Terrible Opinions posted:Kinda wonder if you'd be able to get away with some of the bigger movies that fell through the cracks the era of required copyright renewal. So like the original cut of Night of the Living Dead or It's a Wonderful Life with the music removed. To get to public domain It's A Wonderful Life you also have to cut out the entire bit where George sees the alternate life.

Good news for historians and collectors! Because for no-one else would it make sense to pack more games on your machine then you would ever feasible be able to try out in your lifetime. I'm now getting flashback to the time when people were so amazed with CDs they put thousands of games on them. For some reason this didn't obsolete all sane options for video games either.

The reason why those numbers tend to be big is because it's fed with giant rom sets that have like, every single gameboy game or atari game and so on, and since SD cards are getting more and more cheaper, filling those machines with every known game of a console from one's childhood is absurdly easy. Keep in mind we are filling up a 32GB sd card at least with titles that can go from a few Kb to a chunk of Mb, so it's easy to see why someone would be like "Oh I can just. shove the entire ZX Spectrum library on one of these things and it would barely hit 1% of the capacity. Huh, what ELSE can I shove on this". I mean you can easily just curate a small selection, scrape the art and be fine with a small device that runs your childhood set of games, and I imagine that's why the Nintendo Online\Mini or the Sega Mega Drive Mini services don't have huge galleries, other than licensing concerns. Still, those things took a while to become both marketable and cheap so that anyone can grab it, so seeing people who otherwise wouldn't be aware of these getting hype is almost like seeing those kids get super hype about those Famiclones that would be sold on cheaper markets, only the number is actually legit and you can put whatever old thing you want on a form factor that has buttons on it. It's the Patton Oswalt rant about telling 1995 himself about the Ipod, but about retrogaming enthusiasts. Kunster fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jan 11, 2022 |

Ailumao posted:Duwang is the Mandarin reading of the characters for Morioh (杜王). Duwang was done from the Chinese translations, not the Japanese, so early on the translator just did romanizations of the Chinese for names, which is why it starts with Koichi introducing himself as Guanglai Kangyi (u dont need to remember), the Mandarin reading of his name. New PBS Storied show called Fate & Fabled which starts off with The Fates of Greek Mythology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WC-zpVw-Xo

I havent watched Cinemasins in ages.. after watching it for far too long. It pains me to admit that the last straw that got me to stop was them overlaying bad music to counteract DMCA claims on their videos. Well that and their Kong Skull Island video. I missed the entire underlying bad vibe somehow. (Probably because I only heard a voice and didn't care about them beyond that) DeafNote fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jan 12, 2022 |

CinemaSins is still fine (not great, just...fine), and haters gonna hate. But I'm not going to try and start that derail again. Instead, here's an interesting channel I stumbled onto. A bunch of Canadian playing Warhammer 40k. The game is still absolutely incomprehensible to me, but the fun mood is pretty infectious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKCeIkKADGk

I actually didn't know cinemasins was still around doing their thing i knew someone who used to use cinemasins as a gauge of "oh, this movie is now available for rental/streaming!" but they have apparently been focusing on the money-makers and hence doing "dings" on older movies, including one recently which is a whopping 1+hour video on the whole Avengers franchise which I can't imagine anybody over 13 watching earnestly (especially as bobvids points out (latest video) a lot of the sins are being "i'm a horny 13 year old" like wanting harley quinn to strangle you to death with her thighs) anyway that bobvids video has a pretty good ending regardless of how much you like the c-sins so I would encourage watching it

I think I'm ready to dive down into the movie garbage bin. With the second Phantom of the Opera movie, Dear Evan Hansen and The Book of Henry especially, being absolute nonesense, I think I might be missing out and need to see more. Does anyone have any video recommendation? Because I just find them fascinating to listen to secondhand but I'm incapable of sticking that stuff out if I have to actually view it myself.Mr.Radar posted:New bobvids on how CinemaSins is (still) garbage: Wait, CinemaSins has writers?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TXn4I4qWJQ Also I agree with BobVids, I have no idea what Jeremy CinemaSins wants a movie to ideally look like in his eyes.

Every person on the internet who's tried to answer a question of that nature sincerely has put forth an answer that is either insufferably terrible, or looks like a mad libs remix of Patton Oswalt's Star Wars filibuster from Parks and Recreation, which is is to say insufferably terrible. When media illiterate people attempt to explain what they want media to look like, it's always a loving disaster.

It's really cool and normal how 20 years of anger over wavedashing makes people act and talk the way you act and talk. Sexual harassment and predatory behavior are horrifically endemic to esports and the world in general, but when the Smash community takes actual material steps to expel predators and improve community safety as a grassroots organization, chucklefucks like you decide to use those tragedies as ammunition against people you think are playing a video game wrong.

Acerbatus posted:what on earth is wrong with you I get frustrated when people use horrible poo poo as ammo for cheap shots. I've been directly involved in victim support and abuse investigations in the New York smash community. It's genuinely heartbreaking, awful stuff to see. It requires constant vigilance to keep creeps, fascists, and scam artists out of communities that are full of vulnerable people, including kids. Summer 2020 I had to deal with someone I used to consider a friend admitting to me the ways in which they preyed on a queer teenager. They knew it was wrong and that they needed help, but had no idea how to get it or how to make amends. No physical contact happened, there was remorse, the kid's okay - but it was heartrending. There are worse stories. People make cheap jokes about wavedashing, about people not showering, about sexual abuse. They treat those things as comparable problems, of equal severity and equal prevalence. It's not funny. Fortunately, as community leaders have emerged with better knowledge and the conviction to do what's right, the Smash community - Melee and Ultimate and PM and all - have in fact been working very hard to clean this poo poo up, and to make tournaments a safe place to be. Which is important, because fighting games attract younger, queerer, more neurodivergent, and less wealthy people, who deserve safe spaces to be themselves, practice the empathy and controlled aggression and confidence that FGs can teach, and build healthy peer relationships in an organized setting. House of 3000 requires parental accompaniment for younger teens and has a strict drug and alcohol policy to prevent misconduct before it happens. Coordinated tip lines make sure that tournament organizers know about bad actors and are accountable to one another. This isn't a joking matter.

The Saddest Rhino posted:What is wave dashing quote:A wavedash is a technique/physics engine exploit in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that is performed by air dodging diagonally into the ground, causing the character to slide a short distance. While it is uncommon in casual play, high-level play of Melee effectively requires proper use of the technique; the Melee community sees wavedashing as an advanced technique superior to dashing because it allows players to perform any ground action while moving horizontally on the ground. Use of the technique is especially important for the metagame of characters with poor traction, such as Luigi, Mewtwo, and the Ice Climbers, and almost every other character requires some use of wavedashing for positioning and maneuvering, particularly in combos and mindgames.

It happens everywhere but the smash community is doing the best it can with limited resources and is frankly outperforming a lot of other non-grassroots orgs and communities. Infiltration got welcomed back to Capcom Cup after a domestic violence conviction. Corporate eSports leagues are absolute nightmares of substance abuse and predatory behavior, too. These are endemic issues and singling out one game to pick on as uniquely terrible and worthy of mockery is deeply unproductive, especially when that game's community is way more transparant and forthright about its efforts to improve because of the relative lack of corporate support and big money changing hands.
