  1. My go-to is always Spotify whenever I'm drawing or just on my laptop in general, although sometimes I find things on YouTube that I can't get on Spotify. Amazon Music is how I listen to music whenever I'm doing the washing up in the kitchen, or if I'm in the rare mood to use my Echo Show to play music in my room instead. I only really use traditional radio whenever I'm having a bath, although sometimes it's used as background noise in the kitchen; my favorite station used to be Kiss 100 until I noticed they started playing garbage remixes of pop songs after 9/10pm, so I switched to Capitol FM which just sticks to pop and never looked back.

  2. Now that Marvel's leaning into TV shows as part of the MCU, we've been treated to a handful of shows this year on Disney+. Which one of these shows was your favorite this year?

    For me, I have to say WandaVision. Funny enough, I think the best part about the show for me was actually the fact that it was something different. I liked the use of sitcom formulas over the decades per episode and the overarching mystery going on.

    Spoiler

    I do think they kinda of spoiled it a bit, namely with Episode 4 being a massive detour that should've been dealt with later on in the series as opposed to showing us as soon as they did, and the last episode turned the show into your typical Marvel stuff so it felt detached from this cool thing they'd been doing prior, but outside of that it was captivating. Also Kathyn Hahn as Agatha Harkness...yass...

    But yeah, the show had a charm that, in my eyes, only Loki could rival.

    Bonus question would be what was your least favourite? Mine was Falcon and the Winter Solider; I liked it to begin with but it lost me after the fourth episode so I ended dropping the last one. I'm aware of how it ends, and overall the show was just a mess beginning to end. Both Sam and Bucky could've had a better story, methinks.

    Considering I'm making this before Hawkeye comes out, I included it just in case anybody's more hyped for that than the other options for if you wanna change later when it does start airing lol

  3. They're still making SB content my dream for a Nicktoons Unite remaster ain't dead yet!

    I'll say that I'm...excited, I suppose, for a new game? Like, I'm definitely hyped and I'm sure they'll go with the platforming route a la early console SB games, but 7 Wishworlds? Hmm, depending on how they're doing these worlds this sounds quite short a game from the offset.

    Looks like there'll be at least a hub world feature if bringing back "iconic buildings" is of any indication, so that'll be cool. Can't go wrong with a good hub world.

    Should be a fun endeavor. Would probably buy in a sale though, honestly.

    easily ps3 for me; i feel so much of what you said regarding lbp haha

    Right?? Like LBP basically made the console for me and I loved all the games (Karting was pretty good even if derivative and I liked creating race tracks for myself haha)! The series basically was my early-mid teens and the LBP2 DLC just made it so much better.

  5. Do not underestimate the power of Playstation. Which of Sony's consoles is your favorite? I also incuded the portable ones since there's only two notable ones and I'm pretty sure they're never gonna make another one so may as well.

    I'm a cross between the PS3 and the PS4, probably more into the PS3 because it introduced me to LittleBigPlanet and LBP2 was like the best experience I ever had on the console.
    (Also any PS3 owners remember Playstation Home? I miss that shit so much it was so good. I had the LBP pod penthouse and I loved that thing.)

  6. Well, if you're going to include it, I'm going to say June. Spring is nice but if June's an option it's a no brainer for meee. 
    And yeah I'm looking forward to more dry, warm weather; I get to get out my yellow Converse again and not have to worry about them getting ruined!

    Also the vaccine, but I've already gotten one shot and will probably get the second one late-May/early-June time. So my summer's gonna be somewhat exciting provided my friends are also fully vaccinated by then too. Joy!

    I feel this game could've been better. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but when I heard they were remaking Battle for Bikini Bottom, I was expecting something as good as Spyro Reignited. Then I heard that it would've been that good , but Nickelodeon wanted the game to be out at the same time Sponge on the Run was originally going to be released resulting in the developers having to reuse the same music, voice acting, and gameplay, as well as several bugs that had to be patched later. 

    I would argue that resusing a good deal of audio assets and gameplay is sort of the point, since the remaster's main mission is to just make it look prettier than before judging by how much more refined and detailed everything in the game looks in general. Although I must say, that I'm still a wee bit sad that Mr. Krabs' line weren't re-recorded for this game, but I'm sure they had their reasons, probably your aforementoned timely release for SotR.

    The primary issue really lies not in how much it feels like an aged game in an industry that's moved on (for lack of a better way of putting it...I hope you get what I mean XD), but really in how I feel like it was just lackluster in promising us cut content being restored this time around. I don't think I'll ever not be pissed about Patrick's Dream not being restored. And putting it in Horde Mode isn't good enough for me...if you have the assets and the textures, and even a literal build of the level at the ready, I don't see why you can't implement it into the game; this could even be done through a patch at a later date if deadlines are an issue. And I don't think "preserving everything from the original game" is a good enough reason to keep the version of Patrick's dream that we get in both versions at the end...I'm pretty sure people would've loved to have that dream expanded. The assets were there for the original to have it, and yet was never used, and while there was an opportunity for Rehydrated to give us this...they did not.

    I mean, I don't know maybe that's just my personal feelings on that particular matter and I can respect if that wasn't a possibility even if I believe it could've been. It really just exemplifies how the "bonus/additional content" selling point wasn't really delivered as well as it could have been or maybe I expected a little more than I ought to have.

    Also they'll deadass put time and money into making a mobile port - why would you want that, I do not know for the life of me -and still not add the Dream? Okay, I see how it is...

    In thinking of ways the remake actually had additional content or major changes, because admittedly it's been a while since I played it and from what I remember it basically played the exact same as the original to a T, I came across this list which solely seems to point out aesthetic changes. Nothing about anything substantial added into the remake, just...the fact that its attempt at a glow-up has its pros and cons. Well, they do mention the multiplayer mode as the single worst change from the original, which I honestly agree with a lot. The multiplayer mode had potential, and was the only thing I recall being drastically different from the original game, and yet I find it quite an aggravating addition; time was spent on adding a multiplayer mode that could have been spent on adding new elements in the new game; add to the experience everyone already loves to give them more to go back to and more to do before actually adding anything that diverges from this experience.

    Quite frankly, I am a firm believer that the idea of a multiplayer could have been scrapped entirely and everything that was gonna sell it to players - the Robo-Squidward fight, additional characters (or maybe just Squidward) - could've been added into the main game. How many people are buying the remaster for an opportunity to play a separate multiplayer compared to those who actually want to play the game again? Not many, I'd wager. Mutliplayer was an odd decision, incorporating the few bits of actually substantial cut content from the original into something that isn't worth it.

    The game is still fun and enjoyable, definitely charming enough for me to replay whenever I wish (especially when my PS4 is readily accessible), and it's great that this game is available to kids today on consoles they'll have today. But all it is objectively is the same game, made up and repackaged in hopes of making a comeback on newer consoles. And that's all this game is at the end of the day; a polished version of the original. It shines; it's got a prettier face, gorgeous and pleasing to look at...but outside of that? Not much else.
