I wont link to it here directly but for as much as I dislike Colin Moriarty it is at least somewhat cathartic to at see Smash JT get made a complete fool of and expose his utter lack of knowledge on anything in the industry

I understand that oldheads who played the original 2D games were forced to engage their imagination due to the technical limitations of what was on screen, but to what degree were they imagining a livability to the graphical fidelity? Nothing about this franchise's art as it has developed throughout the decades has made it ever seem like they wanted to depict anything but a really cartoony fantasy world, a dream to some degree. At most, I can see the expectation of a Mario Kart style of graphical fidelity (which I'd say we got with New Pokemon Snap), but even then when I was neck-deep in firehopping in 8 vanilla, I never felt like I was "there" from the graphics alone. So really, what are people expecting? As a translation of the 2D art, the current 3D games work as an overall art style.

Ultimately though, what this feels more and more like is people who got older trying to demand this children's game grow up with them, and this is not an implication to not critique the games within artistic and technical merits, but rather a call to get some perspective of what the franchise actually is, what are the goals of the games are from the perspective of the company (not the artists, because they have no control,) and how you (the royal you) as a conscious adult see yourself in relation to these titles. I know embattled Pokemon fans say they hang on because they're empassioned and want to see the franchise improve, but to me that's nonsense because they, like the artists, also have no control over the franchise's direction given that they are not owners of this IP, the biggest IP on the planet I might. So what if they don't like the textures in ZA? Ishihara's feelings will not be hurt over this revelation.

Ultimately though, either the textures and performance override any potential enjoyment one may have of the other things the games have to offer or they don't. One's personal grading scale is their own and if the buildings in ZA are so ugly that one is not interested in anything else the game has to offer, then that's fine.... Just don't drop $60-$100 on it. If the franchise doesn't improve to one's standards for future titles, then move on. Nostalgia is toxic, our childhoods are not sacrosanct, and life is short. It is okay to leave franchises and find other shit to do. I left Sonic for like 15 years when I realized it's dumb for me to waste emotional labor over a mediocre product within which I have no direct influence over (and I'm stll not fully back because Frontiers was too finicky in its physics for me to ever fully let go and trust the game.) Pokemon fans could stand to learn the same.

Ultimately though.

Going against the tide and saying boxer.

Yes, if a wrestler manages to get you into an ideal hold for them, it's likely over. What I think is being overlooked though is that this is the exact scenario that boxers train against. Their fighting style allows them to maintain a much more defensive stance while being agile, meanwhile grapplers have to open themselves up to get you in a hold.

The second your vitals are exposed a good boxer is going to punish you for getting too close.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

did we get our bire approved opinion for the nazi tattoo guy yet? 

[benji]

Does fatty think the wrestler would have to do a precanned animation or something and be extra vulnerable while it completes? He's visualizing the boxer dancing all over the street dodging as the wrestler futilely lunges for special moves. This is the guy I'm supposed to trust about what's just a little random chaos?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

it's just like I'm watching a bunch of stupid assholes circling a drain of their own making because they never evolve or learn jackshit.

Im very confused about the gooning concept.
I thought its just a new term for masturbating but i visited the goon subreddit and it's full of people who want to become the girls in the porn videos.
So is gooning just a roundabout way of saying you're gay and/or trans?

Edit:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/nsfw-the-goon-squad-loneliness-porn%E2%80%99s-next-frontier-and-the-dream-of-endless-masturbation.1333657/page-2#post-146785450

Having sex requires socializing, which is incredibly difficult for some of us.

I'm not a gooner, but I just have to laugh at your post as if these guys could just go out and get sex. I think about sex every waking second and I can barely get any. We're aware sex is better. Incredibly aware. Existentially, depressingly aware.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/nsfw-the-goon-squad-loneliness-porn%E2%80%99s-next-frontier-and-the-dream-of-endless-masturbation.1333657/page-5#post-146814910

Not sure if I would classify myself as a gooner in the traditional sense, but I definitely do confess to being a porn addict of sorts. The main differences I guess would be I don't participate in group masturbation (I prefer to keep my activities strictly solo), my "cave" is actually pretty neat and isn't nearly as decked out much as others (the most I have is a vertical monitor that sits beside my main one that I use to browse during work), and I'm not really trying to reach any 'goonstate' (though I do remember experiencing something similar when I was much younger). I admit to sporadically looking at porn and masturbating a few hours each day on average. It isn't common, but I have done upwards of 5-6 hours to the point where my dick hurt for a few days after. I've also skipped interaction with family while over for the holidays and have even done it and missed out on enough sleep to coming down with a bad flu the following day.

Now during most of my time as a teen or young adult in high school, college, and my last job, I would have considered my habits normal. However, I think soon after I got my current all-remote job is when things started to get a bit crazy since again, I'm in front of my screen for most hours of the day. Now I wouldn't be straight jorkin it during work hours, but I do admit to regularly browsing during downtime (which is frequent). Thanks to how technology is these days, that temptation is just always there. Combine that with my obsessive-compulsive tendencies along with possible undiagnosed ADHD, and you have a recipe for addiction. I also have a collector's/data hoarding mindset, so I do admit to have bought a 4TB NVME just to hold my curated collection. Looking at porn has sort of become my default reaction when confronted with any slightly boring or stressful task that would force me to leave my mental comfort zone, even getting food or sleeping (believe the technical term for this is procrasturbating).

A few months ago I was at a con, sitting at a bar, and this girl comes up and we get into an admittedly pretty deep conversation about a lot of things, but then the topic of gooning somehow comes up. She asks if I was one. I tell her that I wasn't sure, but I did have an unhealthy porn addiction, so maybe it was possible. She asks why I was a gooner, and I told her it was probably because of the immediate access to porn. She sits there for a moment puzzled, "yeah I figured, but that still doesn't really answer WHY you would be one." That interaction has stuck with me since then because I still can't really come to a clear answer to that question. I know it can be a self-destructive waste of time, and potentially money, but I it's a habit I can't seem to break no matter what. I've tried a few things: practicing mindfulness, choosing specific times of the week, finding alternate activities to do instead, even trying out No Nut November just to see if I can reset my brain, but nothing ends up working permanently. No matter the short-term results, I always end up relapsing back into my old habits.

This is a whole new level of unemployed.

The amount of doubling down on someone who laughed about having Nazi iconography on them is definitely making me question some users here.

Didn't you play Hogwarts legacy?

Movies and games always have the mass monster grabbing and tossing their opponents into empty boxes or whatever. The idea that the wrestler will keep choking and immobilizing isn’t a consideration.

Exactly. If you ever needed proof if it's a white lib forum.

I can respect the quality porn librarian more than some others on the forum considering he not only actually put effort into something he loves but he openly acknowledges it was not exactly the best use of his time and indicative of potentially larger personal issues all while not blaming everyone else for society not rewarding him for it.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Going to bat for someone after it being pointed out directly to you that:
- He lied about not knowing it was a nazi tattoo
- He actively joked about it, acknowledging what it was and what it was associated with
- Openly defended others having SS tattoos
- Kept it for 20 fucking years and ONLY removed it because it could hinder his power tripping ambitions; not because of what it is and what it symbolizes.
If anyone has opened you up to posts attacking you, it's you.

You supported JK Rowling.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Maybe you are asking in good faith, but ive already answered all of these questions. Im not advocating for this dude. You dont have to think the same as me.

Admins and mods are advocating attacking me as a nazi, so I should probably stop engaging with people replying to me, because that sucks.

People can private message me if they actually want to discuss.

So if you aren't trying to support Graham Platner because you yourself are a Nazi, can you at least agree that it was a really bad idea to announce your support for Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo? Like it required you to overlook so much of his attempts to tell you that he's okay with Nazi iconography that it's easy for other people to think that you're also totally okay with Nazi iconography, and the only other alternative is that you're so goddamn naive that you think someone would actually wear that for almost their entire adult life but not really mean it, which also doesn't make you look very good?

If you're willing to admit that it's was a bad idea to defend him, can you then agree that it's a terrible idea to put Nazi iconography on your body and wear it around for nearly your entire adult life because it makes it easy for a lot of people to think that you're a Nazi, and failing that, it means that you're so fucking stupid that you think you can wear a Nazi tattoo for twenty years without thinking that it's communicating to other people that you're a Nazi?

man that's like 8 times bro typed nazi

[benji]

Was Graham Platner constantly going shirtless all his life? Why do they think other people even knew he had a tattoo? Why are they acting like they knew he had a tattoo when they were glazing him just last week?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

they need to look where the money to attack him is coming from.
