Yeah but that’s Gamefreak being Gamefreak. 

Look, we’re just getting to the point where nipples are regularly being shown in games and animation, so society is gonna need a little more time to get used to casual genitals.

As always, expect the newest Tears of the Kingdom amiibo to fly off the shelves, as these little collectibles often sell out immediately.

Also origin stories follow the same goddamn mold and it’s boring at shit at this point. “Oh no, another movie where the titular hero is rookie for at least half of it, GREAT. Now we can wait another few years to actually see him in action against an interesting antagonist!” Yeah, no, pass. 

You’re on different pages. You’re both correct within a given continuity. Technically Marvel has always worked out of the 616, but in the early days crossovers were far less common (the idea of the 616 wasn’t even established originally). DC jumps around and reboots all the time, but within a reboot they do have their…

Geezus, it’s amazing how many people don’t understand this. There’s an unintentional gatekeeping by superfans who want everyone to be as excited as they are (good!) but they put up unrealistic expectations to get there (bad!) My voice has gone hoarse over telling this crowd, no, no one needs to see [laundry list] to…

This is a very thoughtful and rational comment.

Dean Thomas. Angelina Johnson. There are a whole THREE, excuse me.

Or Kaskyyyk. Where iirc you have to do the sliding maze whenever you want to get to the inner tree. And isn’t there fast travel to the top but not back down? Baffling. 

The fast travel in Chained Echoes is so so good. It’s fairly extensive and you can use it anywhere outside of a few key plot moments (but you’re warned before these start). It’s so good that when I go back to God of War Ragnarok I’m a bit frustrated at the amount of manual backtracking required.

Backtracking is a feature bc it’s a Metroidvania. But there’s certainly a time-respectful way of doing this, and Fallen Order definitely had a few places that were huge pains in the ass to get to/from and were just begging for fast travel.

It’s really terrible. Apparently it’s fixed in the full game, but why the hell would you not show your best face in the demo? That turned me off from considering the full game!

Looking at the nature of these announcements, the answer is “no”.

Yeah this is where I struggle. The game already started in a bad spot bc of the woman of color protagonist. But I’ve read enough reviews from places I trust that are pretty consistent about its actual shortcomings. I too want to support it to Fuck the Haters, but I’m also not playing full price for any AAA game with…

Yes I am aware of this. But I’m talking about how the Senate passed a permanent DST bill in 2022 that died in the House (yes, the Democratic-controlled House) because the lobby played its hand.

Makes me really want to stop using these services! But what alternative do I have? Good ol’ American freedom. 

> It makes me wonder what other bizarrely specific lobbies wield that sort of influence.

I thought it was a really good, and I’m not a crazy Star Wars person. I AM a crazy Metroidvania person tho. All in all I found it super engaging with a solid combat system in interesting worlds with a kickass soundtrack.

I don’t think media outlets will cut staff over Twitter verification. They will just deal with the potential troll accounts or leave the service altogether.
