see that's why i made the reply above yours

your attempt at being cool failed

i'm deliberately not giving a fuck

one hole, two openings

yes

Here's (almost) everything I still need to watch from 1995, for reference:

Shows:

Sailor Moon SuperS - Apparently, this is just season 4 of Sailor Moon. Why is it listed as a separate show on MAL? I'll get to Sailor Moon eventually, but I probably won't consider it a 1995 show.

Tenchi Universe - I need to watch the OVA, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, first.

Magic Knight Rayearth II - Obviously, I need to watch the first Magic Knight Rayearth.

The World's Most Famous Tales - Shitty anime adaptations of fairytales Disney already did perfectly. Might not bother.

H2 - Looks kinda interesting. It's about baseball, and I didn't know they played baseball in Japan.

El Hazard: The Wanderers - Already tried and didn't like The Magnificent World, so I'm not sure about this.

Wild Knights Gulkeeva
Jura Tripper
Bonobono
Bit the Cupid
Kuma no Puutarou
Yanbo Ninbo Tonbo
Nurse Angel Ririka SOS
Sorcerer Hunters
Saint Tail
Neighborhood Story
Mojacko
Touma Kishinden Oni

Some of this stuff is so obscure, it doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.

As for movies, we have:

Elementalors
Catnapped!
Tobe! Pegasus Kokoro no Goal ni Shoot
Tokai no Butchy
Whisper of the Heart***
Red Hawk: Weapon of Death
Kazu & Yasu Hero Tanjou
Memories***
Gotou ni Naritai.
Heong-geuli Beseuteu 5

*** = i'm looking forward to these

I'm only counting original movies that don't seem to be part of a larger franchise, so things like Legend of Crystania and any DBZ movie are excluded. Movies adapted from manga alone are fine, but in general, films that are based on shows just tend to feel like glorified episodes of that show, which is not at all what I'm looking for when it comes to film.

I won't bother posting the mountain of OVAs and specials I still need to sift through.

you people have such pathetic dreams

challenger bait has been set

There's a fun little glitch in this game where you can swap color palettes with the opposite-gendered player character, e.g. having a blue color palette for the boy (rather than red) and a red color palette for the girl (rather than blue).

All you have to do is start a new game, save, reset, and then start another new game as the opposite gender that you picked previously. Then save again, only turn off the game right as it's telling you not to. When you reset and continue your last save, not only will this unlock Mystery Gift for seemingly no reason, your avatar's color palette will be that of the opposite gender.

If you want a blue Ethan, start as Kris; if you want a red Kris, start as Ethan.





The effect seems to wear off as soon as you make it to Slowpoke Well, but it's still a neat little thing. Resetting as the game is still saving is kinda scary, but I've used this glitch for years and I haven't had any problems.

Just don't do it in the middle of your playthrough, like I did just now. It'll overwrite everything you had in your PC boxes (I only had a Hoothoot, a Zubat, and an Onix, but still). I wanted to see if I could reapply the glitch even after Slowpoke Well, and you kind of can. Your character will just undergo a sex change, and they'll also be the wrong color.

Assuming there are other points in the game where the effect wears off, you could technically alternate between incorrectly-colored characters throughout the playthrough, but the whole PC destruction thing kinda makes this whole experiment a lot less appealing. That's what happens when you tamper with save files too much, I suppose.

Was that the idiot and shitty white trash rapper who overdosed on drugs

yes

CAAAAAAAAAAAW CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW

My dad found the collector's edition of Final Fantasy XIII-2 the other day, which has a nice case and the complete soundtrack which is split across three separate CDs.

it'll be a billion years before i play that game, though

And Infiltration wins from the loser's bracket, with Juri.

i play that way too

i didn't spend those nights grinding 200cc fuckery for nothing

drift drift drift, literally whenever possible and for as long as possible

let bananas hang behind you for protection, never toss them forward because they're that shitty

don't get flustered when you're hit with a barrage of items, it's part of the game and it's happening to everyone else too

if you get a mushroom, never miss an opportunity to blast through offroad paths with it for little shortcuts

My run today pretty much immediately hit a road block when I realised you can only catch Wooper at night

same, but only because i overslept

phanpy, ledyba, and teddiursa are only available in the morning and i woke up 30 minutes too late

things are popular because of a thing called "lowest common denominator" and i suggest you learn what that means

lowest common denominator popularity doesn't really last though

things that are universally popular like Breaking Bad or The Sopranos are popular because they're so good

you can cherrypick anomalistic examples but that doesn't really prove my point wrong

God of War turning into a dramatic character piece exemplifies how lacking in original ideas big game devs are today.

not sure if it's lack of ideas as much as knowing specifically what ideas "work" best

'Work' in what sense? Because I can see it working as an easy and popular way to reboot old characters , but in a narrative sense it's kind of boring and unoriginal.

Hopefully it's as effective as the new Wolfenstein games have been in doing the same thing.

in a business sense

it's boring and unoriginal, sure, but it's also a huge reward for low effort and zero risk

i'd love to believe that triple-A game devs are honest people who do it for the art, but i'm just too cynical

There's nothing wrong with miso. It's a mild taste unless highly seasoned.

uh oh SOYBOY ALERT
