RoboFist 3.0 : You Can [Not] Be Relevant Again

Former "local culture anthropologist" crawling back to social media for the first time in three years, pitifully seeking validation from strangers by yapping into the abyss.
Pinned
Last year was bad on my end, and this year isn't shaping up to be great for anyone.

I've seen people arguing in favor of replacing doomscrolling with positive hobbies, so I'm once again chronicling the games I beat this year in this thread.

Longer reviews for games will be in the alt text.
I forgot how reactionary and antagonistic redditors are about everything.

Lessons learned.

By the way, making my claim now:

This is Trevor.

This is Trevor Belmont's CURSE.

That's why he can use the Cross. And I bet that gold rope around his left arm is the Morning Star.

This is why someone as strong and faithful as Trevor allows his child to go fight demons in his stead.

The art style was pretty jarring at first, but it grew on me quickly. Some of these redesigns are absolute bangers. I'm like losing my mind over this interpretation of Medusa.

I HAD A LAPSE OF FAITH AND I FEEL FOOLISH, BUT PRAISE BE! 🧛‍♂️🦇🍖🎸

It looks so clean. I love the speed and fluidity, giving me big Lost Crown vibes. And that art style?? Man...

Just reveal the protag's name to be Sonia and Castlevania has its own Dread-style comeback.

My three favorite video game franchises of all time are celebrating their 40th(!!!) anniversaries this year.

SE has already teased a big celebratory extravaganza for Dragon Quest. Nintendo MIGHT tease us with something Metroid-related, but probably nothing big.

And then there's Castlevania.

Illumination is trying their absolute damnedest to make a Rosalina fan outta me, aren't they?

This year marks the 40th anniversary of some of my favorite franchises, including Ganbare Goemon...

...and Konami refuses to give us the only celebration that IP will even get.

Damn shame. Would've LOVED to see Seikushi Dynamites Arawaru localized.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

MYSTERIOUS MURASAME CASTLE NSO ICONS!

Nintendo of America wants YOU to play this game!

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend the rest of my night hypothesizing what this could mean for the future of the IP...

The fascinating thing about the Metroid IP is that Nintendo didn't and doesn't need to pursue it the way it has. It's never sold particularly well, it's not popular in Japan, and compared to its other first-party franchises it's not really marketable.

And yet, Nintendo CHOSE Metroid. Why?

This seems to be the most common Changeables everyone is getting. Pretty boring at first.

But I do think it's funny how he looks like a generic dinosaur that just got stuck in a playplace.

Great Scott...yeah, it's night and day, isn't it? Like not even close.

I remember being baffled by the Cuusoo version even back when I was blinded by joy of an official BttF set existing, but yeah it REALLY hasn't aged well at all.

Re: The Ice Climbers being in Melee.

You either die dreaming of your childhood meow-meows being added, or live long enough to see them become the Ice Climbers.

Finally found it.

I've needed a win for a while now, so hopefully this will be a really fun distraction. I can't wait to see how it compares to LEGO's previous two attempts.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

Sounds like the Metroid Prime franchise is still in great hands. Excited to see her resume blossom.
With Tanabe retiring - who actually is Risa Tabata?

I've never felt the Switch's lack of D-pad until Game & Watch Gallery 3 hit NSO.

Only 1,125 on Hard Modern Egg?? Disgraceful. Never would've happened on OG hardware.

I'm not a fan of contrarians.

Felt the need to say that before admitting to the void that I think Tooie is better than Kazooie and it's not even close.

And I want this art blown up and framed in my future foyer or over my future mantle on my future fireplace.
25 years since we released Banjo-Tooie! Have a boss-montage. Bosses are always the most fun to make. See how big and strong Mr Patch is!

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

There's a reason Mario, a surface-level plain character, rose above other mascots to become the most iconic game character in the world.

Mario is a manifestation of the joy of the player. Mario has just as much fun being Mario as the player does. It's a two-way relationship via the language of joy.

Remember that the Closing of the American Internet didn't start with YouTube.

It started with Pornhub. You just believed them when they said it would stop there.
YouTube to begin testing a new AI-powered age verification system in the U.S.
YouTube's launch comes despite concerns on age verification infringing on personal privacy and violating First Amendment protections on free speech.

The Jim Henson x General Mills Monster Cereal Muppet collab bowls arrived this morning! It would've been a Halloween miracle!

...but Count Chocula didn't make it...

I didn't know they were ceramic! Looks like Franken and Boo are chilling with the good china until a new Count gets here.
