Angry Birds Stella

@FunniMemeBoi2023

Even ten years later it's still upsetting how dirty they did Stella after her game released.

Hey, everyone! Imbecile here, the thread mod from days of yore who hasn't been doing his job for a good while now, leading to his very fall into obscurity (just like the Stella series).

It's late morning on my 18th birthday as I'm writing this, and for that, I might as well make a move in the recent plans I've had, along with explaining myself before I return to my hole, probably to not return... for a half-eternity.

The reason why some of you haven't seen me a lot these past months is for a few reasons, and they can all be boiled down to a handful of simple things:

• Rovio's disrespect towards their fanbase

• Loss of interest

• Personal maturation

To start things off, most of you can obviously guess why I haven't been recently interacting with the series, and that's because... I just feel ripped off by modern Rovio. Yeah, I can be lumped together with all them "OG's" who whine about Rovio's removal of the classic games. But I do it because I've witnessed a franchise go corrupt by money and Movie Mighty Eagle-ing on their own graves for God-knows-why, pushing themselves "into the red" so hard that they had to auction themselves off to Sega just to keep the franchise on life support for yet another 15 years... but you already know that, don't you?

Either way, as that was happening, I have also been realizing how much I've lost interest for the franchise, both because of what's stated above, and me having found a new community that I find engaging on a more personal level (with people whom I feel comfortable to be around, that helped me find a place in this world... brrr-).

Either way, with that, I would like to make an announcement for something that I've been thinking about for a while now:

I am going to retire from my position as Angry Birds Wiki Thread Moderator.

The "why" of it is pretty obvious considering what I've laid out so far. I just also feel that it'd be nice to throw in the towel so that I wouldn't have that specific fact poking me in the back of my mind at random opportunities.

Either way, I should probably get some final messages to my "coworkers" in order, in honor of my time here:

@ChickenLover21 - Despite rocky happenings in the past, I can certainly say that AquaChoco has made the right decision with promoting you. Your competence has made itself known time and time again, and I hope that you'll manage to find an equally-worthy successor.

@GeeGolden - I know we haven't been in contact much, but I have seen that you haven't had as much apathy towards this place, and franchise, as I have. Just like with the Boss, you've managed to make a name for yourself here despite facing issues with them, as well. And I say that's very much commendable of you to do.

@Mosquitosquisher7 - I don't know what to say here (and I don't mean it in a bad way). Your work, both creative and logistical, has clearly shown that, Wiki-wise, you're superior to me in many ways. You're pretty much the person I wish I was, but I unfortunately let my apathy get in the way, leaving multiple small projects dead in the water. Keep up the good work is the least I can tell you as final words.

Well then, a certain pink bubble girl is soon gonna be celebrating her decade of having been titular protagonist for a few months by her lonesome... how about I write something for the occasion? I know my OC hasn't been used in any recent works, either (or any at all, from what you've seen officially), so I think it'd be fitting to let both of them have their share in the spotlight.

I'm not exactly sure how to end this, the post feels a little messy now that I'm proofreading it... oh well, all things considered, know that this isn't really a "farewell", but it's not exactly a "see you soon", either.

- Imbecile, birthday boy (or now "man", to be specific) for a day

TL;DR Today's my 18th birthday. Rovio stinks, so I'm retiring. May or may not do something for Stella series' 10th anniversary, depending on whether or not my lazy butt is in the mood to work for something special.

Intro: Heyyyy, remember last post, where I mentioned that I’d return in January and finish this series by February? Yeaahh about that, I had a severe case of a lack of motivation and only now decided to get back to this series, but hey, it’s only slightly later than February, right? Wait, it’s already July? Well, sorry for ghosting ya. Besides that, thanks to my tenacious nature, I still want to finish this series, so here we are. Now normally I’d properly replay the game in order to get info for my sins, but I didn’t really do it properly for reasons that I’ll get into at sin 1. And also also something relating to me exaggerating too. Now, yapping aside, let’s finally get started.

Actual sins wow:

1. Okay, so I said that I’d explain why I didn’t properly replay this game, and that’s because of a glitch that hardlocks the game once you open it twice on modern devices, originally I thought that I could circumvent this issue by disabling my Wi-Fi connection, and it kinda worked, but it still crashed on me recently, despite my countermeasures, so after replaying the game like 5 times in the span of about 6 months, I grew tired of it and just decided to do this now. Yeah, sorry for the long sin, the other ones will be shorter.

2. Ahem, where was I? Right, the sins. Okay, so the game got killed really early, and we didn’t get any more content after Beach Day, which still upsets me 10 years later, since Stella Toons also didn’t provide a proper closure

3. The sounds are so compressed that they seem like someone recorded them on a potato mic and processed them on Windows Vita

4. The pigs react a little too much, I’m all for expressivity, but AB2 kind of handles it better, no offense

5. How in the world can the AB Stella Branch fit within the continuity of the mainline series?

6. Poppy is literally just Willow but worse, since she only goes down, rather than into all directions (given there’s enough rotation room)

7. People really trash too much on the ability of mah boi Luca and I don’t think he deserves it.

8. Stella and Dahlia are superior over everyone else, even their costs reflect it.

9. Gale exists. Yeah. I’ve used her like 5 times in total. Idk why she’s playable

10. The gimmick pigs are decent and all, but da- I mean whew, the camera zoom-in effects that certain pigs such as fat pig and space pig get get annoying after some time

11. Helipig, Ninja Pig, Jetpack Pig, and probably Necromancer Pig just waste your time and do nothing else

12. Speaking of which, Jetpack Pig doesn’t have enough unique traits to not just be “Helipig but he spontaneously combusts”

13. I’ve rammed this point into the ground enough by now.

14. The bloody smokescreens before the Wall of Pigs stages. They are the stupidest thing in the world

15. And also why does the game sometimes randomly ask me to play a character’s tutorial before letting me continue with the map stages?

16. Speaking of the map stages, they use Beach Day’s background ambience instead of Branch Out’s, despite the theme being a forest for these stages. Just like Branch Out.

17. Speaking of speaking of themes in the map stages, the location that is indicated on the map has zero influence on the appearance of the stage, which makes me question why they bothered placing a marker on the rocky area to the north-west of the island in the first place

18. Speaking of speaking of speaking of the map stages, the stupid timers are, actually kind of understandable, but my stance on games preventing you from playing altogether still stands, and I will die on that bloody hill, mark my freaking words.

19. Speaking o- okay enough of that. Anyhow, the map stages are basically the predecessor to AB2’s randomly generated levels, and I don’t like that.

20. Stars are required for extra birds in levels, which wouldn’t be as much of an issue (though it still is) if these birds, if you haven’t hit the star requirement, still gave you the 10000 point bonus, which they don’t. This results in a domino effect that causes you to fall behind even further in stars.

21. Content shouldn’t be locked behind stars in the first place. Regardless of if it’s an entire episode or an extra bird.

22. The requirement for getting 3-stars is engineered in such a way that you still have a good chance to not get it even if you know exactly what to do to maximize your birds’ efficiency, which results in the need for excessive hammer usage or photobook birds, which really pisses me off.

23. Oh and costumes are a thing apparently. Yup, that’s the whole sin

24. Gale has 2 photos that provide her with the same freaking costume. You blockheads could’ve at least made the photo where she doesn’t wear her crown actually get rid of it instead of whatever other moping y’all are doing

25. The credits minigame is way more fun than it deserves to be.

Outro:

It's for a potential game called "Angry Birds Stella Space".

Luca

Willow

Dahlia (can you guess the game she's referencing????)

Any name and ability ideas?
