4 of the top 10 highest grossing movies are Marvel films. :psyduck: They're not dorky poo poo anymore, they're mainstream.

Taste is subjective and mass appeal is not indicative of quality.

Also gotta call myself out, was thinking of all the mega man stage themes for fun and couldn't recall Napalm Man's theme because it's super boring and sucks rear end, and also I forgot the second phrase of Gyro Man's theme but listening to it again was super pleasant and made the upper half of my face feel like a big tongue that just tasted an orange creamsicle. Anyways I had everything else down from a game I hadn't played or heard for 15 years so my donked up brain is still working pretty good in that category!

No one is talking about taste or quality and no pop culture is not subjective. It’s a very objective thing.

Pop culture just means popular, that is it

If you derail a derail, is it a rerail?

No.

Recently RE2 sold the superweapons you get for getting max rank on hard mode for $5. Is selling an easy mode like this more or less offensive than cuphead's gimped easy mode?

I just don't understand how you can live in society and not run into pop culture. Do you just not interact with other humans? I don't follow Marvel stuff because I don't really like it but I still run into captain America and Thanos memes on a daily basis.

More offense, cause Cuphead's easy mode is not only optional but also free.

I've seen my share of Captain America memes and let me tell you: it did not tell me anything about who Chris Evans is

I recognized his face and his name (but wouldn't be able to put one to the other), but otherwise, I'm pretty oblivious about Hollywood stuff. Not a matter of policy, just not really part of my interests.

The important thing to remember AND to put it in perspective is that Fire Emblem outsold tickets to Marvel movies. It's not weird to not know what Captain America is but you're clearly a space alien if you don't recognize the intricate differences of 40 anime characters all with the same face and huge fantasy trenchcoat armor.

It’s just more the fact they are here on this dead gay forum that I think is giving everyone pause. Also, while there are a lot of marvel movies that aren’t great, the batting average of them being okay is pretty good, and a few are fantastic. (Winter soldier being my #1

Is there anywhere else you'd expect to encounter them besides the last internet forum?

I put off Hollow Knight until it was on sale alongside $1 steam links. I put in 24hrs playtime in a week.

I still haven't plugged in the steam link.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of metroidvanias. The Metroid Prime games were fun but not really my thing. So I thought I'd just give this hollow knight thing a chance and... drat it's good.

I've been playing Tetris 99 because of the event thing, and while it's fun, it gets really frustrating by how random it is. One round I just play as best as I can and I get to top 20. Next round I'm clearing a couple lines and then I somehow get like 10 lines of garbage and it keeps piling on and I'm the 5th person knocked out within like 20 seconds. The next round, I get a notification on my phone and I'm looking at that. Then i look back and there's just pieces piling up in the middle and I make it to 75th place when the pieces pile up to the top. I just don't get how people are able to send several lines of garbage when I haven't even got enough pieces to even fill up a row yet.
