It also fits into the idea that Dan’s Gadoken is the more powerful variation of the move—iirc—because he’s doing it one-handed. The only other characters to do it one-handed are Gouken, who invented the Hadoken, and Oni, who is...well, Oni. Not even Ryu can do it one-handed.

For future refernece: dismissing doesn’t really work if you answer the person.

Having a shit childhood doesn’t excuse you for growing up to be a shit person.

Part of why I moved passed the comment was, to be totally honest, because I didn’t want to turn the comment section into a philosophical or navel-gazy political debate. Or to bait trolls/grays into commenting unnecessary shit like “Why are you being racist against whites?” or “What about women who act this way,…

I mean, even if it’s “sideways” a game, if someone made a mode/rule set like Griffball was made in Halo, wouldn’t that count as game?

I think it goes deeper than that, but yeah. Another facet, at least insofar as gamers I’ve met/research in the US are concerned, is a complete and utter unwillingness to think critically about the media they consume that seems endemic to the kind of gamers we usually described as having “brain worms”.

See, this is the problem when people say “I don’t want politics in videogames,”.

I’m sorry you felt the need to look up someone’s skirt ten times for an achievement.

Good news for fans of wall-running and paint-by-numbers cyberpunk themes (so, everyone)

No, it’s almost like cancelling has a very specific definition and purpose—to deplatform, name and shame, and warn others about abusers—but people are so used to it “feeling” meaningless that they contrive super goal-moving definitions for it in order to both discredit and confuse those who disagree with them.

I’m so mad that Nintendo can’t be as creative as modders.

What are you even on about?

Which is the fallout of being cancelled?

The best way to remaster Chrono Trigger and Cross would be to just include more side content, more time travel shenanigans, and make everything prettier with more modern pixel art and FMVs.

I mean, the story of Chrono Trigger wasn’t exactly War and Peace, and the team behind FF14 is proving—imo—that SE still has what it takes within their ranks to create a very strong, enjoyable story and world.

At this point, we’re just going to end up argue nomenclature, because I do actually agree with what you’re saying. I just also happen to believe that “cancellation,” is a thing that exists, and can be used, without the Far Right’s interpretation of “cancel culture,” being front and center to the discussion.

No one is saying that? I’m saying that cancelling him literally resulted in him being deplatformed.

Read my comment, again. I’m saying cancelling “doesn’t work” with regards (wrt) to high profile personalities, but that in the case of less famous people—like Ellis, to a certain degree—it sometimes does.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I thought he’d retreated completely, but it seems like he’s still working on contracts/work he was on deck for finishing before all the news came to light.

re: Ellis - he chose to step away and, rightfully, decided to stop working in comics outside of the contracts/work he was already on deck to finish or start. Whether that translates into his entire career being over with, however, is another story. When the news came to light, he made his statement, apologized, and…
