, which sucks because that particular movie played a huge role in my childhood.

Channel Awesome was a network for "content creators" run by The Nostalgia Critic and his friends.

Before Youtuber became a common legitimate career option, it was a platform for content creators to band together. Spoony, Linkara, Ross Scott, Cinema Snob, Guru Larry etc.

As time went on Channel Awesome became increasingly irrelevant as Youtube modernized.

Then there was a huge "Change the Channel" controversy where it was revealed that the guys running Channel Awesome were childish douchebags who were mean to everyone and made everyone miserable..

The bad press + irrelevancy caused pretty much everyone to leave and it became a running gag amongst Guru Larry fans that he wasn't leaving and he would be the last man standing.

The Joke being that Larry was one of the least important creators on the site throughout its tenure. Didn't really have any connection to the controversy and just kept doing his thing.

It's one of those "It's actually kinda funny if you know the context" but not easy to explain why it's funny if you know nothing about Channel AWesome or those involved

Thanks for the context!

Anyone here who bought the game, who wouldnt have if they knew this was getting patched in?

I thought too highly of Harada with my cope that this wouldn't be the case lol.

I recognize that the character customization is a major pain in the ass to get working but it would be in bad taste, like they did in SC6, to resell old customizable parts from Tekken 7 back to you in Tekken 8. But I know this will happen sadly.

BakonBitz posted...

Really not a fan of this trend, tbh. I was praising Tekken 8 for not being littered with cosmetic microtransactions, where SF6 and MK1 have it in droves.

I guess this is their response to people wanting some more customization options. I just hope it's not price-gougey.

Yeah, the $15 TMNT outfits for your Avatar in SF6 was ridiculous. The $10 OG Burning Skull Scorpion skin in MK1 was also pretty bad as well. If Tekken 8 at minimum can be at a reasonable price range I don't think anyone would be so against this. We've seen fighting game devs take advantage of this shit though.

It's really weird how people default to "hurr durr you just wanna masturbate to cartoons"
No? Maybe some people do but most people in general enjoy looking at attractive characteristics. Especially in fictional media where you can idealize characters.

There's such a strange sex-negative wave that's going through most media in recent times, sometimes it's overt and other times it's minor things like the OP example where they just reduce or remove such things. Where it gets weird is that there's also a push to be more open and accepting about sex in general, usually by the same people that decry sexualized characters.

I truly don't understand it.

I'm not gonna deny there are "puritans/prudes" that hate anything sexy or attractive to the "male gaze" that are very prevelant in our entertainment industry. I work in it in Los Angeles and some are pretty open about their agenda. But on the other side of the spectrum, you also have the "horny bridgade" that will call anything woke/esg/tumblr whales when there's a female character that doesn't look like an anime waifu or a super model with TnA. In this particular pics case, there is an agenda because in the original Xmen cartoon there are more frames of Rogue looking like the right pic with the left pic being a rarity in the show. Not to mention the right pic being zoomed in and we tend to know, on average, distance shots tend not to be as detailed than closed up shots to begin with.

Dungeater posted...

i bet there are a million more frames in the old series that look like the right than there are that look like the left

the right is pulled from what, a minute of footage of a bunch of different xmen?

how does this not occur to u ppl

It's all about the agenda. I actually watched the old cartoons and the left side of the pic is more of a rarity in the show.

Now I get there are some "puritans/prudes" that hate anything the sexualizes women for the "male gaze" but on the other end of the spectrum you have the horny brigade that will call anything woke because a female character doesn't look like a super model waifu with TnA. It's best to call out disingenuous shit like this when it happens.

As a short guy myself "5'6" that does hang around other short guys most of us aren't "overly aggressive", in fact most of us are like normal people...we mind our own business. The ones that are "overly aggressive" are because their personality. With that said, I have met 1 or 2 of them with a case of Napoleon Complex and many of that comes from society openly making fun of short guys...a feature none of us have any control over. It's more perfectly acceptable to make fun of short guys, even to their face than making fun of a girl who is fat. I used to be fairly passive aggressive about my height in my highschool and early college years, but it was something I grew out of (metaphorically) as I matured and starting living in the real world.

It's a decent flick that's all about finding fulfillment and raises interesting points about porn, but I can't help but feel the movie was just an excuse for him to dry hump Scarlet Johansson lol.

It's Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled again. Adding in a dlc storefront the moment reviews for the games are out. Harada is honestly lucky that Tekken 8 is a solid game, but this is a scummy move.

Ever since Covid lockdown, but never had to use it again since.

Not really sure that Switch wins on online functionality compared to basically a PC... however it does win on price, as well as battery life. If those two things aren't a concern, there's no reason to get a Switch instead of a Deck (or other handheld PC).

I'm talking about a very specific thing you do on the steam deck when it comes to online functionality. But yeah you are right about battery life as well but it's also dependent on the games you play. Even certain games on the Switch make it die out really quickly like TotK.

I'll take this stuff with a grain of salt, but we are in about in due time for a new hardware.

Only 4 episodes? Bruh

It's part 2 of Season 2. Season 1 was also 8 episodes as well. They were still animating scenes while Season 2 part 1 was released.

Does anyone actually remember watching Xmen 97? Majority of the time Rogue's butt looked more like the right pic than the left one. The left pic was more of a rarity in the show. Plus right pic is a zoomed in shot from a scene in the trailer. This is a case of picking and choosing what agenda they want to shove at your face and most of you fell for it.

I forget what it's actually called, but it's probably because it was "traced" from this scene of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Kangaroo Jack was the movie that taught me that marketing could be misleading

That movie fucking pissed me off as a kid. I begged my dad to go to the theaters with me to watch it and the entire time I was asking my dad "when does the kangaroo actually talk?".

All of the above, hilariously enough.

EDIT: just saw your spoiler lol

The stunt work was pretty impressive and the soundtrack was killer, otherwise it was just a bleh movie. Leaned too hard into the romance and the only funny part in the movie is literally in the trailers. I think it's one of Edgar Wright's weakest movie.

The original series wasn't a paragon of animation or anything but like.

3D that they try to make look 90s hand-draw to a budget is even worse than the real thing.

This shit is nostalgia bait, I'll pass.

It looks like a mix of CGI and hand drawn animation, but I get what you mean.

Yeah, same as with the filmmakers' other movie Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves. That one did even worse at the box office, but has had persistently high streaming numbers.

It's such a damn shame it bombed at the box office because that movie was legitimatedly good and funny. I had a friend who plays a lot of tabletop RPG's like DnD and he said the movie absolutely nailed the spirit of TableTop RPGS like to be fighting against the Dungeon Master with semantics.

A similar movie is Tag. Its pretty good

I found Tag to be funnier than Game Night, but Game Night is stil the "better" movie imo if that makes sense.

Yeah I expected it to be funnier, but it's still a decent flick though.

There's only two things that the Switch has going for it in comparison, online functionality and price point. Even the OLED is cheaper than the cheapest version of the Steam Deck. Online functionality is possible, but only for certain games and you need to do seperate set ups for it which only feels worth it if you're really into those specific agmes.

Doing a certain thing with the Steam Deck effectively makes the Switch obsolete...

To be fair on the digital copies, most of them was only a feature on Funimation if you bought the physical copy of the series so it's not like you're losing access to the series.

With that said, it still poses the hard reality that digital only items means you never really own the item and at any point or discretion they can take it away from you. There should absolutely be outrage when it comes to things like this.

Quezovercoatl posted...

It's not actually a price increase, they're just getting rid of the cheaper price for old Funimation accounts.

https://www.themarysue.com/crunchyroll-price-increase-explained/

They had some old deal price and are just getting the current Crunchyroll one

So much bad info about this. The price is like 8.99 and staying that way, it's not going up to 20 bucks a month.

Oh, now that makes more sense. It's just going to the original Crunchyroll price instead of the cheaper Funimation price. But in a sense, the original Funimation subscribers are still paying for a higher subscription fee once they transfer over to Crunchyroll which still sucks.

Not fair to compare Costco prices to mom and pops restaurants. Costco sells some items like the chicken rotisserie at cost or even at a loss cause its one of the items they use to lure people into the store. Also its subsidized by the memberships.

This, by comparison any fast food joint you eat will never beat Costco prices in terms of money and value. The only thing fast food joints can do quicker is cooking the food faster than you having to cook them yourself. This topic was made in such bad faith.

Is that dork Cyclops seriously the leader now? lmao

Also the animation looks awful.

To be fair, the animation in the original cartoon was nothing to write home about either, but still impressive for its time.

Her performance seems pretty divisive. I'll probably end up liking it.

You'll probably like it if you watched any movie she's in and liked her performance. It just took me out of the movie anytime she spoke.

Yeah don't get me wrong, X (Twitter) is still garbage fire trash that I'm glad I deactivated my account on. The community notes though have been consistent though when it comes to catching fake news.

Perri Nemiroff's somewhat positive review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pibn3wTebfk

Gave it a 2.5 but enjoyed herself.

She liked liked the chemistry, was charmed by the cheesiness and Dakota Johnson, and loved the Final Destination vibes despite being "riddled with problems"

I'm so glad the Final Destination vibes are there. That's really all I wanted. I'll definitely be buying Madame Web on 4K when it comes out.

I can understand the stuff she likes, but Dakota Johnson was clearly the worst thing about the movie and the worst part was she was in like 90% of the movie. Any scenes that didn't include her were instantly better. She doesn't have any range with her delivery and she does the same face majority of the movie. She was severely miscasted.
