I may just be biased cuz I’m loving the game itself, but I do think the cover for the new Star Fox is genuinely one of my favorites ever. Shoutout to the Epic Mickey Rebrushed Steelbook too tho. Genuinely perfect imho.
Oy @microsoft.com! Your customer service sucks balls! I've been working in phone and email customer service for the last 6 years and you would sooner catch me dead than share a response like this. I know for a fact there's more you can do. Get @ohitssmush.bsky.social his account back!!!
Listen, I couuuuuld choose a well known, respected and beloved character that I really want in the game… But I kinda want the blorbos I love and next to nobody else do in the game instead. Gimme Swordsman No. 8 and PUCK in Smash babyyyyyy!!!!
Hey it’s #ShadowLabyrinth ‘s first anniversary!!!! What a special little game. I know a lot of people didn’t vibe with it, but it’s one of those things that’s gonna remain special and one of my favorites for a long time to come. I hope some day people can see it the same way I do. #ConsumeDarkness
Also Katt Monroe’s redesign is literally the best she has ever looked and I love it. She went from “GirlTM” to “Girlfailure” and it’s sooooooo good. It adds so much and matches her backstory so much better. If anything, I wish they had gone wilder with some of the rest of the cast.
I still really like the Star Fox redesigns ngl. Are they weird? Yeah. But they also oddly fit and make the game feel so unique. It’s such a risky take from Nintendo that I wouldn’t have expected, but it feels so natural once you’re actually playing the game. I’ve grown to love all of them!
Between the MCU and Xbox, Blade just continues to be the epitome of this image.
Toy Story - 1995 When people talk about a perfect first movie, Toy Story needs to be in there everytime. Fundamentally just a perfect script with some of the most compelling character arcs ever. The animation quirks give a charm that is impossible to recreate today. Completely timeless!
I'm doing a small marathon of Toy Story movies ahead of watching the new one. I'll share my thoughts on this thread. I'm doing all the movies (including both of the Spin-Off Buzz movies, much to my delight and subsequent chagrin) and short films. No shows or other complementary media tho.
Anyone know the name/socials of this awesome Mikaela cosplayer who came up to ask a question in the Artist Panel?
While we're at it, Star Fox Guard (2016) This is a tech demo. While technically an interesting usage of the Wii U hardware, it's so unambitious and uninteresting that there's no reason to ever boot it up after you've played it for 5 minutes. I don't hate it, but I felt nothing playing it Frog pog
Star Fox Zero (2016) Honestly, better than I expected? I'm shocked too, but it wasn't too bad. It's kind of mediocre and the safest Star Fox game ever, but I can't call it bad or be upset about it. It's a game that doesn't understand its predecessors, yet works as a serviceable new installment.
-INTERMISSION- Star Fox Zero - The Battle Begins (2016) Man this was just cool. As a brief retelling of the first mission of Zero it's very successful, and has some stellar action courtesy of the stellar Production IG and WIT Studios and a clever, if simple, script leaving hints for the game.
Star Fox Command (2006) Again an odd control scheme kills the fun for this one. While it's not too different from KI:U, having it in All-Range mode constantly is a pain. Story wise it also feels so mean spirited towards everyone but Slippy. Poor Krystal gets it ROUGH in particular.
Since they didn’t reply to it here, I just wanna share the response @velanstudios.bsky.social gave on the other site cuz it’s just heartwarming to see these two studios sharing their love for Fox and crew and each other’s work.
Well a promise is a promise is a promise. I’m gonna do Assault this week and call it there for the Star Fox retrospective. And then I’m starting Remake back up immediately afterwards.
They will never get me to hate this show, man. The TADC finale was absolutely stellar. I loved every bit of it so so much. I can’t believe this was considered controversial, I thought it was a perfect, if a bit scattered, finale to TADC. No spoilers though! I can’t wait for y’all to see it!!!
All the characters do, honestly. I mean, look at what they did to my boy Murfy vs. how he looked in the original! It looks AI generated honestly.
I haven't really shared much of my Tomodachi Life progress recently on here, but I have been continuing to play it every day since it came out (Save for a stretch of 3 days where I was too busy). I recently made Mary and Clark from the #Backrooms movie too! And that spot below Clark is his house!
It was a reference to this panel from The Dark Knight Returns, which is often used when talking about AI.
Man, this may just make me rewatch the awful Slender Man movie. I still maintain that the coolest part about that movie was the concept art, which is very sad cuz all the cool ideas in it just didn't manifest at all in the movie.
-INTERLUDE- Star Fox 64 3D (2011) I decided to do this one now since it isn’t too different from 64 and I could use a quick win. Yeah, this sure is 64 on the 3DS lmao. The voices are not as good, it felt much easier but it’s still one of the best of the best. 64 is still better, but 3D still rocks
