Some people do say ‘Sness’. Just like the ‘Ness’ folks.

At least you don’t have to worry about a song lineup? (Unless you prefer western rhythm games.)

I wish I had an exact answer. I thought it would be back by now.

When I say “correlates with Gen 2" I mean what errors translate into when sent to the new game. It’s not a design process thing, for the most part it just takes every unused number and goes down the list of new Pokemon in order.

We do know some unused ideas carry over. On the other hand, they’ve also recently talked a…

I wouldn’t read too much into how how MISSINGNO “correlates” with Gen 2. The transfer process turns any all unused index numbers into a valid gen 2 Pokemon chosen in Johto national dex order so it pops out a valid Pokemon.

It’s totally possible the deer idea evolved into Stantler. It’s also possible someone just said…

I’m a guy and this is precisely why I try to have some conversation first and don’t just barrel straight into plans. I’ve been blatantly told by female friends that they had to talk with guys they were meeting for a bit before setting up a date, too.

I obviously don’t understand what they’re doing or why, because the reality of how Pokemon go was handled seems to me like one of the biggest missed opportunities I can even think of in gaming. They’re making money even with the shit product, think of a truly good one.

Who said it needed to be free?

You’re talking about a company that sells video game hardware as well as software. And one of (if not the) top selling software on their platforms.

Pokémon Go is about a casual mobile game that gets you out being active and exploring.

I remember when this game was fairly new and Sega got aggressive with IP locking it so you needed a VPN. If that’s still the case, it may not be import friendly...

This is pretty hilarious.

I’m part of a (very slowly progressing) Pathfinder campaign. Our DM stipulated our characters all had to bad guys for this, so I of course took this in the stupidest direction possible and rolled a bard who was part of a popular boy band that broke up. Faced with independence and a solo…

Yeah, sorry about Nerd Rage being on hiatus. I got sick during the holidays and other work for other clients took over my regularly-scheduled-Nerd-Rage-time.

That’s really thoughtful and I appreciate it. Interest in a physical book has been too low to make printing books a profitable endeavor. Right now I sell prints at conventions, but I’m considering Patreon when things get back in order?

I do feel terrible about my absence.

I will never understand this.

This is correct. I could have worded that more clearly and I hope no one expects that to mean by the end of the month. By “end of the year” I’m talking about the fiscal year.

Probably not a lot of reason, then, unless you want to replay it or play it in portable mode.

Besides the fact it’s on a platform people own? By the end of the year, Switch is projected to have sold more units than the Wii U did in its lifetime.

It sucks, there isn’t a good win scenario here.

We boycott the game an EA shuts down a studio that’s only making these design decisions because EA forces them. Or they stop making Battlefront games completely due to “lack of demand”.
