i've been playing the original Monster Hunter on my totally real ps2 recently and honestly? it's been SUCH a blast

it's slow as shit and clunky as hell and the camera controls were designed by a school bully. but using the analogue stick to attack is actually pretty chill once you adjust to it, especially with how simple the weapons are.

i'm about ~13 hours in and i just fought my first gendrome. i'm taking my sweet ass time. it feels good. it's a weirdly tranquil experience. i can just zone out and gather mushrooms for an hour straight and do nothing else. it's like the video game equivalent of sitting on the porch watching the sunset and drinking a beer with your uncle, interrupted by the occasional getting mauled by a pack of raptors.

also it's a BEAUTIFUL game, and i mean that genuinely, even by today's standards. sure it's crunchy looking, you can see the individual pixels on item icons and the jpeg crust on the skyboxes, but the locales are so lovingly detailed; all the sounds and ambience blend together so nicely. my god the way i just stood there in the swamp just listening to the thunder and splashing in puddles of water i was like. i'm home

anyway. yeah i get it now. i understand how this strange game ever got a sequel, let alone blew up into what it is now. they put a lot of love into it and it shows. i love u monster hunter for the ps2

You guys remember when you could just do the whole "Title minus Hero of part = nickname" thing to differentiate all the Links in the regular Zelda fandom without lu stans instantly thinking this is about them somehow (despite the comic itself never even using those nicknames) and going absolutely haywire? Those were the good times lmao

(Seriously though it's been a thing since the 2000's in the general fandom and is still common everywhere else that isn't tumblr/ao3, where it's only stopped because of all the harassment. Jojo from LinkedUniverse didn't invent the concept of crossovers. No, not even Link's Meets. Like. Cmon)

Okay. Where The Fuck is the permit office bunker. Scar said. And I quote. Both. "We can't have mobs here." And "Nothing can grow here." Hey man. Wtf does that mean.

If a person hits you unprompted, I'll support you if you hit them back.

If a person harasses you(HARASSES. Not just annoys, harasses. Theres a difference and i need people to stop pretending theres not.) and doesn't stop after being asked and told not to, I'll support you if you try to stop them physically.

If someone just annoys you, or does something that you don't like, and you try to use physical force against them, I've lost all respect for you. I'm getting real fucking tired of people not understanding how fucked up it is to hurt people they don't like or agree with.

Shout out to that one time the way I found out one of my favorite actors killed someone was that I was trying to connect with someone over our love of said actor and they went “oh yeah!!! I love him 😍😍😍 did you hear about how he accidentally killed someone a few weeks ago though??? 👀👀👀”

Me: *puts a lot of thought and care and energy into a present*

Also me: *gets so embarrassed about the thought and care and energy I put into it that I never actually gift it even though I know I'll regret not doing it*

SCREEEEaAAAAAMMMMMMm

[mckitterick]

that would be something all right

almost like watching a ridiculous reality-game-show personality with a history of ruining businesses (he bankrupted a casino... twice!) and steady butt of "evil financier" jokes on The Simpsons and other shows one day run for President of the frellin' USA... and win. two separate times

Imagine you’re some pod racing enthusiast watching the Boonta Eve Classic and some literal child enters with the shittiest scrap pod you’ve ever seen. He built it himself. He then proceeds to absolutely demolish every other professional racer. The kid never enters a race again but his legacy lives on in the hearts of the pod racing community.

About 10 years later, you tune into a news stream to catch some news about the Clone War. The announcer is talking about a particularly pivotal battle, saying something about “Jedi General Anakin Skywalker”

YOU MEAN THAT KID FROM THE BOONTA EVE CLASSIC???

*taps microphone* is this thing on? Okay…

🎤 THIS IS A REMINDER THAT ALL OF THE ROBINS ARE SMART, GENIUSES IN FACT. THEY ARE IN A FAMILY OF DETECTIVES. THATS LIKE THEIR WHOLE THING. ALL OF THE ROBINS (AND THE REST OF THE BATFAM TOO) ARE CLEVER, STRATEGIC, AND CAPABLE, NOT JUST TIM. (No hate to my boy Tim, though. I love Tim.) YES, EVEN THAT ONE. Thank you. 🎤
