I think the key finding here is that running is wack and people would have more fun walking or riding bikes.

I thought about creating a nurturing society with a strong social safety net. But then I realized that bourgeois capitalism would first need be violently overthrown in order to adequately redistribute wealth and reorganize production in such a way as to achieve that plan. And that made me even more depressed.

You should look into that and update your spreadsheet accordingly.

WHAT WAS THE PRANK!?

JRPG has always meant “turn based, linear, grindy” while WRPG always meant “systems based, sim-my, real time-y”. The JRPG forces you to be the anime-haired boy. The WRPG lets you pick your stats and avatar D&D-style. JRPGs are full of anime tropes; WRPGs are full of western sci-fi / fantasy tropes. JRPGs are focused…

I think this incident is a key data point in the history of Japan’s video game critical reputation in the West:

poor people get money to become rich people.

It’s not so much the price of the commodity (bread in stores) as the price in worker’s time. Eating a healthy diet requires shopping, meal prep and clean up time that is just not feasible if you’re in a household where all the able bodied adults work full time. Cheap prepared fast food is always going to make more…

The guy who claims he’s posted 584 unnecessary pedantic comments about something people already know has opinions on which habits are good and which ones are bad.

I mean, it’s the guy you replied to. Go introduce yourself. Find out what makes them tick. Learn something new about the variety of humans you share the planet with.

If it was on PC there would be more than “around 50 games”. So they’re saying the ~50 launch games is an insufficient amount and they would prefer to have access to more than that. Hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Class. Working class vernacular = profanity. Words that demonstrate a university education = sophisticated. It wasn’t someone who decided anything. It’s a social phenomenon the emerges organically in any class-based society.

Japanese and Chinese people love it when white people tell them they're racially indistinguishable "Asians". Makes sense to them and they agree and act accordingly.

Your generalization is racist in itself.

Buddy, they’re the same thing. Patriotism, nationalism, jingoism, chauvinism, it’s all just different flavors of the same sentimental horse shit.

There is literally better information (i.e. academic research) that totally undermines and refutes this assertion of yours. It’s freely available online. And your comment here is disproves itself. This misinformation your putting out about the most effective way to combat misinformation is proof that merely…

Don’t worry. I also looked into the future and from where I see it, there will actually be large changes coming in the next 10-20 years.

What does a subscriber get? I don’t understand the economics of Twitch (a big Kotaku article would be informative!)

They’re just different, man. Meek’s Cutoff is great. Buster Scruggs is great too. And you’re like “I’m sick of racist westerns...just watch The Searchers!”. The fuck!? This whole “Moving the Genre Forward” idea is horseshit. Move the genre forward, move it back, move it sideways, take it apart, put it back together…
