I’m in the over 30 crowd, and I still find this completely awesome. If not for the merge of actual mainstream pop culture in a video game, then definitely for the technical feat of it all. I’m honestly in awe thinking about how they pull this off - gathering tons of players in one space, online, and having…

so you’re telling me that the PS3 and 4 asked me to find a combination of SSD and heatsink that has 2.45mm below the circuit board and 8mm above the circuit board?

That’s an interesting idea, and I’ve actually seen that done before regarding the swastika with the manga Blade of the Immortal, but I imagine that’s a more complicated approach than Crunchyroll want for what is essentially a (very sensitive) localization issue.

I wouldn’t say so. They should create the content for their intended audience and it is the job of the localizers to change and adapt on their contexts.

I mean, that’s cool and all but there’s still historical and cultural context that needs to be considered if we want to talk about nuance. The nuance of this situation is that America is in a bad(but powerful) spot that can’t simply be fixed by telling people facts. So all of our efforts have to go into solving that…

This has been done before, most notably with Naruto (Neji’s brand mark) and Bleach (Ichigo’s Fullbring), so it’s not surprising. It will likely be edited out in any home video release too.

Yes, yes it does matter especially if you can purchase a dock and have it playing on a TV, and if it’d be relevant for upcoming games.

Me too, waiting for the early adopters to get their hands on this thing and go to town on it.

Dualomite is probably a parody on the actual mineral “Dolomite,” which is why there’s a bunch of extra letters after Du on the way to ite that seem superfluous (why not Duotite, Duomite, Duolite, etc?)

So you think we should have engaged in thoughtful discussions with the Third Reich while they were busy programmatically gassing people?

I’m gonna say noone. Noone thought this out.

You don’t even own a door! You own a certificate certifying that the door is real. And they can sell as many of these certificates as they like, AND you can’t prevent anyone else from using the door because they didn’t sell you the copyright to the door (sorry, really stretching the analogy here). But, dammit, you own…

They’re not even that. At least when I buy a cool cape in a video game I can show off my cool cape. When someone buys an NFT all they have is a receipt that they paid a bunch of money for.  ‘Cause that’s all that an NFT is, proof that you paid money for the NFT.  

If you need to put restraints and regulations on capitalism so it doesn’t seek its logical extreme one could easily argue that capitalism is the problem.

It’s funny, my wife and I had this discussion a while ago. She said she approaches jobs like she’s thankful they’ll pay her; I told her I work knowing the business should be thankful I’ll earn them money. Just different outlooks I guess.

It’s a full priced game on the same shelf as every professional product. It’s not a student project. They don’t deserve kid gloves and certainly never asked for them. A very strange thing to suggest...

I think folks are really talking about the art and color. For a game in the well worn “post apocalyptic” setting, it is extremely vibrant and lush. It’s not a desert and the colors aren’t restricted to gangs who somehow found cans of neon pink paint. It’s a really green, overgrown world, with only hints of an…

It would be pointless and counter-intuitive for Section 9, which is pretty much exclusively cyberized, needs to exercise the utmost operational security, and doesn't really need to report to or interact with any outside entity to an extensive degree.
