Thanks for sharing. I’m really looking forward to a Cambrian explosion of weird little movies like Kung Fury as the costs of VFX shrink. I’m sure that there will be a ton of garbage, but that also means more gems that would’ve never been made if they had to raise money from bean counters.

> Kung Fury Kung Fury is one of my favorite films! Did you see the "trailer" for the sequel? [1] It looks so good! It's a shame that legal shenanigans are all that are holding it up [2]. You're absolutely right about this. We're going to see so many different kinds of small-studio films. Everything from Yorgos Lanthimos to Charlie Kaufman to Denis Villeneuve and back. I expect lots of things we've never even seen bef…

lol that was amazing and absurd, don’t know how I missed that, thanks! Sad to hear it’s stuck in legal limbo, though, that is a shame - it looks like they poured a ton of passion into it.

I grew up with lettuce purchased from a local farmer's market, so when I first tried iceberg I was all, "What? This isn't lettuce! It has no taste!" Restaurants love it, though: any time I get a side salad at a restaurant it's 75% likely to be iceberg lettuce, unless the salad is a kind that specifically calls for something else (e.g. caesar salad requires romaine lettuce). But give me butter lettuce (which is what I…

But red delicious is still definitely apple. I can definitely understand why someone would not prefer red delicious apples or iceberg lettuce, but that is quite different from claiming that iceberg lettuce isn't really a lettuce.

Which is why I put (facetiously) in my original comment. I'm perfectly aware that iceberg is really lettuce, and what I'm doing is making a "no true Scotsman" argument. It's all for fun. If I was being serious, I would define a new category, let's call it "tasty lettuce", which is a subset of lettuce and which iceberg should not be included in IMHO. But it's more fun to say something obviously incorrect but which conveys my meaning in ordinary conversation.

(Disc, not cartridge)

Thanks for the correction. It's too late to edit my comment but I've upvoted yours so the correct info is more visible.

The American Mega/RockMan NES box art is what always comes to mind for me. All 6(!) of the games got pretty bad box arts, but the 1st is an iconic rush-job attempt to make him more mature and badass: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/q/238841

The PAL, JP and US versions are soooo different. Here's the PAL cover: https://i.redd.it/1sra7fk3bsgb1.jpg That was the first video game I bought myself.

This cover art is beautiful in comparison, looks like a proper B movie poster.

As someone who has never played these games I would be interested in screenshots of how these assets look in context in-game.

FYI they're supposed to "pop" or look out of place in the game so that you can easily see them amongst the mayhem

Wow TIL about Mont Blanc and about Tempura Soba. Both are delicious prospects. Also I’m very entertained by the ‘big bonus foods’ - that hamburger is ridiculous.

Also hugely popular in German speaking Switzerland under the name of Vermicelles.
