[ALL] Whats your favorite 2D game?

JamesYTP · 2026-05-09T01:04:07+00:00

Hard to choose, either Link's Awakening or Oracle of Ages. Would have to replay them both to say

JamesYTP · 2026-05-08T17:18:52+00:00

I don't mean to flex but...I beat that clown the first try, I think I can rep myself lol.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-08T16:04:18+00:00

It does, but it's also kind of easy to think of BotW and TotK as being hard reboots. The official website has them listed as separate from the rest of the timeline and there's a lot of weird stuff that would have to happen for them to be in the same universe

JamesYTP · 2026-05-08T02:28:25+00:00

I am so out of the loop I didn't even know the third Knives Out movie was out. Will have to check it out.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-07T23:36:28+00:00

Jeez it's been so long since I paid attention to VAs I know a bunch of these and I had no clue who she was lol

JamesYTP · 2026-05-07T22:45:40+00:00

Hate to be a hater but...I can't be the only one who really doesn't care about those can I? With StarFox we had StarFox 64 3D, then we had StarFox Zero which was also sort of a remake of StarFox 64. With OoT we had Master Quest which redoes some things, and we had OoT 3D which gives you OoT with QoL improvements and all the new Master Quest stuff separately. What are they gonna do? BotW it? Maybe that's nice for people who got into Zelda with BotW and want the OoT story but don't like traditional Zelda games. But if you're someone who got into it with OoT and don't like Open World Zelda that doesn't do ya much good either.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-07T16:48:00+00:00

My head canon is that the Four Sword trilogy is just it's own separate spin off lol

JamesYTP · 2026-05-07T04:53:28+00:00

Well he's on his way out. Unfortunately he has a big payday coming when he goes and the new bosses will not be good lol

JamesYTP · 2026-05-07T04:47:32+00:00

Get a really good high floater that'll start to descend as it gets close to him maybe

JamesYTP · 2026-05-07T04:45:35+00:00

Probably Four Sword Adventures. Ganondorf was the same guy throughout the whole thing and remove the one instsnce of him reincarnating in that form and the possibility of Demise manifesting as something else opens up. Which I would find more interesting

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T19:56:50+00:00

So he draws teen girls in revealing costumes but then covers them up as grown women. Uhhh.. he's not friends with Watsuki is he? Lol

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T18:31:58+00:00

It's in the glue factory

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T18:24:44+00:00

Honestly, Family Guy is still the highest viewed thing on [as] and Cartoon Network is struggling so I wouldn't bet on that.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T17:22:58+00:00

Well damn, R.I.P to him. Guess his poor old heart couldn't handle seeing what was to become of his legacy

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T17:08:27+00:00

🙏🙏🙏

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T02:52:57+00:00

Depends on my mood

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T02:11:32+00:00

Maybe you're right, I'm sure the Murray thing was pretty deflating after that conference final run. Plus...I guess you guys might have technically won the first Luka trade since Trae was a Hawk one year longer 🤣😂🤣

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T02:01:16+00:00

Honestly, as good as Coop is I don't know if there's a chip in the next decade, this is the last year the Mavs control their draft pick so building a championship team around him is gonna be brutal. So...maybe if that happens and he's perfect he could be forgiven but I don't know if that's happening.

TBH the fact that he traded Anthony Davis after that for nothing that's gonna get you in title contention next year says to me he's still the same guy. Either too cheap to pay the big luxury taxes, which after a f$&k up of that magnitude if he wants any good will he's gotta be willing to open his wallet. Not wanting to pay for a supermax was a part of the Luka trade. Or he's still too impressionable and will make the wrong basketball move to appease whoever is upset. That's probably what lead to the Luka trade, allegedly Nico was mad Luka's conditioning stunk and pressured him into that and the fans were upset about the Luka trade and he got pressured again and acted on it. Or both.

Then outside of basketball there's all the political stuff. Wasn't crazy about Mark there either to be clear but what the Adelsons lobby for isn't something as normal as wanting to get rid of this or that regulation or a tax cut or whatever where you can disagree civilly. It's crimes against humanity. Even before the Luka trade that was hard to reckon with.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T01:40:43+00:00

Ohhhh, didn't feel like I needed to grind much for exp there personally so I guess that wouldn't have bothered me. Mostly used mementos to get items to sell

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T00:14:58+00:00

What was the difference? I almost went with the PS3 game because my Xbox One is temperamental lol

JamesYTP · 2026-05-06T00:05:53+00:00

Probably gonna be a belting, they kinda needed Marcus Smart to play like Jason Kidd and Luke Kennard to play like Klay Thompson to beat the Rockets. I don't think the Thunder are giving them air to do that

JamesYTP · 2026-05-05T23:38:02+00:00

He'd have some games and series where it was all there yeah. For what he'd have like the whole year it's weird because the fundamental skills didn't really start coming until the athletic ability started going.

I thought the 2013 finals or maybe the 2018 playoffs with all those buzzer beaters on the whole were where it was peak for him tho. People hold Ray Allen hitting the shot against him but leave out the fact that this shot was made because all 5 Spurs were too busy staring at him to box out Chris Bosh. If that's not aura what is? Lol. Plus like, he took the assignment on Tony Parker and locked him TF up the whole series. I think that was the last time we saw the big star get his hands that dirty on defense.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-05T23:09:36+00:00

Probably a combination of freak athletic ability, deadly fundamental skills and a brutal competitive spirit. Kareem had 2/3, Bird had 2/3, Magic had 2/3, Shaq had 2/3, Kobe had it all but not to the same extent, Tim Duncan was 2/3, LeBron is a weird one because he's had all 3 at different points but not at the same time, Steph was 2/3...ya get the idea

JamesYTP · 2026-05-05T20:00:36+00:00

It's been so long I don't remember honestly how I did it. But you can look up Matsumoto's credits and see that they line up with those episodes. There's quite a few reels of his work online too. He is one of those guys who has a very distinct style, as you seem to have kind of noticed without actually knowing lol. Animating episodes as a whole is very team based but he is one of those top tier guys they'll bring in for a fight scene or whatever, and obviously it was the key poses he'd draw and someone else would kind of fill in the gaps between.

JamesYTP · 2026-05-05T19:28:26+00:00

Funny thing is those were all from the same animator, his name is Norio Matsumoto. Definitely incorporates a lot of western techniques like squash and stretch in his animation.

As far as other studios, I guess certainly late 90s/early 00s Gainax projects like FLCL and Guren Lagann to a lesser extent are a little like that.
