🔥 hmm...Star Fox??

i'm not entirely sure what of my opinions of the overall series are unpopular but? i can talk abt the series as a whole

i've only been into star fox for... over a year now, so my knowledge is more than likely still very limited as to the games, bc i only have 3 games (or would it be 2 and a half bc starlink isn't a sf game first and foremost?), and i've gotten started with 2 of them and haven't opened one of them yet, mostly bc i've found that i'm bad at the games and motivation to play video games has been rough for a while for me

but, star fox itself, the overall series, objectively, is mediocre.

NOW, are the games fun? yes, they are, or well, they can be. do the games have a lot of fun potential to play around with? yes, they do. but story wise and game play wise OVERALL, it's fine.

you've got your "really really greats" like 64, and you've got your "shitpiles" like command (i personally think command is fine but then again i've never played it and i'm going off of what i've seen even though i've seen ppl have rather mixed views on the controls), but even well loved games like assault, ppl say they love the story and the characters, but gameplay? i've seen mixed thoughts on that.

my personal feelings are that the overall series is decent. it wouldn't be a series if it didn't have its great moments and its shitty ones. want me to be honest? i think starlink shows the best potential for: dialogue. the writing for it made the game feel so much more fun (for the star fox stuff) like small moments such as falco saying "oh i know what it is, it's a toaster :)" or fox and slippy laughing at peppy's rlly bad joke and falco audibly groaning, moments like that.

dialogue is an essential part of the series and always has been, snes, 64, zero, they've got those quick, quippy, quotable lines (say that ten times fast)

is dialogue the MOST important thing? well, not for a franchise like this, but it's influential enough that ppl seem to rlly focus on it, like command, ppl do not like command and say the characters are OOC, and i've honestly laughed at the dialogue, a lot, it's hilariously bad but it's charming that way to me.

that's my thing ig: if it makes me laugh, i like it.

star fox, always makes me laugh

and some ppl want more "serious" stuff like assault was but... was assault really that serious? it wasn't dark and gritty like dc movies try to be, i think ppl have a habit of seeing smth with more high stakes (if star fox doesn't defeat the aparoids they will take over the lylat system and take over ppl's bodies) which are serious, but not the kind of serious they think it is. tbh whenever i watch assault, i'll admit, i think it's a bit cheesy at points, but that's 2005 child friendly "serious" for you.

will nintendo after go all the way in and make a gorey, "dark", game, no. they won't. will they ever make smth like afis? no. they won't.

do i think they should?

no. i don't.

star fox is at it's best when it's cheesy, fast paced, and silly.

butbutbut that brings up some interesting philosophical questions though!!!!

like, everything about them was artificially constructed for the killing game. not just to the extent of the sdr2 kids, EVERYTHING. like, their names, their families, their personalities...

so are they even really the same people who signed up to take part in the killing game? are those people effectively dead? if literally everything about them is different, to what extent do they really exist??? 

and like, when i say i love, say, maki, what does that mean? do i love the shsl assassin tsundere babe, or the ordinary high school student who may not even really exist any more?

WHO KNOWS MAN THIS IS A WILD FUCKIN RIDE AND IM LOVING IT

uncalled for confession:

my last romantic endeavor ended so bad that i actually was made to believe that i'd die alone. straight up lose everyone that ever mattered to me one by one because they'd get fed up and realize how hopeless and unloveable and complicated and affection seeking i am and just. not want to deal with me anymore because it wasn't worth it. i had zero redeeming qualities. but my friends they they literally did not give a shit about this. they picked me up and showed me so much love and so much good and so much hope that i knew i'd been silly, thinking like that. i'm surrounded by angels, by people who've been through similar trials and pains and suffer from the same fears. but we're all still here. and we love and we support and we hold each other up and remind us that even broken pieces like us deserve to relish in the sunlight. that the rainbows that shine through are shards are just as worthy and beautiful as whole jars and glasses and we will find our place. we won't die alone. my friends are so good and i love them more than tired fingers and sleep weary eyes can express. i owe them everything. and then one of them, the best friend of them, sort of grew around me and we. did like vines do and got tangled up and flowered together in this blissful mess of i'm so bad and i don't know what i did to deserve you but god i want you so much and i won't let go. i'm so lucky to have you, with you i finally found what i've been looking for all along. i'm home, and it means everything to know that even broken shards can find it with the sun. with you and everyone who wants to come and share and rest. i'm so in love and so happy. i won't die alone because i'm never alone. i have all of you.

How can my rights just get taken from me?

It disgusts me that people can debate weather or not I can marry, or if i can even exist. This is so infuriating. How can people have the audacity to attempt to just destroy anything i could ever had. Why is this even a thing. The government is sick. The religious influence in politics sickens me. The morals of straight, white males in the government sickens me. The world is fucked and that's just my country. I can't even speak for countries where the word gay, lesbian, trans or even- God help it- Bisexual are 100% taboo. Where people die because of who they are. It just makes me so sad

People need to create books based on what happens in Sims 3.

    My sim is an aspiring scientist, but being lacking of skills or employment in the field of science that creates any noticeable results, she decides to experiment by herself. Her experiment is to see the genetic results of children paired with males in her neighborhood. Repeated for around 10 generations. But all the men are quite unattractive and would deem to be horrible specimens. The women on the other hand, are very suitable for reproducing. Unfortunately, a woman cannot mate and produce offspring with another woman. I am the god in this situation and as I hold her theory in high esteem, I will help her with this rut. I whip out a list of cheats. As soon as my lady chooses and begins to court the neighborhood woman, I will use what I have at disposal. I edit them. I turn them into men, whiling also tweaking their appearance a bit; perhaps their skin tone or eye color. My lady has a one night romance and brings the new him to a lavish double-bed on a secluded balcony out in the midnight air. More so outside. They do the deed and the satisfied man leaves. My pregnant lady gives birth and gives it the the reoccurring nanny as she and I repeat the process. Paying more attention to the experiment than to wishes give us not much experience to spend for rewards. Her neighborhood happens to be a close-knit city with many, many celebrities, man and woman alike. It would be hard not to end up using one of these celebrities. Rumors tend to spread like wildfire and the public quickly takes notice of what's happening. The lady does not as she is busy with procreating. I can, though I am only able watch from a distance and change what little I can. her long-lost lovers move on to new ones but like anyone, would still have interest in what happens to their begotten babies. So they would pop up now and again to try and socialize with my lady and their own. I can sometimes have her avoid them, yet again they always know where to look. Their children are left with the rare nanny and always-there executive butler stationed in their private lodge in the back of our estate. They stay there only and are well fed and given whatever they need. These outcomes tend to encourage company sometimes. The lovers who visit get the news of what's happening and grow to resent my lady over the years. They avoid more often and that's fine for us. But as the celebrity numbers rise as a reward for my friendliness with the popular, rumors get worse and these socialites avoid just like the older ones. that's problematic. So maybe it would be better to take it to court. No, my lady loses the case and has the pay a large fee for her mistake. Maybe if she took up a stable career in the public eye and take a temporary leave on the private science, they would grow to forget it. No, her wage is low and her co-workers scold her for being careless with the play of genetics. And the straight husbands of my baby-mama's dredge their actions with unhappiness. All the potential mates are being driven away, specifically from my lady. She does not respond well. She cries at night and is exhausted at day. The children take after their "fathers" and grow up with their late contempt. The nannies and butlers aren't being too supportive of her, either. Things are looking down. The experiment is dwindling to a permanent hiatus. The experiment only lasts to one, maybe two if lucky,and a third generation if a miracle. Misery for failure.

     I still feel bad for her. I was the one who enabled her to go through with it. Her slate is practically shat upon by now. She just sits upon her two acre plot along the rugged mountain side with her cottage foundation dug deep within the earth. Maybe she'll try again another day. I just won't be there to move it along.

     So there it is, her life work showed in her few living grandchildren. The resemblance is hardly there anymore. A waste of time, really. The life time was only set on normal, but I'm not much of a get up and hurry person.

I MUSSED IT UP.

At least I can make some deluded drama. c:

Anyways, would anyone read any sort of story or comic about that kind of stuff? Huh, huh?
