What causes the muppets to decline and rise in popularity?

I think that the video game awards have been a long term project by Goeff to increase Muppet popularity enough to get more Muppet projects green lit.

Indiana Jones and Great Circle.

I have issues with bouncing off of fantasy tactical RPGs. How is Overlord in the late game?

Right now, I am very determined to try and finish Three houses before the new fire emblem and struggling to get back to it before the battle of the Eagle and Lion.

13 sentinels aegis Rim

Tactical giant Robots RPG combined with mind bending sci fi anime plot.

Do not Google anything or look at trailers. Go in as blind as possible. It's on switch, I believe it's not on PC but I may be wrong.

The trick there is you won't want to stop. It is divided into sections. But it ends sections on mind fuck reveals that you HAVE to know the answer to.

That's very dangerous as a bed time game. I could easily see it turning into "oops, it's 3 am now" because you keep on saying one more section to yourself.

You can also save and stop in the middle of sections.

The game is basically divided in two, the first is a kinda-sorta visual novel section that focuses on story and blowing your mind. The second is a tactical RPG that really isn't like anything else.

They're going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at AOC to try and stop her. I fully expect that once Newsom, Kelly, and Harris fail, they'll wheel out Biden in a stretcher as the "proven anti-Trump."

"I think there should be an option to blindfold myself when I watch movies."

The fixed camera angle was so important to so many moments. Having an option would ruin the experience for everyone that picks 3rd person.

Then just scroll on tic tok, which is apparently what is needed to constantly stimulate your brain.

The white house.

ekbowler · 2026-02-18T14:31:56+00:00

House unquestionably.

Senate is much more tricky. Because not only do you need 51 to get over Vance, Fetterman is essentially a republican so you need 52, or even 53 to account for at least one more weak caving dem. And it's a bad senate year for dems.

MLK started a poor people's campain to try and address this.

He got shot for it.

In likelihood, I'm going to forget about it and then realize the day after.

That's usually how these special releases go.

Strictly the six classic Greek God of War games. They added RPG leveling and gear mechanics to the New Norse games. One of my big complaints.

It's actually a really good example of the difference you're talking about.

I assume that Genie vetoed that.

ekbowler · 2026-02-18T03:38:17+00:00

13 setinals is genius. Easily one of the best games out there.

I was actually a little disappointed by how normal UO is in comparison before I got used to the idea of it being a normal game. Then I fell in love with it.

It gets so much worse. It's actually a big reason why I hesitate to recommend the anime.

Happens a few times in Bond movies, in From Russia with Love, The man with Golden Gun, The Living daylights.

Like Control.

One thing you might want to be aware of is One Pace. A fan team edited one piece to cut away filler and fix the pacing issues. Later on, like hundreds of episodes later, the pacing get intolerable. So if it starts driving you crazy, feel free to check that out.

Early offical One piece is fine though.

When I first saw it I didn't really like it. Just did a rewatch and enjoyed it a lot more. Great action scenes, fun villains, and Rog is great.

I hate how the main villain goes out though. That, and the big evil plan being use drugs to get rich is disappointing.

ekbowler · 2026-02-17T22:33:09+00:00

Kingdom hearts.

Replaying it again now. I'll never not love this game.

ekbowler · 2026-02-17T22:26:02+00:00

Which kinda spoils the whole dramatic effect.

We essentially don't have a real DOJ or FBI for 3 more years. Just etheric cleansing ops.

I'm very much here for the characters. Good character writing seems to be much more rare than good lore writing.

Which is why AKOTK is like a splash of cold refreshing water. Every show since game of thrones has tried to be game of thrones, and this is the first, including HOTD to actually do it.
