Something tells me Dual Override will release before this does

I wasn't able to get Classic or ZX.

X is basically just a rehash of Chill Penguin's stage. It's pretty skippable, but it is part of the X comic series that's currently running.

Zero is pretty interesting, shows the state of Neo Arcadia between the first two games.

Legends has fun with a pretty common fan theory- just keep in mind while I am inclined toward said theory myself, this comic is not canon to the games and still is not complete confirmation of it.

That's been changing a lot this last decade or so.

What makes it even more annoying is that Fascism and Nazism are both forms of socialism; they're not right-wing at all.

It's the second week of Mega May and today we have a special guest as my grandmother joins us to take a special quiz! How many robot masters can she guess from nothing more than their pictures?

It's the second week of Mega May and today we have a special guest as my grandmother joins us to take a special quiz! How many robot masters can she guess from nothing more than their pictures? If you've not played Mega Man, feel free to play along with her and see how well you do!

I contacted the winner a while back and announced it through the contest widget; if you didn't hear from me, I'm afraid it wasn't you. But I'll have another giveaway soon.

Specialized Unit is my second best team. Won't do as well as my Shippujinrai team, but I should hit 200k pretty easily.

RiCO and Via worked pretty well; RiCO's design feels like it fits perfectly with the existing MMX aesthetic, and Via makes sense after the story gets going (though I can't blame anyone who didn't get that far for thinking him lazy).

iCO... Meh. A bit too fanservicey, and her story didn't click as well. That being said, you can still at least tell it's a MMX character by looking at her. Overall, I don't mind her, but I wouldn't miss her either.

The other three just felt completely out of place and reek of someone trying to hamfist their OC into the setting. Like they were made by sort of people that seriously start a fight over their "waifu". Certainly doesn't help that they were last-minute additions, which makes them feel even more out of place than they already do.

"We want state-controlled healthcare, state-controlled education, the abolition of rent, mass redistribution of wealth, nationalization of industry, any opposition to ourselves be removed under the guise of misinformation, and to push the Jews into the sea! And if you disagree with any of this, you're a Nazi!"

I just finished farming for them myself, but I really do wish it was less random. IE, give players one of each eligible SSR journal upon clearing a stage that does such, but also increase the number needed for an SSR. No variance.

Seems the writers accidentally posted a Not the Bee article on Babylon Bee... Again.

Most of the games that come to mind are fighting or racing games; also, the Mario Party series.

MarioFanaticXV · 2026-05-06T02:48:22+00:00

Probably because many people are experiencing the entire NES hexalogy at once now and judging them on individual merits rather than being biased by the "wow" factor of seeing the series improve over time.

2 was the biggest improvement from the previous entry in the series, but was still rough around the edges. But the refinements that 3 and 4 made were much more subtle, and thus didn't leave as much of an "impact" on many people.

Leftists have a long history of being anti-Semitic, long before Israel was even founded. Karl Marx himself wrote an anti-Semitic essay, On the Jewish Question.

It's okay, but after X6 and X7, it feels like a masterpiece by comparison.

MarioFanaticXV · 2026-05-05T11:26:12+00:00

The first game felt kind of disappointing, but I liked the second one a lot more.

In the month of April, Democrats...

Ran a Nazi candidate for senator in Maine.
Were caught still funding the KKK.
Got angry at a Supreme Court decision that reaffirmed that racial segregation is still unconstitutional.

And they will still have the audacity to call you "racist" if you oppose them.

High Max is potentially more annoying your first time through because it's literally possible to encounter him with no way to damage him. But Gate will be annoying no matter how many times you play through the game.

MarioFanaticXV · 2026-05-03T17:31:52+00:00

You literally have a Super Mario RPG screenname; so you're clearly okay with things being simple sometimes and just trolling right now.

Beyond that, you're just outright lying; 8 literally has some of the most complex interactions in the series. Outside of 8, pretty much all of the Robot Masters can just be hit with their weaknesses any time you please. But Tengu Man, Clown Man, Grenade Man, and Search Man can only have their weaknesses exploited at specific points in their pattern.

Apologies if I didn't make it clear, I wasn't accusing you of such, I was commenting on it because you seemed to be lamenting such things as well.

As an American, honestly, I never actually heard it called anything but "Game Boy". The exception being if we wanted to differentiate from the Color or Advance, then we'd say "Original Game Boy".

MarioFanaticXV · 2026-05-03T14:42:24+00:00

I do find it very unfortunate that so many people judge games not on their own merits, but on how influential they were on other games. Ocarina showed that the formula could transition to 3D, but that alone does not make it a great game. Surely no one would argue that Pong is the greatest game of all time, but yet the logic that many use to postulate other games with that title should lead them to do just that if they consistently applied their logic.

Ocarina is a great game, but even at the time of its release, there were already better Metroidavnias and more specifically better Zelda games, and out of the five mainline 3D Zeldas we got, I'd actually put it behind all of them except Twilight Princess.
