    Very much did not break my statement about Pokémon cards from yesterday. Literally I bought was three single boosters, one of those three packs of boosters with a promo card and a pin, and a couple of mini-tins with a couple of boosters (and some other gubbins inside them).

    Look when I said 'standard packs', I basically meant like 'not buying anything like big tins and other stuff like that'. With the exception of these two small tins and their gubbins, everything other than the cards is just gonna be thrown out after I open it. (I'm not going to be buying cards every single time I go out either, hell I'm gonna be taking a nice long break from anything other than regular shopping [and the stuff I need for my laptop when I get that back] anyways. So you know if I'm shopping for groceries at Walmart and toss like a couple of packs in the cart once every few trips, let me dammit)

    Pretty sure I spent like $120 on Pokémon cards today.

    Not too bad, all things considered but I'm definitely going to be taking a break from buying anything more than standard packs after tomorrow (I'm going to the third biggest mall in the country and taking the train to boot)

    Why are some Mario fans so adamant that there must be some secret drama between Charles Martinet and Nintendo and that's why he's no longer voicing him in the games like goddamn the dude nearly 68 years old.

    people just assumed that there's bad blood between the two parties and not an unanimous decision, probably because he wanted to keep going with voicing mario for as long as possible- he's mentioned it numerous times

    but he's getting old, and if this new video's anything to go by, any quarrel between anyone anywhere has been squashed long beforehand

    I'd argue 68 isn't even that old (Tom Kenny is 61 and Frank Welker is 77 for example and both have done a far far more taxing roles than Martinet; I get bodies detoriate at different rates but I'm not sold on 68 being "too old") but whatever. I'm not even saying Martinet is a "poor bullied tragic individual" and I don't like to insinuate that I'll come to his defense (I won't even care if AI voices Mario from now on), I don't like the entire situation because just seems sketchy.

    im sorry but everything about this situation is largely suspect: the odd abrupt timing, combined with my general intense distrust of the game industry for many reasons, and the limited facts we know (martinet claiming he wants to voice mario until he dies; also martinet apparently saying that if he can't do the voice accurately any more he'll get an understudy) including the recent thing where Doug Bowser was saying Martinet would be happy to discuss about his new role and Martinet then saying he has no idea wtf he's going to do; the recent very awkward video; they don't add up. "ambassador" remains an elusive term whose vague definition calls more to pr damage control or marketing buzzword than any explanaiton. the new voice actor remains at large (why? we don't know. it could be protection from harassment? or something more sketchy. yes i know im capable of good faith reasons for this.) "he's old" is not a convincing defense either.

    and to be frank, i don't appreciate the attempt here at a dissmissive mocking strawman of people who don't really like the current hand being dealt. not at all. that's not cool. i feel my views are misrepresented and mocked. you can disagree respectfully: i think my concerns are valid and i stand by them.

    y'all remember how nintendo decided to put the power button on the 3DS is the exact same spot as the start and select buttons on every DS model since the DS Lite?

    Yeah, that's definitely inconvenient, as I'm always afraid I'm accidentally gonna press the power button and shut off my game whenever I want to save my game.

    Objectively the worst part of liking children's shows as an adult is other adults who like these shows but refuse to accept that they're for kids.

    @Master Toadsworth I mean I'm specifically talking about stuff where the target audience for the series is children (but can be enjoyed by adults as well) but some adults in the fandom can't grasp that and want the series to start containing more 'mature' adult content not realizing that like...no a series where the target demographic is like 12 year olds is not going to suddenly start having like the main characters kill the villains or whatever.

    You telling me I wasn't the target audience for Amphibia and that the creators weren't specifically trying appeal to my tastes???

    No, I disagree that most animated shows are for general audiences, because that's far too wide of a net to cast to even get any audience. They're heavily made in mind for kids in that target demographic (something like Fairly Oddparents and My Little Pony is absolutely targeted for around the 10 year old demographic). The primary thing that also gets adults hooked onto is simply just compelling writing, characters, story, presentation, etc, practically anything that makes your show interesting and fun to watch. Something like Seasons 1-3 Spongebob is just very well-written, targeted for kids, but has well-researched humor that breaches the age difference.

    i mean i'm still lesbian too and if people don't like it, they can stay mad in all honesty.

    You know, this kinda fits with Animaniacs.

    Triplets born = The Warner Siblings

    The throne awaits = The siblings were once great

    A seer warns of a deadly fate = CEO orders the siblings to be locked up

    Give up your children, separate = The Warners are locked away in the water tower

    Bide your time, lie in wait = The Warners eventually escape the tower and begin causing havoc

    then again its a stretch

    If you put Princess Viola in your MarioWiki identity field, it should pop up near your pronouns whenever you post. I don't know if you're on the wiki or not, but really you can use it just for the sake of easy identification, especially if someone doesn't have sigs on

    I mean sure, if it's something culturally significant like music, then yes, it would be good to preserve it, and you don't need specific hardware or anything to do so. But video games are such a small part of history, and the requirements to preserve them so high, I don't think they'll mean much 100, heck 50 years from now. Partially because I guaran-damn-tee you that there'll be something, a war or terrorist attack or something in the next 100 years or so, probably in our lifetime, that takes away a lot of the technology from the past 130 years. Then we'll be back to living how we did for the first 6000 years of history and the Marius and Zeldys will be the last thing on our mind.

    'I guarantee some horrible disaster will happen in our lifetime that sets us back to the 1800s technology-wise' isn't the argument against video game preservation that you think it is fam.

    More like the behavior they still had a record of right through the show ending.

    Though of course it's not all bronies, but some of them.

    I love MLP: Friendship is Magic myself and used to consider myself a brony, but decided to take that label back of myself this decade considering it has the connotation that I'm fixated on the show with no other hobbies which I'm not. Plus yeah the MLP fandom has definitely a bad rap of some of them being inappropriate with their obsessions, even by cartoon fandom standards.

    There's one reviewer of Friendship is Magic I watch who pointed out that the people in the MLP fandom doing abysmal crud and then judging other people for not instantly forgiving them, has some parallels to the problem the show had of characters committing horrible actions and then instantly being forgiven with no consequences just for briefly feeling remorse. Where in both situations "forgiveness is everything" is not as appropriate of a mindset as it sounds on paper, especially when then the perpetrator most likely won't feel as bad as being left on their own to really think about the effects of their actions.

    @Discord I was only into the show during the very early days and while some of it was because I didn't really enjoy it that much, I'd be lying if I said another reason why fell off it wasn't because of just how common it was to find...adult-aimed MLP fanart posted publicly in places where minors (including myself, since I was like 14-15 at the time) could find it and then some bronies would get super mad and defensive when people would tell them to not post that shit in places where underage fans can easily encounter it. 🤢🤢🤢🤢

    And yeah it's obviously not all bronies who were like this but even still.
