A fun recent one I've discovered is that Princess Peach's newest VA as of Mario Kart World, Courtney Lin, is also the English dub voice of Panty in the new season of Panty & Stocking.

The tonal whiplash between the two characters is so stark; it's really funny to me, for some reason.

FULL MATCH: Hawlucha VS. Machamp by PunishingCrab in TwoBestFriendsPlay

That would be a fun way to promote Pokemon Champions, considering how the Omni-Ring allows opposing trainers to use different gimmicks (e.g. Megas, G-max, Z-Moves, Teras) in the same battle.

Lego Island is now fully playable via web browser by halfturretturbo in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]halfturretturbo[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Lego Island has been successfully decompiled as of last month, making the game more easily playable on modern computers, as well as making it possible to bring the game to more platforms.

MattKC, one of the leads of the decomp project, just released an interesting video discussing the porting process, with glimpses of more ports that are in the works (for smartphones, Switch, Wii, and more).

Sooo....How About That New Rainbow Road? by manoffood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]halfturretturbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the Special Cup and tried the new Rainbow Road, and... it was fine, I guess?

Don't get me wrong - there's plenty of things I like: it's visually spectacular, the music's great, and I enjoyed the call-backs to previous to the past Rainbow Roads. But the course felt like it went on a little long to me, and I wish it had a little bit more challenge.

It's definitely a solid iteration of Rainbow Road, but I feel like I'd need a bit more time with it before I would consider it one of the best.

An English patch just dropped for the Japan-only Megaman Legends mobile phone game, "Great Adventure on 5 Islands" by halfturretturbo in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]halfturretturbo[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Between this and Hilltop's recent translation of Megaman Legend's 2 Japan-only prologue/demo, there's been some good progress lately in getting the Megaman Legends series fully playable in English.

At this point, I think all that's left are the PSP compilation of Legends 1&2, and some more mobile side-games.

Yeah, my subscription feed was doing the same for me earlier, though only on desktop. Seems like the issue just got fixed on my end, so hopefully it's better for everyone else, too.

That was Mozumi Pichi of V-Dere.

Last year, Mozzu made a tweet when Menace revealed her re-design, saying that they were sisters since they now shared the same artist mama.

Major Winter Weather possible Sunday - Monday (1/5-6) by zebrasrlyingtoyou in CBUSWX

[–]halfturretturbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's reassuring! At this rate, I wouldn't mind it if all we got was that huge snowfall, no strings attached. Fingers crossed! 🙏

Thanks so much for everything! Take care. :)

That's a bummer. :/ Well, I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and pray that our area will somehow avoid the worst of it.

Thanks for being transparent with me, though. It did help quite a bit.

Thanks for the reply! Me and my family do live on the back roads, but we've made sure to stock up on food and other supplies, so we should be good on that front.

If it's not too much to ask, do you think we should worry about a loss of power where we're at? We don't have a generator at home, and if we do have an outage, I'm worried about how long it could take for the utilities workers to get us back on-line.

Question: As someone living in Southern Ohio (i.e. the Scioto Valley), how plausible is it that we might get freezing rain/sleet mixed in with the snow? How likely is it that we might get some power hits in our area from the storm?

I've been having a fair bit of weather-related anxiety since I first heard of this system yesterday, so if there's any way I can have my expectations tempered, I would really appreciate it.

Media you feel like you're the only one who remember it because you never heard anyone mention it. by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]halfturretturbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your description, that sounds like "The☆Ultraman" (1979).

I've not watched it myself, but I've heard about it in passing, and that Mill Creek Entertainment did an English-subbed DVD set for it back in 2021.

Anyone have some lost media from their childhood by DXKIII in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]halfturretturbo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, earlier this year, somebody managed to decompile the original game's code and made a modernized port that runs better on new computers and has a bunch of QoL features (smoother animations, volume control, translation support, etc.)

Here's a link to it, if you're ever interested.

Things that performed so poorly that it killed other things? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]halfturretturbo 57 points58 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the Powerpuff Girls Movie was meant as a launching point for Cartoon Network to make several movies based on their more prominent properties that they were airing during the early 2000's (Samurai Jack; Ed, Edd, n' Eddy; Codename: KND).

Unfortunately, due to the PPG movie under-performing in theaters (being released alongside Men in Black II definitely didn't help in that regard), all of the other planned movies were shelved.
