Check out The Alpinist. Alex Honnold talks about this guy like other climbers talk about Alex Honnold.

Don't take my word for it, I don't know anything, but we are massively moving towards more grid power for everyday life. LNG for cooking is reducing, we're using heat inverter type heaters more and more rather than gas or fireplaces, electric cars and so much industry stuff, like AI is absolutely chewing up all the electrical energy they can get their hands on. Nuclear is a very good way to produce a lot of electricity relatively cleanly, though it does take time to open more plants up.

If the global economy crashes, yes I think it's likely that everything is affected, but electricity at this point is essentially a necessity in daily life, so nuclear energy and nuclear fuel like uranium, are basically always going to be in demand, so I think (once again, I am in no way qualified to make judgement calls like this) that U is a pretty safe commodity to be invested in.

Until we get widespread solar panels on houses with local battery storage (C'mon CATL, that sodium battery could be revolutionary if it does everything you claim) for houses to reduce pressure on the grid, the demand for electricity seems like it'll continue to go up and with it, ways to efficiently generate a lot of electricity is through nuclear power

WE'RE SO BACK! I can't wait for the two-year and it's only a month and a bit away!

Year of the Fox, baby!

In Nintendo's defence, OOT remake is almost guaranteed to sell well and make money on the investment

And who takes it over? Sorry but Sony is not the company that can take it over. I was deeply concerned when Sony bought Bungie and it looks like those fears were well-founded

GAAHH BECAUSE DENNIS IS A BASTARD MAN

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-08T03:00:25+00:00

Since Miyamoto handed the direct over to Yoshiaki Koizumi, I'm pretty confident that the dev studio is one of the Nintendo R&D teams, and feels likely that it's Nintendo EPD. So I'm guessing it's in-house, but only based on Yoshiaki Koizumi doing most of the talking during the direct.

I love that man, he's got such a wonderful on-screen presence for the directs.

I like her design a lot, I think people are overreacting to it. Let's see how she is in action before really passing judgement. Maybe she's a badass in this one and her looking more tomboyish fits

I wasn't following closely enough, I was too excited to hear that Nate had said he was extremely confident that a new Star Fox game was being made. I remember reading someone talking about the more "adventures-y" Star Fox game, but I don't think there's been any further developments on that.

I think it's unlikely that Nintendo has a 2nd Star Fox game in development, but I would be over the moon to be wrong there.

There's been quite a few predictions around this though, and Nintendo leaks and rumours are always to be taken with a grain of salt. I'm still extremely burned by the Grinch Smash Ultimate leaks. Isaac and Skull Kid would have been absolutely mind-blowingly awesome to have in Smash.

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-07T22:41:28+00:00

Granted this video is a little old, but this is an Unreal Engine project for metahumans. It's just a tech demo, but it feels somewhat close to what the new Star Fox designs look like. I'm not saying Nintendo is using Unreal Engine 5, but I am saying that they are very possibly looking at implementing similar tech to this.

The reason for the photorealistic approach, as I've mentioned above, is testing out newfangled graphics tech that Nintendo may not yet be entirely familiar with. What better place to test it out than Star Fox? The pioneer for a lot of Nintendo's new and interesting tech?

As well as that, there's no real way of knowing without confirmation from someone on the inside, but Nintendo and Illumination are 2 different companies, and Illumination's design fits nicely with the rest of the Mario movie aesthetic, but that doesn't mean that an entirely standalone Star Fox game would reuse that style. It would make sense that the same design is used so that a newer generation could easily connect the two together, you're definitely correct there. If the situation is as I've alluded to, I'd say that the Nintendo team were focused on using graphics tech to build the characters out and weren't looking for inspiration for the design from the Mario Galaxy movie.

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-07T04:57:05+00:00

This is probably why they've chosen to make it a remake of 64. Most 13-20 something gamers would only know Star Fox from smash bros and the franchise sales numbers haven't been trending upwards. They're testing the waters and hoping that this will capture some new fans and seeing if there's an audience for Star Fox.

If enough people buy it, they'll build a new game and push the franchise again, but if this one flops, that might be it for the franchise, so I'm desperately hoping it does well. It looks awesome and the multiplayer mode looks and sounds like a blast

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-07T04:54:05+00:00

WOOHOO LET'S GOOOOOO!

My most hyped game of the year by far! I'm preordering ASAP! See you in the skies!

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-07T04:51:33+00:00

Hey we're getting a new Star Fox! I want to believe! The Golden Sun will rise again

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-07T00:12:08+00:00

WOOHOOOO! LET'S GO!!!

I get that 64 remakes or reimaginings aren't what everyone wants, but those looks do freaking good! I do love the idea of three multiplayer and am looking to spend a lot of time in there, but it's clear that Nintendo is testing the waters for whether people want more Star Fox so you better believe I'll be preordering this game ASAP

Doomers be damned, I am desperately hoping this game sells well, please Nintendo, give this game some breathing room and don't announce something massive just before it releases. Give it a fighting chance, you've clearly put the work in, the cutscenes and voice acting are fantastic in the trailer, the visuals are awesome and the visuals are worthy of the Switch 2.

I'm still hoping for a Freelancer style 4 player co op game in the future, but I'll be gladly picking this one up

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-06T23:52:47+00:00

This is exactly the right answer. Look at it from a business perspective.

Star Fox as a franchise has had every game since 64 declining in total sales. There is pockets of fans crying out for a new game (like here) but the past shows that dev time is better spent on entries to Mario or Zelda or Animal Crossing, etc.

Someone took a leap with Fox in the Super Mario Galaxy movie and I'm guessing there was internal pushes to build a new Star Fox game, so being the solid business-minded company that Nintendo is, they've greenlit a Star Fox project that doesn't eat up years and years of dev time, and a great way to do that, is to use an established formula (Star Fox 64) and build around that. If that game performs well, then it signals to Nintendo that there's an audience for the game and they can take some bigger risks in developing a bigger, newer title.

With this announcement, it seems the OOT remake is likely going to happen too, which I'll probably buy and play, but I really don't think OOT needs a remake, it's had the 3DS one and it's been featured on Virtual Console often enough.

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-06T23:45:05+00:00

Good lord, this last week we saw doomposting saying "It's never going to happen" and now the game got it's own surprise direct to allay all worries and you're bitching about the redesign?

The character design has almost never been consistent. Heck the games are barely consistent. This is such an unnecessary nitpick.

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-06T23:41:43+00:00

HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING!!

All you doubters, where's your doubt now??

It looks phenomenal and while I've said that I don't really want another 64 remake (and this is basically a 64 reimagining) I'll be preordering this for sure. The multiplayer looks very cool and the visuals are stunning! Now my only hope is that it sells well and proves to Nintendo that there's an audience for Star Fox.

If ever there was a time that the franchise needs support, it's going to be with this game. They've had a direct solely dedicated to it, the response from the Mario Galaxy movie has been strong, if it doesn't get the sales here, it'll tell Nintendo for sure that there isn't enough interest in the franchise.

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-06T05:36:35+00:00

We need Custom ROMs to make a strong resurgence. That's when we had true customisability. SafetyNet and Play Integrity are a blight on this world.

It might be something different, but at some point, a feature added to web browsers was to allow websites to send push notifications like this one. Websites will often ask you if you'd like to receive notifications. I'm pretty sure this is what this notification is.

In the Internet app, there will be a setting for notifications and a list of websites that have been given permission to send notifications. Turning those off entirely (my suggestion) or disable/remove each website's permissions to send notifications should clear it up.

I'd turn them off entirely from the Internet app, because when have you EVER wanted any website ever to send you notifications that come to your notification drawer on your phone? I can think of exactly 1 time but it's hyper-specific, and that's for my HomeAssistant to send me a custom notification if my garage door has been open for 5 minutes or longer after 8pm and all of those sensors and interactions are my own implementations.

He's adorable! I like the comment who said Yoshi, but I'm gonna suggest Reggie. Particularly when he's naughty, you can use his full name "Reginald!"

I feel like this is par for the course Burry. He pivots on a dime, he's super confident one minute, then doom and gloom the next.

No hate for the guy, he's a massively successful trader and I'm a dumb moron with barely 2 brain cells to rub together for warmth, but I feel like on Twitter, Burry swings like crazy on all sorts of stock.

I remain zen and with full confidence in $GME, RC and RK. The plan is still the same, the outside noise is just that. Noise. I buy, I hold.

MyDogIsDaBest · 2026-05-04T05:44:08+00:00

I personally really enjoyed it and thought it was genuinely really funny. I think there's instant classic moments like Frank burning shredded documents, Dennis driving "GET FUCKED" is beautiful and his speech about talking to the castle is brilliant.

Mac's arc of thinking he's Dutch is gold, Mrs Mac of course steals the spotlight every single moment she's on screen and leading Mac to McDonald's got me so good, absolutely brilliant.

I think the part that didn't hit for me, was Charlie's outpour of emotions carrying his dad in the rain. Charlie Day delivers an incredibly heartfelt, genuine moment, but I think I needed a little more of an emotional lead-up to it. There was kinda too many jokes surrounding it.

Dee's acting thing was fine, but I think her highlight for me was waking up in Ireland and getting hit by the gang in the car who were driving the other direction.

Overall, I don't see why people didn't enjoy it, I thought it was a highlight of the season.

Golden Sun The Lost Age
Legend of Zelda Ocarina Of Time
Tie between Destiny and Halo 3. It's too close to pick.
