So if I understand correctly Hasbro is, single-handedly, responsible for the whole internet, right?
Man, they really fucked this one up...

First Beyblade Burst and now the Internet as a whole? What next Hasbro, when will the madness stop?

What's wrong with Beyblade Burst ? Shouldn't you be complaining about Beyblade-X ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a take I haven't heard yet actually. Beyblade X is fantastic and actually super fun in my opinion, which seems to be the general consensus too. It's way more violent and action-y than any of the older generations. Plus, Hasbro is finally matching the quality of the Japanese releases from Takara Tomy again, unlike their half-assed releases from Burst. If you were able to get your hands on the Takara Tomy version, I've heard Burst was a great game with lots of cool gimmicks, but the version Hasbro released had the all quality of a Happy Meal toy.

Hasbro's Beyblade Burst releases were terrible, lazy, and designed to maximize profit. Parts made of metal on the Japanese versions were replaced with hollow plastic, rubber was replaced with hollow plastic, and the "drivers" (which should have had all the cool gimmicks built into them for that generation) were replaced with hollow plastic. Even bits that should have been made of solid plastic were replaced with more hollow plastic.

Interesting, but I don't get the "Violent" part in Beyblade X ??

They hit so much harder now than they used to and have a fair bit of weight behind them. When I first got a couple, they broke my old Metal Fusion stadium because it was too thin to handle the recoil. Beyblade X stadiums also have a rail around the perimeter for the gear teeth on the tops to mesh with and launch themselves off of through the center of the arena.

I mean it started off pretty damn cool. Maybe we just can't have nice things.

I dunno. There was a LOT of fucked up shit on the early internet.

Ya. I think I tuned out about the time they started allowing emojis in domain names.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wait, they allow emojis in domain names?

How do you convert that? I want to see what's going on at 🍆.com

It's pronounced Zombocom.
