They told me I was crazy, but you see it now! I was right all along!

Hah, his *armor* is breathing at around 0:52. Takes some danged powerful lungs to stretch steel with each breath!

I don’t understand modern art. This is literally just a resin mold created out of a couple of 3D printed items to get the depth on the cart and text. Why is this $500+ dollars, and why the heck is a solid resin mold of a Walkman that’s had a chisel taken to it “worth” $4200?

Wait.

Professor Xavier dedicates his life to realizing the dream of peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans. As an official U.S. government liaison for mutants, he often works in covertly in the shadows, keeping an eye on the actions of the government, the mutant community, and the X-Men. He is a founding member of…

Right, and I totally get that from a “Don’t worry about the haters” point of view. But if you take Ninja’s test case, 40,000 haters rescinding a 4.99 subscription is a *$200,000 loss* in a single month, not to mention recurrence from those subscribers.

Totally agree, and until the fact that fans *are* that fickle went public with his subscriber number dip happened, I woulda said that people would be patient and understanding. But apparently that’s not the way the world works.

Part of this comes from setting expectations to fans from the start. If you look at a lot of successful speed runners, they’re not streaming every day. 5 days, 6 days a week is pretty common, but most aren’t streaming without fail. Even that’s probably higher than it should be health-wise, but that’s another…

Yep! Blizzard’s current responses are a master-class in “How to piss off just about your entire userbase”

Yep, as I said to another commenter, agreed. But if they gave Blitz an amended 6 month ban, this needed to equal that for equal rule breaking is all.

Honestly? I don’t think it would have made a difference. Had they handed out the ban instantly like with Blitz, they would have just gotten MORE “In China’s pocket” blowback for stifling speech so quickly. Doing it now is no better, but they’re just getting a different *kind* of crap for it.

Totally agreed. The punishment doesn’t meet the crime in either situation. But if they handed Blitz an (amended) 6 month ban, these guys needed the same for the same thing.

Oh, totally. I’m just saying that after the PR flacks recovered from the blows they had taken from Blitz, they really had no choice here is all. Guys and gals were probably just too punch drunk from the fallout on the first one and handling Nintendo World’s cancellation to even notice a couple college guys until it…

While I’d definitely agree that they put their foot, and whole leg, fully in their mouth with the whole situation this particular ban is pretty much a required one. If they didn’t run this particular ban, people would (and were!) call out favoritism towards certain groups (non-HKers) for making political messages on…

I was waiting for some denouement like a car coming by to push it further or something, but left wanting.

Any ideas on which ones work best with adding things to it? I pretty much always add onions, peppers, mushroom, maybe some sausage or ground beef. All that changes the flavor profile obviously, but more importantly, it also changes the liquid texture.

All the martial arts in the Olympics are literal physical confrontations, not self defense. Can karate be used for self defense? Sure! The way it is used in the Olympics is in an offensive, match based manner. Projectile events are utilizing tools that originated specifically to make it easier to kill people and…

“We want to promote non-discrimination, non-violence, and peace among people,” Bach told the South China Morning Post in 2017. “This doesn’t match with video games, which are about violence, explosions, and killing. And there we have to draw a clear line.”

I love the music in this game. Scars of Time and Dreams of the Shore Near Another World especially. But I’d have to disagree on this being the best game soundtrack. Of the PS1 era? Certainly. Overall? Not even close to Uematsu’s work on FFIV or FFVI, especially when taken as a whole. Chrono Cross has some amazing…

Looks like that’s AUS pricing. Looking at other games at the same price point, that’ll probably be 15 USD in NA. Which isn’t bad given that this version looks to have everything the X360 version had and “a new expansion, new quests, and more character classes”. 360 and PC are both 10, and the expansion on 360 is…
