That's not really true. I work largely in Advertising. There are objectively more effective ads than others, both conceptually and visually. Sure, the client gives me, or my agency a goal or a direction, but it is our job to execute that job to the best of our abilities, which are again, objectively better than the…

Actually, I find the client doesn't know what they want more times than not. The reason I get a cheque is because I'm a professional creative. Client's pay me because I find creative solutions to the client's problems. I am not a client's Photoshop monkey. When people adopt an attitude like your's, that's when clients…

Actually it's not that hard. I'm a designer, and it always irritates the fuck out of me when a client want's to change something based on their own opinion or ideas. I mean I get it, everyone is creative, everyone has ideas. However, the fact is I'm more creative than you, I have better ideas than you. I went to…

It also looks like the Wii U stylus. They both have one. I actually wouldn't be surprised though if you're right.

Wonderful 101 wasn't made by Nintendo, only published. Also, I think you're ignoring the entire indie games market, if you think that only games that come out on Nintendo consoles emphasize gameplay.

I was talking specifically about the entries Luke posted, and specifically about Farfetch'd. Honestly I think it's the same deal with Jynx. They have taken some parts of the universe in one way, but others another. Not all the changes are happening in the same direction.

Well, that was 8 years ago. I think plenty of games have been considered classics in less time. Also considering it's impact on games like minecraft, I think it's a fair statement.

No, not necessarily. But that doesn't mean that Nintendo (or whoever) didn't use the opportunity to lighten the tone of the show. I wouldn't really call it a retcon, but it's definitely a change in attitude towards the lore of the Pokemon universe. You can't deny that the the newer pokedex entries aren't more family…

I think the difference is that what Luke linked were Pokedex entries from the show.

So you're saying that because they're extremely mentally ill that they can't lie?

True to a point, but you can never remove the chance that you'll just get some cards you can't use, or are garbage on the first couple of turns. All you can do is mitigate that risk. Which I really don't have any problem with.

I don't see a way that it can be fixed, or should be fixed. This sort of game has luck built into it mechanically, and removing that opens up a whole other can of issues.

Oh totally. I don't think I've ever even bothered to finish the original Zelda. I never grew up with an NES, so by the time I had access to it, more user-friendly experiences were around. If someone says games from the 90s were tough — they've clearly never played anything from the 80s.

There is a fine line between difficulty and bullshit. That game definitely crossed it a few times.

Hahaha from what I've read (very brief) that doesn't appear to mitigate the problem. There's something wonky going on at the OS level.

Also now that I think of it, I feel like it's not the reporting of 100% disk usage, because it's relatively easy to get your hard drive to be 100% in use. It has to be some process that is constantly accessing / rewriting somewhere on your disk. I burnt out a portable hard drive earlier this year because I was using…

Yeah I've been avoiding the upgrade to 8. Windows 7 just does everything I want an operating system to do, except a couple of UI functions from OSX, but that's just the Graphic Designer in me being a prick.

That sounds like malware to me. Nothing to do with Skyrim.

You auto explore? I guess you have to do something to make the Settler difficulty a challenge.

I don't know what your experience is like with card games, but just because you're making a card game, it doesn't mean that it has to be anything like Magic The Gathering. Or like any other card game.
