If they said anything tangible or arguable, then you could put it in other words, which would make it fungible. And they do not do fungible.

You’re dreaming, guy- you’ll never see a Nintendo game in the bargain bin.

What’s sad is that there’s a good story in there that hinges on Samus having a panic attack because this is the umpteenth time she’s fought Ridley. This is someone who watched her parents die, then her adoptive race die, and has now watched the one Metroid she realized she could save die, and while everyone she loves…

I loved the part when she is just sitting on the floor nonchalantly when Quiet Robe shows up.

I came into this article ready to mouth off, then read through and thought “Yeah, you’re right”. I was worried you were thinking Other M was the way to do it, but glad to see that dismissed. I didn’t stop to think about the emotional weight aspect of many of the cutscenes because that stoic mercenary vibe is the Samus…

“MercurySteam and Nintendo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”

It feels like they feel the need to point out its not as powerful as other current gen systems whenever it has an article.  It’s really odd

Emulation has a massive performance overhead. The ratio of “system you can perfectly simulate” to “system it runs on” is pretty wide, and graphics accelerator hardware (as I understand it) is pretty useless because old consoles ran on completely different math than what GPUs are designed to do, so you have to get the…

In terms of scams and other bad faith practices, I don’t think any of that actually matters. Like you’re not wrong that the whole point NFT is that it gives tokens to people so, no it’s not like saving an image.

But short term grifts that can include something as dumb as that, or as something more complicated as…

Here we are.

Sometimes I eye roll at how sympathetic Kotaku can be to some of the more out there communities on the Internet, and then an article like this comes along and I find myself being the one who might be more sympathetic towards these people than they deserve? For the most part I think that people who have been ripped off…

I do understand the point you are trying to make but I’m also trying to explain that you are incorrect.

Everything you wrote can be applied to the stock market. The only difference is that the stock market is (kinda) regulated.

A simpler way to understand NFTs is think of is similar to baseball cards. There are 1 of 1, 1 of 10, etc. rare baseball cards worth thousands, even millions of dollars. But it’s a piece of cardboard with a picture and some print. It’s not for the picture, not for the cardboard, it’s valuable because it’s rare and…

“An NFT of a piece of art” IS a “certificate of authenticity that happens to be an NFT.” This is a fundamental misunderstanding that this whole “NFT art” thing caused. The NFT is not the art; the NFT is the certificate of authenticity for the art. That’s all it ever has been and all it ever will be (unless the…

Let me rephrase: it reduces the number of institutions that need to back your claim.

Eh, as someone who was first introduced to Bayonetta back when the first game was originally ported to PS3 (pre mea culpa performance patch) , let me tell you that this is far, FAR from the worst a Bayo game has looked or felt.

If only you could boot up PS4 games on the PS5. That would be something right? /s

Kojima kind of brought that on himself by tweeting that people who have an issue with her attire will be “ashamed of their words and deeds.”  I mean, come on.

Definitely. I would’ve gone with, “What’s dope af is…”
