You’re still fully justified in thinking other game endings are disappointing. Especially Mass Effect, which isn’t dealing with a low budget and similar deadlines, and whose entire selling point is ostensibly a rich story.

It would have been great if another character’s path explained what happened. Very cool, in fact! But with no in-game explanation, it’s just frustrating.

Yet someone will always accuse Nintendo of artificially making the Switch scarce.

No, he wasn’t. He wasn’t being a douche. He was attempting to show how totalitarian things are in Russia right now. Which is why he was discussing what the laws were and how long the sentencing was in his video. He proved his point. Or in this case the Russian government proved his point. Only someone who truly…

This here everyone is what a violation of one’s free speech actually looks like. The Russian government is arresting him for saying negative things about the Russian Orthodox Church. This is one of the times where it’s appropriate to say that this man’s free speech is being violated.

I’m glad there are so many people like you who think racism is something that is ok. I’m glad there are so many people like you who think apologies that come after the individual making said apology is surprised that people don’t think racism is ok.

And now for a quick reminder for everyone that free speech does not protect you from freedom from consequences and that the First Amendment only protects you from the government censoring your speech, private organizations can and will punish you for saying racist shit like this. This is because these organizations…

Oh, for sure. Once you go out into the working world, and have bills to pay, finding the time for a BA can be tough. Also, like you mention, the for profit universities using predatory methods aimed towards working adults are everywhere. That said, he’s still only 17. If there’s ever a time in life to go, and try to…

I want to believe Capcom and Nintendo had the same old CD from some 90s world music store lying around and thought “eh sounds about right”.

Same thing here.

I know he’ll get a lot of hate, but, college, and a normal career will always be there.

Yeah, well, parents (unless they are actually dicks) want the best for their kids, which in lot’s of people’s head means “make something out of your life” as in “don’t waste your life” as in “i hope my kid gets a proper education and a “good” job and doesn’t end up on the street/unemployed” etc.

Hopefully everyone understands that this is the exception and not the rule.

he’s hoping to start a center where he can coach other players through all the tough early stuff after his career’s done. ambitious bordering on impractical depending on how his career goes, but it’s a cool goal

Just because Nintendo was the big dog of the era and they were known for sanitizing games does not mean that that is the purpose of localization.

Localization is about shaping media for a cultural market. Onigiri becomes “jelly donut” - Localization.

In gaming, lately though, localization has overstretched into territories closer to:

1) ‘Sanitation’ where things are changed just to suit a PC ‘safe space’ pansy sensibility. (This particular case WOULD fall under…

I think I lost a few brain cells reading this. It’s not like the game was even making a joke about the KKK that was being censored. It was literally just an unfortunate acronym that has different meaning here. Hell, leaving it as KKK and giving the joke a different meaning actually changes the vision of the game…

Weird, and I try so hard.

Sure, they dump a bunch of extra fries in your bag, but they aren’t Arby’s curly fries. Pork belly plus curly fries trumps Five Guys any day.
