POV: you are browsing through C&C in 2014, about to have an aneurysm.

Look, I’ve already built up a tolerance for explaining to children every hype cycle that 4chan is not a magical leak land. I’m not strong enough for a new era of Pokemon speculation where we’re going to repeatedly explain AI LLMs are plagiarism chatbots that mime out human writing the same way...

Is https://smogonu.creator-spring.com/ still associated with Smogon? I can see people advertising https://teespring.com/stores/smogonu (which redirects to the other URL) a few years ago on the site, but either other posts with it have been deleted or there's just been nothing for four years...

Holy shit the ending of Donkey Kong Bananza is unreal. I am so happy the post above is the lone spoiler I let myself see. My god, it's so good. If you have the slightest nostalgia for the DKC SNES games, you owe it to yourself to play this game to completion. I will not tell you anything about...

Leaks from Donkey Kong Bananza are shoring up. If you are like me and a member of the psychotic side of the donkey kong fandom, I have the answer to the one important question. If you know, you know. I bring no other spoilers but the singular important one and nothing else. Tread carefully...

Does disco feel like a fake word to other people? Feels less like a music genre and more like a media type used as a world building detail in a steampunk fantasy. It’s got a sort of “Hey Greggario! Put the disco on the tracti and let’s listen to some tunes!” vibe.

Channel your soul and speak it into existence. Say “my favorite Pokemon is Maractus”. Let it sit in your mouth and burn into your gums. If you taste regret, spit it out and feel free to chose what you like more instead. The question of one’s favorite Pokemon for someone so deeply entrenched...

You had an entertaining thread idea and automated it to a chatbot? Is this thread really just “look at what the machine spat out”? 0/10 thread I’m afraid. I’m going back to thinking up guys.

Ostrich and Zebra DK are utterly horrifying. Never in my life did I need to see DK ovulating for ammunition. Day 1 buy.

Don’t see how the Switch 2 launch should have Nintendo doing anything but building snowmen out of their piles of money. They successfully averted the nightmare launch they incurred with the Wii U, thanks in part to a non-terrible name and not launching with New Super Mario Bros U: a video game...

Got jumpscared by the game playing a nightcore remix of baby park yesterday so it’s pretty good.

What they don’t tell you about the switch 2 is that the video game is secondary to how fun it is to load and unload the magnetic joycons from the controller holster. I am going to take years off the lifespan of these things repeatedly disengaging and reattaching the magnet to sate my thirsty...

Folks, the Switch 2 is two weeks away. I am coming to realize I am majorly under-equipped to enjoy a next generation experience. I don’t have a display in my whole apartment that can handle 4K or 120 fps. Every TV I’ve owned is a hand-me-down. The last monitor I bought has a 75hz refresh rate...

Just wanted everyone to know Nintendo dropped a new unnervingly detailed render of Diddy Kong today if anyone ever wanted to check out his teeth and toenails. He also finally beat his terminal case of fused Sonic eyes!!
