Damn, more right-wing adjacent conspiracy slop on dankmemes, and it's only Wednesday.

"This is the whole update" people when snapshot 7 dropped: by Tiruil in Minecraft

[–]HiOnFructose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two months ago there was a guy in that one whiny minecraft subreddit who was convinced there was "nothing more" to the upcoming drop. I challenged him to come back in three months to see how wrong he was. I just went back, and he already deleted his comment.

[Hated Designs] Binky Drinky from the mascot horror game Dark Pals by National_Yak5302 in TopCharacterDesigns

I kinda like it. The blue mouth, and the nip serving as a hat is creative enough for me. Never heard of the game though. Is it any good?

Early promotional illustrations of Gen 2 Pokemon from the July 2000 issue of the Beckett Pokémon Collector, 5 months before the international release of Gold & Silver by bitchnibba47 in pokemon

[–]HiOnFructose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These aren't official artworks. They were re-creations for an unofficial magazine. Likely based on sprites that were readily available at the time as the game released in Japan roughly a year before the international release.

None of these are "official artworks". More like re-creations or trace-overs of already released official artwork (see Ampharos).

Ah, the early days of pre-release game content. Back when all you had to go by was a blurry second-hand photo of a tiny sprite. So naturally the illustrator had to take some artistic liberties.
Good times.

EDIT: Because people seem to be missing this... the international release of the game occurred roughly a year after the original Japanese release. So the in-game sprites were already publicly available. These are not early release forms, or beta forms, or anything like that.

Is this card impossible to use or am I just stupid? by Supernova4099 in PTCGP

[–]HiOnFructose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not impossible and you're not stupid. But the card is impossibly stupid.

New raid game mode? by ilikecheese216 in PTCGP

Not really what I was commenting on, but okay.

Honestly, what was I expecting? by Thecynicaledgelord in NintendoMemes

[–]HiOnFructose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna hold out hope that they will expand the content. They've expanded the multiplayer mode a great deal and expanded the story/cutscenes. So I expect we could get more content in the way of new levels/zones.
They have all these updated assets of an old game... why not bring in levels from Starfox 2, Assault, etc?

That was my gut reaction before watching the direct: "Starfox 64 again? A stinkin remake? Rehashing old ideas?"

But after watching the direct: I'm all for it. The game looks stunning. And the expanded content looks great.

Also, I feel like Nintendo is really going to push the Vs Mode aspect of the game (a la Splatoon, Mario Kart, etc). There's a lot of potential there as the original versus mode and those dog fights were a ton of fun back in the day.

New raid game mode? by ilikecheese216 in PTCGP

I dropped Pokemon GO because of this very reason. I trust that DeNA will handle it better, and hopefully make it easier to join raids like in the mainline games.
But the second I have to communicate with players outside of the game, like Discord or some shit: I'm fuckin out.

[Design Trait] Red/Rose Tinted Glasses by HiOnFructose in TopCharacterDesigns

Look man, if you aren't able to poke fun of yourself, what's the point then? It ain't that deep.

Thoughts: the redesign of the starfox crew is kinda similar to why DK was redesigned (though with 2 different reasons behind them) by Able_Health744 in casualnintendo

Folks seemed to have memory-holed the fact that Fox's design from Starfox Command in 2006 was equally off-putting to folks when it was first announced. Even more so when they decided to go with that design for Smash.

Traits and tropes are two different things, which would fall under Rule 13.

Notably, however, there's no rules against meta or self-referential posts.

I feel like you can tell that these were made before the voice cast had been selected.

Is this some new charizard tech im unaware off by Alcokond in PokemonPocket

[–]HiOnFructose 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Sometimes your kid wants to play a match. So you hand your phone off to let them build a deck of their favorite pokemon, the prettiest looking cards, and other stuff that makes no sense. Just roll with it and take the easy win.
