I don’t even need to watch the video Oversaturation and creed specifically by Activision as well as others copying the toys to life model. The only reasons amiibo have lasted as long as they have is due to legacy characters by fan favorite franchises as well as amiibo has never promoted amiibo as a toys to life. To go on a weird tangent but its a shame Star Link from Ubisoft tanked cause the game is genuinely super fun and really well designed. Especially the Switch version with all the Star Fox missions but as soon as Ubi said it was a Toys to Life game at E3 it was doomed to fail. I remember watching E3 presentation for the game too. Everyone was so hype and excited. Everyone was cheering and applauding at all the features (especially the Nintendo stuff) but as soon as they said it was toys to life an awkward silence fell over the crowd and the rest of their press conference was a dumpster fire. The kicker of it is that Ubi even said RIGHT after the toys to life announcement is you could buy everything at a much lower price point through your preferred systems online store. But it didn’t matter cause everyone heard the dreaded words and immediately dismissed it. game had middling sells despite great reviews. Semi-related but Disney Infinity could have kept going fine been fine after Skylanders stopped simply cause Disney. The only adjustment they had to make was stop doing one of the things that killed Skylanders: Stop store exclusive variants. They had Infinity 4.0 in the can and ready to go but Disney was doing a lot of reshuffling and closing down internal studios they felt they didn’t need. Lego Dimensions was just too expensive for Warner brothers due to licensing and Legos just being expensive to make.

It is a lot but as I said a lot of it is collected in trade so it’s a lot easier to digest. The trades even include a lot of the X-Men tie-in’s from other events like Devil’s Reign and the like. The only non-X Men title really that you need to follow is Iron Man cause it’s part of the fall of X line due to Tony and Emma currently being married. (long story, sounds odd on paper, but it’s honestly kinda great)

So the cool thing about the krakoan era trades is that they put all the post HoX/PoX issues in canonical order and not release order so it’s nice. It goes the following: Dawn of X X of Swords Rise of X Inferno Trials of X It’s hard to keep track after that because they announced near the end of the Trials of X trades they were not going to collect the rest of the krakoan era in trades. In English anyways? Destiny lf X was printed in France only for some reason. Which is dumb cause I have HoX/PoX through all of trials of X Judgement Day (Avengers vs. X-Men vs. Eternals) and Sins of Sinister events are after that. Trials of X I just don’t exactly remember when. the current and last leg of the krakoan era is called “Fall of X” and it’s almost entirely 4 issue mini’s with main title tie ins here and there. Theres only like 3 main ongoing titles right now which are Wolverine, X-Force and X-Men. Everything else has been mini’s and one-shots.

I do mainly because they axed the best era of X-Men comics since Morrison/Quitely for the sake of nostalgia and ‘brand synergy”. I don’t really want to support that. It makes me unreasonably upset. X-Men 97 also represents a lot of issues readers have with comics. Which is publishers aren’t willing to let go of certain era’s/tropes/stories and just move on. They have to keep going back to the nostalgia well or figure out how to tell the same stories over and over again in new ways. It’s exhausting.

If the Chocobo flight mechanics weren’t such garbage cosmo canyon would be an absolutely amazing map to explore.

More or less been in bed since Thursday with the stomach flu. 😞

Just met Cid in ReBirth. He’s every bit of what I heard in my head as a teenager and more. They cement his (traditional?) personal immediately too. Yuffie: Wow! We’re Flying! Cid : No shit, Kid. You hired a pilot. Barrett: how do you fly out here and not worry about shinra shooting down your plane? Cid: I dare those sons of bitches to even try. Even if they wanted to they couldn’t catch me. barrett: you and I are gunna get along great.

My boy Franklin Richards is baaaaack! Let’s goooo and fuck Dan Slott!

But no one wants thaaaaaat This relaunch is regressing the x men back so much. It really sucks

Aesthetically it’s my favorite region so far. However It’s really narrow/dense while also being very layered. so a lot of the times it’s hard for me to find my bearings

Gongaga is my least favorite are to explore so far in ReBirth.

He scrubbed his entire social media too. So some crazy shit had to have gone down behind the some
