Nope, “effect” would be the verb in that sentence. You could “affect the temperature.” But you would “effect a change in the temperature.”

“Effect change” is the rare occasion where “effect” functions as a verb rather than noun. https://writingexplained.org/affect-change-or-effect-change

Counterpoint: “Metroidvania” is just fine, has been around for decades, and is an established term that refers to a specific genre of game. Specifically, one in which you’re placed into a maze-like world that requires getting powerups to advance, and once you do, the door is open for incremental backtracking and…

Not to mention that some icons would change when you attempted to delete them. Like, the character would suddenly frantically wave their arms at the player being like “don’t delete meeeee....”

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

>>People don’t know what the fuck they want, except something to bitch about.

Well, Atlus NEVER said, implied or promised that Persona 5 would come to Switch, or that P5S would be a Switch port of Persona 5, so anyone who feels “lied to” or “let down”(as I’m seeing people say on other sites) doesn’t have anyone to blame but themselves for getting their hopes up. Does suck for people who don’t…

The neat thing about this is it’s the opposite of black magic - it’s extremely easy to do and pretty straightforward. The hard part is just getting the idea.

If aging memories of the movie are correct, Goose got conked by the intact canopy in midair.

He’s riding the Super Saiyan Blue Wave.

I’d say this either enters into either #11 Spiritual Successor (e.g. Bloodstained, Yooka-Laylee) or #2 Extremely Delayed Sequel (e.g. Psychonauts 2, Shenmue 3)

My tin foil hat says an FFVIII Remake is happening soon*.

I just want Isaac from Golden Sun back in this game. Even as an assist trophy again. Please let me know that you remember Golden Sun exists, Nintendo, ffs

TIS I!

If there is a well-built narrative journey for the character, you don’t need to kill an animal character. Period. It is lazy in most cases. John Wick, while brutal, is an example in the other direction. The death of his puppy was much more than just that. It represented the ending of any physical connection to his…

I get what you’re saying, I just have a pretty firm “take it or leave it” stance with Etrian Odyssey and the map. There’re many dungeon crawling games in a similar style (Grimrock, Darkest Dungeon, etc). Drawing the map is the key feature that makes Etrain it’s own thing, imo. It’d be like saying “let’s put the Kirby…

Here is my opinion why people defend the 3ds:

Tried it out for an hour this morning and it had all the fun of smt/persona combat and style... Which, instead of making me want to continue and maybe buy gacha packs, has me wanting to buy the 3ds games or replay p4g. 

I can’t wait to stream my Trails of Cold Steel playthrough where I talk to every NPC at least twice on every day, save scum so I can see all of the relationship-building scenes, and frequently do that thing where you go one way down a dungeon and after like twenty seconds go “wait, I think this is the critical path,…

Alright, yeah. Looks like we just have different tastes, hahah. I love a few of the games in your list too, but they’re all the wildly acclaimed titles that are “no brainers” for gamers already (DKC and Mario 64).
