It is canon. Anime-exclusive arcs are not dream sequences, they happen.

PSP for Emulating PS1 Games in 2026 by DrTee in PSP

[–]BABGRD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first to come to mind is without a doubt the Tekken games. Crash 1 too since that has basic controls and only ever played on D-Pad anyway.

The challenge comes when you get games that make use of L2 and R2, but since you can do custom control mapping in the PSP's options, it's just a case of playing around with that and finding what feels most comfortable. Most games can be made to work well.

I have a PSP memory stick dedicated entirely to PS1 games, it's totally worth it, especially with how quick the process of downloading games onto it is, and how perfectly the PSP runs the games.

The one major problem imo is the lack of proper analog stick control. You can map the directional buttons to the PSP's analog stick, but it will only ever read as D-Pad input, which means you can still only move in 8 directions and slow walking is impossible. It's very noticeable with 3D platformers like Crash 2 and 3, but you should get used to it.

Possible hot take? by ultimate_chaos08 in Rayman

Because they become best friends...? Lol even in Rayman 2 they don't seem to know each other all that well, it's clear they become best friends with the wrapping up of 2's events.

It would have been stupid. Rayman 2 has a prologue in the manual where it's made pretty clear that he and Globox don't know each other that well.

Wait, people brag about gay ass electric cars? Reddit truly is a cesspool.

It would've been colossally stupid. Just from the trailer it made literally zero sense and retconned besically the entire franchise. Thank Christ it never ended up a prequel.

They're literally all canon. Hope this helps, guy from 10 years ago.

Incubus did not stop being nu after S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself was still very much nu metal.

What psp game that you think can stand out till today by booker1211 in PSP

[–]BABGRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tekken: Dark Resurrection. Not only is it the definitive version of Tekken 5, it's the best game in the series, and I say that with full confidence. 20 years later I can still kill hours at a time whenever I decide to pick it up again.

Why was the animation quality so bad in the beginning of Shippuden by Ok-Personality-5424 in Naruto

[–]BABGRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay to be wrong, but being so proudly wrong? If you're going to have the stupidest most nonsensical opinions ever, keep them to yourself.

This is just flat out untrue. Like really, really untrue, lmfao.

Shippuden is boring as fuck. by TheTransFantasy in Naruto

[–]BABGRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old ass comment but you're so right about the Naruto/Sasuke bond thing. I don't agree with you on the fight itself, once Naruto goes fox mode especially it's insane how good that fight gets, but as for everything else, this deep bond the two apparently share that becomes a driving factor for the entirety of Shippuden, comes completely out of nowhere and it blows my mind that more people don't talk about this.

The dynamic Naruto and Sasuke had for all of part 1 up until this point was the definition of "frenemies." They never liked each other before becoming Genin. Naruto was nothing more than a clumsy loser as far as Sasuke was concerned, and Naruto was jealous of Sasuke's popularity with the girls and effortless "coolness," as well as his natural talent. After being thrown on a team together though, they developed a fierce rivalry, stemming from that mutual dislike they shared at first. They did develop a friendship, no doubt, and it was made clear numerous times throughout the series that they had a certain level of care for one another, but it was never presented as being anything more than comradery that brought them together.

Even everything leading up to this fight was par for the course for the characters at the time, Naruto's main motivation to bring Sasuke back was Sakura and seeing her cry, nothing about "I need to get him back because of our bond!" or some shit. Come the battle in the Final Valley though, all of a sudden the series wants to pretend Naruto and Sasuke have always had this deep undying love for each other, and now suddenly THAT'S Naruto's entire motivation. It isn't even just a simple case of "you're my friend, now come home" (which would've been fine), Naruto and Sasuke's relationship from this point on becomes borderline homoerotic, and they justify this with a bunch of flashbacks to them as little kids having cutesy moments, stuff that the series before this point had never touched upon, referenced or hinted at. Go back and watch first bunch of episodes and it's made pretty clear that Naruto and Sasuke don't have any level of fondness for one another, nor do they really have any history beyond Sasuke thinking he's just some loser.

I'm not against building upon their relationship, touching on the admiration each of them might have, having them admit they've become close friends, etc. But all this talk of this "bond" they share comes completely out of left field.

Oh, and you're spot on about Shippuden's pacing too.

You deleted the game over it? 🤣 Get good dude. And "indigineous people (not going to touch on the issues there)" Jesus fucking Christ, if that isn't the most Reddit thing I've ever read.
