“This put any gripes over CGI anime to rest”

Same, even in Northern California temperatures will be mid-70's throughout October in most years. A carved pumpkin’s life can be measured in hours.

As a recommendation to others in hot areas: last year my partner decided to paint her pumpkin rather than carve it and it lasted until May the next year.

We just kept it…

Good old name-calling, the last vestige of the loser with no real argument.

Lash out all you want to try to save face, nobody is fooled.

I agree but that’s the problem with arguing on the internet. If someone is retroactively allowed to change the meaning of their words (“every” = “many”, etc) they become impossible to argue with as they can constantly shift the burden of proof away.

“Ok,” I foolishly think and say, “Destiny 2, Underlords, Teamfight…

You said “every”, all I needed to prove you wrong was one you clown. I don’t need to write you a list, one game and you’re wrong.

You chose the wrong word, got called on it, then behaved like a brat, congrats!

It’s not like Dota2 is small, you just ran your mouth trying to sound like an expert.

> And every MOBA/Fighting Game charges for new characters too.

Dota2 has never charged for new characters. Don’t say “every” when you only mean the limited number you know about.

So the studio with no pedigree beyond ports, that couldn’t even punt a competent port out the door of KotOR 2, is having problems with a total remake??

I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked!

...well not that shocked.

Remember: this is the studio that’s doing the KOTOR remake.

I’m scratching my head as to how people have high hopes for it (blind optimism?). This studio can’t even effectively make a functioning port of a game.

If you look at even the most remotely successful open-world game you see the same formula: large expanses of procedurally generated world with smaller hand-designed areas for deeper gameplay.

Yes gameplay can happen when traversing the world (getting crafting materials, etc). But largely the game is going from A to B…

> “...every single time one of these things comes up”

Ah, you mean when human issues get in the way of making money? One of those issues?

If we outlawed lobbying and actually got corporate money out of our legal and political system then maybe a company could say, “We have no statement, we just make nails,” and go back…

Everything you just said can be done without wasting electricity for no reason. The environment is not a strawman.

“Most NFTs are on carbon neutral/negative blockchains”. Prove it. Better yet, disprove this:

More than 90% of NFTs are traded on Etherium. Proof:…

“Multi-level marketing scheme like Amway is just a new way to buy home and beauty products. Don’t like pyramid schemes? Don’t buy them! Simple!”

Your logic assumes the rest of us are looking at NFTs and thinking “Meh, no thanks,” rather than seeing them for what they are: a pump and dump scheme wrapped in an…

I think more than anything he has the social awareness to realize NFTs are contentious enough to keep quiet about them.

If you’re going to cater a nerd following you have to be pretty cautious. If you’re too generic and pandering “I like all games!” it comes off as inauthentic. Go too hard, “Star Wars sucks, Star Trek…

“How come nobody is talking about the economy!?!” he yells at the TV, which has been on Cartoon Network for weeks on end.

Like damn man, sucks that Kotaku isn’t the world news hub you expected it to be.

Ah the classic internet response: “I can’t argue with this person’s actual point, let me insult them.”

I looked through your comment history and at everything everything on that first page is an insult. Idk if there’s anything in your life that gives you joy but it sure as shit isn’t the things you comment on.…

Nope, read it again. I take special care at multiple points to respect that persons opinion and the opinion of people who have different priorities in what they want in a gaming experience. Here, since you probably skimmed I’ll make a list:

* a bigger priority for some people...

As a game developer I always love these tidbits because someone could easily look at this and scoff and say, “Bah, what a stereotypical view of France, do they think they’re dancing with joy over bread?”

Not realizing that there was no time or ability to make anything completely bespoke. That the person in charge had…

I think the issue is that as pokemon games are increasingly visually outpaced by their competitors it’s clear that they simply don’t care to solve these issues, rather than they can’t. So people have relevant and specific references they can point to and say, “Ok...so why didn’t you solve it the way that other game…

OR...maybe people engage with games as art and therefore have nuanced priorities of what does and does not make a good game? Art is a bigger priority for some people. Some people love or hate games based solely on the soundtrack.

If I said, “Hey this game is beautiful but it controls like shit” I wouldn’t tell you to…

As someone with 32GB I would say it’s currently overkill for the vast majority of people and likely will be for some time and here’s why:

My 32GB has in no way been problematic even in a high end game development scenario. I have a 3090 and 5950x, so essentially the best GPU/CPU you can get until you go into proper…
