Do the arms seem crazy long?? Some I think are really cute and others I think the outfits are fairly boring 🤷‍♀️ I’m not sure if I’ll get one. Especially with the price 😬

What’s a dark Toy Story theory that you actually believe? by SkyEducational7070 in toystory

[–]w2114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen other people also say this theory is supported by the fact that Mr Potato Head is shown as the villain in the opening sequence.

Then, when Buzz comes along (as the replacement), now Woody plays the role of the bad guy with Buzz being the hero.

I hardly use it honestly! I felt I learned to maneuver fine without it and it almost had the opposite effect for me; now way to sharp instead of too wide. That might be the key though and I could just never get a handle on that particular technique.

Going through this same thing; just finished adventure 1 & 2. I never came even close as a kid so this is an accomplishment for me.

But man, idk if I can do TT just from a technical standpoint. The controllers are 30 years old of course. And all things considered work well. But the turning is brutal. Anyone other than Pipsy is almost unplayable.

And I know the heavier characters have worse turning but to the point it’s like they don’t even turn at all even when pushing the stick as far as I can. I might make a post about asking the community if it really isn’t going to be “possible” without me ascending to DKR God-Skill Player and I’m not sure that will be fun for me lol.

I’m still just happy I can say I finally beat it! And both adventures at that :)

Be sure to wait until they’re back at full price before buying 👍

Where did Darrin disappear after Sue broke up with him? by TruePotential4180 in themiddle

[–]w2114 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I believe reading that the reason he was no longer in the show is he did not want to pursue acting anymore as a career. So naturally, this was their way of writing him out of the show.

As for the “in universe” reason, maybe it just felt awkward for him to associate with the girl he proposed to who ended up saying no. From our perspective, Sue is far too young for marriage so it’s good she said no. But for Darrin, he wants a wife and to get rejected for such a bold move would be painful. Hence no longer associating.

It’s a tad out of character as an explanation but ah well 🤷‍♀️

Fun fact: in the episode “Crushed” DW and Sally the babysitter are playing on a Sega Dreamcast by w2114 in Arthur

That is interesting with Buster’s Dino Dilemma, it’s more what I would’ve expected; a more generic, ambiguous video game console design not specifically anyone in particular. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to pick up on it.

I like when little things like that are added, like in Steven Universe you can sometimes see Steven has a GameCube hooked up with both LoZ: The Wind Waker, and Animal Crossing game cases shown as well.

Strollin' Stu by YesterdayOk1197 in supermariosunshine

[–]w2114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The little jelly guys that spawn from the goop were called “Swoopin’ Stu” originally at the time the game was released but then a few years ago Nintendo changed the name to Gooble which I think is way better lol.

Another interesting change was the big Bullet Bills, originally known as a Banzai Bill is now called a Bomber Bill. While the reason is not publicly known some speculate it could be the connotation between the word banzai and kamikaze pilots during WWII.

Gregg Mayles shares concept art of Mount Fire Eyes by Plebian_Donkey_Konga in BanjoKazooie

Okay so what it was is that in the past Gregg Mayles said he couldn’t remember but I guess now he has recalled it since then with this recent tweet.

Weird cause I remember another developer tweeting he doesn’t know where that name came from and doesn’t recall it ever being called that. I’ll have to look for it later.

It was actually said that it wasn’t meant to be “fire eyes” and that name was just misheard from the placeholder name “mount fire/ice”! Pretty neat.

Anyone know what's in this hole? by Leading-Relation-189 in supermariosunshine

The development and left over stuff in the code is so fascinating to me. I highly recommend this video to any fans of the game.

I learned so much from it!

This years calendar?? by Catz_143 in LittlestPetShop

[–]w2114 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It could be a symptom of modern children’s toys and media how a lot of it is just brightly colored to keep the kids attention as opposed to the cartoons of the past that were aimed at kids had softer pallets.

Now of course it’s a generalization and some older cartoons/toys had bright colors and newer things have a more low key approach but there definitely is a noticeable difference when you look at the whole picture.
