i think you'll find that the body shaming and racism fit the theme of the game, so they're very good and unassailable actually

The actual plot of Banjo is that the fat, ugly witch wants to be hot and thin, so she steals banjo’s girlfriend Tootie who is slim and pretty and wants to cast a spell to steal her looks. The entire game is Grunty the witch complaining about being fat and ugly.

Then on top of that (bear in my it’s been about 20 years since I played it) Kazooie is just constantly making fun of everyone for being fat and ugly and stupid. Her only personality trait is being mean and calling everyone names. She definitely has some choice words for Banjo and Bottles about their big booties!!!

More games should star fat and ugly characters, but it’s important that we make them serious and unfunny because we don’t wanna promote the stereotype that fat people have to be funny.

I think the moral of Banjo Kazooie is that it’s good to want to better yourself but maybe don’t kidnap a little girl so you can steal her youth to do it

So... Arceus is looking better. Not gonna get it for full price but it seems like a chill adventure.

Still not exactly what I want from next-gen Pokemon but seems like a decent mod-step.

My friend was melting down showing me how excited he was for Arceus and when the video gets to the Pokémon fighting and it looks exactly the same I just started laughing. It’s so funny to me that they completely overhauled the entire open world, basically by just drag-n-dropping BotW into Pokémon.. but they would leave the same boring combat engine untouched with no new animations… it really defies belief, just putting a new coat of paint on a haunted house.
