>"The earliest attestation of the use of either x or o to indicate kisses identified by the Oxford English Dictionary appears in the English novelist Florence Montgomery's 1878 book Seaforth, which mentions "This letter [...] ends with the inevitable row of kisses,—sometimes expressed by x x x x x, and sometimes by o o o o o o, according to the taste of the young scribbler". Here it appears that x and o are both ways to indicate a kiss. (Earlier versions of the dictionary identified an example from 1763, one Gil. White signing off a letter with "I am with many a xxxxxxx and many a Pater noster and Ave Maria, Gil. White". This has, however, since been reinterpreted as an indication of blessings rather than kisses, perhaps evoking the Christian sign of the cross.)"

I have a niece who loves Kirby. Of all the Kirby characters and plush toys, what characters would be the best to get? I could probably get around 10-15 but I don't know Kirby stuff too much to know the important characters and literal whos
A friend said I should focus on this toyline since it's still in production and has everyone

that depends on the definition of literal who, most of the plushes are of significant characters for the most part, though a safe bet would be to pick the more well known/characters that actually have story, like poppy bros isn't important at all.

Small green for a change! Been a minute since I've written for Elfilis, so this is a bit of a warmup for getting back in the groove of that. Hope I can make this more frequent again sooner than later!

>>555189961
NTA but I think the safest bets are Kirby, Waddle Dee (with or without Bandana), Meta Knight, and Dedede. Aside from that, if she's played or likes the Switch games, there's Elfilin (from Forgotten Land, newest original game) and Magolor (from Return to Dreamland, got a remaster on Switch after Forgotten Land). Beyond those, for abilities I think Sword Kirby is one of the more iconic ones, and if you want one that's just cute for her, Kirby with a Friend Heart is a safe one to go for. Those'd be the ones I'd go with at least, in terms of the All Star line.

I saw a kirby asym in development and I’m not gonna lie, I think the series already has enough cool antagonists that you don’t need to make up an evil creepypastas to match other similar aysms. I modifying some that aren’t too creepy and are dead like sectonia and haltmann could be cool, though. That’s why I drew these two.

I've had a idea for awhile about a story set in an alternate telling of forgotten land or at the very least a world like it wherein a ancient is the last one there sometime in the future (most likely due to some time fuckery) but they were one of the ones that stayed behind like neichel struggling to survive in the wastes with either failed experiments or some unknown cosmic entity stalking them both literally and physically trying to gaslight them into revealing themselves/driving them to insanity cthulu style, I was thinking that the protag/victim would kinda be like doug ratman from that portal comic (this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NoNniEszDU) that would be the vibe I'd go for, someone driven mad by years of isolation just surviving in a situation that can't be won but is doing it just to spite the horror or at the very least to distract it from finding other worlds that everyone had long since left to
that's what a Kirby creepypasta should be like, something cosmic, something if placed in front of you would radiate pure malicious that screw with your mind, maybe it'd used fallen corrupted ancients as it's eyes/soldiers of war dark matter style too, that'd be something more interesting then some dead kid haunting a game or HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD

Does anyone even like Galacta Knight, let alone like enough to want to fight him? I don't think it can even work considering he appears in the game already, even if it's a fake-out.
I'd say the ideal line-up would be Prince Fluff (Epic Yarn), Elfilin (Forgotten Land), andLololo & Lalala (Representing the Adventures of Lolo and officially acknowledging it in Kirby canon)

Yeah, it goes significantly faster after releasing a full charge and gradually loses speed afterwards, but unlike Bulk it doesn't use the boost gauge to display how much speed it has lost. It also decelerates very slowly so it goes fast as fuck for a while after getting speed boosts.

It's good at taking sharp corners and nothing else. It can only charge boost while moving, otherwise it charges extremely slowly. Straight up a worse and harder to use Warp Star, I don't understand how it didn't get buffed.

Speaking of localization woes, I snagged this Burnin' Leo plush super cheap and well above what it goes for online. I later found out Star Allies apparently changed his name to Burning Leo. And I thought the Clean > Cleaning was the most annoying retcon localization from that game.
They still can't be bothered to fix Bio Spark's name though.And fuck them for trying to change Dale whatever intern got the bright idea to change his name should be crucified.

It's interesting how Adeleine is consistently shown to lead Kirby on only to break his heart in a lot of manga. It makes sense though since she's been shown to like Dedede, and she even went to a party with him in Manga Mania following this chapter because she loved his stylish fashion.
>>555858368
>why is fairy queen spammed by one (1) single dude
They're trying to get 2x to draw more Kirby art. The artist ships Dedede/02 x Ripple Queen and Kirby x Ado and used to draw porn in Star Allies threads, so fairy threads follow suit in lewding the 64 girls.

I figure it comes down to the theming. I'm partial to Triple Deluxe myself, but a lot of people say it feels too "samey" compared to RTDL, while Robobot has the whole mechanized thing going for it. And to be fair, the Armor is a more interesting gimmick than Hypernova is for the most part
>>
>>
>>555972930
Honestly if they went harder into the whole beanstalk/sky garden/beehive thing, it would’ve been cool
But those elements are quite literally 1% of the entire game’s aesthetic despite being the defining narrative aspects
>>
>>555974236
>>555973352
The first and second world are solid, and the final world. They really should've pushed the fairy tale theming more. A circus world, a beehive world, a bayou world, a haunted forest world, that could've worked.

It's more to do with Dedede's face looking very silly in most games which get adapted to manga. K64 and Adeleine's illustrations are the outliers where he looks more serious.

Man even though Zorah's story is kinda "done" I do hope Noir gets to stick around with the group like the rest of the Dream Friend cast, though I worry his design being as... Nomura-adjacent as it is might mean he gets shelved for being too different, kinda like poor Fluff seems to be

the market is much different then 2 decades ago, for one thing it's not on a system that didn't sell well and gaming is much more popular along with Kirby being more well known on top of that would also factor into those numbers.
still, I think it's going to do well but not as well as forgotten land has.

legitimately embarrassing, hopefully they learn their lesson from that game that not every game can or should be open world (and nobody likes quirk chungus writing) also nobody likes the federation, literally nobody when even Kirby treats their players with more respect and maturity you know that's bad.
dread mogs it by a wide margin.

I want to play Prime 4 for myself before making any sweeping statements about it, as an actual game it seems fun from what I've seen, I'll prolly borrow it off a relative since we share games often, would've bought it for myself if he didn't get it before I did. In what I saw of the Feds they don't seem nearly as bad as the internet makes them out to be honestly. Loved Dread, although admittedly I've always been just kind of "fine" on the Prime games so maybe Prime 4 being different will make it more enjoyable for me. MacKenzie frankly just... feels like Otacon in what I've seen of him, dunno what the fuzz is about, maybe playing through the game'll change my mind.
>>
>>
>>556117876
If the gunplay's solid (seems to be from what I've seen), sure, I'm down for combat often for its own sake. I guess the "hallways" depends on how they're handled, a lot of Prime 1 felt like hallways from what I recall (been a minute since I played it). Never played Ratchet and Clank, as for backtracking, I've never really had any issues with it in games, I think having excuses to go back through previous places all decked out is always fun, though, I do tend to avoid it sometimes by actively going out of my way to do side stuff as soon as its available so maybe my view's skewed there. I want to go into it with a more positive mind, I've seen shitposting about games being worse than they are too often to take it at face value anymore. I just hope I'll have fun with it myself when I get to it.
>>
>>556117557
I loved Dread too, and it solidified my preference for 2D Metroid. There was so much hype surrounding Prime 4 there was no way it could live up to all the expectations, but… it really is a bad game even if you're open minded about it. Being generous I'll say the different weapons (chips) are satisfying to use and the frozen lab area is pretty cool, but the game is incredibly linear, there is zero exploration, enemies are pathetic, the desert is the most mindblowingly boring design decision I've ever seen in a Metroid game, and everything regarding the characters and cutscenes is almost painful, Sylux included. I'll even say Mckenzie wasn't even the worst part. But if you're curious about the game you should totally play it anyway.
>>
>>556119613
I guess that's fair enough, most of the complaints I hear don't sound like the biggest issues to me personally, I don't mind the game being linear (Fusion was pretty fun itself after all), and the desert strikes me as closer to Hyrule Field than anything, which I did always like running around in, so I hope I'll get mileage out of it. Can't comment much on the cutscenes, I'll have to see 'em for myself. I tend to have rather contrarian tastes (not a fun time, fucking miserable always feeling like the moron that's consistently wrong, even!) so who knows, maybe I'll get more out of it than most people. Did like Skyward Sword despite it having similar critiques levied against it, so part of me hopes this'll be akin to that at least. I'm tired of the constant negativity online so I'd rather try and be more positive about stuff I suppose.

>>556117557
im playing it right now, its a good game, it does have its issues but they're not as bad as the internet makes them out.
the game is a victim of circumstance honestly. Nintendo was bringing back a long dormant, fan favorite series with a team that didn't have the infrastructure anymore all while they're public opinion is low with a lot of people actively looking at digs, its no wonder its flaws were overhyped.
being transparent about the games development was probably the worst thing they could have done, it just brought a lot of outside attention to the game that was ultimately flipped against them with this modern influencer culture.

The game is called "The Great Labyrinth of Mirrors" in Japan, so it's describing the scale of the Mirror World. The Dimension Mirror itself was corrupted by Dark Mind to produce evil counterparts reflecting the bad aspects of Dream Landers, though it's implied through Shadow Kirby that the good aspects are only hidden within them.

>>556125558
I feel like, if they were hesitant about doing it on Switch due to docked mode, they could probably do it on Switch 2 due to the mouse controls and all, you get ways of drawing lines regardless of which mode you're playing (and it'd be a much smoother time than doing it using motion controls for sure)

The Ado/Adeleine mystery will probably never be brought up in the games. But in the manga, Adeleine from K64 is literally Ado from DL3 because of the shared nicknames (Ka-kun, Dede no Dan'na) and designs. Ado's cross-stitch also carries over to 64 Adeleine in some manga, namely Hikawa's series where DL3 Ado is introduced with the cross-stitch, who is then stated to be Adeleine after K64's release.

Are you guys retarded or something? MP4's sales in Japan was looking to be historic during it's release week/month snd and it stayed on top of eShop for pretty much a whole entire month similar to Dread did
Also SEGA's current report on Crossworlds spells bad news because if Air Riders' sales were already past Air Ride's during the first 3 weeks, it's already past 2 million as we speak right now and might be hurling to 3 million either the end of this month OR next month even.

Pinball Land always hits like a sack of bricks whenever I see it in the list, the rest make general sense considering the consoles they released on and the timing (though I did think SSU had a bigger lead on Squeak Squad than that, damn). Very glad FL picked up so much traction, really excited for the next one. Also

>/sthg/ is like 50% dedicated schizos by volume
That's just the Sonic fanbase being a bunch of disconnected pockets that all hate each other. It was inevitable.
Ironically, /sthg/ was one of the best generals for a few years, before they went completely insane somewhere around 2017.

Well, I liked the Genesis ones, but I was a child when they released, so my judgment on them is less than objective. Why I try not to judge the kids who unironically liked the Adventure games too harshly.

On /co/ they still have the traditional Archie storytime, or did as of a year or two ago. Infested with furfags but that's post-FIM /co/ for you. Shame the mere mention of Archie makes parts of /sthg/ melt down these days.

It didn't help that they kept it up as a general on /co/ for two years, and did another Ride immediately after.
The first two Rides were great, man. It's sad modern /co/ and /v/ make that impossible now.
>Shame the mere mention of Archie makes parts of /sthg/ melt down these days.The funny thing is that they're a direct result of the /v/ Ride, but I don't know if anyone there remembers anymore.

I still enjoy the Sonic series to this day (all styles, I appreciate the variety), fanbase is pretty miserable though so I prefer just talking about it with friends who I know also enjoy it. Funnily enough, beating Frontiers' vanilla true ending, the speech the final boss gives felt surprisingly in line with how I figure Elfilis'd conduct himself, so that appealed to my 'tism rather nicely. Only game I've skipped in a while was Crossworlds funnily enough, mainly due to the lack of a physical Switch 2 version. Maybe once that it's out I'll grab it, though TSR did left me with a slight "eh" feeling so maybe that's why I wasn't in a hurry to grab Crossworlds, on top of MKW and Riders being more than enough for my racing fix last year.

Anyone else planning on joining the collab by the way? If not I was thinking of maybe drawing Simirror riding Riders' CERO rating (with the /kdg/ icon still covering his face,of course) to close it off. Also trying to think of ideas for the next collab ahead of time just in case...

There are one or two oldfags I think but they spend their days baiting the newfags and Amyfags.

it's not exactly a secret his health hasn't been good for while even back in the smash wiiu days what with him not even being able to drink water so I don't think it's a purely psychological issue, still that can't be good for him either seeing a pet get sick that badly would not be good for anyone's mental health on top of having to deal with the pressure and work load he has.
between his hands being fucked up and other issues he has he needs to get away from game development for his own sake, he really doesn't owe anyone anything at this point, he needs to get away from that life style, I mean just look at toriyama, the guy basically worked himself into an early grave.

>The Ado/Adeleine mystery will probably never be brought up in the games.
I mean just a simply "Here's Adeleine, originating from Kirby's Dream Land 3" in something like an official social media post. I know Star Allies treated her as originating from 64, but at the same time it treated Gooey as originating from DL3 instead of DL2 so it doesn't count.

>>556193139
I have a theory that Gameboy games had a tendency to be bought as cheaper gifts from "secondary" relatives and a lot of kids barely played them in favor of the big console games. That's why you barely hear anyone talk about KDL2, DK94, or Wario Land despite having amazing sales.

it is partly japan's toxic work culture as well, that's why high school is seen as the peak time over there even though it's extremely brutal, not to mention that even talking about mental or physical health there is basically a social taboo. that's the reason why isukai is written the way it's written as pure escapism.
any weeb that glorifies japan is an idiot, it's not magical anime land, it's treadmill grinding simulator, they have been opening up slowly about mental health as of late but there's still alot of issues there.

Reducing it to either extreme is dumb, it's a real place just like any other with people living their lives. In my time actually living there, Kansai places seemed generally more lax about stuff, Tokyo is where I did get the slight impression of people being very much more focused on grinding away at life, but staying closer to Osaka there seemed to be a lot more people going about their daily life in a more lax way. Stuff's always more complex than either "it's amazing with no downsides" or "it's nightmarish with nearly no hope of improvement"

Isn't the meta reason just that Ado is a little too close to a real celebrity, so they adjusted her design and are basically not touching the original one in any meaningful way?
It's a shame since I prefer Ado's design a bit more to Adeleine.

Ado Mizumori, a Japanese artist. Apparently, the window sketches from Shiver Star 3 and the art style of the Adeleine love story are direct references.

On the one hand Nintendo is more willing to acknowledge western contributions to their franchises than SEGAY is
On the other hand Nintendo is extremely loose about "canon" at the best of times so even things they acknowledge can go decades without being referenced directly

Wonder if Kirby could've carved itself a nice niche in the kids books market if they localized the light novels relatively close to when they first started coming out in Japan, given it's a bit of a juggernaut over there nowadays from what I remember.
>>
>>556328363
Kirby would've had to get a publisher that can get its foot in the door in school libraries. That's the main way stories like that get off the ground. And translating is too much of a pain for most publishers when they can just get other slop for cheaper.
>>
>>556328363
It would've at least helped combat the whole "Kirby can't talk" malarkey. The longer we go with RBAY being the last secondary Kirby media the West ever received, the more Westoids are convinced it's the one true depiction of Kirby.

>And translating is too much of a pain for most publishers when they can just get other slop for cheaper.
Probably the biggest hurdle there yeah, the light novels are written vertically and just given the structural differences between English and Japanese they'd likely have to mess around with page counts and illustration order which... I imagine is more effort than they would've been willing to put into it. I do wonder if any publisher has even tried grabbing the license though, I can imagine Warpstar being pretty nitpicky about it which'd make it too much of a hassle... Maybe one day.
>>556329156
>It would've at least helped combat the whole "Kirby can't talk" malarkey
I do wonder how differently people wold perceive Kirby's character if the light novels had been translated given he has a much more defined personality in the novels, specially when it comes to speaking. Perhaps one day...
