You just wait until my uncle hears about this!
There are people on this board RIGHT NOW who will defend nepotism when you attack it.
>>743718741Yeah? Its fun to take contrarian positions on topics.
Anyone notice he had an evil pig on his team
>>743718741Nepotism amongst family is fine if the offspring genuinely want to take over the business someday and work hard to achieve it. Nepotism amongst third worlders (technically more "cronyism") based entirely on similar skin tones or religious beliefs is the cancerous kind, because chances are they just want a free ride and will go mooch off someone else's fortune once they ruin your company.
YOU FUCKED UP MY FACE
why does he sound like seth green
>>743718712I'm 99% sure Andross doesn't give an actual fuck about Andrew.
>>743719590No.They mean it.
>>743719727>Nepotism amongst family is fine if the offspring genuinely want to take over the business someday and work hard to achieve itHow often have you seen it pan out this way
>>743719863He looks like a Seth Green ape NFT too
>>743719908Some parts of the Holoviewer in the Star Fox remake come across as a somewhat "unreliable narrator," but if you take everything at face value they're pretty explicit about Andross telling Star Wolf they HAVE to have his nephew on the team and they HAVE to keep him safe. Wolf even reminds everyone to cover Andrew because that's "where the money comes from."
>>743719790His nose is plugged too.
>>743718712Putting him in a neck brace was funny
>>743720486Kind of still sounds like he's just using him as a pawn to keep SW in line
>>743718712You just wait until your uncle hears from me.
>>743718712I always play him in multiplayer and spam emotes
>>743718712https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9z8RbcXwIA
>>743720646for me, I go for Peppy if i'm on star fox, and Andrew on star wolf
>>743720646I go Peppy and Pigma every time.And I'm too busy SMOKIN folks usually.
>>743720293There's no reason to defend nepotism.Everyone will always say they're against it in the hope that nobody will favor their family over their own, only to favor their own family when they can.
>>743718712Monke
>>743720680It's hilarious it seems like Pigma cut his mic and intentionally provokes Fox to get him to ignore how unraveled Andrew sounds.
>>743720796Sir.>>743719727
>>743720486That feels less unreliable narrator and more "facts" especially given Andrew was almost immediately kicked off the team after Andross was killed. But he still had enough sway to take over the Venomian Army.
>>743719702That reward's as good as mine!
>>743720351My grandpa owned a construction company that my uncle wanted to take over from him when he retired, and according to my dad (who became a doctor, runs his own practice now) he apparently expanded it massively and could earn 8 figures if he decided to sell it.
>>743722353Now, are we sure this isn't just boomer-timing of some kind?https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1784604427642600.webm
>>743722508Well seeing as he took over in 95ish and that construction necessitates constructing new things, I doubt it, especially seeing as he took it from a crew of one smallish team to like 10, no.Why is it so difficult for people these days for people to accept that some people are just more competent than them? You see it all the time with midwits malding about Musk for example, when the guy's a trillionaire. You can only cope with the "his dad was also rich" before you have to admit that he has business acumen.
>>743722740>Why is it so difficult-Yeah I was going to read the rest of your post but then you got huffy for no reason.Kick rocks, faggot.
>>743722773>huffyMore like confused. Envy I can understand, but I genuinely cannot understand a 20 something McDonald's employee looking at a trillionaire and going "yeah, I could do that as well". It's just delusional to me. Is it just how they get through the day, denying reality?>Kick rocks, faggot.Mald in poverty nigger.
>>743719727False premise, pointless distinction - farce
>>743720357Lmao true
Another Starfox Shitpost https://youtu.be/kuc98zTO6DA
>>743722978You see how you're the first person to bring up fast food? When I say 'for no reason' that's what I mean.
>>743720486>Star Wolf is entirely funded as a vanity project for Andross’ fuck up nephewIncredibly based writing
>>743720646Every character manages to be a great pick when the stupid ones are even funnier. I have no problem picking Slippy at all
>>743722773Cringe>>743722978Based
>>743723357Do you find that people fall for this?
>>743722740Nta and that’s fine i believe you and im proud of your uncle and lineage but this that’s not even what nepotism is. Im not saying your uncle didn’t have ‘some’ advantage but its not unfair or conniving to be properly mentored by a parent, even if that’s not accessible to all. Nepotism is mostly associated with giving family jobs they're not fit for and i imagine your uncle would heavily disagree with the word ‘nepotism’ directed anywhere near him
>>743723259>You see how you're the first person to bring up fast food?Because it's the stereotypical "you've fucked up at life" type job? Do I need to modernize for the times? "It's like an uber driver" etc? Frankly, I think you're just dancing around instead of addressing the point.
>>743723395You just did
>>743723547No.
>>743723489No no.You strayed from the question you were asked, and invited yourself to your own rant.It was stupid.
I really miss Andrew's old VA. Wolf and Pigma are fine, Leon and Andrew got done real dirty.
>>743723483>im proud of your uncle and lineage but this that’s not even what nepotism isIt's literally the definition of nepotism.>Nepotism is mostly associated with giving family jobs they're not fit for I agree that it's what it should mean, but in reality it's basically getting into a business or whatever thanks to help from family, partial or in full. That means my uncle is the same as Jayden Smith getting film roles.>i imagine your uncle would heavily disagree with the word ‘nepotism’ directed anywhere near himHe'd probably just laugh. If you kept going on about it he'd probably just no invite you back to dinner.
>>743723627No, I addressed the question that you asked (is your uncle's success purely because of good timing: TL;DR no) and asked my own leading on from that after answering it, which you're apparently incapable of answering.
>>743723779You're asking someone else.
>>743723910Don't interject into a conversation or argument without saying "nta" in the future then, I'd advise lurking for at least one more year before embarrassing yourself like that.
>>743724008No, you don't understand what I just said.
>>743720613I mean would you trust non monkeys?
OIIA OIIA
>>743724356I don't think you understand anything.
>>743724617Your problems began here. >>743722740Don't do that again.Assume the best of intentions from the person opposite until they PROVE the demons in your head are accurate.
>>743724562I still can't believe people fell for the AI slop version.Also this version of Katt is the best, because she's relentlessly teasing Falco.
>>743725179>"Falco, you TRUST these guys?!"Katt I am so sorry
>>743725179Once again it proves "AI" was a mistake
>>743718712silly monke
>>743719702I'd really prefer if you told me more about evil pigs.
>>743719908It'd actually be far more interesting if he really did deeply care for his nephew.
>>743725558@grok make caveman a woman and make chibi more chad like
>>743725220>Katt calls Falco 'Lombirdy'>Fox calls him that too The voice acting might have been less fun, but it still has its moments. Same with Wolf telling Pigma and Leon to cover Andrew and reminding them where the money's coming from.
>>743725925I agree. Some of the comics from what I read made Andross out to be a bit more of a sympathetic villain, tragic backstory-esque stuff. The games just show depict him as an insane fool.>>743726494A lot of the new dialogue and holders stuff helps flesh out the characters, even if their lines don't convey quite as much raw emotion (typically). I don't know that I could really say which version is truly definitive, but '26 is currently my favorite rendition of the game (shiny new toy).
>>743723686The definition of nepotism is ‘unfair’. Do you consider your uncle’s operation ‘unfair’?>that means my uncle basically Jayden Smith HA thank god you’re telling me that or would you rather face him? Or should I be even clearer JAYDEN SMITH COULDN’T PERFORM
>>743726978Leave him alone... Jayden had... a hard life...
>>743718712Whenever someone undoubtedly picks Wolf I always pick Andrew in multiplayer and like to emote a lot.
>>743720646I literally came here to say this
>Bubsy >Mina>NuStarfox>Palworld 1.0What a f*rry year for VidyaI like it
>>743719727You literally by definition cant work harder if you are someone on the inside. No matter how hard you work unless you were a bastard child left on the streets you cant get the experience of building something from the ground up yourself. There hasnt been a single nepobaby in any industry that has ever been able to keep the legacy of their fathers company going strong.Hell I think the ONLY place where nepotism works is in the acting industry, and thats only really cause even if you are the daughter of Tom Hanks you still end up just following marching orders from the Director and not running a whole brick and mortar business
>>743724649You literally asserted that my uncle just got lucky retard. The "demon" is right in front of me.
>>743726978It doesn't have to be "unfair", I'm saying that the definition is dumb because both those that can do the work and can't do the work are both beneficiaries of nepotism, I'm not arguing that it's a good definition.
>>743722317I just realized that's supposed to be a pig
>>743727917You are describing your own doubts about if someone (or your uncle) can ever truly deserve a position if a crony mentored them for it, my friend. Websters defines this as not the case (and i agree who are they not to judge?)
>>743727109His father thought he could train him for a fake job. What happens to slave training his son to be like him, who doesn’t even know he’s a slave? And I’m sure the famously fatherless Will Smith’s participation was merely an effort, nothing natural for him. Two fatherless bastards trying to raise eachother to be bucked really
>>743728121You almost pity him but all the riches could've gone to a proper education or actually trying to be a father and instilling your child with a soulI just wanted to post the bullshit toblerone anime trash tbdesu
>>743728201Oh yeah Will is nothing to be proud of, though if I met him I would put a hand on his shoulder and say otherwise, because I bet he needs that. His first kid is a fucking genius, man, becoming normal like that. Master cycle breaker under the ultimate mind-slave. Would love an honest interview with him
>>743719727It used to be that family would train family in their craft and because of that, said family would be competent at it. Now somehow that's seen as bad and kids should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
>>743728285>Master cycle breakerTakes a lot of dedication and resilience, pretty respectable. Underwent something of that nature and it made me into the proper self-sufficient man I am today. Don't take the easy way IMO
>>743720680
>>743728602I admire it in other people because I admire it in myself and thank god my father paved the way or else I’d probably be a pink broccoli haired trans french impressionist.
>>743729013I'll drink to that anon, wish you well.
>>743729167Thanks friend, crazy this was a starfox thread
>>743729250Starfox fanbase is made up of the most ragtag, bewilderingly assembled group of weird fucks from all corners of vidya. Im actually going to go play some '26 now, cheers
Strange, I thought we only whine about videogames, not actually play them
>>743731013You're mistaking /v/irgins for sonyfags aka election tourists.
>>743723667>Bow before the great Andross
>>743731013>whine about expectations of vidya>it comes out, you hopefully play it>whine about game even if it's good>or lavish it with praise (????)I put a lot more respect on /v/aggots that actually play a game and give it a proper shitroast. Goes the other way too, can't just sing a new titles praises.'26 Multiplayer kind of misses the mark for me. Fun but extremely barebones. I was also surprised by no new surprise missions of any types - nothing like the missions in the Rogue Squadron series, where you play villain for a post-game missions or two. Voice acting is serviceable but a valid complaint. Etcetera. Gotta go try out Expert Campaign
>Saw a cute picture of young Fay meeting Andrew as children and giving him back a handkerchief that belonged to him>Now I can't find it for the life of meI hate Twitter as an artist gallery. Always save everything you find.
>>743731925The way it refreshes whenever you toggle away, fucking sucks. I've lost a lot of great art and lewds this way. I'll keep an eye out for you, fingers crossed
>>743731925Have you tried Tumblr?
>>743731962It's only gotten even worse as an art gallery because you can't browse through people's Likes anymore to find shit.>>743731969I think it was a Japanese artist.
>>743732074I stopped giving shit about twitter after the "scan to verify age" thing they added
>>743732191Nta but can't relate... yet.
Never mind, I found ithttps://x.com/Katamichi2000/status/2077467946361012253
>>743732795Thanks anon!
>>743732795>>743732828What adorable drawings.Algo recently gave me videos about Dinosaur Planet. From what I gather Imamura pestered Miyamoto to let him make another Starfox game, Miyamoto saw the early footage of DP and convinced everyone to make SFA based on DP instead of making proper Starfox game.90s were wild for gaming.
I could use some help here, Fox.I`l take this.Get the one behind me
I miss the "These guys are CRAZY" line in Area 6
>>743735531Falco is such a good wingman
>>743735576I miss the original shogun pilot sounding like a total dick. I like the game but some of the enemy voice acting is a clear downgrade.
>>743720486I liked the detail that Cornerian Intel recommended AGAINST hiring Star Fox, that coupled with how Pepper was kinda blase about payment early on and most of the "failures" not really being dwelled on if you play badly gives the vibes they didn't really expect Star Fox to be able to do shit.
>>743735747There are a lot of pointless changes, and I feel like it's because they want you to take it more seriously. Changing Fox's "Sorry to jet, but I'm in a hurry!" to "Sorry to jet, but we've got places to be" is one of those changes that kinda makes him a bit duller as a protagonist dialogue wise.>>743735817To be fair, if you fuck up every planet (Allowing the Katina base to be destroyed, Slippy getting captured, etc.) and get to Venom 1, it may as well be a bad ending. You basically didn't actually do shit, but Pepper still gets the bill.Also, it's interesting to see characters like Bill getting much more recognition thanks to this game. Only Katt was ever really discussed prior, and that's just because of the sex appeal aspect, on top of being one of the very few female characters the series is known for.
>WAAAZZUUUP
>>743736101The face cam stuff alone ensures that we'll be getting memes for a long time
>>743736282See:>>743723234>It expired in 1997Shit. Peppy's old
>>743736406I wonder if Nintendo would be willing to do this stuff for Mario characters at some point
>>743736560What if we get Warioware with head bobbing gimmick?
>>743719590Seek help.
>>743735576I still mentally insert "WHAT THE HECK" into Star Wolf fights.
>>743736797I miss that line for Wolf, like he can't fucking believe the audacity Fox has to somersault while he's tailing him. I do also miss Wolf's accent from 64, because it makes both him and Leon more akin to Bond villains.
>>743735942They removed the "you're good, but I'm better" line from Wolf. Why? Cant kids deal with banter implying they are bad?
>>743736904I miss the lines of Pigma really rubbing it in that he's the reason James is dead. It's probably one of the reasons why Fox tried putting distance between him and his father in his heart, because he knows that's a weakness that can be exploited. I'm sure Pigma knows it would burn someone like Fox up and distract him if he keeps throwing it in his face.
It is impressive how good this game is in every way except the writing and voice acting.
>When Lombirdie pops up in nearby sector
>>743737149The writing is fine for what it is, it's the delivery for the most part.
>>743720680top kek
>>743737149I think the mission to purge the dub of accented American English is the main culprit.
>>743737149yeah my biggest problem with nintendo games is they always go for the cheapest and least talented california slime for their english VA
>>743737704The problem are theater kids who want to be voice actors, but the only thing they know is how to do a modern anime voice. Not to mention shit like unions that no one wants to work with anymore because of outrageous costs, even though these industry standard voice actors were used to working for pennies on Saturday morning cartoons.
>>743737780Its a power move
>>743737780I blame the Voice Director. I can’t dislike the Kohga voice actor, or Brittany Cox.
>>743738112What a fucking strange coincidence for Mick to be in this game. At the very least, he's fine as Pigma because I don't hear him. Meanwhile for people like ProZD, that's all I could hear while playing shit like Borderlands 3.
>>743718741there's nothing wrong with helping your family. nepotism is bad for society writ large but my loyalty is to my family before a stranger. it makes no sense to say that you should help you family as much as possible except for work, which is the most defining aspect of someone's life.
>>743727501you know there's a whole saying about the 2nd generation owner being the best one, right?
>>743738572I don’t care where you started as long as you have range
>space hobo cat
>>743728319boomies hate their kids and hate the idea of leaving their legacy to someone who didn't earn it. my parents are getting up in age and they've already started the age old tradition of wasting all of their money on things they don't want or need. they bought a lake house and a boat, but then they sold the lake house and now they just have a boat that they can't use anywhere. they don't want to leave anything for their kids.
>>743740678they did it back in the day when the world was much simpler and less corrupt so you should be able to do this too!1!!1
>>743718712>My uncle works at Nintendo He's not wrong.
>>743740678>boomies hate their kidsyou can end the sentence right there.
>I'll do you fast, Peppy ol' pal
>>743740678>Silent generation grandparents owned hotel in a prime tourist location in Florida back in the 70s>Owned a nice, big house on the water>Sell the hotel (which recently sold in the millions)>Sell the house during the market crash>Grandmother was always renovating the kitchen and literally wasted money constantly (discovered recently that they were left $100,000 in inheritance in the 90s)>All of that money is gone>They lived in a town house in an elderly community for awhile, then my grandmother died and my grandfather now lives with the eldest daughter who spends what little remains of his money>Boomer mother can't comprehend why it is that her parents left absolutely no legacy behind and just chalks it up to "God being unfair"
>>743740853I think it says a lot about the Mario Galaxy movie when the only real lasting impact it had culturally was Fox McCloud being in it. I've literally not seen a single person talk about Rosalina or the actual plot, or even the stinger with Daisy at the end.
>>743742541>watch the movie red>it's red at first>at some point turns blue all of the sudden>people now only remember how red turned blueI can't blame them
>>743742683It isn't even a movie, it's just jingling keys in your face for 2 hours
>>743726494that's a nice touch
>>743738961Well it always tends to get writ large, innit.

>>743740290>looks like mangy cat>sleeps in her ship>probably grooms herself instead of showering>probably pees to a bottle when necessary Is she /ourgal/?
>>743742541>The plotThere was a plot? Its just a sequence of tik tok clips and fox mc sexo stealing the show.
How the fuck am I meant to get the tactical rally icon? I've only gotten it once in 100 games.
>>743718712THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU'LL GET TO THE EMPEROR.
>>743742541>Surprise Star FoxThis is a stealth Smash Bros movie.
>>743722740>>743722978Because rich people are rewarded for their failures and criminal activity lol, Trump, Epstein, and Elon are bad business men who maintain their wealth scamming and stealing from others constantly. It is just that wealth makes it easy for people to get away with crime. They're not clever, they are stupid and lacking a moral compass just like you.
>>743745669Wall of cope lmaoIf it were that easy then millions of jeet scammers would be billionaires.
>>743745904It all comes down to luck and connections. Born a brahmin? That's how you win at being a jeet.

>>743719727saar
>>743724562Almost a month after release and we still don’t have a full body model of 2026 Katt I’ve never felt so cucked like this over a video game lol
>>743723234Not what you ordered, huh? Well, if you kept your receipt you could just take it back to the counter and get it corrected.
>>743725179She looks like rotting garbage, ai upscale or not.
>>743718741It is more like nepotism should not disqualify someone entirely. Some of the best actors and musicians have parents who were involved in the industry. Their work is still good.As a CONSUMER why should I care if the actor/director/singer has a dad that got them the gig if it was quality? As an actor I might care because I feel like I am not given a chance to compete, but I'm not an actor.
>>743718741Nepotism prevents me from being a NEET, I hate it.
>>743718741Everything about real life is fake. Economy is fake, meritocracy is myth, justice is sold to the highest bidder. npc golem just want to sell out and steal as much as possible for their "people" and everyone else can go to hell.
>>743749264>Some of the best actors and musicians have parents who were involved in the industryOver time that's the only way you could get in.That's what always ends up happening.
>>743731962>The way it refreshes whenever you toggle away, fucking sucks.Or when you open it up for the first time and it flashes you art for a split second before refreshing to different art. I’ve made it a habit to repeatedly tap or screenshot so I don’t miss the thing it shows before refreshing to something new.
>>743736714I don't need help taking contrarian positions, I'm already preddy gud at it
>>743735817I thought Bill didn't come help if you failed Katina.
>>743752607IIRC he doesn't in the original, but 2026 makes him show up regardless with different lines depending of if you failed Katina or just opted into that route after a success.
