All the reports I’m seeing from actual trans people is those harassers were, as one person put it, “internet shit stirrers who want to paint the trans communities outrage over JK Rowling as some kind of crusade against everyone”. Most of the trans people I’ve seen comment on others playing/streaming has been along…

But, if she retired because of the Hogwarts Legacy controversy, trans people and trans allies ARE the problem here. It’s a video game. Yes if people buy it it makes JK Rowling richer and she’s a horrible person. But, she’s already got more money than she will ever need. Harry Potter is important to many people and for…

It’s like, we get it Kotaku. You’re still really bitter that Nintendo won’t give you advance codes for their games anymore. It’s super super unfair.

I’ve seen this prediction before - it’s incredibly doubtful that this happens without another BotW2 delay (which in turn is also unlikely as Nintendo doesn’t often set concrete release dates without certainty of release).

This is due to GameFreak being too lazy or prideful to drop their own terrible game engine and switch to one like Xenoblade Chronicles 3's engine or Unreal.

The Switch’s “gimmick” was being $100 cheaper than its competitors. It’s the same gimmick that made NES, Game Boy, and Wii successful.

Other than load times, I don’t really recall having much in the way of issues with Three Houses, although as far as actual hardware goes I’ve only ever played it on the Lite, so maybe docked mode is different.

To be fair, Lost Woods is a very small section of that game, and not representative of the overall experience. It’s the exception to the rule, really. I think Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Link’s Awakening had more overt issues. 

Try not to lose any brain cells trying to fathom how stupid this is, but as I understand it, people (average Twitter users) were using the blue checks as a sort of pre-verifying of sources. So, if JK Rowling said that trans people eat babies to keep their penii from growing back, you can take that as truth because she…

Yeah this was a dumb attempt to unfuck his unforced fuck-up with charging for blue checks as a status symbol—that thing that originally did what this was supposed to do but in a less dumb and chaotic way.

Doesn’t the very existence of a new verified badge render the old blue check mark (that you will now have to pay for) pointless? Like, as it stands now, the blue check exists to tell other people that this account does indeed belong to the person who it says it belongs to, which is exactly what this new verification…

I mean this for Elon Musk from the bottom of my heart:

Twitter really needed to be burned to the ground, and honestly, I’m not totally surprised that Elon Musk buying it somehow not only became the catalyst for doing exactly that with such effeciency, nor that it would be so monumentally, gluttonously entertaining to witness.

Strange how these dipshits whine that banning people spewing the N-Word, harassing Trans individuals, or claiming that drinking bleach will cure COVID is “violating the user’s free speech”, but they draw the line at mocking the petulant billionaire upset that he’s being clowned on.

And we haven't even hit the biggest laugh yet, when the advertisers flee for good, leaving Twitter with no revenue beyond $8 blue mark subs and whatever the MyPillow Guy has left in his pillows for ad space

It’ll never really get away from the insane racism as long as the Liberal Democratic Party* is in power (or is even the primary opposition). And that’ll never happen as long as Japanese youth don’t vote en masse.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s utterly shitty but also unsurprising that a citizen from one of the world’s most racially homogeneous nations might have no understanding or appreciation of racial diversity. It’s Japan, racism and insular attitudes are kinda baked-in: famously closed their borders til Commodore…

This right here is exactly why, while disappointing, no one should be surprised by this, Japan does not have a history of healthy representation of diversity in any of its media. But at least it’s shown signs of getting better. I Am rewatching DBZ right now, just began the Buu saga and holy fuck I forgot about the…

While still disappointing, I don’t find it very surprising that a developer from a country in which 98% of the population share the same ethnicity and culture struggles to grasp the depht and importance of representation issues.

I really hope they don’t go that route. The books focussed on Yennifer and Geralt being  pseudo parents to Ciri. I have enjoyed the show so far and am very sad with the change of actor. The show will suffer because of it.
