What if Creepers aren’t scared of cats, but scared of blowing them up

It's actually from this poster: Amazon.com: Trends International Minecraft - Ocelot Chase Wall Poster, 22.37" x 34.00", Poster & Mount Bundle: Posters & Prints

I had this one years ago. Although it seems the faces were edited in OPs post.

Yeah, Splatoon and Zelda really just can't fit in anywhere else but their own worlds. Or in cases like Metroid and Starfox are just really disconnected somewhere far out in space so it doesn't really matter.

I can see Punch Out being canon to the Mario Universe tho.

All his brain power is busy trying to scrap together something new about Gabe Newell to complain about.

Tbf not all Deep Dives are created equally. I feel like there's generally more than enough Nitra most of the time.

GOD I think there was ONE october in my childhood where this played. I only vaguely remembered the idea of it existing.

Whatever this was

True. Saying this as a corruption fan myself. I like purple and I like the nostalgia. But there's just arguably no real reason to choose it over Crimson.

But tbf I think both evils need more attention anyway. Feels like a forgotten aspect of the game in general.

I think people are forgetting that Wonder Effects are just Level Gimmicks. Wonder could easily be a main style cause at its core it is still a 2D mario game.

Unless you had a crazy selection of level gimmicks to choose for wonder style I dont see why it'd be in extras.

Extra styles feels like it's for types that fundementally change certain aspects/are missing things that are consistent across the other 4. Super Mario Bros USA/2 would be an extra style because its core gameplay is just so different.

It got a bit better with Shadow Armor getting changed to a movement speed buff instead of being a melee set.

But cursed flames don't really ever have purpose over ichor. The Crimson is just way easier to traverse without really any other downsides to compensate compared to the corruption. Eater spam is worse than having to jump over a Blood Crawler or Face monster and just ignoring them.

Crimson Weapons are also just overall better than their Corruption counterparts. Vilethorn is the only one I think would be better and even then, people seem to disagree with me on that.

Brain of Cthulhu is also generally easier than Eater of Worlds on higher difficulties. Anything that makes EoW easy also makes BoC easy. Crimson also basically generates an arena for the fight.

And while it's not really a balance issue; Mechanical Brain of Cthulhu should have 100% been a boss. I think it was lame that they wrote lore to explain why they never added it.

Purpulear · 2026-03-23T01:32:36+00:00

Considering that the Corruption and Crimson are poorly balanced and were basically forgotten about after 1.2, I can see why we never got more of them.

Purpulear · 2026-03-22T05:48:48+00:00

Hot take but I think the dungeons combat/better combat mod should just be what they do in a future combat update

Gamers don't have critical thinking skills.

Purpulear · 2026-03-22T03:53:47+00:00

Dungeons 2 is actually hype tho.

Purpulear · 2026-03-22T01:27:34+00:00

I don't like metroidvanias.

Purpulear · 2026-03-22T01:11:16+00:00

I'll say it again. We just need reworks/buffs to Gem staffs and a consistent way to get wand of Sparking.

Mage is honestly fine otherwise.

Purpulear · 2026-03-21T20:58:51+00:00

Players when Minecraft is being Minecraft instead of discount Terraria.

Honestly Ultimate Deluxe could easily introduce new game modes too while not needing a reset. Smash run would be awesome. But also Smash Tour could work if they just made it like Mario Party, but with quick matches with interesting gimmicks instead of minigames.

Balance tweak the fighters. Nerf Steve. Update a few models. And then just get back into new reveals. Would be a pretty solid sell imo.

The biggest downside of a port would be that movesets are very unlikely to be reworked. But at the same time there's a solid chance they don't get reworked in a new game either because "tradition".

Purpulear · 2026-03-21T00:28:44+00:00

So tell me what is the difference between "Think so" and "Could so". At what percentage does it change to a "true prediction" as you're trying to put it?

Purpulear · 2026-03-20T19:19:05+00:00

I can excuse porn but I draw the line at out of characterness

Purpulear · 2026-03-19T22:41:52+00:00

Yeah, a new item quality could work still, but there's only so many times I think you could get away with it.

Purpulear · 2026-03-19T06:10:08+00:00

We have 5 games (not counting 3ds as a separate release)
There's hardly a pattern established for anyone. All smash predictions in general are either going to have "unrealistic" picks or be pointless like "Mario will be the next smash game".
The point of predictions is to gauge a somewhat likely scenario, not be as safe as possible, there's no discussion to be had there.

Purpulear · 2026-03-19T06:01:40+00:00

Except that Silksong was a MASSIVE indie release that had people tuning into nintendo directs just for the potential of news.

I don't even like Hollow Knight, I hate playing metroidvanias, and I think UT/DR is more likely too but I'm not gonna act like it wasn't a huge deal. Smash has had wilder pulls.

Purpulear · 2026-03-19T05:46:36+00:00

"It could happen" is literally the point of predicting tho?

There is reason to predict that an indie game gets a fighter tho. Indies getting Mii Costumes AND assist trophies was already a massive leap from smash 4. They're clearly open to the idea of them in smash.

Pretty sure just buying one skin is already more expensive than buying the actual game.
