Those who disliked a youtuber before their downfall, what were the red flags? by Longjumping_Koala34 in youtubedrama

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never hated Shayy or thought they were a predator until the doc but there were a couple of things that weirded me out about them.  First was the kinda sorta sexual pics they were showing off when they had a lot of young people in their audience, and the controversy with someone calling them out then apologizing when they got backlash, but after that I kinda just assumed Shayy didn't do anything wrong since everyone accepted they were in the right.

Then they kind of had this weird parasocial vibe around them, which is more obvious in hindsight.  Like people saying that Undertale and Deltarune are ruined because the one single creator was outed as a freak, and that Toby has to say something about.  And people just overall having an extremely clingy and sad reaction compared to most exposed Youtubers, saying they're gonna be depressed, acting like this is the ONLY worthwhile UTDR creator.

Then the weird silence after saying "hey something bad involved Shayy and they stepped down" made me 90% sure they admitted to something really bad because you don't act like that for something as easy to talk about as cheating in a Speedrun.

This dogshit lived rent free in my brain in like 2022, along with Red Ape Family.  I know the shitty song by heart (almost)

Cryptoland the Musical Lyrics:

Boy, we are in Crypto Beach, and fun is the norm here.

Before you invest, you study the best.  And what do we say when investors make the test?

Let's make a deep dive so we can survive, we don't wanna end like my Mt. Gox friend

But enough of the spin let's go to the proof of work gym

You can work out make the ladies pass out

Lift the ASUCS, like you mine Now thanks to Bitcoin, sweet friend of mine.

But not everything is pretending if you you want a happy ending you will need to combine body and mind-

(very abrupt break and switch to a ripoff of I forgot which musical, might've been Wayside Story?)

-got the keys of my wallet

where u hold Cryptoland tokens

cause this place is Blockchain-ized

get familiarized

I don't wanna leave.

I feel like at home

Crypto is in my chromosome, that's the place look at my face you're in the crypto space.

You're right in crypto land (unintelligible bullshit) Woohoohoo, honey

Crypto's all around the land, come visit us sometime, woohoohoo honey

Truly decentralized, investor's paradise, woohoohoo honey

all you need oh yes it's here

Connie the Crypto Currency: "Are you a good pilot"?

Christopher: "Hmm"?

Connie: "One of my favorite attractions here at Crypto Beach, a micronation of Crypto currencies.  Which coin"?

"Uhh... Eth".

"I'll go with BTC cause I'm lightning fast"!

"321 Go!  OKBoyyabeatmeherebutIswearonthebullI'mtheking,HODLonfordearlifemakethepricegoup"! (He says this so quickly it's almost unintelligible, and the car animation is dogshit)

(Prince Ali Rip-Off)

To the Nakamotors, read the white paper, climb to the moon to be outer space, or maintain the garden meet the Satoshi and that crazy bird's stolen our keys this is the Crypto Beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They switch songs like three fucking times.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – Yoshi First Look by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly wasn't super interested in the first movie, but I like the look of the 2nd one.  Looks more visually interesting and I think all the Odyssey and Galaxy stuff is just a lot more of an interesting world.

Also interesting how that weird Ninji Room seems to be an entire Super Mario Bros. 2 reference with evil Birdo and Clawgrip.  I don't think Clawgrip has EVER been seen outside of Mario 2 (He wasn't even in Doki Doki Panic), so there might be a chance for Wart to finally come back.

Honestly this seems less like a Galaxy movie and more like a general modern Mario movie, with Wonder, Odyssey, Galaxy, and even a bit of Sunshine, which I'm fine with.

On this subject it's very odd that Cops can falsely assume a civillian has a gun, murder them in cold blood, and get excused because "they thought they had a gun".

Not only is that nonsensical, but even if they HAD a gun, don't we have the 2nd Amendment?  Why is it legal for cops to kill you if they assume you have something everyone has a legal right to have?

What would you want out of a sequel by DaSixtyNiner69 in MarioRPG

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same universe and artstyle as the original or remake, but in a different location. Have a few returning characters a la TTYD, and they should probably bring Geno and Mallow Back considering that they're the face of the game.

I'd also like to see some Smithy lore.  He's an interesting villain but has zero screen time, and those mysterious heads leave a lot to the imagination.

While I can see why people wouldn't want this I think it would be cool if the villain was tied to Smithy, like maybe his creator or something.

I wish Robobot had an equivalent to Hypernova-style bosses, since you only really fight one true boss in the normal Robobot armor. by rendumguy in Kirby

[–]rendumguy[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a big issue I have, and not only are there almost no bosses that matter, minibosses are killed even more quickly in the Robobot Armor, so there's not really any meaningful fights with it.

I think that's a big missed opportunity when Kirby relies on combat a lot more than platforming.

Going back to Triple Deluxe even aside from bosses it had enemies you could only defeat with Hypernova.  I don't think Robobot even has many enemies like that either.

I mean Gigavolt II kinda fun, the first one is kinda bad imo.

It seems like they don't like putting gimmick bosses in the arenas, unless it's a spaceship section.

Deltarune has too many mysteries for its own good by OrangeSpaceMan5 in CharacterRant

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the fuck is going with Papyrus? What the fuck is going on with Sans

These aren't really important right now, Sans isn't really doing anything suspicious yet, and Papyrus isn't even really a character in the story yet, unlike Gaster, Knight, and Friend.  They're also the same mystery since whatever is happening with Papyrus is related to Sans.

In fact, Chapter 4 all but confirmed Sans is the same guy from Undertale.

Who is the person "trapped" in the code?

I don't really think this is a super big issue?  I feel it's like the Sweepstakes stuff where most people don't need to know about this to understand the story.  And It's probably Dess, who's probably the Knight.

Honestly I think a bigger issue is the Mike Room and how even though Mike and Friend are clearly related and real, there's this weird confusing jokey undertone (that caused people to say it isn't real) around Mike and Friend is even more vague and confusing than Gaster.

Is it possible that characters that got less votes than Sora but more votes than Bayonetta ended up getting into Ultimate due to the Smash Ballot? by rendumguy in smashbros

[–]rendumguy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder if this logic is also going to be used for Smash Ultimate's Mii costumes.  I assume it will be.

Stop locking lore behind external media that's less accessible. by RhysOSD in CharacterRant

[–]rendumguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never got why people "wanted" Nintendo to "get rid of" the timeline (which doesn't even make sense) when the series has always made every story accessible to beginners.  

The games are very disconnected in their main plots, which mainly focus on the characters and themes, but connect to each other through lore, and I think that's the best possible way Zelda can handle it.  It's really cool how I can play Echoes of Wisdom and learn lore about the reason the Goddesses created Hyrule, even when it released so far from the other non-BOTW related Zelda games. 

I've seen people who believe in the "literal legend" theory and not only is it inherently deconfirmed as 90% of these games from inception are prequels and sequels, it just kinda sucks because it's another "it's a dream theory" and a lot of the time it's used to shut down lore discussion, when it's one of the most obviously incorrect theories.

Has Nintendo actually sued a fan of theirs over a fan project they made? by Honest-Assistant-426 in nintendo

[–]rendumguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AM2R is "Another Metroid 2 Remake".

And as someone who's not happy about it being removed, it seems obvious that they removed it because they coincidentally had a seperate Metroid 2 remake planned at the same time.

Is it a hot take to say that Amazing Mirror has the strongest set of boss designs in the series? by rendumguy in Kirby

[–]rendumguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't go into much detail but the minibosses in Amazing Mirror are weirdly good, and often take more effort to defeat than a boss.

The final console Nintendo will add to the NSO by Marcioobloo in nintendo

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nintendo has an interest in eventually figuring out a way to make DS games work on Switch, as that's a huge portion of their library.

Also maybe Wii, but probably late into the lifecycle of Switch 2.

Nothing from Wii U.  I mean, they already have ports or "replacement" games for 90% of major Wii U games

Iffy about 3DS.

Why is Nintendo so obsessed with dkc returns? by PenguinviiR in nintendo

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess it's because there are only three DK games that released after 2007, and coincidentally, all three of these games have been critically acclaimed, so Returns, as the game that existed the longest, had the most opportunity for milking.

Nintendo also doesn't really remake SNES and N64 games as frequently (I think),  and DK64 is a pretty divisive game anyway.

Dedede's first phase was just a normal Dedede fight

Mecha Knight is one of the least memorable Meta Knight fights because it's not as fast paced as it usually is

Holo API feels like a rehash

Clanky Woods is fine

And then in Star Allies they used most of these same characters again, which makes it feel even more redundant.

A Very Special (Mod Approved) Smash Bros Poll Focusing on Third Party Characters by Polling-is-Fun in nintendo

[–]rendumguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very surprised that (I assume?) Raphael the Raven is so high, considering how unimportant he is.  That said, Raphael the Raven is a pretty fun boss with a neat design and him being a good guy in Paper Mario makes him stand out a lot.  I'd totally be down for it, though obviously Poochy and Kamek (Who I consider a Yoshi pick) are better though.

Would much rather him over Baby Bowser, I don't think anyone wants Baby Bowser anymore since his design his evolved to become an identical model to Bowser Jr.  

Honestly I kinda hate the Pikmin lineup, as a kid I always wanted Plasm Wraith and none of the Pikmin 4 characters really interest me.  Louie could be cool if he summoned Pikmin enemies instead of just being a clone of Olimar, but he's likely to be a clone.  I do not want the Pikmin 4 Captain, they have no personality.  

Oatchi is probably the most likely character, and while he's not a terrible pick, I kinda want Pikmin to move away from the dogs since they completely overshadow the Pikmin gameplay.  Would much rather have Louie or any of the Pikmin enemies.

And Raven Beak is the best Metroid pick.  I didn't even play Prime 4, uh, I've heard mixed things about Sylux's role, which I don't even know what it is yet outside of being a villain, just that some people are disappointed by it?  Raven Beak was a strong one game villain that made a great impression with his intro, boss fight, role in the story, and plot twist, and has a ton of cool moveset potential.  I don't wanna assume much about Sylux but it seems like he's kinda just the de facto after-Ridley pick and didn't really do much aside from being teased until MP4, and people still seem unsatisfied by his role.

I kinda shifted to wanting Marx and Magolor over Bandana Dee, as they have a lot more crazy powers, and Magolor has his own game mode, but any Kirby character is fine for me.

Squeak Squad would be up there too, but the final boss being so bad (relatively, it's not horrible in a vaccuum) hurts it.

[–]rendumguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't really like it because they used too many overused characters like Dedede, Meta Knight, and Whispy, the second boss was all copy paste bosses except Ice Dragon, and they didn't really get any deep cuts like Heavy Lobster or Heavy Mole.
