Oof, you’re in for a harsh realization. This remake trilogy of FF7 is the “Nomura-verse” of FF7.

Even with the DMC combat designer, FF16's combat system shows that that kind of gameplay doesn’t work well with a standard RPG progression system, especially for what people are familiar with in a FF game. DMC3 learned from this mistake when it tried to adopt an exp progression in its Style system, and DMC5 kept…

My guess is this is Square/Sony’s attempt to summon hype for the upcoming FF7:Rebirth release. I mean, it’s fairly obvious: Sony wants more PS5s sold.

Anti-LGBTQ or anti-“Woke” narratives are trending, guys! Convenient for us studio executives! Make sure this clearly in-love same-sex couple are portrayed as cousins! We must not threaten the bigoted fanbase’s closemindedness!

I think the civil unrest that followed with COVID’s peak and the mismanagement by the powerful is what lead to workers realizing their worth, especially amidst layoffs, did not want to die for min. wage. This resulted in unions and their value being rediscovered, and many corporation executives were FUMING over this. T…

In his case, he definitely “admires” them. They just paid for his most luxurious golden parachute. But business executives are typically pathological liars when speaking to the public, so I understand your point.

With the amount of kids on Fortnite, I take it the heterosexual/bi/ace ones are discovering their puberty on it as well.

Yes, and no. This is a typical behavior of an insulated bourgeoisie community that are so wealthy and problem-free within their sanctuaries that they fear the outside world and its happenings, or fear the consequences when the masses realize they profit off the social ills they either propagate or encourage from…

Not many seem to know this, but the Israel government has prepared a literal government-backed social media troll farm for situations like this. The antisemitism narrative argument is a bad faith argument and a logical fallacy combined. One should remind themselves of the wisdom: “Not all skinfolk are kinfolk.”

I’ve…

Then people on the spectrum, as cats are a natural friend for those with autism, are immune.

AI’s utilization allows the US government to more lucratively expand on the Military Industrial Complex, and I imagine similarly for China since capitalistic incentives are as strong there as well as a bigger push for its surveillance state. Of course world governments want to let AI run rampant; it’s less work for…

I’ve learned a long time ago to never trust a powerful person on a soapbox. They have every reason to lie and mislead the public and multi-billion/trillion dollar companies are of no exception. When they want something, it’s usually something we should not be giving them/has no price, but greed cannot be satisfied.…

This is not new. The idea around tech “convenience” comes at the cost of user personal data. By opting into features for their convenience allows them to take, measure, and sell personal data.

I believe this was done to save memory space in the PS1 days. FF9 did this as well, but culled a lot of old locations through story reasons(roots would go over the old locations if they had no sidequest or main plot relevance). Strangely, FF7 never did this if I remember.

I agree with you. The average viewer and player is pretty media illiterate and are more drawn to spectacle than well-meaning, subtle writing, so for passion writers trying to convey a social message can be frustrating.

In Kojima’s case though, this seemed to have turned into some sort of vice of his, likely drunk from…

When you think about it, Kojima is not that different from Tarantino. He promotes unique perspectives and ideas, but also overly indulges in rather immature displays and presents it as “meaningful art”. Oh, and they love catering to their kinks with the cameras.

Perhaps. The SC Justices answer to money though, so it won’t take much to earn their bias.

Whether she is boring or not does not excuse Google from manipulating search results. What I’d find more interesting is the actual motive to them “shadow-banning” her. Did she recently upset their stock value?

You forgot the /s. The game industry has been increasingly toxic this year and it’s going to get worse. Not much more has to be said.
