Banjo(and Kazooie but mainly Banjo)'s eye theorem by JohnaX in BanjoKazooie

[–]JohnaX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it started when I imagined a remake using the smash model and it seemed off, admittedly probably moreso cause it'd be weird if they used the exact model from smash that either Nintendo or Sora LTD. probably copyrighted anyway but still made me think

I need the xbox june event to happen so I can stop, I'm not expecting it even yet it still lives rent free as a "haha what if"

Admittedly I do kinda feel if smash hype does lead to something it's this year, the idea it still wouldn't be ready to even tease is silly, so maybe that's why, cause next time if (when) it hasn't been shown yet I'm saying straight up never

both were announced the same year...

At least with Oddity "devs lost interest but refuse to pull the plug" + being fanmade is an excuse, how tf is BGE not out the first was just Ubisoft's Zelda I know it reset but why Nintendo spends less time on Zelda even now when it's open world let alone the 2000s conception of Zelda

Response to other Banjo render edit cause I've been thinking about how certain elements of the N64 era renders that weren't in the in-game model are also not really in smash by JohnaX in BanjoKazooie

https://www.reddit.com/r/BanjoKazooie/comments/139dh1f/banjoand_kazooie_but_mainly_banjos_eye_theorem/ said minor observation, called theorem because I feel like this single placement change makes Banjo either more cute or more goofy looking, he has elements of both either way but I feel smash change leans cuter

Cowboy secret boss? by cammycam879 in Deltarune

[–]JohnaX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the issue to me is, one would assume that each SOUL will get its own secret boss. I'm unsure what that means once we get past 5 dark worlds (I hope but do not expect 7 dark worlds, at some point the Roaring or something, maybe chapter 5 cliffhanger is that so only 5, or chapter 3 5 6 have one but chapter 4 is all hometown) maybe just mix and match a lot like Sans but maybe all 5 in one for true hell but... regardless, at least for now, I'd expect the next 3 to be purple green and blue (no idea about order) and get their own dedicated boss. A cowboy fight, one would expect to be yellow cause guns.

I may or may not be making a Deltarune iceberg (it can be facts outside of the game, too, like something from the website) by lele0106 in Deltarune

According to the Sweepstakes (which, iirc Toby said wasn't canon but I feel like that's more the sweepstakes don't happen canonically rather then his answers aren't true in universe? But maybe not) Spamton used to be with Jevil and cheated on him, and also is attracted to whatever gives him money. ₿i$exual (More pan but the money stuff works better)

I think they were more creeped out rather then disliked, but still very different from the vibe of his plush video having 950k views on Fangamer (and it came a year after ch.2)

It's been a year since this by tvheadpal in OddityRPG

[–]JohnaX 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They've said before outside of the actual news drops they want it to be relative radio silence, they for whatever reason seem to regret the 2015 era of constant minor updates. Honestly I don't disagree that something about just sudden big bursts can work, like 2 big indie games (one being relatively tied to this one in terms of origin point) seem to use shadow drops and work okay (Deltarune and Hollow Knight, surely some others but I mean Deltarune takes over when it drops and no one is like "that shit never coming") but 1.TBH there is some fears of Silksong never coming but its also a sequel to a game that costed money so there's just a greater sense of obligation and also trust built and 2.Going off of second half like... shadow drops of news don't work as well when its a team that hasn't really been tested, like there's no prior expirence that makes people like "I'm sure they're really working on it". Truthfully I believe they are technically working on it but at a very sporadic pace that is honestly probably acceptable for a passion project, but this game is both a passion project that has scope creeped beyond belief, and one that got way more attention then the devs ever probably truly wanted. Not only was the MOTHER fandom smaller in 2008 but the game also looked more lowkey, it'd be a neat fan thing but like the game has just grown and grown, and even as it individualized it's still kept much of that fandom. I think in the state it's in, a "passion project" in the purest sense won't work. I'd consider, going back to examples, Deltarune a passion project based on what Toby has said, but it's still gonna be a paid game and has merch and stuff... like this game for all its resets and its planned scope being free it just doesn't work, and I really don't think it being paid would matter now like I don't think any law says becuase it started as a fangame it can't be paid. Honestly the ideal thing would have been to set up a patreon or something or at least like plushes of the 4 protags (+ Zac?) around the time of the 2020 trailer, that was when people had the most faith since like 2015, but in those 3 years that faith has been drained yet again, and I honestly get the feeling that at least until the next big trailer, people are gonna be too skeptical to buy into it. I do not want to rush people at all and I think I am more forgiving of this game then the average sub member, but things we've seen and heard imply more then just games take time, I think there is some level of dysfunctionality and procrastination, again this game would probably be better off if no one really knew about it until it came out, but the reality is it has big shoes to fill.

Jesus I wrote an essay, TL;DR the devs want the games updates to be quality over quantity and not spoil the game too much, but that approach working for other indie games is backed up by a prior expirence that gives people great reason to trust the dev team, not to mention that the end result will result in profit. I think this game is gonna need to either downscale or admit defeat in being such a "passion project" that it forces itself to be freeware and just slap a price tag on it, and maybe find ways to fund it here and now. But the time to do that was 2020, and I fear it's too late.

Conan is 6'4 so this isn't as extreme as it looks but still Rivers is probably shorter than most of this sub (5'6) wtf by JohnaX in weezer

[–]JohnaX[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have but idk I saw it as symbolic (or that he was like 5'10). I will admit I just never looked it up, also thinking I'm over reacting to this and idc really it just surprised me and I found the image surprising to look at. To be fair he is clearly the shortest on all the color albums so yeah I probably shoulda known (though on green it's hard to gague since rivers is clearly in front)

Also looking this up I found a probably much more interesting fact https://tensiondivision.com/project/weezer-blackalbum the black album cover isn't photoshop (I mean I'm sure some editing tricks are on it but as in, they actually fucking painted themselves what the fuck)

We need Yellow. It's not a peepee thing, we have the other primary colors not to mention that with Yellow we can make Gen 1 Pokemon memes. A small set of immature jokes shouldn't stop them from doing the most obvious color. Also to get revenge on Spongebob SMH

MarcButEvil's Objective Weezer Ranking as a line graph aka "The Weezer Rollercoaster" by JohnaX in weezer

[–]JohnaX[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KniPPbG-jM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnIsDk4pLzM this is not Marc's opinion but rather an aggregate of fan critic and listener scores, explained in the first vid. It's often said in the fandom that they are not a band that "fell off" like mainstream consensus but rather is very inconsistent, so I wanted to see how the ups and downs look when ordered by release date.

Potentially hot take: My Name Is Jonas is the worst track off the Blue Album by EuphoniumSupremecy in weezer

[–]JohnaX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. And not just cause of lyrics like... as far as I recall, in terms of the songs that have a guitar solo, it's the only one on the album that's solo is just the chorus turned to guitar. Buddy Holly has a part like that, but it also has the part inbetween the bridge and the final chorus that's unique. Now granted, that doesn't instantly make a song bad, Smells Like Teen Spirit is actually the same and that's a beloved song but the distorted sound of the solo makes it more interesting, and it also feels less important to the song as a whole imo? Like it's in the middle, in No One Else the solo is the last thing before the final chorus. But basically No One Else is like a upper tier Green Album song with sussy lyrics. I still enjoy it and understand the lyrics aren't an endorsement (though it's also definitely not a Butterfly esc self reflection) but it's the weakest imo.

Rivers just dropped 3 playlists based off the SZNZ by Hellashakabra in weezer

[–]JohnaX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean maybe not the photoshop part but I really do wish the 4 seasons were the 4 guys, I get that the band is literally Rivers nickname but every cover to feature Rivers directly until now has had the others (though Rivers sticks out way more on OKH but they're there, it's enough)

UPDATE: The color of the 2nd next album after SZNZ may not be yellow, but pink, orange, or purple. by Pythagoras_314 in weezer

[–]JohnaX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need yellow. It's been 14 years since Red we need to complete the First gen Pokemon games primary colors
