The 1950s pushed a lot of social things that became norms in media: car culture, single generational homes, working for big companies, etc. A lot of this has still persisted to the point that modern media pushes it and tries to make people feel bad if they aren't spending money in the proper avenues to achieve the dream.

An interesting similarity between this bracket and the previous one is that Belle once again is the number 1 overall seed.

Other than that, the brackets look very different. Most notably because of the expanded scope of this tournament, but also because there was a different group of users that provided the bulk of the nominations. There were a few users who nominated songs for both contests, but the majority of nominations were from users who did not nominate last time around.
As long as I'm here, Belle will always be #1. I'm used to being the one to carry her and that film on my back in every relevant contest.

From the article:

No. If it has your name and address on it, the amazon Package is yours to keep. Feel free to open it, burn it, or feed it to the dog.

SML2 aged horribly imo. I played it recently, and the level design is awful. The levels are just empty wastelands that you can run through, with no thought in the platforming (there is barely any actual platforming). They fill it with so many coins so it feels like there is something. But the few scattered enemies move slower than 1970s zombies. Wario's castle was the only good part, and the only part of the game where you can even die realistically.

X6 is one of the best.

Mega Man V (GB) is one of the best. People praise it, but never put it Top 10.

Rockman & Forte is much better than Mega Man 7.

People who proudly claim to beat MM1 with the glitch are bad players (probably not so much a hot take, as it is a fact).

Sheep Man is one of the best Robot Master designs.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Everything Everywhere All At Once. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Jobu Tupaki's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike EEAAO truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jobu Tupaki's existential catchphrase "Sucked into a bagel," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Daniels' genius wit unfolds itself on their film screens. What fools.. how I pity them

I can't imagine putting a turn based RPG in someone's top 300 video games, unless they've played less than 300 games. If you want a story, that's what books and film are for. If you want gameplay, that's what real video games are for. A turn based RPG has never merged both aspects in a satisfying manner; the gameplay is unfulfilling and only acceptable if lack dexterity and mental sharpness; and secondly, you have to deal with the story being broken up among those fruitless ventures.

Which is fine because AFAIK she made the most of being in a terrible tribute movie. If she wins, however, people will find fault with it because of the crap script, regardless of her actual performance. (Note I haven't seen that movie because of the reviews, lol.)
She cries alot and gets naked alot, which is usually enough for an Oscar nom. I don't think she deserved the nom though, because she never got rid of her Cuban accent, despite her saying she tried alot, and the director even saying they had to fix it in sound mixing post-production. She sounds so Cuban the entire movie that it breaks some of the immersion.

What kind of living dex are you doing? The only officially recognized dex is completing the pokedex itself. I know some people do living dex differently. Some want them all lvl 99. Some want one lvl 99 and one untouched (lvl 1 if possible). Some want all shiny, or all regular and all shiny. Some need all versions of the Pokemon (Unown, Alcreamie, Spinda, etc).

I never got the desire for it, because who is going to want to randomly use a Gloom. Always seemed like the dex entries do the job, but to each their own. If I ever did it, I'd aim for all shinies.
