I hope Vinny never retires this segment. Easily the most comfy thing he's ever done.

[@aesthe3002]

exactly

[@nyahnyahson523]

There's no real reason to ever retire a segment like this. It's more of a limited supply kind of thing, you wanna make sure you spread it out

At least give him some time considering he’s getting tired of it.

@@Etherman7 POV: You wake up far away from your home as a Totodile, you lose all sense of controll when you realise today that Rent is due and you still arent done with all the Papers meaning that your family will now be living on the streets without your support. What do you do? 1. "Lmao time to die this situation is hopeless, I couldnt even comunicate with anyone at work in this state😔" *Flings himself down the 200m high cliff* 2. I cant give up I have a family of 2 to take care for, *Snif* I cant let them alone in all this! Even if Im hundrets of kilometers away from Kanto I have to go home even in this state. I will never surrender to magic and the Universe! 3.

FUN FACT: The South Park N64 game was an fps because the publisher (acclaim) snatched up the license for south park really quickly and promised a game by christmas of that year, leaving the devs (iguana) stuck with little time to make a game. So, they ended up using the only game engine they had (which was for turok) for the south park game.

[@NekoUrabe]

That is actually pretty neat to know. I always wondered why it was an fps, thanks for sharing c:

[@NunofYerbizness]

Personally, I think the GBC game is better, with a stronger gameplay balance… Plus Acclaim and Iguana have ended up utilizing the South Park license in more creative ways after the N64 game, most notably Chef's Luv Shack… I can't speak for all the releases of that game though, but I do like the PS1 version.

did you know, all types of peppers are classified as fruits and not vegetables. (this is unrelated to the above archived stream, but still a very fun fact)

[@idunno_]

A lot of vegetables are actually fruits: tomatoes, pumpkins, squashes, olives and cucumbers to name a few. If it contains seeds, it's a fruit

[@Vaguer_Weevil]

Did you know that potatoes are part of the nightshade family, which means they can be poisonous under certain circumstances, and is probably why they grow flowers that also look like nightshade. Potatoes even produce a poisonous gas when rotting, which sounds like a more interesting way to mur-- I mean prank someone than bludgeoning them with a potato. Just hide a potato in their bedroom and let nature take its course.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@Vaguer_Weevil any green on a potato is poisonous, but likely not enough to kill anyone. Explosive gastric distress, on the other hand, is all but ensured.

[@theonlybilge]

It's easier to realise if you live somewhere that bell peppers are referred to as capsicum instead of sharing a name with the fruit of a vine.

Did Japan also have aggressive Nintendo vs Sega commercials or was it just North America? I'm really curious!

[@Ben-do1bf]

Nope, board members SEGA of Japan was disgusted by the idea of doing that style of aggressive marketing so they didn't in Japan. (I mean the most famous SEGA advertising is Segata Sanshiro for Saturn, for Mega Drive they weren't attack ads either). Technically some ads referenced Sony and Nintendo but I wouldn't say attacked them.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

There was probably more of a level of respect in Japan than in America. I can tell you the Saturn bombed in America, but prospered in Japan, and even outsold the N64 there.

[@Ben-do1bf]

@@mostverticalproductions4808 I would never use the word "prosper" to describe any system that moves 5 million in Japan. It was a success for sure, the best one that SEGA had, but, it only outsold the N64 by a few hundred thousand units, and the N64 (and even moreso the Gamecube) were generally considered failures for Nintendo's standards in Japan. So thats not a great look for the Saturn.

the 3D in the Atari ad was really good for the early 80s

[@SBaby]

28:21 - I actually have one of those. It was kind of a brilliant marketing ploy, because the idea is it was a portable game console disguised as a calculator (the ad we saw for it mentioned that you could fool the teachers into thinking it was for school). The problem is that the entire library of games was interesting for approximately five minutes. The good news is my parents weren't dumb enough to not understand the concept of novelty items. If something that inexpensive had that many games on it, it was probably too good to be true. But they bought it, because it was only $20, and it was an easy way to give me an extra Christmas gift. So why not?

[@tixontoxin6429]

I’ve had this question on my mind for a while and this is probably a perfect opportunity to get an answer. Does anyone know if OLM themselves, the animation studio that worked on the anime, did animation specifically for some of these commercials, or were they outsourced somewhere else for cheap?
