    Stephen Totillo asked Aonuma if Tingle was gay

    http://kotaku.com/nintendo-explains-where-tingle-came-from-1686538751

    The answer?

    'No, he's just super weird'

    Yeah I don't really understand why people thought he was

    I choose to believe aonuma's answer is along the lines of "what? No. He's weird. Why would you think that?"

    I didn't play Majora's Mask until I was 29
    The thing that frustrated me the most on the moon was the goron part, rolling on those narrow strips and hitting the 90 deg bumper thingys perfectly. Doing anything precisely while goron rolling was a pain for me.
    I've had two strange things happen to me on that part. One, sometimes I would hit a bumper and come to a dead stop. The other is I would be turned 180 degrees and go rolling in the wrong direction.

    Rollers are red, chargers are blue....omae wa mou shindeiru

    Its the fairy stuff; the fact that he doesnt act like a typical man. Its gay panic horseshit

    Because aggressively weird == gay has been a longstanding stereotype in media. I believe they call it "fey". It's really dumb that it's still so prevalent in social consciousness.

    About the goron rolling it probably didn't help that my N64 analog stick was busted and worn out back then.

    Man I bet that's frustrating as shit for aonuma too

    They set out to make a strange, whimsical character and people tack a bunch of cultural baggage onto it

    I mean I don't really like Tingle but that has a lot more to do with him stealing all my goddamn Force Gems than anything else

    I kinda like that he's just a big weirdo

    I mean

    I think part of it is people assuming that it's the creators being homophobic

    Which I mean hooray that that's not what's going on

    I really like Tingle because he is this sort of irritating weirdo who consistently does things that make him seem like kind of a jerk

    But he pretty obviously does it all with no actual malice behind it, which is kind of charming in a way when you always end up having to bail him out

    Man where can i get Tingle's Rose Covered Rupee Land, Nintendo Power was pushing that thing for american release for a while but nothing came of it

    If I ever have a job where I have to make daily presentations I'll begin each with "good morning, everyone: deez nuts. Now, to our first item here..."

    Which I mean hooray that that's not what's going on

    The creators are less likely to be homophobic and more likely to just not be thinking about or considering gay people at all.

    So, a mixed bag, I guess.

    I have been starting my weekly meetings with "hey everybody its tueeeesdaaaay" for about a year

    I do not intend to stop
    Like Roger on American Dad

    Roger is based on Paul Lynde, right? One of the few things I liked about that show

    I thought Tingle was supposed to be some dark metaphor or whatever you call it to Link because the whole reason Link is out in Majora's Mask was because he's looking for Navi. So he meets a weird 35 year old obsessed with fairies.

    I like the show anyway, but it gets markedly better around the time they figure out how to use Roger.

    The main thing that's hitting me abiut rainbow curse is that it looks like it plays verrrrrry slowly

    Polygon gives it an 85

    I wonder if we're starting to enter the era where the polish of getting something simple to play and look super well like nintendo does is just gonna start to lose some critics without a little more there

    Because aggressively weird == gay has been a longstanding stereotype in media. I believe they call it "fey". It's really dumb that it's still so prevalent in social consciousness.

    I'm sure Oberon, Titania, and Mab would have something to say about this.

  • SimBenSimBen Hodor? Hodor Hodor.Registered User regular
    The Gamespot review seems to be far and away the outlier so far, with some reviews going as high as 90%.

    Just have faith.

    Well

    Like 6 more just dropped and they're all 80 +

    so it seems like Alexa may just be in the minority on this one

    "simple to play and look super well" is basically a summation of the entire Kirby franchise.

    Triple Deluxe also had a similar variation in review scores. They're polarizing games, critically speaking.

    I didn't like that Kirby game on DS.

    I like kirby platformers.

    even canvas curse wasn't really that great once the novelty wore off

    I appreciate that nintendo uses kirby to do weird stuff but I think it's been a long time since they really pulled it off

    now kirby triple deluxe that's a video game
