YouTube video by David V. Kimball What if Solid Snake was in Melee?

Melee also gets delayed by an year to accommodate the online play, but not without dropping (something like) this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=whn3...

It prompts Nintendo to invest in online capabilities, leading the console to be packed with Network Adapter, with 8GB of hard drive built-in

This is a part of the alternate timeline where Dreamcast was so successful, Nintendo had to delay PlayStation 2 by an year just to build a stronger first impression (since Sega beaten them to the punch here with the whole "cheapest DVD player" thing)

I guess I'll put this here too

... I've only just realized the irony of parody coming in full circle www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa9N...

That'd be cool too; I'll see if I could massage my alternate timeline to make that work 🤔

In this alternate timeline, it ends up on Konami as a Nintendo exclusive, but both Kojima and Miyamoto are preoccupied with their own projects much like back in our own timeline

So they hand it over to GoldenEye / Perfect Dark / Timesplitters team at Rare

A Wikipedia excerpt from its Enter the Matrix page, that reads: "Plans for a Matrix video game began in November 1999, following the film's release. The Wachowskis had talks with Shiny Entertainment and Konami to develop the title around this time. At E3 2000, the title was officially announced, with Shiny Entertainment as the developer and their then-owner Interplay Entertainment as the publisher. The game would be based on the then-untitled second movie and would be released for the PlayStation 2 in 2002, the same year the sequel was due to release."

True story

Back on my bs

What if we got this instead of Twin Snakes

modern social media has distorted the concept of moderation in most peoples' brains to mean "stopping people from saying bad words and rudely arguing" and nothing else and until that notion implodes on a wide scale shit like this will just happen everywhere forever

Never burn yourself out to make any institution brighter.

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

i just remembered that if you're monetized on youtube, you can block certain ads to specific URLs so I have gone ahead and blocked ICE ads. but if you see a smaller channel with these ads, just no they didn't choose it and have no control.

That's a relief at least

All I know about the guy is that a decade ago he tried to get chummy with "Ethics in Game Journalism"™ crowd by parroting their horseshits, and nowadays just sorta swept it under the rug
