EA bought up many beloved developers, meddled with them, ran them into the ground, and then killed them. RIP to:

I hear this argument all the time and it never gets any less stupid. Want to have a party? Just throw a fucking party. If you want to make it about the baby just call it a “Fetus Celebration Party”. Or a “He didn’t pull out so we’re just rolling with it” Extravaganza.

Eh I'm here anyways lol. I may not like the way they hustle but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'll take a shitty bait post now and then if it keeps the other good articles coming. 

Maybe. As I said, no idea who he is. It’s still rather pathetic imo, either that Nathan legit feels this way and is bothered enough to make a post or that Kotaku has to do this stuff to stay afloat.

The amount of weird... Jealousy? Cynicism? Possible tongue-in-cheek version of either of those? In this post is palpable.

Your semantic argument relies on the assumption that when someone says “this doesn’t make any sense” they mean “this doesn’t make any sense to anyone anywhere”. But what they really mean is “this doesn’t make any sense *to me*”.

Yeah fuck raising millions of dollars for charity! It isn’t worth it if sighing isn’t entertained to a satisfactory degree. Because everything exists solely to serve their whims!

I’m definitely showing up if it is in person in MN again in 2022 since I’m moving back there this summer. Plus one of the runners in the speedrunning discord I am in is considering submitting a run so if that happens I'll be part of his couch commentary. 

I wouldn’t say I’m cynical, that’s just my experience playing the original Snap. The fact that it was targeted towards kids so it won’t be too difficult to play, combined with the mechanics of the scoring system just don’t make for a good score attack game.

If by “tons” you mean like 5 per level. Plus you can only submit one picture of each Pokemon, and you have a limited number of pictures you can submit total. So trying for a high score becomes “do the same 6 pictures over and over and hope the game decides to seemingly arbitrarily give more points this time.”

At first glance I read the title as “seven deadly Sims” and thought “Weird, but I’m okay with this.”

Sure if you've never used a computer before. 

That’s what I figured, but you said "your ass" which sounded like it was directed at Kotaku lol

Trying to mediate on the internet isn't dumb, but trying to do so by pretending someone with a bad point actually has a good point is a silly thing to do lol. 

Because there is an ocean of difference between modifying a game that already has a robust and complete engine, hundreds of completed interlocking systems, existing models/characters/story/more to build off, and making all of that from scratch? 

Lolwut

Well you’re half right anyways, since the original commenter’s point is actually awful and basically nonexistent. Hundreds of different game related media sites will pick up on this regardless of whether Kotaku does or not. It’s already been reported on dozens of times, many of the websites getting way more traffic…

Mitten Squad (who is on hiatus right now because of personal stuff) and ymfah do really great challenge runs too. 

They’re not wrong though. Normally if something is worded as “X actions over Y time”, X is considered the total number of times you need to do it. Naturally because the context of the article is that this is a “grind” they should have realized that was not correct from context.

Yeah, it doesn’t sound hard. I’m a shit sniper but I could get this medal 3 times per match easily. Since when does 2-3 hours of a specific challenge in a video game get considered a massive time sink?
