i was for some reason thinking of the remake of the old 1989 Capcom Ducktales NES game that i guess is itself fairly old by now, evidently having been released in 2013. I have long been of the belief that old games like that worked specifically because they had cheap graphics and text only dialog, if any.
systems and gimmicks that function in corny old low budget video games just make me uncomfortable when the graphics are high definition and voice actors are yabbering on constantly

I thought it was stupid when I first saw internet dorks hyping up the concept before it was released, but I did relent a bit maybe a year after it was released and watched a few minutes of that game and it made me uncomfortable. I have not checked on it since then or if the villains make any direct spoken acknowledgement of Scrooge trying to plunge the end of his cane into their craniums, and it may yet be some time before I do, if I do. What I know does go on is Scrooge saying nonsense about Mrs. Beakly’s baking skills while he is jumping 30 feet into the air and being chased by mummies, because one of the power-up items happens to be a cake. I can accept a dumb CAKE in a crypt in a stupid 8bit nintendo game that gets instantaneously absorbed by the protagonist with a bleep noise, but not if that protagonist starts talking about what a great cake it is. Then I wonder why a cake is there and how even an enchanted talking duck-humanoid is able to consume an entire cake that fast and actually be better off for having done so.

this attempt at a Final Fight version doesn’t quite work since I can’t draw haggar without meticulously copying the sprites and depriving them of energy with my unintentional vampirism
also clicking on that won’t make it any bigger because

the system I upload large artwork pictures to, whose code bits have NOT BEEN TOUCHED since ever, possibly jealous of my several-years inoperable “recent comments” box on the sidebar, broke down for no reason between when I started this website entry and now. All the pictures are still there but the sub-website they formerly could be uploaded to and more importantly browsed through on became just that text there. This website is so dysfunctional that it causes computer programs to get depressed and kill themselves.

Also consider that Hulk, transformed by magical gamma radiation into a being of monstrous size that common people are afraid of, is still smaller than a city mayor elected by them who presumably is too busy going to meetings and managing budgets to work out at all.
