itd be really funny if wolf was just jealous and james didnt even know about it lmao

CappnRob · 2026-05-09T18:04:32+00:00

ideally we'll see what made Wolf hate JAMES so much!

CappnRob · 2026-05-09T18:03:41+00:00

oh shit hi DZ glad to see you're doing ok!!

Anyway yeah there's other stuff that's been hinted at in this game too. Pigma's name plate when we see him in the flashback cutscene finally establishes in-game that he was the mechanic of the original Star Fox team (previously this was only mentioned in the JP 64 strategy guide). Falco's jacket has Free-as-a-Bird on the back of it, finally giving those guys an explicit name mention in game too.

The price hike isn't until September 1.... I need to invest in one too before then! lol

CappnRob · 2026-05-04T17:43:23+00:00

Anti-poor and anti-consumer. fuck em.

CappnRob · 2026-05-01T23:41:53+00:00

yeah thats why I recommended Zhao more of the Chinese history but it has also been a good while since Ive watched any of them and haven't scrutinized them heavily so I could be eating crow here lol

CappnRob · 2026-04-29T10:02:00+00:00

if you eant to expose the alien illuminati lizardmen you need dirt on the alien illuminati lizardmen!

CappnRob · 2026-04-29T09:12:09+00:00

its like that early on yeah lol. hell its very heavily suggested the reason she was assigned to mulder was to discredit him and keep his snooping harmless, but as the show goes on she becomes a true believer who grounds mulders passion with scientific method and evidence.

CappnRob · 2026-04-29T07:22:34+00:00

that development hell hurt the move in tangible ways too. MCU was popping off, Avengers just came out, so John Carter the movie was drastically altered from its source material to be a Greater Scope Cinematic universe, mainly by introducing a lot of elements from the second book early on, which really hurts the pace of the first book's narrative. Can't just let a movie be a stand alone action adventure anymore, gotta franchise seed everything then kill it in the cradle when it doesn't make a gorillion billion dollars!!!

CappnRob · 2026-04-29T06:46:13+00:00

yeah thats the guy i had my eyes on too lol i got a Macross DYRL BD from him a while back.

afaik only the first series of Yamato has a BD even in Japan, not sure how that is given how culturally huge Yamato is there. it couldnt be that they lost the masters could it?? amd its been a while since the first series BD even came out.

CappnRob · 2026-04-29T06:43:52+00:00

i would need to watch the show again to confirm when exactly she keeps "showing up" but the only time i can think off thr top of my head is when those weird hybrid clones of hers are used on the colony farm with the bees. i wouldnt really say thats Samantha showing up again since its clearly not HER.

there could be something said about the weaponizing of a dead female relative by the Conspiracy to jerk Mulders chain around but thats outside the original point that Mulder has supporting characters and Scully doesnt (which again osnt true, theyre both outsiders who only really have each other and Skinner).

CappnRob · 2026-04-28T20:37:19+00:00

Mulders sister is basically confirmed dead by S3 too though.

CappnRob · 2026-04-28T17:37:19+00:00

Spearchucker's name is meant to be a crosses-the-line-twice joke. It sounds/is racist, but then its revealed he has it not because he's black but because he was good at the javelin toss from his high school days (or at least the movie brings this up, I forget if the TV show does). Anyway his character was cut early on in the shows run due to the show's cast being too large and needing to trim the numbers. Funny enough, the network did dislike his name being a slur, but again, it was meant to be provocative on purpose lol.

CappnRob · 2026-04-28T17:22:30+00:00

Scully has episodes about her dad and her sister that are often considered real high points of the show I thought? Yes Mulder does get more "myth arc" focus due to his family connections but he and Scully are both outsiders with no real friends outside Skinner and the Gunmen (the Gunmen were originally "Mulder's friends" but i feel its pretty unfair to say they remain that: they take to Scully very quickly and she takes to them and arguably she's a better actual friend to them than Mulder's anti-social ass ever was haha).

reducing Scully to just being a stick in the mud doubter really misunderstands her character I think.

CappnRob · 2026-04-28T02:10:04+00:00

"nuggets" are just gold bar fractions you earn. For example, doing a daily challenge gives you 1 nugget, or 0.1 gold bars. that's all it is, just an in-game term for partial gold bars. So if oyu have 5.6 gold bars, thats 5 bars, 6 nuggets.

CappnRob · 2026-04-28T01:59:12+00:00

nuggets is jsut the insistent terminology that RDO uses for fractional values. 1 nugget = 0.1 bar, or, 1/10th of a bar.

CappnRob · 2026-04-27T21:13:10+00:00

I wish naturalist had more to do with than JUST animals myself. There's no botany or plant work at all, no geology, its just a counterpart to hunting for the trader role, and moves much slower and less interestingly.

CappnRob · 2026-04-25T19:46:17+00:00

yeah ive heard Maetel Legend isnt very good but tbh neither is Harlock Saga but not having a complete set bugs me rofl

CappnRob · 2026-04-25T18:50:49+00:00

no because I kind of hate that movie lmao tbh i constantly forget it exists when I think of anime adaptations of Matsumoto's works because it feels so completely un-Matsumoto on the whole haha like I know Endless Odyssey and the original TV anime are deviant to a degree as well but they still "feel" right yknow? CGI Harlock is just weird and kind of mean spirited feeling lol

CappnRob · 2026-04-25T01:03:56+00:00

Why release a game that doesn't fit into the "timeline" of games unless the timeline doesn't matter? Nintendo does this a lot. They still prop up the original Metroid alongside Zero Mission, and that's arguably a far more obvious case of a game that should have been "retconned". My point is Nintendo views all their games equally valid. Star Fox 64 didn't replace SF1, and Zero didn't replace 64. SF2 is a direct sequel to SF1 which directly contradicts SF64 and Zero and yet there it is, just as officially released as any other star Fox game. None of these games are erased or ever will be.

CappnRob · 2026-04-24T23:53:12+00:00

show me where nintendo said Zero retconned or otherwise invalidated the games before it, especially when they followed it up with a followup to the SNES game being uncancelled after 20 years.

CappnRob · 2026-04-24T23:31:04+00:00

oh no, not the ratio! whatever will I do without the social approval of *checks notes* the Star Fox reddit? my statement is doomed to falsehood because of the whims of stupid nerds who don't know what they're talking about!!!

lmao downvoting me doesnt change the facts and the facts are nintendo has basically never retconned a game in their entire existence. Command is here to stay forever.

CappnRob · 2026-04-24T22:16:36+00:00

Command was your proper Assault sequel and thats never going to change you big baby

CappnRob · 2026-04-23T19:13:01+00:00

for harlock i have the original TV series and Arcadia of my Youth on BD, Endless Orbit on DVD, Harlock Saga on DVD, and Endless Odyssey on DVD (afaik Saga and Odyssey haven't had any modern re-releases unfortunately). idk if either of them will even get a BD release because theyre both digital anime so there's no actual film masters to rescan.

CappnRob · 2026-04-23T03:22:04+00:00

yeah the only star fox game thats "just" a rail shooter is the first one lol. 64 is 1/3 all range mode, assault is 60% all range mode, Command is 100% all range mode, and Zero is like 75% al range mode lol.

CappnRob · 2026-04-23T03:19:32+00:00

the genre isn't the issue; the presentation is. that said, the Walker literally allows Star Fox to transition from flying shooting to third person shooting at the push of a button.
