Would be interesting to see the geographic distribution of the OMG NIPPELS COVER YER EYZ tweets. As the author says, it’s a non-issue in Japan, and even for me, as a non-US westerner male, I barely even notice male nipples exist, and never gave Mario’s a second (or even first) thought before I read about them on…

So, it’s finally broken its bindings to Earth, it seems.

Holy goosebumps, batman!

Oh, wow, that trailer is bad.

“EXCITEMENT”
says the screen. followed by a couple static images. followed by a character plodding along listlessly across a drab, drab room.

“intriguing characters” “dramatic story”
Says the last screen, trying a bit too hard to be a corporate powerpoint presentation.

The game does look...…

I really like how this looks. A stylistic mix of early vector-based arcade games (eg Asteroids) , and a bit of Out of this World brings all kinds of good nostalgia. Will keep an eye on it.

“Behold, a button that just makes all your Joy Con vibrate”

Oh, I’m sure some people will have found, um... less than “silly”, uses for that button at this point in time.

Cool! I haven’t been that much into gamer culture for a while now, so I was surprised to see friends using that word. It’s interesting to know it’s so widespread (going at least as far as Brazil, Argentina and Portugal).

I’ve heard people who play both PS and XBone using the term interchangeably for both consoles. Maybe it’s more common among the people I know? I don’t own either, btw (Nintendo + PC gamer, here)

To be fair, these all seem to have in common, other than the stick-shape, the fact that they are... FRIED!

Fried? Fries? Do you fry your fries? Do you like your fries fried?

Sure it may go against a certain cultural use of language, but it’s not as huge a leap of logic as the article seems to make it, tbh.

Also, a new word being thrown around in Brazil is “platinar”, meaning to finish a game 100%, derived from “platinum” status, as in, getting all trophies in the current officially-sanctioned-achievement-centered age.

Loved this as a kid. One of the main sources for my appreciation of the art deck aesthetics, that carried into my adult life as an architect (the other being the batman animated series).

Funny thing is, I would probably pass it at this point, given all the bug reports and the added controversy. That said, I backed it on kickstarter way back when, before the controversy even existed, and on the promise of an indie RPG with deep systems.

The weapons and the kick are nice and all, but it the one-liners and the crazy movement speed that make this really look like Duke3d

That Facebook is participating through a video game in a political action conference of any kind is bizarre enough. The rest of the absurdity in mentioned in the article is proof that people gave completely lost touch with reality.

So, people talk about desentivization to violence, and how seeing too much of it makes you mind it less and less, and how that’s a problem.

Now that you mention it, the prolonged naked fight reminded me of the sauna scene in Eastern Promises.

I, for one, consider Netflix to be the best nrw thing to happen to the movie/TV industry in ages, especially for sci-fi and historical fiction fans.

About as much as one would expect from a Metroidvania while exploring, plus some extra due to a lot of dying... *however*, the movement makes traversing screens really quick. I kid you not when I say you can zip through certain screens in about a second or two, if you’re not fighting enemies or exploring nooks and…

So, after spending some time with the initial area and going out to work, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Played all through the night and finished it (11 hours, 99% exploration, can’t figure out where that alst percent would be).

Just got it this afternoon and played to pretty much the same point that appears in the review video.
