If you have a savefile for Mario Galaxy it unlocks Rosalina. That's how I got her for my son years ago.

Maybe this is too reductive, but I’m getting the feeling that the witch vs wizard war that has been going on for hours now is more about whether you prefer anime or heavy metal album covers

I suspect VV was absorbed because the Blizzard part needed to get SOMETHING out this year and VV was already working on a Diablo 2 remaster

Overwatch 2 is essentially the story mode that all that lore was being wasted not having except they decided to make it a separate game.

when I was a kid I insisted on the following binding for MMX4-6

R1 dash
R2 shoot
L1 jump
L2 special

(or something I’m actually having trouble recalling it)

And you know how you’ll make up ways to make games multiplayer as a kid, so my friends and I would trade off controllers each level. And I insisted on rebinding the controls. Every. Single. Time

It's essentially an expansion with a big fancy relaunch. It carries over all of your skins and progress and stuff and has crossplay with Overwatch 1 so it's probably easier to think of it as a big paid expansion than a sequel.

Path of Exile is doing basically the same thing with Path of Exile 2--it's more of a huge expansion with system overhauls than a sequel--but it didn't create quite the confusion Overwatch 2 did because PoE is free so they're not asking you to buy another $60 game.

Huh. Kinda takes the wind out of the sails for the upcoming Blizzcon. Sounds like we're going to get a lot of info on the next World of Warcraft retail patch and classic expansion (Burning Crusade), but only teaser stuff for D IV and Overwatch 2 then. Lame lame lame.

I'm listening to the original Silent Hill soundtrack, having never played the game, and I gotta say it's pretty good.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Strangely enough, I think some of the best music in the series are actually in Silent Hill 4 and Silent Hill: Origins. Room of Angel and Illusion in me are legitimately good songs.

people still use animate, but there is also a large amount of people who use either Toon Boom Harmony or TVPaint. Toon Boom originally had a lot of features Flash didn't, which they've slowly caught up with. You no longer need vCam for example to have full scene camera tracking. TB had some bone manipulation warping that allowed for much easier handling of doing things like easing hair animation-- you'll notice it in stuff like MLP, Star Vs, etc, where people's hair bobs a lot and it's because deformation was a lot easier to do in TB for a long time while Flash's IK was extremely rudimentary... now Animate has a mesh warp thing that is relatively similar enough, and the IK iirc can create curvature on bends.

TVPaint is basically if you just want no-frills hand drawn animation. It's purely raster and so it has a lot of natural brushes ala Photoshop to have a more authentic look

some buckwild people animate in Photoshop and Blender but those aren't really intended for animation so it's not ideal

I love blender but still haven't so much as touched any of their 2D tools. personally if im already in blender wouldnt be able to help myself trying to go 3d. I did a bunch of little animations recently in photoshop, and a lot of it ends up being forced into frame-by-frame drawing since you can really only nudge individuals layers by flat xy pixels and you can really only choose to ever tween one thing and have to manually get there for other elements. Gonna check out TVPaint next, other one is a bit too expensive for my unprofitable personal works haha.

Beaglerush (the big XCOM guy) absolutely hates Phoenix Point and even thinks Gears Tactics was alright so I'm really hesitant to try it out. Maybe it'll be the free game on Epic eventually

Gears tactics is alright. Its kinda a boring slog but not explicitly terrible at any point. Just overly focused on being in overwatch because characters move too slowly to get anywhere on the giant maps with enough action left to attackl

Yeah, Gears Tactics is best described as "surprisingly good for an SRPG based on the Gears of War series," but it's otherwise not remarkable. It's not terrible, but unless you're a fan of the series, there are just better games to play.
