    First Time DLP Trip Report - Not What I Expected!

    Yup this is what my family experienced in Disneyland Paris (so much that they pointed it out to me) but I was just at WDW while visiting my sister and witnessed the exact same thing happen so LOL Not saying it's right in either resort btw. All I can do is just shake my head and laugh. My...

    Is AAA gaming facing a reckoning? Maybe a crash?

    I played Scarlet for like 30 minutes, gave up and gave my sister my copy because I was so done with it. I've played indies with a significantly lower budget that ran better than Scarlet/Violet.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Okay sorry that this is my first post on this thread (have been lurking for a while and rolled my eyes at a lot of these posts if that says anything). But the selfish part of me would LOVE this and it would fit the literary theme of IoA somewhat. However the monkey's paw would curl and it would...

    Wouldn't even be against that. But also I admit I come across as a "back in my day boomer" where I'll shout from the rooftops that the handheld games were way better than the recent games 🤣

    There are games made by 1-10 people with the budget of two nickels rubbed together that look better visually than the Pokemon games Gamefreak are putting out currently. That would be the best case scenario but again I know it'll never happen. I can only dream.

    I know this will never happen but I wish another studio would make Pokemon games instead of Gamefreak. Their newer releases are boring and look visually awful (not to mention run like crap too).

    First Time DLP Trip Report - Not What I Expected!

    I had family that went to DLP in late June/early July (couldn't join them due to lack of PTO). They thought Disneyland Paris itself was beautiful but Studios was just meh. Their biggest takeaways were that Phantom Manor is now one of their favorite Disney rides in any park, the food was...

    I did look into that claim of Disney trying to buy the rights and allegedly Tomorrow Studios + Netflix already had them so that's why it fell through. Tbh I feel like Oda would've said no regardless. I hope that comes to Orlando someday. I wanted to go so bad but couldn't due to my schedule.

    Beware of hitch hiking... illnesses

    I had family that went to Disneyland Paris this summer as part of a vacation to France + the Netherlands and they came back with some sort of ick. They noticed people (kids and adults) coughing and sneezing everywhere and barely anyone covering their mouths. I'm off to Disneyland in less than 2...

    News Over 40 WDW Attractions Closed Late Afternoon 8/29 due to Power Surge

    I was just at Epcot and every single ride except for Gran Fiesta Tour was down. That made everyone go to World Showcase and every single festival booth line was insane. Like, more insane than usual for a friday night lol I saw the lights at Connections flicker on and off for about 2 seconds...

    Tbh I notice more women complain about Disney's female characters having the "adorkable" personality type more often than female characters being mary sues but that's just what I see on social media. But you could argue that's the same thing, I guess.

    Yeah definitely agree about some of the comments on here and it's why I'm mostly a lurker. But the quoted part of your post is how I feel and how many of my Gen Z peers feel as well. We can tell that a lot of the content is sloppily made with 0 care. We don't care who specifically it's marketed to.

    Would add the FNAF movie as well. There was a lot of hype for its release. Not seeing a lot of fanfare for the sequel but it still has a few months to go before release.

    Every Gen Z kid remembers Baby Looney Tunes as being the "home sick from school" show. That's the only way anyone saw it LOL
