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:

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.

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…

That is not a problem. It’s a choice. And it’s a valid choice. Other people make the opposite choice. And that’s why we get lots of different stuff. Like just think about what you’re asking of Westworld. It’s reboot of a sci-fi novel/film from the 70s about a fake Western Disney Land. And you actually typed “puts…

Guys guys. This film is not about the “Actual West”. It’s about the mythology of the west created by old pulp novels and early Hollywood. The Coen Brothers are post-modernists. They are not trying to depict real life or real history or real emotions or real characters. They announce this in the first sequence by…

Essay question for you: “In what key aspects is the Coen Brothers film ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ different from D.W. Griffith’s ‘Birth of A Nation’?”

What is this idea that the Coen brothers are anything but post-modern film school dorks with a dark, misanthropic sense of humor? There is no sensitivity or human depth to their films, just abyss of nihilist dark comedy. They’re not connected to “reality” or “history” but just “other movies”. This whole critique…

Is there an example of a historic season where someone was obviously the best pitcher by advanced stats but got passed over for Cy Young because they had a shitty W/L record?
