Do not demand official branding in your media. Especially not from huge corporations like Nike. The concept art shoes evoked Jordans, and that’s better than what the movie or the official game screenshots did.

they usually do commentary, but the end scene literally broke their mind.

how fitting that I just rewatched this:

Just throwing it out there: they account for about 8% of the sales.

I’m playing solely in VR and I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s wonderfully smooth and I love the built in ‘toggle vr’ so I can swap in and out at will. No menu,framerate, or controller issues.

I’m also crossplaying from PC to Xbox friends pretty smoothly.

I am going to be one of those idiots saying “Red ___ Standing By” on voice chat at the start of every match. I apologize in advance.

After reading the article, I’m not sure these students should be allowed to graduate with a degree in journalism.

Journalism requires that you be willing to look at all sorts of things that people would say are “triggering”, “traumatizing” or even *snorts derisively* violence against your body and still do your job with, if not objectivity, at least a degree of intellectual honesty.

The person in question is named Kenna Griffin, not Kenn. It’s literally linked in the student letter. The copy editing on this site is atrocious.

As a former WSN reporter (35 years ago), I have to say this hurts.

Yeah, I had the same reaction- in fact, this exact discussion, word for word, just came up on an editors’ group I’m in. The consensus was that you cannot use the word “murder” absent a conviction. I absolutely understand why someone would find that upsetting, but it’s libel, and it undermines whatever else the author…

I agree with you. I was with the students until the incident with Breonna Taylor’s murder. The advisor was performing her role, which was to advise the students on the professionalism required in journalism. There is a difference between reporting the news and providing an opinion piece. Objectiveness in journalism…

I went into reading this assuming I would completely support the position of the students. After reading it? Now I am not so sure.

What I found infuriating with that part is how the student editors try to play the victim card before the change would have fallen to the African-American staffer, at which point one of them sacrificed themselves in order to do the change. Like, the reason it was getting to that because the editors were refusing to do…

It amazes me how so many people don’t grasp this. Or do and just resent Minecraft that much. I’ve never played it*, but this game absolutely deserves representation in Smash. And it's an unorthodox fighter, which is the best kind of character to add.

Perhaps it’s just the framing here, but yeah, this isn’t exactly convincing me the students are in the right.

Man, this was kind of confusing. Not because I think the students are somehow potentially in the wrong here, but rather that a lot of the stuff discussed is so vague. For example it would have been really beneficial to see an example of one of those criticisms by Griffin as at the moment it was ‘content good,…

i was with the students til this, “The staff was told that word had to be removed and instead replaced with “killing.” Journalists are required to use the word “killing” before a death is classified as murder by a court conviction, or the publication could be sued for libel.”

LOL. I love it. There are a bunch of others that would be great also, but I like this. If Smash is “Videogames: The Game”, then minecraft deserves it’s representation.

Ha ha ha, what?
