Anime was right all along

Oh man, Hayate The Combat Butler was my jam back in the day. But it’s also very much a product of its time, I feel like you wouldn’t understand a lot of the jokes if you weren’t steeped in 2000s anime culture

When you switch from HP to Asus laptops you get to ride the asuswave

Wait is that a @Suswave imposter?!

 

[Mr_No_U]

Oops all rainbow road

 

[neon]

I’ve heard good things about them but I don’t know why they called their gaudy gaming line “Republican Gamers.” Makes me not want to support them

Ik this is probably a joke but just in case, its Republic of Gamers, a far less (a)sus name.

 

[HockeyBird]

Star Ocean reviews looking good. McJRPG gang, we're back!

 

[Derachi]

Ik this is probably a joke but just in case, its Republic of Gamers, a far less (a)sus name.

I only ever hear the name spoken aloud on like, podcasts and stuff. I do know now that it’s OF and not “an” but ”Republican Gamers” is definitely what I heard at first haha

 

[Brofield]

Unironically trying to convince my manager that when we do upgrade our current Dell work laptops, we get ones good enough to run Fall Guys for 'team building exercises' once a month lol

(Used to be Mario Kart for the three of us, until we hired a colleague who didn't have a Switch nor her fiance. So now we've been streaming Jackbox from my desktop PC to our work zoom room lmao)

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

we should found the People's Republic of Gamers

 

[Derachi]

we should found the People's Republic of Gamers

as long as we’re not the Democratic People’s Republic of Gamers

Look, I’m not kidding when I say that’s a great idea. Fall Guys, Jackbox, put it all there.

I refuse, we shall live in anarchy!

 

[MissingNo.]

So my calendar says it's November, but my weather station reads 12°C at 4:30pm, we had clear skies all day, and no sign of fog.

#NotMyNovember

 

[Brofield]

Democratic People's Republic of the United States of America

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Democratic People's Republic of the United States of America

just killed every american who says shit like "we're not a democracy but a republic"

 

[Brofield]

Look, I’m not kidding when I say that’s a great idea. Fall Guys, Jackbox, put it all there.


I refuse, we shall live in anarchy!

Honestly Jackbox has been hella fun, all my colleagues and managers are roughly the same age firmly in the millennial camp so we're very aware of how to use our phones/browsers to play the games. We've also done a bit of Among Us at the start of the pandy (who hasn't?)

As cool as it would be, probably can't convince everyone to switch to Rocket League though; myself and my manager would dominate, while the other two would lose interest real quick haha

(But God I wish we could all get on board with Dead By Daylight ahaha)

 

[Starphanluke]

WarioWare is out THIS WEEK??

 

[Brofield]

just killed every american who says shit like "we're not a democracy but a republic"

Something something odds are if a country calls itself democratic, it's likely the opposite.

And I think the US could use a proper name change given [gestures at surrounding western hemisphere]

 

[SirArthur]

we should found the People's Republic of Gamers

So instead of comrades, the term is Allys?

 

[meatbag]

WarioWare is out THIS WEEK??

Uh yeah get it together, you gotta move it to your local game store

But God I wish we could all get on board with Dead By Daylight ahaha

You’d be the coolest workplace if you were bonding over Dead by Daylight lol

 

[ngpdrew]

Oops all rainbow road

How much more would you all hate me if I said that I don't like Rainbow Road in any of its many incarnations?

 

[HockeyBird]

No way pal! I was thinking about playing Grabbed by the Ghoulies this month, but obviously didn’t. We really are strangely alike.

I had no intention of ever really touching the game but then I saw someone online describe it as Rare's take on Luigi's Mansion. I thought...hmmm interesting. I bought Rare Replay a few months back so I might as well give it a shot.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

So instead of comrades, the term is Allys?

 

[MissingNo.]

Through some wild twist, I have the next two days off, so I'll hopefully be able to finally wrap up Engage and move on to whatever I pick next.

Probably gonna cave and play MPR, even though I wanted to wait until closer to MP4, but I'm weak, and I could need a palate cleanser before I tackle the next SRPG in my backlog.

Crisis at Marvel: Jonathan Majors Back-Up Plans, ‘The Marvels’ Reshoots, Reviving Original Avengers and More Issues Revealed

Democratic People's Republic of the United States of America

I'm sorry, it's now "Pepsi presents New Democratic People's Republic of the United States of America".

 

[HockeyBird]

Marvel should hire Nintendo to untangle the storyline mess of the MCU

"Where did Kang go?"
"His purpose was complete so he just went away! Here's new character Tony Stark, an alien that's completely unrelated to the other Tony Stark."

 

[Brofield]

I'm sorry, it's now "Pepsi presents New Democratic People's Republic of the United States of America".

Pepsi presents the New Democratic People's Republic of the United States of America insurrection half-time show, featuring Ted Nugent!

 

[Skittzo]

Pepsi is a monstrosity

 

[SammyJ9]

That's a bold move, I'll let you know how it goes for my windows laptop

It isn’t necessarily a bold move. Could be a medium move, or light. Maybe even a pumpkin spice move if you’re one of those flavored coffee people.

 

[Skittzo]

Does anyone know anything about the meta council website? I know it was spun off from PC folks on Era, but does it have a good reputation or like, problematic or anything like that?

It isn’t necessarily a bold move. Could be a medium move, or light. Maybe even a pumpkin spice move if you’re one of those flavored coffee people.

Could be French too I guess.

 

[Stilt Village]

How much more would you all hate me if I said that I don't like Rainbow Road in any of its many incarnations?

Honestly, kind of agreed? 64 in particular is terrible, just minutes of nothing. At best I have no strong feelings on them. The modern versions of the SNES one are fine I guess?

 

[Mr_No_U]

dude

sweet

what does mine say?

 

[MisterSpo]

Listening to Starship Mario and, despite it being such a whimsical, joyous tune, becoming increasingly angry because Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn't available on Switch.

 

[meatbag]

With the Mario Kart Booster Course Pass wrapping up, it’s finally time for the F-Zero 99 Turbo Pack, available for no extra charge with the Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack membership for the Nintendo Switch family of systems

 

[Barely Able]

Pikmin 1+2 physical is currently $39 on Amazon. Hopped on that pretty quickly since I don’t know the print run for this one and both games are extremely replayable. Also only have digitally on Wii U, which might be the best way to play but the life span on that is always a question.

They will be fine yeah.

The Johnathan Majors thing is a big headscratcher for them. Just get Hickman as advisor and get somebody really good to play Doom.

Incursions baaaaaybeeee

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

I am screaming

 

[chocolate_supra]

They just announced a Sonic game for Apple Arcade and it unironically looks more appealing than both Frontiers and Superstars to me...

As soon as I saw that I thought "god I hope this leaves Apple jail soon"
Shantae spoiled me

I clicked on this expecting an endless runner or smth and was surprised to say the least
gameplay looks interesting and that animation (I assume powerhouse) looks beautiful

Have you seen Sonic Speed Simulator? The offshoot stuff Sega's been doing (or contracting out) lately has been pretty friggin neat lately

Sonic Wonder, is that you??

Even better, they're saying this was more of a Sonicy take on NiGHTS Into Dreams
which, for the record, I am down for

dude

Pepsi is a monstrosity

Then why isn't it in your game?

 

[meatbag]

I am screaming

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day, and I just watched an episode of Pluto and Reservation Dogs apiece

 

[Skittzo]

Then why isn't it in your game?

.... I have no adequate answer for this oversight. I guess Switch Drake is the closest thing, color scheme wise-

 

[Sadist]

Pepsi is a monstrosity

Coke drools Pepsi rules

I like Coke just fine, but Pepsi is my jam

It's excessively sweet like jam, I guess.

[EvilChameleon]

Phase 1 of the decorations are up. Now I rest for a week or so before I begin phase 2.

 

[chocolate_supra]

I've never so badly wanted to be in Los Angeles



Edgar Wright, Bryan Lee O'Malley, and the fuckin Daniels. Goddamn

 

[Suswave]

Phase 1 of the decorations are up. Now I rest for a week or so before I begin phase 2.

put them back damn you

 

[MissingNo.]

I don't want to see any Christmas decorations before 1st December.
I don't want to hear any Christmas songs before 1st December.
I don't want to.
I don't want.
I don't.
I.

 

[chocolate_supra]

I think this is the appropriate thread to mention that I'm having a sandwich from Deli Delicious and it is ironically not delicious

 

[Suswave]

Edgar Wright, Bryan Lee O'Malley, and the fuckin Daniels. Goddamn

don’t tell them they’re a thing or they’ll make a supergroup called “Men With Names” and instantly be scheduled for the mercy kill

I've never so badly wanted to be in Los Angeles

I assure you, the feeling never carries into LA city limits

 

[MissingNo.]

I also don't want to see any gingerbread in stores in fucking AUGUST but I've given up on that a long time ago.

 

[chocolate_supra]

I assure you, the feeling never carries into LA city limits

oooooh don't I know it

One of the earliest times I remember feeling like a depressed reaction to something was when I flew back from Tokyo and the plane landed and I heard the captain come over the speaker and say "Welcome to Los Angeles" and seriously my heart just dropped
