        You don’t even need to go as high brand as Armani, the number of random clothing stores online I’ve seen push triple digit prices on hoodies that looked worse in most qualities than your average Wally World hoodie is maddening.

        Yeesh these kids grew up with Playstation 3’s and Xbox 360’s! It does kind of make me wonder what generations that grew up with superior hardware think of the older game generations. Like Mario 64 probably isn’t even a big deal to Walky. He probably wonders why someone would even drop 60 bucks for the remake of a game that has less polygons than the first game he ever played on his cellphone.

          Speaking as a kid who started with the Gamecube but is also a tremendous gaming nerd, depends on the game and the kid. You can’t really get across how revolutionary these graphics were at the time to someone who’s grown up with better – hell, I still struggle to remember just how floored I was going from Pokemon Crystal to development screenshots of Ruby and Sapphire and how worldshaking the difference was to nine-year-old me – but if gameplay holds, it holds. Super Mario 64’s DEFINITELY holds up, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Walky’s baffled why you’d spend $60 on a version that doesn’t even have Yoshi and Wario. (The cast is probably a bit too young for 64 DS when it came out, but it was playable on a current system until the 3DS finally died and was a staple in used DS game cases at Gamestops everywhere.)

          That said, Walky’s also not the member of the cast I’d expect to have my obsessive interest in gaming history and therefore have tracked down increasingly obscure games for a previous system because they’re cult hits with a recognition of how they were revolutionary for the time even if other games subsequently did these features better. (I was WAY too young to play Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem on release, but it is a treasured part of my collection.) That, I expect, would be Danny or Amber.

          Though I could see Joyce getting into a previously-banned secular video game franchise and getting REALLY into, like, Kirby lore so she tracks down the Wii anniversary collection or something. Maybe Sonic the Hedgehog. One of those games with surprisingly in-depth storylines.

            The other thing you can’t get across, as I sort of implied with the Blockbuster comment, is the original culture around a game. Like, a new Kingdom Hearts fan by now is coming into the series having heard it’s convoluted and wondering what’s a Xehanort, they missed the mid-2000s fandom culture (thank god, I wish I could erase my embarassing adolescence there) but also the ‘oh this is a cool Disney game with characters from that Playstation series, that’s cool’ and slowly getting suckered into caring about both Final Fantasy characters and the expanding cast of traumatized, tragic children having existential crises. No one playing KHI expected they were someday going to cry about ice cream and cute fluffy Pokemon knockoffs.

            Someone playing New Pokemon Snap, or even the original, isn’t going to get quite how big a deal the original was because it wasn’t just taking pictures of Pokemon, it was seeing them in the games in an environment more like the anime showed (along with Hey You Pikachu, a game I dearly wish was remakable because it was fun in its weirdness), and getting YOUR pictures printed out at Blockbuster – the 3DS games let you actively interact with your Pokemon, and the Switch games let them wander the overworld. The biggest equivalent in making Pokemon feel real and the resulting Pokemania, IMO, wouldn’t be New Snap, but Go at its original release. They can understand that it was a big deal, like I can understand objectively that Super Metroid is important to gaming history, but they won’t have the same emotional connection to the game that someone who played it when it was new will. They might still have an emotional connection – I’ve got a lot of affection for Metroid after reading about its history on Nintendo’s old page for Fusion and eventually playing decent chunks of Zero Mission and Fusion, and therefore LOST MY SHIT when Dread was announced – but it’s different from the affection someone who played the originals when they came out would.

And then we just sorta had another one up til we got the PS1, so at least it was all Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil 2 from there.

            It’s so weird, I remember seeing the first 3D Sonic and Mario games for the Dreamcast (or was it sonic blast for PC?) and N64 and thinking they looked AMAZING at the time.

            And now I’m like “oh these graphics are terrible.” And I’m a professional artist whose been into art since the moment I could hold a pencil so it’s not like my understanding of visual aesthetics is a new thing.

          Lemme answer this from the perspective of a kid who grew up on Flash games, his cousin’s PS2, and eventually, a Wii, shortly after the Wii U came out. (I don’t exactly live in a first world country, so from the 80s to the mid-2010s, we were always a little behind on tech and media)

          Certain games I can absolutely see the charm in. StarFox 64 still holds up brilliantly, as does Mario Kart. I have yet to play a Zelda game that I’ve been disappointed with (With the exception of Link’s Awakening HD, but that’s neither here nor there). A lot of the N64 games I went back and played, I was impressed with and had a lot of fun with. With one exception…

          In my opinion, Mario 64 is… Fine. Yeah, I get that it was revolutionary, yeah everyone who played it as a kid considers it a masterpiece, and from a technical perspective, maybe it is. But as someone who grew up playing Galaxy, it just feels… Okay. Like yeah, it’s fun, but it’s also in the mid-to-low end of my list of favorite Mario games. It’s a good game, but it’s way overhyped imo.

            I remember being frustrated at first, and then I played a few rounds with my brothers and realized that a tap or two of the C buttons was enough to put the average character’s aim on Oddjob’s head so he was easy pickings for headshots.

            If you picked him in License to Kill you were still an asshole, though.

              I have only (moderate) fun with vidja games if I’m watching. If you talk me into playing, then you should be aware that I always take Oddjob, or the crowbar at counterstrike, or drive that car counterclockwise that’s a given. Also I will always win at PVP games where speed surpass technicity (unless I’m spraypainting with bullets or trying to make a specific dance move).
              That may have to do with the fact I’m from the flipper/kickers generation.

        Only consoles with games on them get remembered. What’s the 64 got, two Zeldas, a Mario or four, an indie game about robot animals, some weird furry-bait space opera, several acclaimed shooters, a Yooka-Laylee clone, half a dozen Pikachu vehicles, and a meme game about monkeys? Let’s face it, the thing was dead in the water, it’d never catch on with a library like that.

          In retrospect I did the same thing in Mario Kart battle mode. Weird play Towers and I’d just park myself at the top of a tower, on one of the question mark boxes, repeatedly getting and launching the various power ups and turning the roads below into a chaotic danger zone. I’d place banana peels on all the ramps leading up to my tower too.

          My brother and I had very different playstyles in pvp games (he preferred an aggressive approach and I a defensive, strategic, sit and wait approach) and it led to…many sibling conflicts.

      I mean, the internet does exist. I may have questioned if kids these days play Rock Band, but given the weird title of ‘NEW Pokemon Snap’ prompting the natural question of ‘new compared to what?’ I would expect they’re vaguely aware at least of the original. If they had a Wii U (hahahaha but technically possible) or Wii (WAY more plausible) they may even have played the original on Virtual Console.

      But they have no idea of the experience of getting your favorite pictures printed out at a Blockbuster, so even if they played it, they don’t truly Know it.

      Eh, I don’t remember much about the franchise as a kid — never played the games or watched the show or movies.

      The only thing I remember about it is playing with the McDonalds happy meal toys, and pretending Ronald McDonald was beating them around and shoving them in his meat grinder or something. I dunno — I guess I loved their chicken nuggets alot, and I thought that’s what made them taste so good?

      You’re forgetting about the parents. As long as the parents played, these kids are likely to experience it. I got roped into (and fell in love with) my parents’ music preferences. Billy Joel, Cat Stevens, John Denver, these weren’t for my generation, but I still got to hear them and enjoy them. More to the point, my dad had me playing older game systems like the NES (I’m 24 for reference). I played and got frustrated with Duck Hunt.

Unless it’s their sister who’s the primary player. Also: Do kids these days still play Rock Band? Genuine question, I know there haven’t been new games in a while because the market got oversaturated but I could see people playing older copies.

      I haven’t played any of the games in the extended franchise (hot take: The Guitar Hero games are objectively mechanically superior, round buttons on the track versus RB’s bars is far easier to track and play but besides that are functionally identical and can therefore be lumped under a single umbrella) in a hot minute, but I bet if you had copies of the games and DLC they’d still make a great party game.

        Yeah, it’s finding the copies and the controller that I expect would be the sticking point. I’m not sure most Gamestops still stock used ones, that’s wall space they could fill with Funko Pops.

        And yeah, it’s the same franchise, Harmonix made the first few Guitar Heroes before deciding to expand to Rock Band, that’s all the difference there really is.

          I wandered into a Game Stop recently, just to see what they had. Most of the store was devoted to non game stuff, mostly Funko Pops. Honestly don’t understand how they have managed to stay in business.

          Also, my kids and I played Guitar Hero on the Wii, I managed to get pretty good, but they still always kicked my ass (I could beat them on Dance Dance however. My daughters friends thought I was the coolest dad). I thought about practicing enough to be able to beat them, then decided if I was going to devote that much time, I might as well learn to play a real guitar, so I did that instead.

      I don’t think it will be that bad. I actually think Lucy should be more forceful if she actually want him to wear something nice. Not that she really has the right to dictate how he dresses, but he’s proven to be a huge pushover on this if his history with Dorothy is anything to go by.

        I recently heard a different take on that old story, involving two identical hedgehogs rather than a turtle, some severe gaslighting, the hare dying in one way or another and the hedgehogs dancing on his grave. Granted, this version was recounted second-hand during a chaotic Let’s Play, allegedly originating from a Certain Infamous Swiss Artist, so it may have been bullshit.

    To all those who think Lucy shouldn’t change try to change Walky, that she knew what he was like before they got together I would normally agree with you however in this case because its Walky he really does need someone to mother him because he’s not capable of looking after himself

    The most unbelievable thing about this comic isnt the superhuman aspects of Sal or Amber nor is it Becky walking away from a car flipping multiple times with nary a scratch but that a dirty, smelly creature like Walky keeps scoring women the way he does

      Being hot and charming will get you pretty far. And let’s not pretend Walky’s living in squalor or anything: his room is disheveled but never a pigsty, and he’s not really implied to neglect bathing or anything. The worst he does is re-wear clothes with food stains on them because he hates laundry. Which is hardly a cardinal sin in 1st year of college.

        He’s probably not big on laundry (I don’t imagine that was a skill his mum thought he might need) which means he’s probably wearing the same t shirts and undies for days on end

        Hot is subjective but I think his best asset is that he’s none threatening, he’s got no backbone, he’ll do what you tell him to and he won’t challenge you which is attractive to some people

        Having said that he’s a very good first boyfriend for Lucy though hopefully she’ll move on to someone better down the track

          Doing laundry isn’t really that difficult when you have machines at your disposal, it just takes time. (He would just have to babysit the machines he uses because they’re shared, but that’s just playing on the Switch in the laundry room instead of his dorm.)

          That said, Linda probably never showed him, and a lifetime of “lol dumb ol’ dad ruined the laundry again” tropes didn’t help.

            Maybe laundry falls under that weird masculinity thing Walky thought, like with the shoes thing and while I could see how someone might think laundry is “womens work” and therefore something no real man should do (which is funny because when you’re in barracks you do a shit ton of laundry) I still don’t understand (and probably never will) the shoes thing

            This is admittedly a tangent but even though Booster has proven to be really nice and generous with their Switch do you really think they’d let Walky take that out of their dorm? Hell no! At least I would never do that, especially if it’s a system my sibling regularly enjoys using. I haven’t said anything negative about Walky in awhile but dude can get fucked on that one. Learn to read a book! Use one of many apps widely available on essentially any modern cellphone. It’s only roughly an hour sitting by a machine, he’s a big boy who can make it through that without constant stimulation.

            I get your point, the worry is that someone like Walky has no strength of will, no built resilience to fall back and might fall so far that he never gets back up whereas people like Joe, Danny, Joyce etc can fall but can bring themselves back

            His circle of friends have certainly been enabling him though and that is part of the problem

              That’s the exact problem, he has no strength of will and resilience Because he’s always been shielded from the world. Those things are skills built up by the human brain by facing adversity. Normally you want to build them up gradually by exposing a person to amounts of stress and adversity they can manage. Problem with Walky is that he never got that opportunity and now he needs to build it fast or else he’ll slam into adversity that might break him later in life. Like his math problems.

Combine that with the rate that they kept releasing new units? My heart goes out to anyone who is doing this successfully.

            And extremely helpful work. Some of the event triggers in New Snap are so difficult I wouldn’t even expect people to find them by ACCIDENT without being vaguely aware there’s an event trigger for this. (The Night Jungle alternate route that requires you to fall off a log, for example – even KNOWING there’s a specific Pokemon in a specific area that needs to be bonked for it, that particular Pokemon is hard to see.) I found plenty of events myself, but some of the request descriptions don’t make it clear that you’re looking for this thing and then another step, and the alternate routes get increasingly contrived.

Madden like real football? CoD like real shooting? Then why the goddamn hell would you assume a musical game is different?

        You DO realize how silly the argument is though, right? I realize I’m being over-dramatic about it, having heard it enough times. It’s not even that they are being salty about it, it’s the condescension. Like, yes, I realize the amount of time, effort, and skill are required to play real guitar. That’s why I play a game. Because I don’t have the time to learn “Freebird” on a real guitar but I can play it great when its 5 buttons and a flick-stick.

        And to any responses about how I consider Booster worse than Mike; Mike was cartoonishly evil. He wasn’t realistic in his maliciousness, even if there were “good intentions” that never seemed to culminate. Booster is realistically a huge asshole. Thus, I feel they are worse in that that their actions can be seen as reasonable for a real person to do and thus should be called out for being a tremendous asshole.

        tl:dr Booster is worse than Mike because real assholes are worse than cartoon villains.

They don’t say anything condescending here – I doubt they actually think Walky believes it’s real photography. But Booster cares about photography and so is gonna salt about it whenever it comes up.

    Here’s back in 2017.

          This is actually true but not in the way you’re thinking, and I’m going to prove it using Shonen anime.

          Vegeta blows up a planet and Bakugo bullied Deku and at the start of the comic told him to go kill himself. Both of these characters are extremely popular, mind (and the author of HeroAca has expressed regret that he included that scene at the start since he feels it made Bakugo too/i> cruel), but you’re never gonna have someone go “smh I can’t believe Vegeta was a marauding space pirate and blew up that bug planet” because there are no actual marauding space pirates who blow up bug planets in real life, but bullying a kid all his life? Kinda hits close to home!

          Or TLDR: situations analogous to reality will draw stronger reactions from the audience than those that are of greater consequence to the story but don’t have much in the way of realistic anchoring. No one’s ever actually blown up a planet before, it’s inherently an act of fantasy even though it’s just killing a whole bunch of people, something actual human beings have done, but with a bigger number.

            Oh yeah the Umbridge vs Voldemort paradox. What I was aiming was more that “Fictional characters exist to entertain us, an evil character can be very entertaining but an annoying character isn’t and so is easier to hate, because they take enjoyment out of the piece of media we are consuming.”

            Is it unreasonable to show stronger reactions to something one would or did actually deal with in real life as opposed to something that is literally beyond reality? Should I hate Frieza for blowing up the world the same way I hate Hitler for killing millions of real people? In the end, people react to characters the way they would react to real people. Like you said, people aren’t going to care about the genocide of a planet because it’s literally out of the scope of reality.

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.
theradr.bsky.social's user avatarRabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social ⋅ 21d
If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

It's not just that he and his policies are unpopular, there's a clear and demonstrated enthusiasm differential now. His base is energetically absent, ours is livid and out in the streets.

Turns out the guy was Chuck Ayers, a nationally recognized cartoonist and creator of Crankshaft. He had a lot to say but the thing that struck me was that when he talked about whats going on now, I could see he was holding back emotion. All this still hurts him to see 55 (!!) years later.
