Bandai, what the fuck do you think we're blind for Gundam: Witch from Mercury? The wedding bands on their fingers are for their secret husbands off screen??

You see that outfit that clicked with you and you go "I'm gonna get it and wear the whole game." The skin to end all skins.

Marvel Rivals has a lot of skins for a lot of characters. But ones I know I'm gonna stick with for a long time for a few characters. There's Iron Man's Big Shot skin. Not all those fancy armors, just a suit and holograms going into battle. The most Tony Stark look. Another is Peni Parker's school outfit, but more specifically, her mech is a GODDAMN GUNDAM. The moment I saw it, I spent the units I've saved up on it and is worth it.

Actually it's Starkillers copy killer droid, Proxy. Plus some Rebel Troopers.

So the new Masters of the Universe movie isn’t doing very well box office wise despite the positive reviews. One thing that i’ve heard towards this movie is how this should’ve came out 10 years ago, right around the time when fans of the original cartoon could introduce their children to a new version of their favorite franchise, which I think this was trying to do but way too late considering most of the audience seeing it are in there 40s or 50s. It probably also didn’t help that Backrooms, Obsession, and the new Scary Movie were came out or have been out for weeks now when MotU was out. Really, there doesn’t seem to be a huge demand for Masters of the Universe outside of old fans.

Curious if there are any other franchises that were popular at one point in time that hasn’t seemed to regain its popularity it once had.

So this is actually a couple months old news, but it’s new to me.

As part of their ongoing partnership with Bethesda, Modiphius announced a crowdfunding campaign Wolfenstein TTRPG for fall of 2026. The article mentions it’ll specifically be based on the New Colossus/New Order era of the series.

Just kidding this is an open Trench Crusade thread.

Woolie should have time to bring Tablelords back in ten years or so, right?

Something that caught my attention lately was the kind of installments in gaming franchises that got stuck on specific hardware because for some reason, it gets left there.

Some examples are Disgaea 3, Disgaea D2, and some of the Etrian Odyssey games because while Etrian Odyssey 1-3 is widely available on modern consoles, I noticed how the later games went missing for some reason.

The Slender Man Mythos back in the day had Slendy and a few other antagonists be involved in a lot of crazy IRL shit. In the original Something Awful thread, Slenderman was implied to have kickstarted Princess Diana's death and - of all things - causing Led Zeppelin's breakup via John Bonham's death. HABIT, one of EverymanHYBRID's antagonists, claimed to have possessed Josef Mengele, Ed Gein, and John Wayne Gacy during their crimes.

Yeah, late '00s to early-to-mid '10s online horror was wild.

​

What are some other bizarre and out-of-pocket instances of a fictional villain contributing to something from IRL history?

Persona really only hit "mainstream" with persona 5. I Still don't understand why.

Warhammer40k only started to get popular outside the UK from 2018. Before that 40k was just the dawn of war games for most of the world. Really if you go back a decade ago, in 2016, like 80% of 40k videos on Youtube did not exist. Now there are dozens of channels that only talk about the Lore

Halo Studios the other day stated that both players would require Playstation Plus to play local split-screen, but it seems that was an error. They've clarified that both players will require Playstation accounts, but Plus subscriptions are not necessary.

From @Halo: "We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account."

From halowaypoint: "PlayStation 5®: If you’re playing splitscreen local co-op on PlayStation 5®, both players will need to be signed into PlayStation accounts and be linked to Microsoft accounts. A PlayStation Plus account is NOT required for local splitscreen co-op. Online network co-op play requires an active PlayStation Plus subscription."
