taking any amount of accountability IS something I desperately want to see more of from people like him. but I can’t stress enough that you absolutely do not gotta hand it to Tucker Carlson

Pokopia should have included the blocks from Pokémon Puzzle League/Puzzle Challenge
it's fine lol, I don't actually care if people agree with me
15-20 years ago I actually was calling it overrated, just to seem more measured or to have more nerd cred or whatever, but I don't have the energy not to be cringe about my favorite things anymore

okay fine I will be the guy on your timeline that pushes up his glasses and says "I actually think FFVII is properly rated"
seeing the S.S. Anne beached and the Pewter Museum covered in volcanic ash and Sabrina's gym flying away definitely helped me understand how huge Dragon Quest fans felt when they played Dragon Quest Builders and saw Rimuldar's poisoned moat and Cantlin with no walls and Tantegel covered in darkness
I gathered up the unique Pokémon and took a shot of the tower we rebuilt together (and didn’t notice that Professor Tangrowth Mike Wazowski’d me but thought it was really funny so I kept it)
Pokopia ending had me ugly crying dude
I drew Miriel /ミリエル
what happened to the whole “trying to get into heaven” thing?
is he trying to overflow the evil stat so it rolls over from 255 to 0?
EGGS AREN’T EVEN CHEAPER
Professor Tangrowth, Peakychu, Smearguru, Chef Dente and DJ Rotom all get my seal of approval
Mosslax should’ve been called Sporelax and Tinkmaster should’ve been called Tinkerton
Out in the yard with the dog, heard a car engine revving in the distance, and I, dear reader, to be so sincere and vulnerable with you right now, genuinely looked up to see if I could spot Lugia or Ho-oh
Noir Dedede
And now for a confusedly named character, the latest one to grace the series! #Kirby #Nintendo
Nutt T. is screaming in a rage-filled pose, wearing a pride flag tank, a trans bandana, a bisexual wristband, shorts, and crocs

Happy freaking #TransDayofVisibility , despite everything I am smol but mighty and gay and trans and you are all just going to have to DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!
Also go read my webcomic, the main character is also trans masc and I love him and all his friends to bits: courtofroses.spiderforest.com
In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties!

truthfully, I didn't see it, lol, but you're fine. you've wanted Captain Toad in Smash for a long time and also engage with media more broadly
Pokopia Ditto would be an amazing addition to Smash Bros. and also people who view new characters and media primarily through the lens of whether they would be a good addition to Smash Bros. are tiresome, and it is not hypocritical of me to believe both these things at once
I think I like Proto Man and Zero closer to equally than you do, but Proto Man is still my favorite between them
did I black out, hack your account and compose this thread?
"love" how they waited to do this until AFTER their critically-lauded million-selling Pokémon spin-off game which happened to be on a game key card
I mean, yes, but he still likes killing and destroying things and that’s treated as okay and not something he has to learn to overcome by the narrative, which is refreshing
I also recommend you set swap tools to the dpad which is both how Pokopia works and helps curb accidentally talking to Malroth
Malroth is the best boyfriend, I hope you come around on him
I think they wanted to introduce a party member because DQ2 introduced party members
(though yes it can get annoying when he’s standing around in the way of you trying to build. you can take him out of your party when you beat the game)
sure, I'm not so naive that I don't understand why people would rather build homes for Squirtle, Scyther and Drifloon than for Slime, Dracky and Girl-Who-Looks-Vaguely-Like-Lucca-Because-She's-In-Toriyama's-Art-Style
just, like, man, the game you were looking for came out a year before New Horizons
I love that! they are different games and can co-exist, I think it's very cool and cute that Pokopia doesn't have combat
but I do think most of what people love about it (freedom of expression guided by quests, snowball effect of small rewards, fostering community & pride in builds) is carried over
few hours in, Pokopia's great. glad people love it. I love it.
I have to somehow just make peace with the fact that this many people never played Dragon Quest Builders 2, or I'll get an ulcer from reading "what Animal Crossing can learn from Pokopia" & "the next Animal Crossing needs to step it up"
maybe there's a little something there as far as a visual shorthand for hachimaki or the kinds of bandanas that Japanese sushi chefs and fishmongers wore, but I genuinely think this might just be another case of "that's how Dragon Quest did it so that's how we're doing it"
same thing Mercedes-Benz is doing in Mario Kart 8
“fit check for my napalm era” gets all the love, and deservedly so, but what a line “bleeding isn’t in my blood” is
my whole lineage is fucking invincible
in this war that has raged for countless millennia, your side has not struck even one meaningful blow against anyone in my entire ancestry
it was awesome to see Bartolomeo (and Sabo) but my biggest geek-out was Brook, I thought he was perfect. Beautiful singing voice and hit that YOHOHOHO spot-on
