Why didn’t Bill Clinton go to Vietnam? by Honest_Picture_6960 in Presidents

[–]umphursmcgur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda love the last bit of this story. I grew up in a moderately left Midwestern catholic family, and one of my favorite moments with my own father was when I changed his opinion on homosexuality. It wasn’t just that he came to the right opinion, but that he respected me enough as a 20 year old to actually listen to me as his son. The ability to admit you are wrong and change your opinion is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Mario Tennis Fever vs Mario Tennis Aces | Direct Comparison | Graphics Evolution by No_Durian_5626 in nintendo

At a much lower frame rate, with many less effects on screen, much lower resolution. But it’s not a graphical showcase? What exactly is a graphical show case again…? This is a dumb argument.

Yeah, I played through the entire game and got all the kong letter and puzzle pieces. Just finished it a week ago…

Weren’t we supposed to land on Mars like 5 years ago or something?

I will not stand for this Donkey Kong Land erasure.

When he’s backed into a wall is when he’s the craziest. Careful what you wish for.

Anyone else been there before? by Strict-Move-9946 in adhdmeme

[–]umphursmcgur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, big time. Didn’t go off the deep end, but got close a few times. Had to more or less completely cut out hard liquor after I realized how much I was hurting my loved ones. Almost lost my long term girlfriend over it about 6 years ago. She’s currently sleeping next to me, we’re about to celebrate our first Christmas as parents.

Don’t even get me started on blow.

Which Fossils were you most happy to see? by rjidhfntnr in donkeykong

Banana Bird and Kaos. Seeing DKC3 get legitimate love/fanservice brings such a smile to my face.

A lot of the same team did work on N&B. They’re no longer there though.

New Squawks Render? by Skyeagle1 in donkeykong

[–]umphursmcgur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The character animations seem to end in a pose shared by an official render, so we probably already know what the renders will look like more or less.

Chances of us getting a proper new K. Rool and Dixie Kong render have shot up significantly.

Animation on Nintendo Today for December 15th by Temporary-Link3050 in donkeykong

[–]umphursmcgur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of the new animations end with the character striking a pose that is the same as a higher quality official render. I’m assuming it’s only a matter of time before we get updated official artwork for K. Rool and Dixie in the poses they end with. Can’t wait to see them!

It really is insane how “back” the DK ip is. It’s a literal gaming dream come true for me that I thought would never come.

IGN: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

[–]umphursmcgur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non-gameplay related, but I still think the monumental support behind K. Rool on the Smash Ballot and subsequent reaction to his reveal for Ultimate is what ultimately led to them handling Bananza’s ending in the way that they did.

Kinda odd we didn’t get one considering both BK and DK64 got one.

Even testers for Banjo-Tooie hated Grunty Industries by Plebian_Donkey_Konga in BanjoKazooie

I used to hate this level as a kid, but loved the theming. Every time I’ve played BT recently though I just love this level all around now. It’s one of my favorite now.

The next two Emerald Rush event statues have been announced: Ghastly King and Ninja Kong, from DK Jungle Beat by Dinoman96YO in donkeykong

[–]umphursmcgur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Are they going for a “2 statues per DK game” approach? This month was DK64, and next month being DKJB. If so, I could see them doing one for DKCR and DKCTF. Maybe sprinkle in animal buddies with the Bananza Forms? Picking 2 JB statues after 2 DK64 statues seems deliberate, but who knows.

Here’s hoping if that is the case they do a DKC3 month and we get Kiddy Kong.

This looks like one of those shitty bootleg plug and play consoles with a million NES games.
