I guess you could say this nerf really...

It’s more like a bird pooping right into your mouth as you look up and yawn, really. :P

There’s generally a lengthy editing process, and most content creators do their videos in the form of a review or include tips about the game, or comedy, something to make it worth the watch.

I always just mash A. Other games I played at the time rewarded button mashing (Like spindashing in Sonic, etc.) so it just felt right, and now it's habit, helps me feel like I have input even if I don't.

Threats/bargaining work too. "Alright Zapdos, let's make a deal. You're at 1 health and paralyzed, how about you…

Probably, but at the same time I think it’d be sort of like a bug that happened during Wrath of the Lich King in WoW. A bug with the final raid boss of the expansion made the platforms (that were supposed to systematically fall apart, making the encounter area a smaller and smaller circle) rebuild themselves when…

>Sit at menu or on other character for 12 hours
>Start new character, “speedrun” game because of bugged bosses

It’d honestly be pretty easy to accomplish. Hell, you could even do it by accident, like if you finished the main story, left for work while leaving the console on, and felt like speedrunning when you got home.…

Just like how people with depression get to choose all their options, right?

You’re late! I expected this comment hours ago.

It sort of baffles me, to be honest - a lot of games essentially just skin tint their character models when it comes to integrating races, which isn’t what I’d call an amazing solution, but amusingly it seems to lead to the other big problem with representation in games; when the characters don’t necessarily pass as a…

Yeah, of course, it’s just the lesser of two evils. I’ll talk forever about how this industry needs minority representation (or at least until we start seeing it in more than a handful of titles that are generally indie) but if they’re not interested in doing it properly then it’s not progress, is all. Sorry if I was…

On the contrary, I don't think a game should get a pass just because it's from X or Y series. Representation is representation, do it right, or don't do it at all. A game with entirely white people isn't nearly as bad as a game with some stereotypes and/or token characters thrown in.

I have Earth's Mightiest Need.

Still happens from time to time with Lux's AoE slow and, most nefariously, Singed poison. It's just as frustrating, just as unfixable apparently.

It's funny how that's not on an android device like he said. :P

I feel like they were just overconfident in their demo.

Someone sounds offended. It was a tongue in cheek reference to how gamers insist that they're mature, and yet explode violently at things that they disagree with; the irony given your response is tangible.

My point is simply that if a game inserts you into a role, then it's fine. If the game lets you have full control…

Nah, that's totally fair. Nintendo just missed the point, but ignorance is more of an explanation than an excuse - as long as someone learns from their mistakes, I can't fault them for making them. :P TL was just an example of a company not really taking into account the diversity of their players, which is ultimately…

With this one it feels a little bit different, since right from the start they're saying everyone gets randomized, I'd consider that fair (I'd say something about it randomizing it every time you die, but people would probably try to game that, so I like it the way they've handled it). I guess I see it less as the…

If they went through the effort to actually make poc character models look like they're not just wearing blackface, I'd imagine they have an interest in all forms of representation. I'm sure it'll show up.

It's because being a set character is one thing, and being unable to be "you" when that's the point of the game is another. Animal Crossing had the issue because the point of the game is more or less complete control over your character's appearance, except skin colour for no real reason whatsoever - the technology…
