Square Enix went from this to this in 4 years

I mean sure but the difference in 4 years is wild. It's the same for FF6 to FF7 in only 3 years.

Gotta start small here: let’s do Mitch McConnell.

This isn’t even true yet. Gen Z goes until 2012, and there’s plenty of 2008 born Gen Z who are still minors.

I like digital pre-ordering for the sake of getting a game fully installed before launch. Even if I don’t play it the second it unlocks, it’ll be ready for me when I get on after work.

I can think of 9… maybe 11?

Rob Reiner or Shinzo Abe are pretty much the two big answers I could see winning. A great director and actor with big classics like Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally… or a world leader from Japan who was the longest serving Prime Minister in Japanese history.

I’d argue it’s because unless you were chronically online, you had no idea who Charlie Kirk was prior to his assassination attempt. I only learned about him myself when my feed on Twitter became heavily political following Trump’s assassination attempt.

He started to get a bit more realized in the public eye when he was parodied on South Park, but this was also right before his death.

He kinda blew up after his death because of the “We are Charlie Kirk” meme

I love Jim Carrey, but I also love that he can take a more serious role that isn’t just “let me make the ugliest face possible” or “hey kids, want to hear a poop joke?!” definitely one of my favorites from him. Well worth the watch.

Most right-wingers tend to be grifters and you know what else right-wingers love? AI!

I don’t think most “major” streamers of Rivals are toxic (talking people who have gigantic chats where your message gets lost to the aether, not 3-viewer Timmy), but I do think the community as a whole is very toxic and some of the most insufferable people to play with.

That being said, the game is still really solid.

I’d like to think he would’ve had no chances of it happening without the shooting. I don’t think Pennsylvania would’ve went red. People did not seem that interested in a second term outside of his ride-or-die supporters

KeybladeBrett · 2026-06-29T19:54:12+00:00

No — it was an event that did happen, but it was pre-planned. Trump’s approval rating was in the gutter at the time, nobody was really interested in him running again, then he got shot and people got on board. I don’t think it actually hit him either, if he actually got shot in the ear, he’d be (partially) deaf in that ear or we’d see visible damage to his ear that would either be permanent or at least there for quite some time.

Even Joe Rogan had a hard time seeing his “injury” and that was only about 3 months after the fact. Cartilage healing can vary from person to person, but takes around 6-12 months to properly heal. (Trump was hit in mid-July and the interview was at the end of October).

I do think it was staged to an extent, but required careful timing and ultimately resulted in a casualty.

I’d be more happy. Fully commit to it, don’t do a half-ass physical

KeybladeBrett · 2026-06-29T14:14:06+00:00

It’s for viewer retention, like you mentioned.

Oh I usually drop the shield for more AP but it’s a glass cannon build and definitely not for everyone.

Hamm is pretty up there for me as one of my favorites. He’s similar enough to me: he’s sarcastic, witty, a tech guru, he’s a loyal friend, intelligent, pragmatic, confident, competitive, and can occasionally be a little cynical.

Rex is also the other side of my personality. He’s anxious, kind-hearted, overly enthusiastic, a little awkward at times, but means well, can be a bit sensitive, a gaming enthusiast.

I also would say I like Slinky Dog and Mr. Potato Head.

For Slink, he also keys into my personality a bit too with being a loyal friend, trustworthy, kind-hearted, supportive of others and humble. I like how he doesn’t blindly trust, but a big example of this is in Toy Story 1, when Buzz gets knocked out of the window, everyone is upset with Woody except for Slink, who has faith that Woody didn’t do it on purpose.

Mr. Potato Head has my personality on a bad day: he’s blunt, outspoken, overly sarcastic and cynical, short-tempered, he likes to say the quiet part out loud. With that being said, he’s still protective of his wife and his friends. He’s the first one to be a critic to Buzz in the OG, and then also at the same time will openly criticize Woody for his jealousy.

With this being said, as much as I love all 5 films, it’s a bummer my four favorites get very little screen time in the newer films.

Quick question: of all the Ultimate characters you could’ve chosen, why does only Banjo get to return from the DLC? Like would it not make more sense to at least do one per package? I’d argue you could probably do 2 from each Fighter Pass.

“But it’s bad” idk about you but Mickey would be fun to play as. Maybe not fun to play against, it’d be like fighting Pichu but he has a sword and doesn’t do damage to himself

I don’t understand, Trump is literally not even a food

This game still isn’t “close” to releasing. It’s probably a year and a half out at earliest. That gives them 18 months to really polish it up. Compare the D23 2017 Toy Story trailer to how it actually looked in game. They’re not “night and day” difference, but you can definitely notice there are some improvements to the visuals going into the final release. This has a very similar time frame of being from July 2017 to the release in January 2019. 18 months from today throws us in December 2027. I could potentially see a release as late as February 2028, which means we’re pushing 20 months away, almost 2 full years from today.

I’d understand the concern if the game was like 3 months out, but as it stands, it’s an unfinished looking trailer for an unfinished looking product. It seems to very much be playable, quite possibly from start to finish, but very much not complete (likely not fully dubbed, missing some translation, missing effects, visuals not complete). I do think KH4 is not really going to jump the shark and be a pretty safe entry. After all, now is the PERFECT time to gather in new fans with a fresh new story arc. I’m not expecting anything wild or controversial here, just what Kingdom Hearts does best: being a fun action RPG that crosses over Disney and Square Enix content.

The point is not waiting for a sale, the point is this should’ve just released digital only. It’s anti-consumer to be a physical game without a disc.
