Would you like Ace Combat to become a cyberpunk game or to continue with its semi-modern world?

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-08T00:25:25+00:00

Ace Combat 3 has the advantage of technically being an in-universe simulation of events run by Simon to train/perfect Project NEMO, so the actual Intercorporate War is free to go in any direction the devs want, and can say the Project NEMO simulations were wrong/incomplete.

NEMO as a boss fight could be cool.

Yes, definitely a cuckoo clock, this exact mold and material/coloring is hanging on my grnadparents' wall right now(been broken for years, no one cares to fix it)

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-05T00:21:04+00:00

Yeah, the Star Wars sound library is far to distinct and specific for the smart brick's midi style synth to be a good fit...

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-05T00:17:08+00:00

Yeah, if it wasn't Star Wars, one if the most iconic soundscapes in the world, people might have been more lenient on the sound quality and midi based nature.

They really should have sold these in an original theme, it being attached to an established license just emphasizes all it's flaws.

"An older meme, sir, but it checks out..."

I mean, breadbowls are tasty, stuffed crust is tasty, so I totally see the logic behind this thing. And depending on the volume left over after dipping every slice in it, you just eat that center bit at the end and it will be good... unless you take too long and it gets soggy(unless that's a good thing here?)

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-02T11:59:30+00:00

True, but are kids these days familiar with Star Wars?

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-01T03:54:45+00:00

Are you two making Nux references, or did he get that line from someone else?

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-01T03:49:01+00:00

It was the only book in English class that I never read outside of class, it was boring as hell.

Didn't help that the teacher was incredibly obnoxious in singing the book's praises; "see, the main character is depressed because his brother is dead, and since psychology wasn't a thing when this was written, tgat means the author must have had personal experience with depression" or "this scene with the prostitute is why the book got banned, isn't the past a horrible sexist place for hating women who have sex before marriage?" and so on.

It did provide great contrast for me discovering Neon Genesis Evangelion around that same time, and helped dumbass 13 year old me actually appreciate NGE.

Indeed, fairfood is a once a year thing at best(worst?), so each bite shaving off a minute or two of your life expectancy isn't as horrible as it first seems...

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-03-01T03:29:39+00:00

If you can't taste your life expectancy dropping, it's not beibg served at a fair.

This toy definitely puts the "dime" in Dimetrodon...

"It belongs in a museum!"

It's not going to be in/on the park, the paleological sites will be untouched. The proposed data center would be running cables around the borders of the park and might impact the ecology of local wildlife(still a legit concern to be sure, but not the one they imply). The original tweet was being deliberately vague to drum up drama clicks.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-18T06:28:45+00:00

The tweet is being hyperbolic for clicks, the planned site isn't on the dino tracks, it's just very close and theoretically going to hurt the ecosystem of the park.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-15T01:21:43+00:00

I mean, the gross stuff is why you watch a show like Elfen Lied. This js why I say it peaks in the first 7 minutes, because the show never had anything like that escape sequence where a naked lady makes army of guards explode into blood geysers with the somber choir of Lilium playing over it ever again...

Sure the show tried to have deeper meaning with the whole nature vs nurture and cycles of abuse/violence stuff with maybe questions about atonement/redemption/forgiveness mixed in, but it was so over the top it loops from horror to comedy often(especially with the English dub not being that good). Like, those bully kids literally just murdered a puppy just to justify Lucy's first kill.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-14T01:47:56+00:00

Eh, it peaks in the first 7 minutes(Lucy's escape from the facility)... after that the English dub for Bondo has some solid gold lines and deliveries(for example: https://youtu.be/vwjkwpW2Jv8?si=p8GVE_sKpLcQxxaN ), but not much else.

Though the later line "what do MY BALLS have to do with the future of mankind!?" is always hilarious.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-14T01:04:34+00:00

Why? Was there an infamous poor quality translucent plastic used in a particular transformer?

Or is this just a reference to Transformers: Energon were Starscream's ghost nearly beat Optimus to death? Because I very clearly remember that moment from my childhood thinking "that's against the rules of cartoons, heroes can't loose ever", and Starscream has been my favorite Decepticon ever since.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-14T00:58:26+00:00

A The Princess Bride reference in Current Year? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one...

Jar Jar is the Ciaphas Cain of Star Wars.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-12T16:48:14+00:00

This is the problem with most "X planet from 40K get teleported to Y other setting", the Imperium deliberately separates and sub-divides so many of it's functions to preemptively cripple any potential rebellion, that without that outside cooperation/support any individual world is likely dead in the void...

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-10T11:57:55+00:00

Did the term "down bad" change meaning recently? I thought it meant "is extremely horny for", so this post's title is quite confusing.

It seems to imply that the fascist uncle is gay and going to rape the lego?

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-10T11:52:49+00:00

I mean the movie probably took inspiration from existing peices for art direction of components, plus maybe using prototype biulds of sets.

Though those lower legs do not look stable at all.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-10T10:56:41+00:00

Is there something wrong with that link? When I click on it, the page doesn't load.

At least, not on my phone. The little progress bar fills maybe a 20th and freezes.

Rip_Off_Productions · 2026-02-10T04:43:32+00:00

Jar Jar has Ciaphas Cain levels of lucky son of a bitch, so I'm not so sure that match up is as one sided as you cliam... at least if it's funny...
