Gooper Blooper: evening
RubyChao: "Hotel Mario is a 1994 puzzle video game"
RubyChao: There is a non-zero chance Hotel Mario contains unforgivable sin.
Gooper Blooper: HEY YOU, GET OFFA MY CLOUD
Gooper Blooper: wait a second
Gooper Blooper: could THIS be the unforgivable sin:
Harpydia: yeah that's assault, bro
RubyChao: oh my god
RubyChao: assault and battery
RubyChao: theft
RubyChao: this is the moment where mario becomes destined for hell
Harpydia: truly a sadge moment
Gooper Blooper: he coulda spawned in the OverThere if not for this
Gooper Blooper: damnation it is

Jumpropeman: egg!
Gooper Blooper: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/5209852
Jumpropeman: more egg!
Jumpropeman: when's her older sister join her in rp
Gooper Blooper: I unironically very briefly considered using Eggmaam as an antagonist for a Sonic-themed plot before realizing "no, this is just Eggette again" and scrapping it :V
Jumpropeman: why whats the problem with TWO eggettes-
Draco: Sage says they're copycat posers.
Gooper Blooper: I still find it suspicious that Sage popped up a few years after Eggette
Gooper Blooper: Sega had to have known about her...
Draco: Funny how Eggette hasn't been seen since... BI
Gooper Blooper: she was spotted this past May as a commentator for some big dumb robot fight where she revealed herself to be a stan for Chinkilla
Draco: ...hasn't been seen since...
Draco evacuates.

Draco: Two Dracgirls.
Gooper Blooper: I don't recall seeing the Archangel in RP, is this a reveal?
RubyChao: no, Draco used her as a faceclaim for the Mage General in agama
Draco: She had a minor role in Agama, faceclaim for Mage General Michaela Arcanjo. She's Silvania's step-daughter.
Gooper Blooper: Ah, yeah, we didn't see much of her
Gooper Blooper: totally forgot that character even existed
Draco: Yeah, she didn't do much.
Draco: She was a tertiary dueteragonist or something.
Jumpropeman: can you describe her with at least 30 adjectives?
Draco: Mean, rude, bullying, angry, bitter, sour, unhappy, commanding, domineering, dominating, magical, serious, busy, powerful, unimpressed, annoyed, steely, hardened, unforgiving, suspicious, untrusting, intelligent, clever, strategic, militaristic, hawkish, aggressive, brave, courageous, beautiful.
Jumpropeman: excellent, the first and most important zoofights rp wiki page can now be made
Jumpropeman: is she as beautiful as Ms. Fieldmouse though
Gooper Blooper: Ms. Fieldmouse's page got reworked at some point since JRM first found it and is a lot less unhinged in its' simping of her now
RubyChao: How dare.
Gooper Blooper: there's still this:
"Personality
Kind, caring, greedy, beautiful, attractive"
-but it doesn't call her "insanely sexy" any more
Draco: Nobody is THAT beautiful, JRM.
Jumpropeman: finally, modern hip Ms. Fieldmouse
Gooper Blooper: thanks, AI
RubyChao: Both Ms. Fieldmouse and Jacquimo the Swallow mention Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Jacquimo calls attention to the eponymous characters' impossible love, finding it romantic, while Ms. Fieldmouse comments in her song that their love was meaningless because it got them both killed.
However, Ms. Fieldmouse's allusion to Romeo and Juliet is actually incorrect, perhaps implying that she did not actually read the play: she says that they were "very much in love when they were wed" when actually the two lovers died before having the chance to get married (CORRECTION: Romeo and Juliet get married in Act 2, Scene 5 by Friar Laurence).
RubyChao: i like how they didn't bother to remove the incorrect one
RubyChao: but just add a correction
Jumpropeman: they didn't have any whiteout
Draco: The idea that Mrs. Fieldmouse might have not read Romeo and Juliet is very important to understanding her character.

Jumpropeman: why did I have to remember tapu lele
RubyChao: why DID you...

Mobile Draco: Vermont OP

Jumpropeman: for this character, their text color can be... white. And this one, also white. And this one... whi- okay I think I need to be more adventurous with these choices
Gooper Blooper: may I suggest the text colors of Linen, Ivory, and Snow
Jumpropeman: yuuma used Snow all this time as if that mattered compared to white

(After Chao ultimately decided against making Don Quixote from Limbus Company a major character in RP)
Mobile Draco: https://youtube.com/watch?v=0-NuAyx0TqI
Jumpropeman: beach vollybrr
Gooper Blooper: This is what Chao took from us (we'll get her eventually, probably)
Mobile Draco: Brb adopting Don Quixote for Beach Volleybrrr
Gooper Blooper: the only PCR agent that can out-gremlin Carmine
Mobile Draco: Brb Cags is joining PCR
Harpydia: perish, gremlin

Jumpropeman starts pruning profiles
Jumpropeman reaches Miyoi
Gooper Blooper: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4988307
Mobile Draco: So two more years of Whalestrand it is. ;)
Jumpropeman: the saddest miyoi...
(later, JRM updates his profiles to remove retired characters. Miyoi is still present.)
Jumpropeman: did a little profile adjustment, going to wait on adding in the new faces
RubyChao: ahahahahahaha
RubyChao: jrm can't let go...
Jumpropeman: j-just in case people need to know about her for the next two days...
---
Gooper Blooper: JRM epilogues: You know, I should have guessed you'd mine Concord for RP. It feels very appropriate.
Jumpropeman: now I just have to make Concord interesting...

Harpydia: "eh i will just do one floor in dungeon of the endless..."
Harpydia: harpy did not do just one floor in dungeon of the endless.
Jumpropeman: we've lost her to the dungeon...
Jumpropeman: which is different than the mines
Jumpropeman: and the rats
Harpydia: not sure how i'm gonna balance all these!
---
Jumpropeman: if yu yu hakusho was made today, the car killing yusuke instead of bringing him to another world would be a subversion
Mobile Draco: Yes
RubyChao: i dislike that you're right
Mobile Draco: That's how Seregios gets to Argo.

Cornwind Evil: I finally got around to seeing Jurassic World: Dominion
Cornwind Evil: Colin Trev, you lied to me.
Cornwind Evil: That dinosaur was not like The Joker at all
Gooper Blooper: Yeah that was an absolutely baffling comment
Mobile Draco: Super baffling.
Cornwind Evil: I feel like it was an in joke that got out of control
Cornwind Evil: I mean, when the long clawed dinosaur showed up I thought THAT was the Joker dinosaur
Gooper Blooper: If anything, the Giga is the most realistic "villain dino" they've ever had, its' behavior was quite reasonable compared to the usual "do absolutely anything to attack this one specific human" stuff
---
Jumpropeman: gonna have to get used to not thinking "ah right, brine's around tonight, wonder if he'll make a post" :V
Brine: Just gonna keep refreshing the forum for about 6 months... Plenty of posts coming in the AM after that!
Jumpropeman: but what will hannah be doing until then!?
Brine: Continuing her journey through blogposts :V I've got like 2.5 planned, anyway Gotta set her up for day one.
Jumpropeman: hahaha

Jumpropeman: Dreamcast designing the invites
Jumpropeman: if desiree and marisa ever do tie the knot, it would probably be an impulsive decision where they get married mid-skydive
Harpydia: accurate

Mobile Draco: Vita in November:
Jumpropeman: vita has evolved beyond the need for legs
---
Gooper Blooper: "Hear from the developers at Firewalk as they detail the new content coming to Concord, beginning with Season 1 this October, and share their vision for how the game will evolve over time. Concord launches on August 23, 2024 for PS5 and PC.
Learn more at http://playconcord.com/ "
Jumpropeman: gonna have a lot of research to do for next year...
Gooper Blooper: I just watched another video on it
Gooper Blooper: That Amazon TV show episode about Concord is supposedly coming out on December 10 and will feature characters that weren't in Concord because they were hoping to use the episode as publicity for Season 2 of content
Draco: lol
Draco: I hope the TV show turns out to be wildly successful.
Jumpropeman: haaa
Gooper Blooper: It's an anthology series, each episode is about a different game
Gooper Blooper: but the other episodes are about games that were successful and Sony just bought their way in with a glorified ad
Draco: Do what Sonic Boom did: awful game, excellent show.
Jumpropeman: I'm definitely going to watch the concord episode at least
---
Jumpropeman: ive actually been trying to find a good horse game lately
Jumpropeman: but each one I try fatigues me so much I have to take horse game breaks
Gooper Blooper: may I suggest
Jumpropeman: OH BOY
Jumpropeman: it will be so different, on account of the missing horn on the horse
Gooper Blooper: "Leila..."
Jumpropeman: *cue ten uninterrupted minutes of holding forward*

Gooper Blooper: sports
Jumpropeman: yayy
Gooper Blooper: she was fun
Jumpropeman: indeed
Gooper Blooper: stella will pull her out of the mothballs if there's a sports mystery in Argo
Jumpropeman: concord pickleball tournament
Gooper Blooper: XD
Gooper Blooper: you might as well just go as shitpost as possible with Concord Plot
Gooper Blooper: you already threw in a giant living hand
Gooper Blooper: at this point, why not
Jumpropeman: i keep wondering
Jumpropeman: there's no way we're going to face turn any of them
Jumpropeman: surely
Gooper Blooper: I like 1-Off
Jumpropeman: me too...
Jumpropeman: Mimi's brother?!

Gooper Blooper: "It sure is nice running my legitimate business in outer space! Yumemi's Peace Tech Corp is on the rise, and next year looks like another wonderful year for growth!"
COMING 2025: YUMEMIPLOT!
"W-what? No! I don't want any plots! I just want to run a nice profitable business is all! There's no need for anyone to get involved! ...M-maybe the plot is about helping me? Yeah... there's no need for violence!"
KOBBERS VS YUMEMI, 2025!
"Oh god no, I'm being set up as a bad guy... there's got to be some way out of this still..."
KICK THIS INVENTOR GIRL'S BUTT NEXT YEAR!
"Maybe if I just lay down and do nothing it will blow over... Maybe the plot runner will lose interest in the offseason and it will get canceled?"
PRETTY SURE WE'LL BE PUNCHING TOUHOUS!
"I'm doomed..."
RubyChao: AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
RubyChao: I MEAN YEAH BASICALLY

Gooper Blooper: I have played a PS5 game for the first time today
Gooper Blooper: Goopsbro set it up in the living room so I could give Sonic Frontiers a try
Jumpropeman: link
Gooper Blooper: link
Jumpropeman: PS5 like "thank god that ophelia biz kept me away from that concord trainwreck"
Gooper Blooper: I don't know how Concord Plot will shake out, but... it's gotta involve the Sony Sisters somehow, surely, particularly Five. The timing is too good.
---
RubyChao: i remember that for a bit jrm thought that Tenna was going to turn out to be Nathfield and i have to say i felt the same
Gooper Blooper: Nathfield would be an incredible RP villain but at the same time I'd think there was a remote chance Nathen would actually find us by googling his fursona if I did it
Jumpropeman: oh man
Jumpropeman: he'd either brag about it endlessly or throw a fit
Gooper Blooper: I never told you guys about it but he had an utter and complete meltdown over The Garfield Movie
RubyChao: this i gotta hear
Jumpropeman: only he understands the soul of garfield
Gooper Blooper: He rated it "four out of ten rotten lasagnas". Is it good to only get four rotten lasagnas if you could have potentially gotten ten? Is this like that SomethingAwful rating scale where it's entirely negatives?
Gooper Blooper: He lost his mind at the voice actor decision, declaring Chris Pratt to be "Chris Fart"
Gooper Blooper: The design for Baby Garfield was derided as "a RAT"
Jumpropeman: clearly inferior to nathfield's design
Gooper Blooper: but, and most incredibly
Gooper Blooper: With zero irony
Gooper Blooper: he insulted Baby Garfield for being a purely pandering design that exists to sell branded merchandise.
RubyChao: AAHAHAHAHA
Gooper Blooper: The man who has made his entire life "brands, money, licenses" saw someone else doing it and said "actually no"
Jumpropeman: reminds me of youtube videos talking about some business scam and then taking a moment to talk about their sponsor established titles
Gooper Blooper: I remember you (or someone else but I think it was you) was watching a youtube video about the predatory behaviors of mobile games and the video was actually freakin sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends
RubyChao: "2 Years Later And GarfieldEATS Is Still Unhinged"
RubyChao: from four months ago
Gooper Blooper: He hasn't found any hinges since losing Garfield
Gooper Blooper: he's still out there, teasing "announcements" for projects that never come
Gooper Blooper: including Scott Pilgrim EATS and Smurf EATS
Jumpropeman: "Jumpropeman: put on a video called "The Evil Secrets Behind Free to Play Games"
Jumpropeman: its sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends :V"
Gooper Blooper: there we go

RubyChao: "Anelace Elfead is pretty close to the perfect woman"

Draco: Anelace Elfead is nice, but she's no Annie Eilenburg.

Gooper Blooper: Sonic Frontiers: I got my first Squid Jumpscare!
Harpydia: ah, the killer whale joke returns-
Gooper Blooper: Frontiers has a bunch of minibosses that hang around the map and when you get close to one, they get a dramatic zoom in and their name appears on screen
Gooper Blooper: Most of the minibosses just stay in one place, but the Squid roams around flying through the air
Gooper Blooper: which means that sometimes you're in its' flight path and don't realize it until suddenly there's a dramatic zoom in on the Squid
Jumpropeman: the blooper has been blooped
Harpydia: wao
Draco: Squid Jumpscare aka what Vita sees at 3 AM when Scruffy wants treats.
Gooper Blooper: He was kicking my ass until I realized that this gigantic monster can simply be parried
Gooper Blooper: Sonic just blocks him
Harpydia: kek

Crims Baking Hell: explanation for the username: I'm watching a vtuber react to Kitchen Nightmares
Crims Baking Hell: it's the infamous one.
Crims Baking Hell: i never watched it, i merely existed around it
Crims Baking Hell: and now i am experiencing a level of crazy that would make asahi look absolutely sane in comparison
Crims Baking Hell: WHY IS THERE SO MUCH LORE ON AMY'S BAKING COMPANY WHAT THE FUCK
Gooper Blooper: Gordon uncovered a rabbit hole with that one
Crims Baking Hell: shitty pizzas, drugs, deportation, store bought cakes being sold as their own
Crims Baking Hell: my brain is unfurling
Crims Baking Hell: and i hate the fact that one of the owners is named sammy
Crims Baking Hell: sammy didn't deserve this shit
Crims Baking Hell: she's too cool to be lumped in with that dude
Crims Baking Hell: he is not representative of all sammys
Gooper Blooper: if it's any consolation, he spells it "Samy"
Crims Baking Hell: okay good
Crims Baking Hell: sammy redeemed
Crims Baking Hell: crim would fight him in the middle of a waffle house tho
Crims Baking Hell: then again he would fight anyone in the middle of a waffle house and parry a chair in midair

Gooper Blooper: So Sonic Frontiers likes to break up the action with minigames every so often. Goopsbro was watching me do an annoying one I wasn't enjoying and he was like "yeah I didn't like that one either"
Gooper Blooper: Sonic needs to fix a bridge and his way of doing this is to launch himself twenty miles into the air so he can freefall down to the other side
Gooper Blooper: You have to dodge a bunch of obstacles along the way and do it in a very tight time limit for... some reason. Frustrating but I eventually managed it
Draco: And then a SQUID appeared, destroyed it, and you had to do it all over!
Gooper Blooper: As I was working on it though Goopsbro told me there was a minigame later on that, based on what he'd seen online, was widely considered by players to be the lowpoint of the entire game
Gooper Blooper: but he added that not only did he personally not mind it, but he thought I might even outright enjoy it
Gooper Blooper: I was intrigued. What would so many people be upset about that I would be able to handle without issue?
Gooper Blooper: A little later he comes back and is watching me again. I get to a big ominous locked door and Goopsbro says I'm at the relevant part. The door opens, Sonic walks inside, and...
Jumpropeman: haha!
Gooper Blooper: I scored the required amount on one ball with no difficulty, those other people are CHUMPS-
Jumpropeman: the pinball wizard...

Jumpropeman: hearing Statler and Waldorf talk about Hideo Kojima is surreal
Gooper Blooper: this isn't even the first time the Muppets have shown up at Game Awards
Jumpropeman: very amused they're saying jokes the comments always make
Jumpropeman: calling it the Game Commercials instead for example
Draco: lel
Jumpropeman: who really cares about the game awards if there's no wooper watch during it...

Gooper Blooper: Turnover, jump preparation and reception animations are removed, and Mickey keeps his momentum. It makes the game much more enjoyable
swimming physics is lighter: when not using button C, you don’t sink anymore (you must press “down” for that)
Hitbox have been refined a little : they stay too big when you attack (making attack easy), but are shrunk when you’re being attacked (making defense easier). It’s far from perfect though, since the hitbox system of the game is quite primitive
Starting magic: 7 to 30
Rebalanced magic cost:
Little spell: 1 to 0
Big spell: 3 to 1
Rebalanced damage:

Big spell: 3 to 2
Bounce attack : 1 to 4
Rebalanced magic refill:
Simple flying spell book: 1 to 8
Secret flying spell book: 3 to 8
Gooper Blooper: Someone did a mod for Fantasia on Genesis to try and make it better

RubyChao: "imagine being the guy on Fiverr who made the Balatro theme because a dev hired you and at the end of the year you get to hear your music as performed by an actual orchestra"

Jumpropeman: lip syncing non-existent
RubyChao: jrm this song was a buried memory for me
RubyChao: and now you have woken it up
RubyChao: what am i gonna do now
RubyChao: i never noticed how bad the lip sync is though
Gooper Blooper: I like how the obvious shitpost of the Doobus Goobus version has perfect lipsync in comparison
Jumpropeman: okay, watching another version of the video, it was just a problem with that particular upload
RubyChao: oh, lmao
RubyChao: no wonder i never noticed
Jumpropeman: im sorry for underestimating that cinematic masterpiece
Jumpropeman: that I've never seen all the way through
Gooper Blooper: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zSmZzKHjZQ0
RubyChao: i love how absolutely gratuitous that dance sequence is
RubyChao: like it feels like it primarily exists to put the big booby evil woman in a bikini
RubyChao: actually not primarily
RubyChao: entirely
Draco: Daphne fell on hard times after the Scooby Doo gang broke up.

(Re: Fallout 3)
The Last Of The Terrible Men: You get the Perk that if you kill evil characters you can take Fingers from them to give them for money
The Last Of The Terrible Men: If you take the evil version, Contract Killer, you get ears from Good characters instead
The Last Of The Terrible Men: HOWEVER
The Last Of The Terrible Men: The Regulator leader, Sonora, ohhhhh I do not like her AI
The Last Of The Terrible Men: See, odds are decent that if you fast travel to the Regulator HQ, a random encounter will spawn
The Last Of The Terrible Men: And this will trigger her AI
The Last Of The Terrible Men: So she runs out and fights the monsters, right?
The Last Of The Terrible Men: No. Despite being the leader of a group of vigilante lawpeople...her AI is only coded to flee
The Last Of The Terrible Men: So she'll run out of her house and flee off into the distance while the giant scorpions attack cows
The Last Of The Terrible Men: Then you kill the random encounter
The Last Of The Terrible Men: ...and she DOESN'T COME BACK
The Last Of The Terrible Men: So now you end up walking all over the place trying to find where her AI made her stop
The Last Of The Terrible Men: Because she's the only one you can turn the Fingers into
The Last Of The Terrible Men: You want two further ironies?
The Last Of The Terrible Men: 1) She's marked Essential, so she can't normally die, just be knocked out, unless the game bugs.
The Last Of The Terrible Men: 2) She has a unique handgun that does a lot of damage...that you can't acquire in any way because it only becomes takeable if the AI becomes hostile to you or dies, and her AI is programmed SOLELY TO FLEE AND THE CHARACTER CAN'T DIE.
The Last Of The Terrible Men: The only way to get it is to console command it into your inventory
The Last Of The Terrible Men: I couldn't find her. I had to console command summon her character back into her own darn house so I could turn in the giant bag of fingers I had

Jumpropeman: I got to the chapter in My Hero Academia with Burnin a while back
Jumpropeman: and you can tell people knew she was great based on what happened in the next volume
Jumpropeman: each volume started to include two full page arts contributed by people who worked on the spinoff mangas, and both artists picked to have Burnin be the main focus in their images. What's more, every volume has a page for the assistants where they often draw little things, and in that volume they mostly drew them doing things in real life... save for one assistant who drew himself attending a Burnin meet and greet

Gooper Blooper: The Rumble Cave
Hooded Pitohui: Ah, right, yes, they sent me in as the backup Chao while he's in the cave. Here to report Chao's city adventures today saw him trying Georgian food, specifically a bowl of mushrooms in baked cheese.
Draco: That sounds good.
Harpydia: i would say that sounds nasty but maybe depending on the type of mushroom..
Harpydia: or if its cooked right, it won't be soggy shrooms
RubyChao joined the chat
RubyChao: hey hey hey friends
RubyChao: i went out and saw some fancy christmas lights in a far-flung neighborhood of brooklyn
Gooper Blooper: hi chao
Gooper Blooper: did you see Kate's Christmas display
RubyChao: i did not, sadly
RubyChao: i did see a skeleton santa
RubyChao: and a ridiculous number of nutcrackers at one house
RubyChao: there were also a couple grinches
RubyChao: then i went over to a georgian (country) restaurant and got mushrooms in a bowl of baked cheese
RubyChao: and fresh bread
RubyChao: it was all very nice
Gooper Blooper: I'm keking that HP's random-sounding report was actually completely accurate
Gooper Blooper: he was not in fact making shit up, chao ate shrooms
Hooded Pitohui: They'd dock my pay if my Chao reports were inaccurate-
Draco: Are you the President of Mario Wiki? Aren't you Chao's boss?
Hooded Pitohui: As if Chao would ever give up his power there, Draco...

Gooper Blooper: The lost media community has uncovered a new antagonist
Gooper Blooper: For eight years, people have been trying to find the pilot of The Backyardigans, which was called Me And My Friends and featured the characters as suit-wearing mascots instead of cartoons
Jumpropeman: oh, i didn't know the backyardigans thing was a legit search
Gooper Blooper: As it turns out, Me And My Friends is already archived, but it's being gatekept by the Backyardigans Wiki administration, who have gone out of their way to delete references to the pilot online to make the search harder and deliberately misled lost media searchers to throw them off the trail
Jumpropeman: what dark secrets it must contain...
Gooper Blooper: because ONLY THEY deserve to see this masterpiece
Jumpropeman: watch, it will turn out the admin of the wiki was one of the suit actors
Jumpropeman: bitter they don't get to be the true Pablo the penguin
The Last Of The Terrrible Men: And you thought sudden insane circumcision stuff was ridiculous.
RubyChao: what the fuck
Gooper Blooper: Best comment: "Found the lowest level of power someone can have before going mad with it"
Jumpropeman: well, I went to the Backyardigans wiki, hoping to find something to rip into, but they run a tidy ship
Gooper Blooper: I guarantee you if this was one of those "earnest hyperfocus" wikis they would gleefully and eagerly share their secret goodies
Jumpropeman: "Professor Bug is an evil, greedy, corrupt professor who works inside Mega City's Robotics Lab. Along with Yucky Man and the Ping Pong Bandit, this is one of Pablo's deadliest and most serious and evil roles he ever played before being redeeming." amused by this description of the penguin playing pretend though
Gooper Blooper: DEADLY SERIOUS EVIL

Mobile Draco: I'm 3D printing spiders. Not Cordie though.
Gooper Blooper: What about Yamame?
Mobile Draco: Not Yamame either. Not big enough.
Gooper Blooper: A mere Moulder instead of a Kumonga
(Draco posts an image of the 3D printer at work making the figures)
Gooper Blooper: hey, wait a second!
Gooper Blooper: those aren't spiders at all, those are clearly solifugids!!
Mobile Draco: Yes, but I couldn't remember that word.
Gooper Blooper: fair enough, I had to spellcheck it myself and I'd forgotten the first I. :V
RubyChao: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/8583806

Gooper Blooper: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/5002935

RubyChao: i saw the Rockettes show at Rockefeller Center today
RubyChao: it was very nice! very impressive
Gooper Blooper: All I know about the Rockettes is that kick line meme but I'm glad they're still at it
RubyChao: they did in fact do some kick lining
RubyChao: i probably won't go seeing it every year but
RubyChao: it was definitely a worthwhile "new york bucket list" item, of doing one of the things the city is famous for
RubyChao: another on that item is "go to the statue of liberty", because hey she'll always be there
Draco: lol
RubyChao: fun fact, there is exactly one item on that list that i would definitely not do
Gooper Blooper: I am somewhat surprised Chao has traveled to so many places and seen so many neat things but he hasn't checked out the giant world-famous statue right there in his hometown
Draco: I've been to Disney Land. I don't need to go back there.
Draco: I think I've been to the Statue of Liberty. I don't remember.
Gooper Blooper: I bet the traffic is nuts most/all of the year tho
RubyChao: it's a combination of yeah you have to go there like 6 am to get reasonable tickets for the ferry, and like
RubyChao: Lady Liberty will always be there, y'know?
RubyChao: If she's gone we're in a lot deeper shit than "not seeing statue"
RubyChao: anyhow the one big nope for me is seeing the times square ball drop live because
Gooper Blooper: YOU MANIACS YOU BLEW IT ALL UP
Get in The Water: timing
RubyChao: >going there in the freezing cold and waiting for 8 hours unable to go anywhere to watch 10 seconds
RubyChao: Nah.

Jumpropeman: Chao has sullied my Switch account
Jumpropeman: Kong has invaded
Jumpropeman: I had forgotten about the Skull Island game
Draco: CHAO WHY?
Gooper Blooper: Because we need kong, Draco
Gooper Blooper: The world needs him.

Gooper Blooper: probably says something that one of my go-to reactions for industry news, depending on the company or system involved, is "but how would the associated vidya girl react to this development"
Jumpropeman: meredith would be like "yes, streaming service, but also, purchasable copies. Physical too."
Jumpropeman: "reprint original cartridges too-"
Gooper Blooper: "Switch 2 launch title, a collection with every Sega game we have the rights to and some that we don't" "uh, meredith" "better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, the people need these games"

Jumpropeman: Guilty Kiss is what Yohane calls it when she uses that Lady and the Tramp spaghetti trick to finally get lanterby to notice her
Draco: Mamma Mia Lanterby loves-a spaghet
Jumpropeman: yohane overheard lanterby say that to herself and concocted the plan
Gooper Blooper: There's a shitty FNAF ripoff game based on the TOUCHA MY SPAGHET meme where you have to keep touching a plate of SPAGHET to keep it warm even though touching it means getting the attention of the monsters
Gooper Blooper: I know this because it's on JRM's steam wishlist
Jumpropeman: there are deep depths to my steam wishlist
Jumpropeman: the Spaghet game has a sequel too
Gooper Blooper: and those deep depths are mostly "I need HOW many more games to hit 31 for next year's Haunted Hoard? Okay, fine, it's going on the list"
Jumpropeman: we'll see if we can beat last year's record of three atrocious games
Gooper Blooper: 2024's reviews needed that boost of atrocious
Gooper Blooper: I was looking back through the archives and there was a year you had like 15 atrociouses
Jumpropeman: holy frijoles
Gooper Blooper: lemme double check
Gooper Blooper: M&M’s Kart Racing (Wii)
The Quiet Man (PS4)
Fight Club (Xbox)
Johnny Bravo: Date-O-Rama! (DS)
Fantasia (Genesis/Mega Drive)
Deep Ones (Switch)
Anime Girl or Bottle? (PC)
Unearthing Mars (PS4)
Math Gran Prix (Atari 2600)
Kid Kool and the Quest for the Seven Wonder Herbs (NES)
Hello Neighbor (Xbox One)
Werewolf: The Last Warrior (NES)
Halloween (Atari 2600)
Nicktoons: Freeze Frame Frenzy (GBA)
Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis (GameCube)
Elf: The Movie (GBA)
Gooper Blooper: 16 Atrocious. All reviewed in 2019.
Draco: 2024's best.
Gooper Blooper: and I see three Haunted Hoard games in that list by the way
Gooper Blooper: so the record is merely a tie!
Jumpropeman: i bet if gamefly still had older games I could dig up all sorts of trash
Jumpropeman: problem these days is there's a lot of indie trash sure, but you have to buy in
Jumpropeman: i did play an atrocious game recently though :V
Jumpropeman: CALLED HORIZON ZERO DAWN
Gooper Blooper: you'll have to go back to consoleclassix and wallow in licensed slop
Gooper Blooper: have another Goofy's Hysterical History Tour moment where you push past interesting games to make yourself play some garbage
Draco: I played an Atrocious game called Marvel Rivals once.
Gooper Blooper: JRM was spared my wrath this year
Jumpropeman: i got chao's instead
Gooper Blooper: one of my plans for his gift was to buy him every single Mary-Kate And Ashley game
Jumpropeman: wut
Gooper Blooper: Like the Shrekoning but girlier
Jumpropeman: i remember my father wearily asking me when the shrekoning would end
Gooper Blooper: Me too. XD
Gooper Blooper: No one's making you read them, JRM Dad
Jumpropeman: any mary kate and ashley game that features the pizza song gets Fantastic
Gooper Blooper: if Shrek 5 really is coming out in 2026, well...
Jumpropeman: "In 2004, the Olsen twins sued Acclaim because they claimed that Acclaim had not made payments on a settlement agreement. The settlement agreement came about because an audit of Acclaim's books showed that royalties due to the twins had not been paid. The lawsuit included a letter from the twins' attorney, Martin Singer, that stated that Acclaim had "taken the franchise of the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand in video games which had flourished and has now run it into the ground.""
Draco: Mary Kate Hicks and Ashley the Coven Leader?
Jumpropeman: I don't know if many licensed games have had a lawyer go "you made our games suck, that's illegal"
Draco: It's Acclaim. They should have known it'd suck.

Draco: The side of R. Dorothy we didn't get to see, the lounge singer:
Jumpropeman: we didn't unlock that route
Draco: Sadly, we didn't get her to befriend anyone at Khemet Entertainment. That was the Unlock criteria.
Gooper Blooper: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/950570
Draco: R. Dorothy actually goes up on stage to sing in the second episode, but we only get to see it. There's a voice over by main character Roger Smith while R. Dorothy is just mute, but she's apparently good at it.
Draco: Season 15 R. Dorothy:
Gooper Blooper: I found audio of R. Dorothy's vocal performance
Jumpropeman: certified hood classic
Draco: lol

Gooper Blooper: Attami's Little Sis
Jumpropeman: POV: you're a cupcake
Gooper Blooper: The Attami Family doesn't mess around when it comes to baked goods
Draco: Sage is tired of people who hear she's Attami Little Sis and ask if she grabs Cookies all day.
Gooper Blooper: No, it's Yamame who grabs Cookie all day.
Draco: *BA-DUM TSH*

(Context: I receive a Garfield calendar for Christmas every year)
Gooper Blooper: JRM, about the yearly Garfield day-to-day calendar
Gooper Blooper: The blurb on the back of the box begins with "What can you say about Garfield that hasn't already been said?" and I thought of Super Mario Brothers
Gooper Blooper: thanks
Jumpropeman: as the internet shows, there's a lot left to say about garfield
RubyChao: What can you say about Garfield?
RubyChao: He was Garfield
Jumpropeman: like, "what if he was a hot goth furry?"
Gooper Blooper: The Garfs will continue until morale improves
Jumpropeman: we only just got garf miku after all
(later)
Jumpropeman: "What is there to say about High School Musical that hasn't already been said?"
Jumpropeman: I can't believe I'd run into this the same day goops references that phrase
Draco: lol
Jumpropeman: and I am literally in the position that makes me not like that phrase: I don't know the high school musical discourse :V
Draco: Me neither.

Christmas Day-Il: Not like they have any TVs in Weav to use it on
Brine: No Maidens? Fair enough! A whole Switch...

(After Chao debuts a new character named Grace using the following faceclaim)
Chaople H: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4053116
Jumpropeman: OH
Jumpropeman: ITS CROISSANT
Gooper Blooper: quaso
Jumpropeman: "RubyChao: so, i mentioned in the past that there is an arknights character named Croissant
RubyChao: apparently they also dubbed her as a country girl
RubyChao: i'm just going to leave that knowledge there and we can all decide what to make of it"
Jumpropeman: so chao
Jumpropeman: she a country girl
Chaople H: yep
Chaople H: Didn't you notice the "what in tarnation"? Of course she is.
Gooper Blooper: *GBC and Nadine nodding in the background*

Jumpropeman: WATCH OUT GABBY
RubyChao: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3783787
Jumpropeman: THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WATCHING OUT
Harpydia: you better watch out
Harpydia: you better watch out
Harpydia: you BETTER WATCH OUT
Harpydia: *crim slowly approaching*
Gooper Blooper: I think I may know which character Chao was talking about when he said he shopped a single fang out of her RP art for JRM
RubyChao: I did.
Harpydia: croissant?!?!?
RubyChao: Croissant's design has a single fang and I removed it for Grace JUST FOR YOU, jrm
Boxing Day-Il: Does Grace go solve crimes in Fargo when she's not bodyguarding
RubyChao: that's the wrong accent, cornwind
Harpydia: i misread "bodyguarding" as "bodyshaming"
Boxing Day-Il: There's a Christmas horror film called Better Watch Out
Harpydia: naomi screams before the intro even starts
Boxing Day-Il: What you think it is about if you watch it blind, I suspect you will be wrong
Boxing Day-Il: Naomi would be completely lured in and slammed upside the head of the film's twist
Harpydia: not if its very spoopy
Harpydia: she may look spoopy herself but she is, in fact, a weenie
Boxing Day-Il: One of the Silent Night, Deadly Night films is also subtitled Better Watch Out
Boxing Day-Il: Not the one everyone knows
Boxing Day-Il: (GARBAGE DAY)
Boxing Day-Il: (That's No 2. Or rather Number 1 1/2, because 40 minutes of it is literally footage from the first film)
Boxing Day-Il: Silent Night Watch Out might have one of the largest changes of what a slasher killer is like between films
Boxing Day-Il: Naomi is the sort you could totally trick with Audition
Boxing Day-Il: Though that would be INCREDIBLY mean
Harpydia: why would you do that, you're just gonna get her to make a pact with iggy again
Boxing Day-Il: If I HAD to show her a horror film, I think she could handle The Frighteners
Harpydia: or more realistically, make nikki relevant again-
RubyChao: anyhow jrm
RubyChao: what do you not trust about this country girl
Jumpropeman: she's a wild buffalo
Jumpropeman: she'll bowl you over
Boxing Day-Il: You can make a real sentence out of saying her name eight times!
Boxing Day-Il: Or was it nine?
RubyChao: well it's true
RubyChao: her favorite attacking method really is just
RubyChao: >lower head
RubyChao: >aim horns
RubyChao: >CHARGE
RubyChao: If it works, it works.
Harpydia: DOO DOO DOOT DOO DOOOOO
Jumpropeman: everybody's got a water buffalo
Harpydia: crim doesn't
Harpydia: :(
Boxing Day-Il: Julia: -throws glue capsules in front of her-
Jumpropeman: fiona's going to africa BI
Harpydia: oh NO
Harpydia: "I CAN BE THE WATER BUFFALO... if you give me a few months to study everything about it"
Harpydia: crim inflicted with the "needs to know at least the bare minimum about a thing to shapeshift into it" restriction
Gooper Blooper: She's just trying to help PS3 find a really rare game, you see
Jumpropeman: one day I'll play you Afrika...
Jumpropeman: I'll be so whelmed
Harpydia: whelp

Jumpropeman: watching a Mick Foley documentary
Jumpropeman: *throws the bait to cornwind*
Boxing Day-Il catches.
Boxing Day-Il: Which one
Jumpropeman: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-8skMLoLi9I
Boxing Day-Il: You will soon realize what a nutcase that man was
RubyChao: i like how the three faces are actually four faces in kayfabe
RubyChao: because from everything i've read
RubyChao: mick foley is his own kayfabe persona, alongside mankind, cactus jack, and dude love
Boxing Day-Il: In some ways
Boxing Day-Il: Considering how much he likes Santa
Boxing Day-Il: In some ways it's six faces of Foley
Boxing Day-Il: Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack, Mick Foley the character, Santa, Mick Foley the actual person
RubyChao: cornwind i gotta share that i have an incomprehensibly niche mick foley meme with spy
RubyChao: it's based on like three levels of ridiculous reference
Boxing Day-Il: Ho boy
RubyChao: "Tea, look! It's Mick Foley, from /mlp/!" "He's on fire..."
Jumpropeman: i got excited when I saw Paul Heyman in the documentary
Jumpropeman: beloved rp character Paul Heybear!
RubyChao: Paul Heybear was perfect
RubyChao: i'm still proud of it
Boxing Day-Il: That is indeed a reference so weird I don't get it
RubyChao: okay so
RubyChao: layer 1: when we watched yugioh's dub, one of the lines that stuck in our head was when tristan and tea see bakura for the first time. due to bakura's real debut being in the part that this anime dind't adapt, the dub handles thus by having tristan point him out and go
RubyChao: "Tea, look! It's Bakura, from school!" to which she replies "He's weird..."
RubyChao: and then they move on
RubyChao: it's SUCH a way to introduce a guy it stuck with us forever
Boxing Day-Il: Now explain the opening Yugi Kaiba duel, dub...
RubyChao: layer 2: there's a creepypasta about a lost wwe match, where mankind is burned to death when an inferno match goes wrong and the twist the narrator learns is that mick foley wasn't always mankind, just dude love and cactus jack
Boxing Day-Il: They got Mick Foley at the same place they got the replacement Ultimate Warrior
RubyChao: and wwe had foley take up the mantle
RubyChao: layer 3: the pasta, as is, reads "I couldn't get the image of Mankind out of my brain. I hopped over to my computer and made a thread about it on /wooo/ as quick as I could. Only one person knew what I was talking about. He said that Mankind wasn't originally Mick Foley."
RubyChao: however
RubyChao: the ORIGINAL writing, which the guy went back and changed
RubyChao: "I couldn't get the image of Mankind out of my brain, though. I hopped over to my computer and made a thread about it on 4chan. For some stupid-ass reason, I decided to post the thread on /mlp/ and not /x/. Yes, I'm a brony. Only one person knew what I was talking about. He said that Mankind wasn't originally Mick Foley."
RubyChao: the fact that he originally had a completely random /mlp/ reference, and then REMOVED it, was incredible
RubyChao: and thus stuck with us
RubyChao: thus, you have the whole meme
Boxing Day-Il: That is indeed one incomprehensible mix
RubyChao: the other funny thing they edited is
RubyChao: "I decided to select it. I was brought to another screen. The description said Armageddon took place on June 6, 1999 in Charlotte, North Carolina. I selected the MATCH SELECT option. There were only two matches. The first was a twenty-man over the top rope battle royale, and the second was Kane vs. Mankind in an Inferno Match.
Seeing as Kane was my favorite wrestler, I selected the Inferno Match. Both of the wrestlers made their entrances, though I think Kane's music was a bit different. A lower pitch, maybe. When both were in the ring, the fire around the canvas was lit, and the match was underway. "
RubyChao: this is from the original acript
Jumpropeman: honestly, having the inexplicable reference would make it a more believable creepypasta to me. It's very human to pull over and be like "yeah, I'm a brony, DEAL WITH IT"
RubyChao: they then edited it to have hte narrator do the battle royale first so they list the winner
RubyChao: (it was billy gunn)
Boxing Day-Il: GOOD TO KNOW
Jumpropeman: they got to the hell in the cell match in 98
Jumpropeman: i had heard of the table, and the cage
Jumpropeman: but then he freaking gets back up and spills thumbtacks to get slammed onto
RubyChao: mick foley was kind of insane.
Boxing Day-Il: Foley recounts a time when his friend Al Snow got hit with a chair
Boxing Day-Il: Al immediately bounced back up
Boxing Day-Il: He got hit again, bounced back up, did it twice more
Gooper Blooper: I first ran into Mick via him being the host for the US version of the UK's Robot Wars, "Robot Wars Extreme Warriors"
Gooper Blooper: Knowing what I know now, I'm surprised he didn't get in there and try to fight Sir Killalot
Boxing Day-Il: Foley was critical of this backstage: what was with the sudden Hogan act?
Boxing Day-Il: Snow's response: "I don't remember a thing after the first chairshot, I was knocked out cold."
Boxing Day-Il: Assuming he's being honest, his conscious mind shut off and his body went on autopilot
Boxing Day-Il: I suspect the same happened with Foley
Boxing Day-Il: He got concussed so bad that all the higher functions just went "Nope." and turned off
Boxing Day-Il: Heck this happened to Foley before, albeit when he was an opponent
Jumpropeman: Mr. Socko...
Boxing Day-Il: He was fighting Sandman in ECW, he hit Sandman, knocked him stupid, and Sandman kept kicking out of the pins that followed because he'd been knocked loopy
Boxing Day-Il: You can visually see Mick getting mad at this, not realizing what's going on
Boxing Day-Il: Same thing happened with Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30
Boxing Day-Il: He got concussed early in the match and did the rest being carried along by Brock and by decades of instinct
Boxing Day-Il: Literally the second he made it backstage he collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital
Jumpropeman: finished the mick foley documentary... time for the undertaker one-

Gooper Blooper: that reminds me, today I reread the Shrek Swamp Kart Speedway review because I needed some Atrocious in my life
Gooper Blooper: JRM mentioned you "seemingly" get no reward for beating every race with every character on every difficulty and I joked "but did you test that"
Jumpropeman: oh no
Jumpropeman: do you
Gooper Blooper: With 16 tracks, 12 characters, and 3 difficulty levels, you would need to do, at minimum, 576 races on Shrek Swamp Kart Speedway to accomplish that goal.
Gooper Blooper: That's if you win every single race without fail, of course
Gooper Blooper: But that includes 36 victories on Parapet Peril
Jumpropeman: so impossible to find out then-

Gooper Blooper: played another Mario Party Jamboree board with Goopsbro
Gooper Blooper: it was less insane than last time, but still down to the wire, and I actually won!
Harpydia: *rolls up sleeves*
Harpydia: *unrolls sleeves* i still don't have that yet :V
Harpydia: also how tf am i rolling the sleeves of a t-shirt
Gooper Blooper: I will share an excellent anecdote from the first game we did. The big addition to Jamboree is Jamboree Buddies
Gooper Blooper: Partway through the board, a Jamboree Buddy will pop up. It's one of the playable characters who wasn't chosen.
Gooper Blooper: If someone can reach them on the board, everyone plays a special minigame and the winner gets the Jamboree Buddy
Draco rolls up his sleeves. It doesn't take long since it's a t-shirt.
Harpydia: bowser be like "seduce me"
Gooper Blooper: The Buddy will follow them for three turns, granting them various boons depending on the character. For instance, in this game, Wario was the Buddy
Gooper Blooper: Wario's special ability gives the character who has him as their Buddy free coins every turn
Jumpropeman: wario giving coins? they must be counterfeit
Gooper Blooper: But most notably, if you have a Buddy, you do board events twice.
Gooper Blooper: Goopsbro won Wario by winning the minigame, and then he rolled and landed on a Bowser Space
Draco: Oof
Gooper Blooper: Because he had a Buddy, Bowser attacked him twice.
Gooper Blooper: Then a CPU player passed Goopsbro, and doing this steals the Buddy
Gooper Blooper: The CPU took Wario to the Star and got to buy two of them
RubyChao: oh NO
Jumpropeman: brutal
Harpydia: if that were harpsibs we would have made a truce to fuck that CPU's life up
Gooper Blooper: Goopsbro passed him and took Wario back, then landed on a Misfortune space, which brings up a roulette of minor bad things (less bad than Bowser). So, of course, Wario meant he rolled it twice.
Gooper Blooper: And then Wario left because his three turns were up
Harpydia: wario is cursed.
Gooper Blooper: Goopsbro somehow still won this game.
Harpydia: hot DAMN
Harpydia: yeah that's a typical mario party experience
Harpydia: you sandbag just long enough to make people think you're out then suddenly eke out a win
Gooper Blooper: and yeah the CPU with the stars was Shy Guy and me and Goopsbro made it our life's mission to screw over Shy Guy as much as possible
Gooper Blooper: I was Goomba, he was Koopa, and the other CPU was Monty Mole. We thought it would be funny if four generic mooks were competing to be THE SUPERSTAR.
Draco: Well, Shy Guy had it coming.
Jumpropeman: villain party!
Gooper Blooper: We do play pretty friendly most of the time, we have a general agreement that as long as the CPUs are keeping up with us we focus on them, but if one of us starts running away with it we become fair game to target
Gooper Blooper: Also, this game has... PRO RULES. Which removes a bunch of the RNG. It actually reminds me of the "tournament mode" installed in a lot of pinball machines that does things like change random awards to fixed awards.
Jumpropeman: i think some randomness is good, but I'm still scarred from that recent mario party 2 experience I had
Gooper Blooper: Goopsbro checked out the changes and we agreed, "no way", because the bigger of a clusterfuck we have in Mario Party, the more fun we end up having
Jumpropeman: 3 hidden block stars in one game for a cpu...
Gooper Blooper: especially the part about how there's only one bonus star at the end in Pro Rules and they announce it at the beginning
Jumpropeman: bonus stars are like the best part of mario party!
Gooper Blooper: Exactly, and in both our games they were critical. It was a big thrill at the end wondering which ones we'd get.

Gooper Blooper: It didn't happen last year, but

Harpydia: "skibidi scooper" NOOOO THE BRAINROT INFECTS THE CHILDREN

Draco: Clownpiece Frontiers
Jumpropeman: who's that random fairy with clownpiece
Jumpropeman: no I wasn't trying to find Clownpiece in a Sonic Adventure pose

RubyChao: yeah, that's a generic stage fairy

(Re: ad blockers)
Gooper Blooper: Youtube is basically intolerable if you leave the ads on, you can't even navigate the progress bar without commercials
Draco: Youtube with ads sucks.
Gooper Blooper: It's funny how I always disliked ads, but now I like ads if they're old
Gooper Blooper: if youtube's interruptions were goofy 80s and 90s commercials about hot wheels gorilla monsters and THE DARKCLAW maybe I wouldn't mind them so much

RubyChao: "In college, and since the 2015 season the NFL as well, a defender can also score two points for his team if he intercepts the attempt (or recovers a blocked kick) and carries it ALL the way back to the other end zone. This is very rare—it requires a fumble or an interception followed by a roughly 100-yard dash, carrying the ball with 11 angry men in pursuit."
RubyChao: fun fact
RubyChao: this very specific thing happened in the game i watched today
RubyChao: it was admittedly very impressive
RubyChao: it would have been nicer if it was the team i was pulling for-
RubyChao: (we won anyway, but still)
Gooper Blooper: Ah yes, the prequel to the courtroom drama classic
Gooper Blooper: 11 Angry Men

Jumpropeman: link
RubyChao: i see we have gooper's next sonic plot
Jumpropeman: Sage so confused
Gooper Blooper: sawnik
Draco: Sage will fight them all.
Draco: Ready to make an omelette: link link link
Jumpropeman: Sage rocks the eggman jacket
Gooper Blooper: first one, I can't unsee the Eggman logo behind her giving her mickey mouse ears
Jumpropeman: haha
Draco: Well, they're both evil empires, right?
Jumpropeman: she just got back from disney land and is ready for trouble
Jumpropeman: Sage is a pretty clever name, if you rearrange the letters, you of course get... Geas, a reference to the fact she's bound by her adherence to code
Gooper Blooper: To be this good takes Sages.
Jumpropeman: rainbow dash got a new cat she named Sage
RubyChao: what about the fact that you can rearrange it to say Esga
RubyChao: what then?
Jumpropeman: she doesn't know the Sega character
Jumpropeman: but between Brownie and her previous cat, Pop, she's going for a food theme :V
Gooper Blooper: Obviously she named the cat after
Gooper Blooper: infamous trainer Sage Chow
Gooper Blooper: and his three level 3 Bellsprouts
Jumpropeman: CKR has a cat named Miso, and we had a dog named Cream once...
Jumpropeman: Sprout Tower is so strange
Jumpropeman: "Legend has it that a 100-foot-tall Bellsprout was used to make the swaying pillar."
RubyChao: wait, did they just murder it?
Gooper Blooper: I can't help but wonder if perhaps Sprout Tower would have made more sense if the Weepinbell alternate evo had made it to the final game
Gooper Blooper: Data indicates it was very close, and was still in the files until just a couple months before release
Jumpropeman: i wonder if you're fast enough with dynamax if you could make more sprout towers-
Draco: Worst Sage.
Jumpropeman: oh yeah, big sprout tower energy on this guy
Draco: The 100-foot-tall Bellsprout was obviously a trained carpenter and helped assemble it in exchange for some nice soil.
Draco: Grass/Ground Weepinbell evolution named Dinnerbell.

Gooper Blooper: that one anglerfish from the spongebob movie that used an old woman selling ice cream as a lure
Jumpropeman: if sheep ever rps a cute girl, check nearby objects for where the brain is truly stored
Gooper Blooper: The real Junko was the sunglasses. The tragic backstory was made up as a cover.
Draco: Dovetail wasn't actually a girl. She was a cute suit being worn by a cute girl.

Jumpropeman: i have finished every virtual boy game I own, which is kinda sad, knowing I might never pull the system out again
Gooper Blooper: congrats on the VB blitz JRM
Jumpropeman: the virtual boy 3D looks better than you'd think
BEHOLD! AN ORDINARY MOTORIST!: JRM's thing reminds me of a guy who did a 'Review of the Top 100 Virtual Boy games.'
BEHOLD! AN ORDINARY MOTORIST!: It was just a review of the Wario game done 100 different times 100 different ways.
Jumpropeman: Apparently, Gunpei Yokoi was very nervous about the Virtual Boy being cluttered with third party trash so Nintendo didn't give other companies much of a chance to develop for the system. Hence, only 22 games ever made for it
Gooper Blooper: I saw a video that was a compilation of game clips comparing every Nintendo system's first game with its' last, with dates to show how long each system's life was
Gooper Blooper: Virtual Boy didn't even last a year
Jumpropeman: there was a point when I was playing Wario Land and was like "This system's so strange I bet some people don't even believe it was real."
Gooper Blooper: Very possible, especially as time passes and Nintendo continues to almost entirely ignore it
Jumpropeman: like, if you load up the game on the emulator it could feel like an elaborate trick
Jumpropeman: there was totally a game called Mario's Tennis on this old system, trust me

Jumpropeman: one day, dawn is going to go to the sun and find a whole civilization of people she tossed into it thriving
BEHOLD! AN ORDINARY MOTORIST!: Dawn: THAT IS NOT HOW SOLAR BODIES WORK
