Well, you had the end of Dragonball Super early in the year. MHA season three partway through. Then Jojo, Goblin Slayer, and That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime all at the tail end. Between all that and the shows mentioned by the editor, I’d say it was a pretty solid year. Maybe not as crazy good as some previous…

I play FFXIV, I know it’s not a child, IT’S STILL CREEPY AS ALL HECK!

The biggest problem here is that Tumblr’s algorithm is flagging a ton of content as NSFW. Even content that clearly isn’t even remotely sexual in nature. Given that all that content will be removed in just a few weeks, I don’t see how they can fix this. Content will be deleted, users will likely be banned, and a mass…

Not sure I’d call it appropriate to call a near-universally panned release, “divisive.” I know that’s just a word choice but things like this matter. Well, to some extent anyway.

As for the game itself. Nobody really asked for it, and it arrived an utterly broken mess with unfun gameplay. Charging people sixty dollars…

Rreally? You’re going to twist yourself into how many logical knots!? First, the idea that engines aren’t really engines is absurd on its face. Yes, you can edit them or add components on top of them. But modern engines are so huge and complex that they rarely if ever fundamentally change from year to year. That’s why…

Yeah, Toby has already come out and definitively stated that this is an entirely different world from Undertale. What’s more, he also stated in fairly plain terms that Delta Rune doesn’t in any way affect Undertale’s ending. Whatever ending you got in Undertale is still canon and nothing here’s going to change that.

Tha…

My, it must be great to go through life without integrity! 9_9

Said it before and I’ll say it again. Even if loot boxes “Technically” aren’t gambling it’s a distinction without a difference. In terms of behaviors, they check off the same negative or compulsive behaviors as gambling. While at the same time performing like slot machines, in terms of monetization.

Heck, even the…

Some people do, but this is generally the people with too much time and money on their hands. Also, I’d add that you typically don’t want to upgrade until you’ve seen what the competition is offering six or some odd months down the line. While nVidia is usually the top dog in terms of performance, AMD does sometimes…

“Be respectful!”

Ayep.

And while that’s a reasonably impressive generational boost. The specs do not come anywhere close to justifying those prices yet. Especially if you’re still gaming at 1080p. My suggestion to people is to hold off until AMD is ready to release their own next round of cards. Even if they don’t have a better bang…

Right. There were a lot of great ideas in Tri, but the writers just didn’t execute them very well. Or rather, they executed the slice of life drama elements really well, but utterly dropped the ball everywhere else. I’d almost like to see a more talented writer come back and re-do Tri, just to see the whole thing…

Oh yeah, started out great. But, the unwillingness to let consequences stick, combined with some utterly nonsensical plot decisions, hurt it a LOT. The fact that we’re never given a clear idea who the antagonists are, and a lot of plot threads are left dangling, is a plain monument to how badly the writers dropped the…

Ni No Kuni is flawed enough that I’d probably remove that in favor of something like Undertale, or some other JRPG from the last decade. There are others on the list that I’d be tempted to say the same thing about, but only Ni No Kuni stands out as a DEFINITIVELY flawed enough title not to deserve being listed here.…

Ahh, Kotaku is doubling down on blatant dishonesty, I see.

First, this wasn’t a catastrophe. These developers were, to be blunt, acting like jerks. If you choose to go onto social media and use the name of your real employer then you can’t act like that, period.

This is neither a controversy or a tragedy. So you should…

Considering that this developer was also cheering when Total Biscuit passed on, it’s pretty clear that she’s a venomous toxic individual. If I had to guess, she was probably already on thin ice when this incident occurred. If so, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody that it ended this way.

PS: Yeah this article really…

Yes, cause construction workers are clearly out there publically representing their companies in a highly visible manner daily. 9_9

Again, if you are representing your company, if you’re in a position where your statements are highly publicized, then you can’t get away with stuff like this. That’s clearly different…

The conversation was fairly civil right up until the point outlined in the news story. What other people did afterward is irrelevant. She escalated the situation and then continued making things worse.

If you’re representing others professionally, you can’t do that. Period.

If you don’t want to be fired for being an idiot, then don’t be an idiot on social media! There is no situation where it’s okay for a developer to get into a public spat, especially with fans. You can falsely cry harassment all you want, but it doesn’t change that this behavior is unprofessional and that no business…

Yeah I know, laugh it up.
