Whatever its perceived problems, it's a joke to assume RTD2 is either a rehash of 1970-1989 Doctor Who or of 2005-2010 Doctor Who.

Big Nintendo fan, but the only Metroid I've played past the early areas is Zero Mission and Prime Hunters. And I think I finished Zero Mission this year.

Saw the third film of the 2017 Jumanji reboot/revival get called Jumanji 4, and ...I mean, I guess?

I don't think this discourse was ever about "puriteens" moving to the far right except as an excuse tbh. Especially considering the New York Post is hardly a liberal or leftist paper.

The scenes between Judomaster and Adebayo on this week's PEACEMAKER were damned good to see. Two queer people of color hanging out in a big-budget superhero show, playing Scrobble (sic), talking through stuff like adults.

Wasn't it a few months ago that this site was reminisicing about niche forum and Something Awful style moderation being the way to go, particularly wrt stopping bigots? And now Jay Graber is at acting similarly and people are going "wait a minute, this is shit! Why are we repeating history?"

How *some* Nintendo and Banjo-Kazooie dislikers on here sound: "Sorry, you can't possibly like The Thing, Scott Pilgrim, or Blade Runner, those are commercially underperforming cult movies that some YouTuber must have told you to like. Or you were 12 years old back then."

I remember this topic coming up when Yooka-Laylee came out, with people saying Banjo would have received the same reception today because Yooka-Laylee is designed in a similar way by the same team. Which may be true to a degree, but people were also too harsh on Yooka-Laylee IMO.

banjo became part of the n64's identity in a way similarly selling ps1 games didn't because of how much wider the ps1 market was

the outsized presence because of youtubers argument always made me chuckle a bit. "you only think this thing is well remembered because people liked it and talked about it fondly" yeah genius that's how culture works.

"Banjo Kazooie only sold 3 million units" is correct and like, part of discussing its outsized presence in nintendo youtuber perceptions of video game history, sure, but also that still meant it was in the top 10 sales of all N64 titles

F1 races should have proximity voice chat

It’s kinda interesting how it evolved into “Nintendo only fans have bad taste” to “anyone that really likes banjo is a xenophobe”

i feel like it's been fairly popular to say Banjo sucks as a "gotcha" towards a vague "Nintendo YouTubers" (they usually mean exclusively Dunkey and Scott the Woz. and JonTron but JonTron's also racist so im not really gonna focus on him.)

not a fan of how people overcorrected on a lot of the things synonymous with Nintendo YouTubers (i.e. the idea that Mario 64 actually had very little impact on the 3D platformer, Banjo being irrelevant garbage). i don't like the western skew with online VG history either but it's gotten a bit absurd

The main other person I can think of from this decade that's a massive Banjo fan on YouTube is like...a Japanese vtuber.

Jesus fuck. I saw Hatok give some weird nitpicking in the Zelda tags before lately, but "Nintendo fans have fascist vibes" is a massive block from me. And I'm a Nintendo player who doesn't like Nintendo fans that much.

Shocking revelation to some people apparently unaware of this, but you can in fact separately condemn two atrocities in two different countries without feeling obliged to try to compare or connect them.

"social media is the best way of finding a significant other"

"Yelena in Thunderbolts* is just a woman doing emotional labour for a man" nah

grunty industries remains to this day a top 5 zelda dungeon

Oh thank God. Episode 7 was great but it just shot by.

Hate to be right about this stuff so often

GUY WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM DOING THE JABBA'S PALACE COMEDY FESTIVAL: You know, I gotta say they're really great in there, they're just like us. I thought it was only gonna be women in chains and a trapdoor monster they feed slaves to but like, they also have a band that plays cool music.

I think it's fair to suggest that anyone claiming that a British city established by the Romans specifically for access by ship, and that eventually became the hub of a global empire, has recently become "multicultural" is talking bollocks.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

The word slop is banned. You’ve used it too irresponsibly. I’m taking it away. It’s going on top of the fridge.

Peacemaker season 2 was written in late 2023/early 2024 (and James Gunn almost never reshoots or overruns his projects), so I think the Dot and Bubble comparisons were serendipity more than anything. Probably also Trump already being president from 2017-2021.

"Universe" studio vanity plates (Dreamworks, Ryu Ga Gotoku, MCU, etc) should just have DC's one with Superman breaking those chains but swapping out Superman with the relevant protagonist.

Sees a post about Joker having two names .....neither of these are Jack Napier or Arthur Fleck. Ohh, it's a Persona thing.

[Gets pulled over by police] Me: *Hands cop a Taskmaster task envelope* Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over? Me: All the information is in the task. Cop: (reads aloud) please read the following phrase out loud, "You are free to go". Me: *speeds off*

Once again, neither Nintendo or Ambit made up the Zelda timeline for one book in the 2010s. There's an interview nearly 25 years ago where Aonuma talks about Ocarina of Time technically having two endings and one leading into Wind Waker.

So was *The Sun* ‘inciting violence’ against Nigel Farage in 2014 when its editorial described his racist comments on my show as ‘racism, pure and simple’? And would somebody who interviews these ghouls on a regular basis at least ask them this question!

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

friendly reminder that you can make yourself remember alt text on photos by updating your settings! i try really hard to always use them and to share photos that only have alt text for our lovely screen reader friends. yes its seems tedious at first BUT you can make it fun! be inclusive friends!

rip Jane Goodall

I showed my mom umamusume like look at this game mom its like horseracing but theyr girls and my mom was like clara this exists in real life its called running

King Kong is a movie about how your skills as a film director don't necessarily translate to success on Broadway

As someone who's hardly the biggest series 11 defender, the Jodie Whittaker Doctor Who is not magically separate and locked off from Chris Chibnall's scripts and storylines or vice versa. I thought her scene in The Reality War was great, but I fucking HATE the "finally GOOD writing for her" takes.

As if it wasn't enough to call hair implants and botox "gender affirming care", now I'm seeing people wokely and pro-trans-ly.....comparing being trans to alcoholism and likening ethanol to hormone replacement therapy???

According to Wikipedia, facial models based on the voice cast have been the case since THREE YEARS into the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. In the mainline series this means it first happened in ......(checks notes) Yakuza 3. The fuck is this nontroversy?

The existence of xenophobia, terrorism, and war is not something unique or uniquely bad to 2002. I'm sorry that I nostalgically played Zelda the following year without marching on the streets against the Iraq War. (No hate to school aged folks who DID do that, mind you, fuck Bush and Blair.)

"Final Fantasy before the sci-fi elements started creeping in" The strongest enemy in Final Fantasy (1987)- even stronger than the final boss Chaos- was a fully automated death robot you can find in the orbital space station you go to.

"Oh you're sniping at the comedians doing the Riyadh comedy fest? You think the US is any better?" I also wouldn't accept a gig paid for by the US government where they get me to sign a contract promising I won't cunt em off but ok.

Out of interest: Do top Democrats still oppose abolishing ICE? Still think it can be ‘reformed’?

First poster for ‘The Simpsons Movie 2’ 🍩 In theaters July 23, 2027

Real people cannot "queer bait" the way authors of fiction do. Of course the most famous example of queer baiting in fiction is just people upset that a ship THE WRITERS DENIED wasn't canon. And also some conspiracy theory about a nonexisting 14th Sherlock episode also not the writers' fault.

The actors, including Marge, are choosing to record new episodes and movies and renew contracts btw. If they wanted to retire they'd follow Pamela Hayden's lead.
