  • I’m not sure if upgrade is the right word. DBFZ is a tag team 2D fighter (think MvC2). I absolutely loved that game and got me more interested in fighting games (even though I’m trash at them)

    From what I can tell, Sparking Zero! is an arena fighter that’s common for anime adaptation games (think Naruto: Ninja Storm) but is mostly known by it’s spiritual predecessors the DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi series. Not a big fan of the arena fighters since they’re mostly yearly cash grabs with rarely any depth but to each their own.

    Essentially it’s a bit unfair to compare because they’re aimed at slightly different audiences. OG DBZ fans have been waiting for a Budokai Tenkaichi “4” and this is it.







  • honestly not trying to be a shill but there was a brief period that caught a glimpse of a post-piracy world where there were very little streaming services that had all the content you could want. It moved me away from piracy because of the convenience, library, and being able to share with friends and family.

    Ideally a post-piracy world would have the options for uncensored/original versions of content, the ability to buy and store said content locally and own in perpetuity, with a price point for access to a vast library from a very small number of services. As many have said, the way to combat “piracy” is to offer a service better than piracy itself.





  • I do appreciate creators who do their own content despite being keenly aware of the algorithm.

    Infrequent long-form content creators to check out:

    Tom O’Regan: British(?) topical/interest reviews, personal recommendations include his Obra Dinn video, Sickest Chess Match, and The Biggest Mistake In Music History

    B-Mask: I support him on Patreon so pardon the bias but he likes to take his time creating in-depth and clear retrospectives on topics he’s interested in, managing to get you interested in The Fantastic Four, Jems, and 2000s video game trilogies. Not long form for the sake of $$$ but insightful analysis of the history, themes, and personal deconstruction of such topics.

    Also check out Moth Light Media for evolutionary biology, and Lines in Motion for manga and art analysis.

    More frequent but short form (under 4 minutes) creators to check out are few and wide, 5sf are back-ish but carrying the torch are:

    CrackerMilk are a bunch of good aussie lads making short sketches for quick laughs, with excellent timing and shooting.

    Valueselect is a personal fave where he was doing sketches a year or two ago but is experimenting with yt shorts quite well. The majority of his comedy surrealist/fantasy/80’s styling music are absolute hits.

    Hope these are good starting points, I found these guys from browsing similar threads.
