Because it is just that easy, yeah? Just hit the “unionize” button and you’ve done it, right? If it was that easy to unionize everyone would already be in a union. But it isn’t because you have to deal with legal and potentially illegal forms of union busting. You have to coordinate, sometimes among hundreds of…

Sure, but that ignores the problem the OP was surfacing.

Well that just means they win either way. Either they get huge licensing fees, or they get the vast majority of all PC sales. For big name titles that could be more than the cost to license the engine. 

I mean that makes logical sense, but something tells me that lots of employers would weasel around it by cutting people to 20 hours and hiring additional staff or any of the other tricks they can do to prevent paying overtime. Especially in food service and retail. 

Generally it depends from challenge to challenge. If something is completely unavoidable, generally it is allowed. Like the Swordless run of one of the other Zelda games, you HAVE to deliver the final blow with a sword but as long as you don’t use one until that point it counts.

Hey I get it. I'm actually hit twice as hard because my mom is named Karen. Although I've never actually seen her request to speak to a manager. 

I personally think it fits. The run is lame. Naruto is lame. So why name it after a different, potentially good anime or the larger genre as a whole when it can be named after that particular trash heap?

Semi-related: Is Mayans any good? I liked SoA for the most part. 

For RTS games like AoE or SC I always boot up the game and start a skirmish, then get into obsessively trying to strip the entire map of resources. Usually by trying to advance my research as fast as possible, trap enemy factions in their areas (walls and towers in AOE, flying ships in SC), and then collect every…

Sure there were definitely some. In the original FF you were supposed to get a lute from the princess after you rescue her which is needed at the end of the game. But you have to talk to her to get it so you can go through the entire game and then get to the end without it and then you can’t go back.

I mean... Back in the PS2 and older days, most games were more or less guaranteed to work, because they had to. There were no second chances if a company put out a shitty broken game they would maybe get your money once, but having a reputation for that was a death sentence.

I don’t know if this is why because I have never compared Japanese dialog with an English localization, nor have I played a game in Japanese, but could it be something like it takes longer to say a sentence in Japanese compared to English?

Not really related but does anyone remember those decks of cards where each card had the face of a different terrorist and the higher the card value the more dangerous the person was considered? Can we do that again, but put pictures of our own politicians on them?

I mean, I kind of get it. I don’t trust any 1500+ lb creature that is as skittish as horses can get. If you can hit like a truck and run at 50 miles an hour, you have no business completely losing your shit because someone 1/10 your size lowered their arm kind of fast.

You mean the one who was really crazy and/or creepy? Yep. 

I don't play the game but I like the idea of a blackout in chat from a mechanical standpoint. If players could build communication relays that enable anything beyond short range communications and other players would be able to target those to knock out communications for a set area, that could lead to some…

I think that is a rather one-sided way to view it. Developers can absolutely change their game however they want, but that doesn’t mean players have to like it or keep playing just because they liked the game before the change. The belief that if you are a fan of something means you have to love it unconditionally is…

It might be considered a spoiler but the game’s biggest issue (unless on Switch, where the issue is performance) is that the game doesn’t really communicate where to go next very well. I was exactly where you are now and I was stuck for hours on it because there was only one place I could see to go and had no idea how…

No no, Chads drink Red Bull and commit date rape. He’s talking about Kyles, who are also apparently Naruto-running furries based on the Area 51 memes.

Well there are a couple of general things they could do, no focus groups needed. First, they could do all their text with a black outline around individual letters. No matter what color the actual text is (normally white but could be different colors for different characters), putting a black outline around the…
