FUCK. YES. Hook it to my veins.

Tell-all memoirs don’t matter. Estranged wife and daughters don’t matter. A complete compromise on his part of any and all principles and decency don’t matter. He is packing the Supreme Court with conservatives, and that’s the only thing that matters. In his eyes certainly.

Yes, I’m sure there was a lot of backslapping and congratulating taking place in the SE offices about how clever they are and how clever their title was. They would probably get along well with Steven Moffat.

Very well - perhaps I’ve been misguided in my opinions about Nomura. To be clear, I don’t care in the slightest what ‘Japan’ thinks of Nomura - as if a large group of people can’t all be wrong at once. But, I may have been too quick to assume that the common faults in many games he’s been involved with are because of h…

Do you know of an example of this being attempted and succeeding? As you say, we all know a recent and famous example of it being tried and failing.

Its meta scores are pretty high due to how wowed reviewers were by the shiny pictures 20 years ago, but not only has Chrono Cross never featured in the top 10 on any list of top RPGs made in the last 10 years, I doubt it’s even cracked top 50 in any such list.

‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead’ is not a remake of Hamlet.

This remake has the names of all the same directors, writers and producers from the original in its credits, yes. But it doesn’t exactly take Sherlock Holmes to deduce whose idea the ending was.

If you read back what you wrote, you’ll realize why people might be wary of this game and even more so its sequels.

The problem is that instead of, say, Legion-style ‘no idea’ he specializes in the Lost-style ’no idea’.

Did you complete your Remake playthrough, Gabe?

WTF. Is this that new game smell messing with everybody’s head?

Jesus Christ, yes - I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! It’s a thread with Jason and a bunch of commenters excitedly going over the potential implications of the ending, and what it might mean, and... I want to jump and scream What the fuck are you talking about? It’s made by Tetsuya Nomura! You people are discussing…

That’s an interesting parallel. How did Chrono Cross fare as a sequel to Chrono Trigger?

I’m not sure I follow - KH3 is still garbage, it’s just garbage in a different way than it was before. Trying to tie things up didn’t change the fact that Nomura is an incompetent writer.

This is exactly the kind of rumination that bears out the article’s point about what shitshows all wars are, but WWII especially was - and yet all that shit gets swept under the rug so that the winners (or survivors I suppose, in political terms) can feel good about themselves and endlessly retell conveniently bowdleri…

No problem, happens to me all the time.

Well, I had a different opinion before, but you’ve definitely insulted me enough times in a row that I’ve now changed my mind and agree with everything you’re saying. I don’t doubt many other readers will also have their minds changed by your ironclad logic, formidable oratory skills, and relentless swearing.

Through long years of reading I don’t need to assume but actually know that those four websites are, surprisingly, not the same website, and their writers range from reliable to less-reliable in almost the exact order you’ve listed them in. And Gizmodo’s io9 subsite particularly so. There is no such thing as…

No David, people need to know about this one affordable cure for coronavirus that the liberals don’t want you to know about that my aunt sent me! They need to know!!!
