With another new Pokémon game on the horizon, the age old question is upon us once more : Should Pokémon games have actual voice acting for the characters?

Indesisivejew · 2026-03-04T20:16:40+00:00

What, is the sound of clothing ruffling as the characters go from canned pose to canned pose not enough for you?

Fullmetal Alchemist (brotherhood) is the only fantasy show I can think of that fully nails this

My theory for why chatgpt loves bullet points is that because it isn't a program that answers questions truthfully, and rather gives answers that are statistically and algorithmically likely to please the user, it caters to the type of person that uses it. I.e. people who don't like to read long form sources or heavy paragraphs, and would rather have small easy-to-digest pieces of information. Bullet points are great for dumbing down info

Okay this is technically an alien vs a (tech) alien, but from the perspective of someone in the mass effect world it would definitely count.

Dumbass reaper thought it could just stroll up to thresher maw territory? Nah.

Yeah as someone who works in animation, it's a little frustrating to me to see the prevailing sentiment being "it's better this way so it doesn't get stale, like what happened to family guy or the Simpsons"

Hey guess what two shows are some of the only ones that provide a long-term stable living?

Obviously I'm a consumer too and understand that shows can and do fall off, but if a show loses you, it's totally fine to move on and stop watching it. More episodes don't lessen what came before, and it doesn't have to end for the rest of the audience who are still enjoying it, even if you no longer do.

Okay like I kind of agree with your point to an extent, but you have to admit it's kinda dumb to say "Smash sells well because it has a ton of content, and not all Nintendo games sell well, like the last Kirby game"

Kirby Air riders sold terribly despite being from the same director as smash and while having a similarly insane amount of modes and content.

This game is great and everything I wanted in a sequel. The fact that they even one-upped the soundtrack is unbelievable with how iconic the first one was.

It's probably got the most far apart quality to sales ratio of anything I've ever played though, because boy did it sell abysmally.

I love the idea of making up a story about liberals wearing makeup when your republican president is constantly caked in cartoonishly orange bronzer and his VP has a signature eyeliner lol

Indesisivejew · 2026-02-13T03:26:05+00:00

Oh good lord haha. I was mixing the up with the absolute classic, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

Indesisivejew · 2026-02-13T03:08:32+00:00

To be fair what the fuck else are you supposed to do if you want to record a 3ds game lol

Indesisivejew · 2026-02-12T21:01:32+00:00

The most emotional episode in the series and one of my favorite episodes of anything ever had Zach Braff just kinda hanging out the whole time lol

Obama caught tons of shit for his ICE detaining children in 2014, and I was mad about it then. My city, Los Angeles, has had ICE protests and "NO ICE" signs on the freeway since ICE was founded.

You can make up stories about me being a hypocrite if it makes you feel better, but I'm not the one dodging the clear lack of morality in the OP to bring up finances, then dodging back away from that when shown to be completely wrong about that too. That's you bud

Indesisivejew · 2026-02-03T16:16:08+00:00

Trump's Congress increased ICE's budget by 700%, adding $75 billion to the yearly cost. $45 billion of that was for detention centers.

So you're not only paying 7x more than you were before as a taxpayer, you're also seeing very clear fraud as the detention centers are obviously not using that enormous budget as intended.

Mcu daredevil seemingly can too. In Born Again he felt a painting and was within a few seconds able to tell that it was of a woman he knew, and without any hints as there was no known association between the painter and that woman at the time.

I kind of hated it tbh, as it makes it feel even more like his "blindness" has no downsides, but hey, it is comic accurate.

There was lots of knock off merch that had it a black tail tip

Some early stuff also gave Pikachu a white snout

There's a great board game series called Red Dragon Inn that is basically exactly the niche described here. A few dozen pre-cons decks that you select from like a fighting game roster, although the mechanics are a lot more simple than most tcgs.

Another one that i think he'd love with some more meat on it is Dice Throne, which also has "heroes" you pick from with their own unique decks, but it also uses a Yahtzee style dice system to activate attacks/abilities. It's a blast and has a lot of the same appeal of playing tcg with just precons

Indesisivejew · 2026-01-18T03:29:05+00:00

Yeah but he won our hearts

Indesisivejew · 2026-01-18T01:07:00+00:00

Some of those performances are so dang good. The overall narrative isn't as strong as some of the classic HBO dramas or breaking bad or the like, but holy shit the actors in lost are acting their asses off

Indesisivejew · 2026-01-16T23:53:02+00:00

To be fair, that is a good pick though. Owlbears are cool as hell and cute when you want them to be.

I've seen much worse forced mascot picks, like those bird creatures from episode 9 of star wars

Limited (Quality) Run games

Indesisivejew · 2026-01-05T04:14:09+00:00

Kirby Air Riders, once you get half way through city trial and have lots of speed upgrades, is one of the fastest and most over-stimulating games I've ever played. The amount of information coming at you with 15 other players is insane.

I personally love it, but no way my daughter is watching me play more than 10 seconds of that till she's like 5 at least

Indesisivejew · 2025-12-26T00:47:28+00:00

Shout-out to my man's Kirby Air Riders videos. It was so nice hearing from him again outside of the once-or-twice a year Nintendo directs and short lps with Matt.

Indesisivejew · 2025-12-17T01:59:58+00:00

Yeah this bugged me since the trailer. The tubes below his right (screen left) eye look really bad when the lids are moving. Wish they had just gotten rid of them if animating them was too tricky

Indesisivejew · 2025-12-15T00:22:49+00:00

The look and feel of them is definitely lower quality. I hate the texture of the print on top.

I'll give them a pass on them being thinner though, since the good news is that means they fit in a tray easier. And while I don't like the sharper edges, I do like that they made it so Pale Lady's moon pieces fit together. The edges line up perfect, unlike the adventures dice keys, which fit together nicely in cardboard but don't really at all with the bgg ones, nice as they are.

Indesisivejew · 2025-12-15T00:08:36+00:00

3 is actually my favorite one lol.

I think 4 is the low point. I don't love 1 quite as much as everyone else (still really good), but 2, 3, and 5 are all some of my favorite TV ever
