“if goofy is a dog and pluto is a dog why is one a pet” is the cartoon equivalent of “if man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys”
The implication that Goofy is just a more advanced stage in canine evolution is oddly terrifying somehow
theres no such thing as ‘more advance’ in evolution. a dogman isnt more evolved than a dog, just as you are no more evolved than an seagull or coral, they are just fitted for different environments and have evolved as such
Goofy is not more evolved the Pluto, Goofy just fills a different ecological niche. While Pluto is just a scavenger and Goofy is an apex predator both play important roles in the ecosystem.
i just had the funniest experience in vr chat, i joined a random server and the one i joined had Japanese people so i waddled around in my goofy club penguin avatar that i have saved, after a while a guy walks up to me and clones my avatar so were both penguins then another guy shows up and clone my avatar
now keep in mind there only speaking Japanese i don’t know what they are saying, then another guy joins in, so i got a group of three penguin friends
we just waddle around and goof about, the one of them tries to talk to me, but not only do i not have a mic i also don’t speak Japanese, they figure out i don’t speak Japanese and start listing various places, they get the part of being European right, and after listing a lot of places they ask if im from the UK and when i nod they all just start cheering. after hanging out for a while one of them gets real close to me and whispers…
all the GIFs and pictures of the E3 Peggle 2 incident going around dont truly convey the comedy masterpiece that it actually was
The entire extent of the announcement is this man loudly shouting the name of the game, jumping up into the air whilst Ode to Joy plays, one single audience member offering one single clap…and then the guy just fucking walks off and a trailer for a completely different game plays
We should be more pro-active or we’ll see more of such sad fates of honest people.
And the utterly ironic thing is I’ve seen repeated tumblr posts of that iconic photo absolutely slagging the shit out of Peter Norman as “lol white guy so uncomfortable” “Why the fuck isn’t he supporting them”, etc etc.
As an Australian this post surprised me. I knew none of the above.

Bottom: The man is a reference to the original packaging of the Nintendo Ultra Hand from 1967, where the same man has his wallet swiped by two children with an Ultra Hand. Main Blog | Twitter | Patreon | Store | Small Findings | Source: 1, 2
The Extra Room of Mario Party 4 contains a single-player minigame called “Doors of Doom”. It consists entirely out of choosing one of two doors; each one either lets Mario through to the next room, awarding him a point, or opens to reveal Bowser, which ends the game.
The minigame is actually completely rigged from the start. The game determines how many points the player is allowed to receive and the result will be the same no matter which doors are chosen.
In the above footage, the game has decided that Mario should lose after getting 1 point. In the second room, both doors open to reveal Bowser. This can be tested by using an emulator and saving a snapshot of the game. No matter how many times the savestate is reloaded, what frames the inputs are made on, and what doors are chosen, Bowser will always appear after the predetermined allowed number of points.
