ok so part of me agrees that there is a lot of uncalled for/unjustified or bandwagon hate towards WoW by players and people who already quit for stupid reasons - and there always has been, people have always bitched and moaned about shit they dont like in the game - but you can’t not acknowledge that activision-blizzard is a fucking awful company consumed with greed lol.. bobby kotick is one of the most overpaid CEOs in america, while some employees of the company are so underpaid that they can’t even afford the food at the building cafeteria. blizzard also cut a ton of jobs in 2019 even after reporting record earnings. the blitzchung incident is still something that happened and that blizzard handled awfully, i’m not going to defend any of these things even as someone with an active sub, people SHOULD be angry and i’d actually be more concerned if they weren’t because complacency is probably the number one thing that will keep blizzard running in the shitty way it currently is

in my opinion if you’re going to financially support blizzard as a company by playing their game, i think you have some kind of responsibility to be aware and sometimes vocal about their many, MANY problems and if that takes the form of being critical of them or “hating” on them online, whatever lol. blizzard is not your friend and they’re not a team of 10 cool guys who are just really passionate about their game, they’re a multi-billion dollar company that doesn’t care if you defend them online. I completely understand that the negativity towards something you like is exhausting and leaves you with a lot of discomfort, I feel the same way, but you can’t just dismiss everything people complain about as petty bitterness. of course i’m going to be bitter if the company of one of my favorite games that i’ve also paid a fuckton of money to over the years has become more and more unethical over the years to the point where i feel gross supporting them, imo people should care about this even if it doesn’t necessarily need to be discussed 24/7 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

#i think what they need most is to unionize which i really dont know how i would help with that as a consumer #wow negative #negative #blizzard negative #idk what else to tag this?#wow critical #blizzard critical

Okay, I have nothing against anyone if they do like the games. Just stating that.

Now, I hate Skylanders. I always have. With what I’ve learned of it it’s not a Spyro game; it’s a game borrowing certain TLOS characters. (So. Like I said, you enjoy go ahead, but I will not play it personally.)

What I want to know is, why the hell did they cancel TLOS movie that was planned in order to make another game??? If I’m remembering correctly, most of the script had already been done. Activision just came over and said, “lol, no; cancelled. ‘We want to take the game in a new direction’.”

Sorry I’m still pissed about that to this day. Not only did they screw over the people who had been working hard on it, but I was disappointed to learn about Skylanders? It didn’t seem like a good idea. I mean, they could have done the game a few years later and still make the movie or something? I dunno.

I just remembering being a kid and being like, ‘hell yeah bruh, Spyro movie. Give it.’ Even if it hadn’t been super good I know I would have enjoyed it.

Sorry, just had to get that out of my system.

You're called Future Smash memes-- can you see into the future of my universe? We just had 6 more character slots announced for our game, meaning there are 6 we dont know who they'll be! Do you have any insight? Or at least a prediction o'wise one?

Hmm. You know, I’ve been told that your timeline is the “main” one, and therefore is very tricky to predict and deal with. It may not be much, but I guess I’ll give my two cents on who I think the final six DLC slots for this timeline will be.

First of all, it’s important to remember that these choices were made by Nintendo, not Sakurai. I think that’s the reason why we got Sans and Cuphead miis in this timeline rather than full on fighters: for one reason or another, Nintendo didn’t want them (or at least, didn’t want them as much as the chosen fighters). Sakurai has said that he’s an avid fan of Undertale and Cuphead, so this makes sense. Then again, he’s also an avid Persona fan and I still don’t get why Nintendo would’ve chosen it of all franchises. Don’t get me wrong, Persona looks great and all (never played it myself), but it’s not very…Nintendo, y’know?

With that in mind, I think it’s safe to say that we won’t be getting an indie rep. Nintendo currently doesn’t seem to be very open to the idea of full on indie reps, so that means that characters like Hat Kid probably won’t get in (maybe as a mii costume, though aHiT isn’t as well known for its music as undertale and cuphead are, so I don’t think it would be a deluxe costume). Really, the only indie reps I see getting in are either Reimu or (as much as I hate to say it) Steve. Touhou is the poster child for popular indie projects, even if it isn’t as big over here as it is in Japan. ZUN is also open to the idea of Reimu in smash. The main things that go against Reimu is the fact that she isn’t very well known outside of Japan (and those who do know her often associate her with loli culture, which might be a problem) and because the way the franchise is set up, legalities with Touhou would either be really easy or really, really hard. Steve, on the other hand, has sort of transcended being an indie character. Minecraft recently overtook Tetris as the best selling game of all time, and has become a household name around the world. Maybe I’m just projecting (I’m probably the only person from my generation that doesn’t like Minecraft), but I don’t think Steve is getting in either. First of all, legality with Microsoft would probably be an issue as they would certainly demand more money for Steve than Banjo, who, while a treasured character worthy of his spot, comes from a dead IP who wasn’t had a new game since 2008. Also, similar to former best seller Tetris, I just don’t think that Minecraft’s blocky, pixelated art style and rigid player animations would be a good fit for smash. Again, totally me projecting, but that’s just what I think. I do expect to get Steve over mii swordfighter, though. That makes sense.

Now with my little indie rant out of the way, I’ll do a bullet-point list for characters that I’ve posted memes about on the blog before and what I think of their chances of getting in:

First of all, I think it’s obvious that Raz isn’t going to be one of the DLC characters. Yes, Psychonauts 2 is coming out later this year and the first game is one of my favorite video games of all time and he would fit in perfectly, but let’s be real. The franchise is a cult classic that has never been released on a Nintendo system in any way and probably sold horribly in Japan. Double Fine was also recently bought out by Microsoft which really killed any small chance he had of making it in. Sir Daniel is in a similar position

First/second party characters like Bandana Dee and Impa I think are deconfirmed because most of them are represented by Spirits, and I don’t think that they would “double dip.” And because of the scope of spirits mode, I think it’s unlikely that we’ll get any older characters from prexisting franchises (I say older so people won’t hound me with “WELL BYLETH GOT IN SO”).

We are not getting another FE rep lol. Rip red head merchant waifu.

Shooter characters are in a really weird spot since these games tend to not be made for kids (it’s easy to forget in all the hype and speculation that smash is first and foremost meant for kids), yet have made such a big cultural impact on the gaming scene that it’s hard to deny their “worthiness” to be in smash. Master Chief in particular is tricky to place since I definitely think he has much more character than most other shooter reps (cough cough Doomguy) and could have a more varied moveset than just “gun.” But that being said, he’s once again a character owned by Microsoft and comes from a franchise that up until very recently was Xbox exclusive and (as far as I’m aware, has never been released on a Nintendo system). It’s also important to remember that the original Xbox sold miserably in Japan, so I doubt that he’s getting in either.

On a similar note, I’ve seen people throw around ideas for a TF2 rep. This makes a lot more sense to me than Halo or Doom; the playable characters have much more personality and the cartoony aesthetic of the game fits in way better than most other shooters (cough cough Doom). I don’t know which character would be chosen though. Heavy probably? I think their main problem is that Valve would probably be picky about licensing and whatnot (I don’t think we’d be getting Gordon Freeman or Chell for the same reason). Additionally, I struggle to imagine TF2 without it’s signature dark humor which would most likely be cut for smash

Due to recent events, I do not think we will be getting an Overwatch or any other Blizzard rep.

If there’s one character I’d be willing to bet money on getting in, it’s Crash. While he’s never really been all that popular in Japan, it just feels right to me. He fits in perfectly, he has some history with Nintendo (even if he is more synonymous with PlayStation), and I mean…he just feels right. I know that sounds shitty after having just denied a bunch of other characters in an articulate manner, but I don’t know what else to say. I’m not even that big of a Crash fan. The only thing I can see hurting his chances is Activision potentially asking for money than Nintendo is willing to give (this is why he didn’t get into Pl’ystation Allst’rs)

Similarly, I think Spyro has a good chance of getting into smash, but not as well as Crash. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I always thought that Crash just had more of a cultural impact than Spyro did. I do think Spyro has a good chance of getting in though. Maybe some Skylanders/amiibo crosspromotion? Probably not.

Given how stingy they were with Hero (when compared to other DLC reps) and _especially _Cloud, I don’t think we’re getting another Square Enix rep, be it Sephiroth, a Black Mage, or Geno. That being said, it could’ve all been a long con and the FF7 remake will release alongside Sephiroth DLC with the actual fucking spirit battles that we should’ve gotten. Probably not though.

Dante I think has a pretty good chance at getting in. I think that he stands at a similar position to Bayonetta when it comes to censorship, so I think he could work. God knows that he would be broken if he did get in though.

I’ve been a big advocate for a Puyo Puyo rep in smash, and if we were to get one I think it would be Arle (maybe with other characters on her alts like Koopalings/Heroes). People have already theorized how her moveset could work, and I agree with that speculation wholeheartedly. Puyo Puyo unfortunately isn’t very well known outside of Japan since in the past it was usually released under a different brand (Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, Kirby Avalanche, etc). I do think that we absolutely need more puzzle reps than fucking Doctor Mario though, and Puyo Puyo seems perfect.

Professor Layton has unfortunately not had a new game in a long time (at least not one where he has a staring role), and outside of his swordsmanship, which is seen very rarely throughout the series, I don’t think that there’s much of a moveset to be made for him.

I love Ace Attorney, but I don’t think that Phoenix Wright is getting in. I don’t think that Sakurai would realistically just copy and paste his MvC3 moveset to smash and I don’t know what else you could do with him. Also, we haven’t gotten a new international release for Ace Attorney since 2016.

I know next to nothing about No More Heroes but I know a couple of people who will have a fit if I don’t mention Travis. I know there’s a sequel on the horizon but similar to Psychonauts, I don’t see it really happening. It feels to much like a cult classic to me. Once again, I know next to nothing about No More Heroes, so take that with a grain of salt.

I don’t think that any assist trophy characters will be “promoted” to playable through DLC.

And that’s about it. I know that sounded really pessimistic, but that’s honestly because I haven’t the foggiest idea about who’s going to get in. Everyone I want in in this timeline is either an assist trophy/spirit or a niche western/indie pick that I doubt has a chance. That sucks, but it’s just life. As long as we don’t get Goku or Fortnite though, I’ll be happy with whoever.

Here’s an odd, yet frighteningly plausible theory. What if it’s Saurfang who’s the actually evil one? How many villains have we seen across all fiction that got their start by “tiring of life”? People say it’s Sylvanas who wages war on life, but it’s Saurfang who is suicidal in every sense.

We know he commits terrorist attacks on the Horde, while wielding the word “honor” (while his own definition changes situationally) in the same way that Garrosh wielded it as a conqueror.

But I got to thinking: Sylvanas EXPLICITIY asked Saurfang to create an “honorable” plan for Teldrassil because the Horde wouldn’t trust any of her plans. So Saurfan wrote a plan he considered honorable, and then didn’t do it because he said that it was dishonorable. Setting Sylvanas up to change plans on the fly and act in desperation to create a substitute strike of massive harm.

You know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like Saurfang planning from the beginning to set Sylvanas up for failure.

He made a plan he considered good, then pulled out because he decided on a whim that his own plan wasn’t good.

Activision’s fingernails are so deep into Blizzard (what’s left of them at this point) that this won’t be the case. But what I see is Saurfang having his nihilistic outlook control him, and driving him to literal insanity.

I could EASILY see Saurfang’s grief and suicidal nature as the cause of his inconsistent and ever--changing definition of “honor”, as well as his radical change from Orc leader to terrorist leader. (yes, slaughtering Horde, and then demanding it be covered up is *definitely* an act of terrorism against the Horde)

Saurfang isn’t only dishonorable. He’s nihilistic, and literally completely insane.

And that is FAR more frightening a person to follow than one who has noble ends achieved via excessively harsh means.

I mean, I’d rather follow Tyranduh than Saurfang, because even if she’s delusional about her altruism, at least she believes it, unlike the insane and conniving Varrok.

GOD I hate what BFA has done to the characters. lol

🔥 choose violence ask game 🔥

4, 16 and 22

thanks Brittany! ♡ i have a lot of thoughts, as you know lol

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

I've blocked so many people, but two stand out to me. One was a blog dedicated to sharing other people's COD headcanons, but all of the headcanons were so unhinged and made no sense. It was genuinely pissing me off seeing them on my "for you" tab (that tab is hell btw), so I blocked them even if I had no personal beef with them. Another was someone who was just posting endless, multiple smut fics of König every day. I just could not. König fics in general are excessively dark and strangely animalistic and I just hate seeing so much of it.

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

Ok I could write a book answering this question. First, I don't get the trope of Price f*cking his subordinate(s) (and usually very violently/grotesquely) out of nowhere or like "in his office"?? Not an accurate characterization of him and also like... what the fuck, that's very strange. On that note, also any fic that's like "they were in the middle of hiding from an army in the middle of nowhere and [character] and reader started fucking." Like, bffr. No one's gonna do that shit. A trope I also don't understand is the professor x student trope. It makes me want to rip my face off. I'm actually a postgraduate student and sexual harassment is rampant in academia, especially with professors preying on vulnerable master's and doctoral students. And I see a lot of people place Price as the professor and a reader or an OC as a student and I am so nauseous just thinking about it. That imbalance of power in both scenarios is just something I will never be okay with. Also I ranted about this before, but I don't understand the Shepherd/Adler being Graves's biological father headcanon. Doesn't make any sense. The timelines don't add up and there's nothing connecting these characters in that way. And as a bonus, I don't understand any of the characterizations for König that this fandom comes up with because who even is he.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

Especially from playing "All Ghillied Up" in the original series, I really wish more people thought about Price's younger days with Captain MacMillan. I wish more people explored that relationship, and Price's earlier history and how came to be who he is as a captain. But I also hope they don't because fans on tumblr will probably end up sexualizing their relationship somehow. Similar to how everyone ignores Roach in the original series, it kind of makes me sad how all the Army Rangers from the original series got completely forgotten by (some) fans and by Activision. The gameplay with Ramirez in MW2 was some of the best and most emotionally tense, at least for me, and I always enjoyed his interactions with Corporal Dunn and even Sgt. Foley screaming his name every 4 seconds. I also wish more people talked about Farah and Price's relationship more (!!). She hardly appears in fics/art (at least not the ones I've seen) even though she was in most of MW19—with two missions dedicated to her past—and appeared in MWII. I'm pretty sure it's because most people are only interested in the men they're physically attracted to in this fandom, smh.

My Thoughts on Crash N. Sane Trilogy

Just like with Final Fantasy 15, I am going to discuss how I feel about Crash N. Sane Trilogy and other games I will play in the future. Well then, I have completed the game a long time ago, so this is way overdue! The game was a wonderful experience! The nostalgia was powerful, I couldn't stop admiring the game. I can't wait to play this game with my nephew when he's older (if he will like Crash). :D

First off, the game is awesome! Not only did it stay faithful to the original trilogy many of us grew up playing back in the PS1 era, but it also received additional features and changes. There's more life into it, particularly with the cartoon-like aspects of the game. It all plays the same as the originals, but I'm aware that it's harder than the original trilogy. "Wait a minute, hard? The games aren't hard," some people say. Believe me, just because N. Sane Trilogy gave the original Crash trilogy a PS4 HD makeover (which I hope can be used for a Spyro trilogy and Crash Team Racing remake) doesn't mean it plays the same as it did back then. I didn't notice it at first, but when I died on the first level (yes the first level!), something was up. I thought I was just rusty, but I told myself "How the heck am I rusty enough to lose on the very first level???". Then I noticed my jumps were a little off. I just made the assumption that I'm rusty despite my growing suspicions, and much to my relief, they were later confirmed online. Apparently, you have to be precise with your jumps, and if you mess up in a hazardous section, you're done. You'll lose a life, no questions asked. lol You can easily slip off of things such as the ledges and crates and you cannot let go of the X button or you may possibly fall to your demise. So new physics were applied, and it was difficult to get used to that. There were countless times I believed I would make certain jumps with flawless skill only to be taken by surprise of Crash (or Coco) slipping off where I thought they landed safe and sound. However, I think I mastered the new physics and did a better job than the first Crash game by the time I started Warped. I did a decent job in Cortex Strikes Back, but I did screw up once in a while just because of the jumping.

I mentioned Coco moments ago. You guessed it! Coco Bandicoot is playable in all three games, and that doubles the fun! I always wanted to play as Coco more often, and I was always disappointed as a kid that I couldn't play as her in Crash 2 and 3 (outside of her own levels in Warped obviously). But now we can play as her in every level!...Minus the bosses. And specific levels from each game that are exclusive to Crash. Oh well! At least she's playable in most of the levels. Next are the time trials for Crash 1 and 2, which I will play at my own time. I'll record them and think about whether or not I should strive for platinum relics. I tried that for Crash 3 only to give up after a while. Getting platinum relics isn't an easy task. XD They're hard, and I mean real hard. I stopped partly due to how insanely difficult they are, and also because I didn't want to slow down the playthrough more than I already did by getting the first platinum relics. But the good news is gold relics count for 105% completion on all three Crash games so no need to go berserk, everybody!

Also, there's Stormy Ascent! A new level cut from the original Crash Bandicoot, Stormy Ascent is a difficult version of its sister level, Slippery Climb. I understand that it really is pretty hard. I died 46 times (47 if you count the stupid blunder I made in the bonus round), my mistakes ranging from simple miscalculations to ridiculous decisions. Yet surprisingly I wasn't frustrated along the way. The time trial, however, may be a different story. Will I do the time trial? Will I shoot for the platinum relic? I honestly don't know, but when (or if) I do, I'll record it. I won't be doing it anytime soon, though! Lol

As mentioned from my posts prior to the game's release, now everybody knows the whole truth regarding the difficulty. I hope those who have been criticizing people for dying easily or being super cautious or whatever during levels regret judging their gaming skills. Crash N. Same Trilogy is literally harder than the original trilogy. They're not terrible gamers, they're gamers who have struggled with how the game works! Newcomers and experts both have to deal with the new physics of the game. Think about it. It's like playing these games for the first time all over again.

Hmmmmmm what else? Oh yeah! Crash N. Sane Trilogy has made some changes to the game besides the gameplay and the inclusion of Coco, Stormy Ascent, and the time trials. I won't mention every single one, but I'll point out one example. One of the few changes that sort of disappointed me was N. Gin having most of his lines removed in Crash 2 and 3.

Cortex Strikes Back (Original), N. Gin's defeat:

"Dr. Cortex will be very displeased with your resistance! Prepare to suffer his wrath!”

Warped, N. Gin's lines during his boss battle:

Beginning - "Prepare to be pulverized, bandicoot!”

End - "Arrrgh! Not again!!"

It didn't bother me much, but I still wonder why they weren't included. Even Dingodile doesn't say his line when he's defeated. And the crowd during Tiny's battle in Warped doesn't boo at Crash. But I won't hate those bits, it's not like everything in the games were changed.

The music is a masterpiece in my book! After I finished playing Crash, I downloaded the soundtracks because it's just that great. They made the songs more memorable than they were before, and I like that. Well, that is the end of my review! I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves Crash and has grown up playing the series or to newcomers that are curious about this legendary bandicoot. It's worth buying because it's just that awesome. :D On a random note, I still hate how the orange gem only appeared once and never showed up again. Poor orange gem. That's why it's one of my favorite gems to collect (aside from the blue gem, my ultimate favorite of all).

For a bonus, in case you want to know, my favorite songs of Crash N. Sane Trilogy are below:

Crash Bandicoot

Toxic Waste

Generator Room

Slippery Climb/Stormy Ascent

Dr. Neo Cortex's theme

Pinstripe's theme

N. Brio's theme and bonus

Lights Out/Fumbling in the Dark

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Turtle Woods/The Pits/Night Flight

The Eel Deal's Green Gem Route

Crash Dash/Crash Crush/Un-Bearable

Cortex's boss theme

N. Gin's boss theme

Tiny Tiger's boss theme

Crash Bandicoot: Warped

The Time Twister

Tomb Time/Sphyxinator/Bug Lite (including their death route theme)

Hog Ride/Road Crash/Orange Asphalt/Area 51?

Future Frenzy/Gone Tomorrow

Rings of Power

N. Gin's theme

Dingodile's theme

Cortex's theme

Wow I like a lot of them. lol Now for my favorite levels:

Crash Bandicoot

Stormy Ascent

Generator Room

Toxic Waste

N. Brio

Dr. Cortex

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Cold Hard Crash

Bear It/Bear DownUn-Bearable

N. Gin

Dr. Cortex

Crash Bandicoot: Warped

Hog Ride/Road Crash/Orange Asphalt/Area 51?

Tomb Time/Sphyxinator/Bug Lite

Dingodile

Now this is the end of my review! lol I hope you guys enjoyed Crash like I do. It has been my childhood, and it feels great to have him back. And let's hope that Crash gets a bright future that he deserves! Also, let's try to get Activision thinking about remaking Crash Team Racing and the Spyro trilogy while we're at it.

human au where ashfur

squirrelflight: gamers are stupid lol

ashfur:

You know what? Go ahead and try.

You’re targeting Gamers.

Gamers.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Oh, you call yourself a gamer because you play COD? Bitch PLEASE! I am a gamer, YOU are a Lemming. I’ve got a game from every damn genre, I’ve got FPSs, TPSs, RTSs, RPGs, Racing, Horror, Sims, I’ve even got bloody JRPGs. I’ve got AAAs, indies, art houses, I’ve got prequels, sequels, should never of been made-els, I’ve got standard editions, special editions, collectors editions, Limited editions, legendary editions. I’ve got Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Gameboy pocket, I’ve got X-Box, I’ve got Playstation, I’ve got DLC, I’ve got expansion packs, map packs, weapon pack, content packs, I have something of EVERYTHING! I, and take note, I am a gamer you bloody Lemming, I play real games, no matter the console or genre, that stir real emotion, I play everything from Fallout and Mass Effect, to Gears of war and Assassins Creed, to Banjo Kazooie and viva pinata, to, yes, even Call of Duty. So you shut up, get in line and throw your money at Activision for the same damn shooter every year, so that WE can get PROPER games published, and stop calling yourself a Gamer you self entitled, hate filled, slur slinging little wannabe.

You can’t kill the gamers The gamers will live on Christians tried to kill the gamers But they failed! As they were smote to the ground Politicians tried to destroy the gamers But they failed! as they were stricken down to the ground Feminists tried to kill the gamers Hahahahaha! They failed! As they were thrown to the ground

No one can destroy the gamers The gamers will strike you down with a vicious blow We are the vanquished foes of the gamers We tried to win for why we do not know

Journos tried to destroy the gamers, but the gamers had their way Feminists tried to dethrone the gamers, but gamers were in their way Christians tried to destroy the gamers, but the gamers were much too strong Court rooms tried to defile the gamers, but the courts were proven wrong

Gamers!
