It may shock you to find out the vast majority of teenage animated characters are actually voiced by adults much older than the character. 

Social media didn’t make any of those people say or think those things. It just allowed you to hear them do it.

it’s a Free-To-Play live service game that’s been running for longer than a sizable chunk of it’s players have been alive.

I don’t know, I always thought it was kind of nice. Didn’t really get “new age” vibes from it.

Spoiler: There’s a plot-relevant reason they feel like such a perfect trio and you’re not going to like it.

All this talk of an “ultra-customizable ergonomic design” and you still can’t swap the placements of the analog stick and D-Pad and have it not be a $200 carpal tunnel machine.

Yeah, I get that. Even then, I feel like there’s still a lot of really popular stuff outside of shonen. While there are some fantastical elements, something like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya would be pretty simple to do as a live adaptation and that show was a literal phenomenon when it aired.

You know, the funny thing is, Steins Gate was one of the first ones I thought of.

Oh man I can just picture a bunch of scumbag executive buzzards sitting in a dark room wringing their hands and trying to figure out some method of charging people for content that comes from their own imaginations.

One of these days, Netflix/the American film industry will realize that there are literally hundreds of anime with really, really great premises and stories that are also grounded in basic reality and wouldn’t require a bazillion dollar special effects budget to adapt properly.

Nah, keep that superficial shit out of here.

Yikes, usually the only hate crime we get from Final Fantasy is the one the writing commits against our collective intelligence.

Hey at least your bulk commons/uncommons get converted to a usable currency instantly and you don’t have to wait for them to slowly fill a “vault” that awards you with tokens you can exchange for 3/4 rare cards once every month or two.

Worth noting that this only really applies to the fanmade Smogon formats (used on Pokemon Showdown primarily) and not anything official.

How does Pokemon have no replay value?

Technical issues aside, this game also makes it pretty clear that maybe GF needs to spend less time trying to take down every fan project that shows them up and start taking some inspiration from them.

I don’t know. I’m kind of on the side that it doesn’t bother me at all.

Did you seriously just suggest that mature cinematic AAA games appeal to a larger demographic than an E-rated Nintendo game? Might wanna check your numbers on that one.

I mean, it’s 2022. Most people can pretty safely base that decision off the fact that there’s a 3D Sonic on the box which is practically a video game WHMIS symbol meaning “If you don’t regularly masturbate to this game’s characters you should probably avoid this hot mess”

Here comes the silly part where people spend the next few weeks debating who’s going to be awarded the illustrious Game of the Year award on a show that has literally served as the primary advertising vehicle for Elden Ring for the last several years.
