why did they call it evolution and not transitioning

Show thread

Ash saying “Good for you, [newly evolved pokémon name]!” has big trans energy

this linter thinks

const value = (() => {
if (a) {
return val1;
} else {
return b ? val2 : val3;
}
})();

is easier to read than

const value = a ? val1 : b ? val2 : val3;

but i’m not sure i agree

but there IS definitely a lot of Chozo SOMETHING going on in that game, and there were hints of Chozo something in Samus Returns too, so who knows

generally speaking the Metroid games just kind of neglect the fact that Samus was literally raised by bird people with no human contact from the age of like 3 to 16, so if Metroid Dread wants to pick up that plotline i’d be VERY interested in seeing what it does with it

wait this is an official post??

are they… bringing back the manga…??!

honestly i can’t believe anybody is voicing PAW Patrol: The Movie characters

seriously go watch an episode of pokémon though; Ash is boring as fuck and the supporting cast / characters of the day is where all the interesting shit is at

that’s how to do video game

can’t believe i’m defending the storytelling of POKéMON on the timeline today

Show thread

whereas pokémon is good because the protagonist is basically just a ribbon for tying together “the individual narratives of each of your pokémon”, “the story arcs of the supporting cast”, and “the plot of the game”

yes tying those things together necessitates you being Champion and saving the world and all this other shit but nobody cares because that’s clearly just a plot device in order to let you even SEE it; the actual narrative focus of the game is on everybody BUT you
