Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Adds Ren & Stimpy To Roster

@Snatcher you say people should have made a bigger deal about it back when and you're right, and they didn't because Nickelodeon kept it a secret and it only recently came out, like in the last couple of years... when the victims grew up and spoke about it themselves, so... it's actually kind of fresh. So yeah we can be mad at Nickelodeon. Who are the ones still making money from it... and who are the ones who allowed it to take place. I don't know why more people aren't angry about it.

@victordamazio true but Nickelodeon hold some responsibility for allowing this to happen under their roof and continuing to make money from it. They provided a safe space where he could carry out his perverse predatory actions... they introduced him to his victims!

@KingMike his excuse was disgusting. Nick never made a statement about it and instead are just like "hey look, Ren and Stimpy are back in new kids games whee!!". Like... Nick allowed fans to get close to him! It was under their roof! They are as much responsible and yet no one talks about it

@Snatcher I get that people like them... but Ren and Stimpy ARE John K. He even voiced Ren for the first two seasons. And then went on to make that adult version... how is that... how are 90s characters even appropriate for a kids game? If we just let this slide then his victims will never receive justice. Like he literally just said sorry and blamed it on ADHD... that's insane... he's a sexual predator! He should be jailed! He shouldn't continue to receive royalties because Nickelodeon are greedy sonsabiches who just don't care! People have been cancelled for far lesser offences. Joss Whedon was cancelled simply for being a bit of a jerk. And yet this guy gets off scott free because people don't want their childhood to be tainted. I'm sorry but it just makes me so angry. It shouldn't be defended. If people want to play a game with Ren and Stimpy then play a SNES emulator. It's 2021, it's been 30 years. They don't NEED to be in new kids games. Simple as that

It bothers me so much that in this age of cancel culture, no one is cancelling these Nickelodeon games with Ren and Stimpy. Look, I get it, it was a great show way back when. But we now know the creator was a paedo, he literally admitted he had a relationship with a 16 year old fan. Is this appropriate for our kids to be playing? Who exactly are these games aimed at? It's literally just greed. Putting in characters just because they can... it honestly makes me sick that no one is talking about this and everyone is just like "cool, Ren and Stimpy, I used to love that show". Like... Nickelodeon are trying to keep it a secret, so they can just make more money. It's gross

Re: Castlevania Netflix Producer Files Lawsuit After Being Excluded From Spin-Off Series

Scapetti

@Splodge I had the impression (rightfully or wrongfully) that the passion was kind of fake. He doesn't strike me as particularly genuine and he was taking credit for the whole thing from the start, I remember cringing when I first heard him talk about the show, he acted like he owned Castlevania! I don't know how many people slaved over this series but I know it wasn't just him.

Anyone could sue for not being involved in the spin off... voice actors, animators, it's a dumb reason to sue and he has no leg to stand on. It's an entirely different show. A spin off is an opportunity to get new eyes on a project. By doing this he's going to push himself out.

I don't know... the whole thing is ridiculous to me. For example, Dave Bautista has more of a reason to sue for not being asked to voice Drax in the new MCU What If series, and that's not even technically a spin off. But even he knows it's a completely dumb reason to sue. I feel like Adi's only reason for doing this is because he thinks fans will have his back... and I don't know, maybe they will? But he always struck me as being a bit narcissistic and he may over time find out the hard way that he doesn't have the following he thinks he deserves

Re: Feature: Our Verdict On Mario Golf: Super Rush's 2.0 Update, Including Ranked Matches And New Donk City

Scapetti

I had the same feeling about the special shots in ranked. Until I realised some characters special shots benefit from hitting first. Like Luigi's ice special which will make other golf balls bounce off after it's hit, not actually knocking balls away when it hits. Or I can't remember which character but one hides where the flag is on the power meter. This would also be a character who benefits from going first to mess up other players.

So yeah, it's actually only an issue where you wait for each other's characters if you're all being characters with the same offensive special shot. I've yet to fully understand each character's specials but yeah, not as simple as it first may seem. There's a rock paper scissors type thing going on

Re: Switch OLED Success "Could Set A Precedent For Charging More Across The Industry", Analyst Warns

Scapetti

Ridiculous, if they charged only $10 more no one would buy the OG model which would effectively make that one not profitable. It's a lot more complicated than the OLED model simply costing $10 more to make and so should cost $10 more. Heck there may even be more scarcity in parts for the OLED model. Not to mention the cost that goes into marketing and packaging and all that. And inflation. Like... come on, why do the media try to make things into a big deal. It's $50 more because that's how they've valued it based on EVERYTHING. Deal with it

Re: Review: Sky: Children of the Light - An Experience That Soars On Switch

Scapetti

There is a complete lack of information in this review and I think it deserves a second look. The reviewer does not seem to be aware that the "elf hair" and "vessel flute" are Link's hair and ocarina. There is also no mention of the exclusive area that having this pack gets you to. And as for the 30fps mode being worse? Well that is simply not true. The game looks VERY ugly and blurry in 60fps. Poor review, I give the review a 6/10 and I give this game a 9/10 pushing on 10/10. This game is HUGE for a free game and I think everyone should give it a try. It is beautiful and won awards for a reason
