This was my entire experience with FFXV. It kept pushing me away, constantly, rather than bringing me into the story.

Just FYI in case it wasn’t obvious, the final attack on Ardyn was the“Knights of the Round” summon, with Noctis’ father taking the place of King Arthur at the end of the attack.

Ultimately, this is disingenuous business practice.

At best they will block auto-playing videos with audio, but even then it’s more likely they’ll mute the audio and let the video play. The only way you can stop it is with a third-party extension, for example I use one called AutoplayStopper and it does what it says.  It’s invaluable for browsing Kotaku now, and all…

No, there’s ways to circumvent this, like kinja sites do with their autoplay videos (only way to block them is blocking the whole player via something like noscript or uBlock- sorry Tim, but at least I watch you on YouTube).

No. The majority of those platforms (Reddit and pedia sites) have major mobile traffic which not only does not natively have ad-blockers, but also auto-plays video content as a preview. That is what’s causing inflation. Embedded players on site highly trafficked by mobile users. 

Imagine being some kid on 4chan

Huh.

They'll live on in your heart.

Just grow up child.  Enough of the bitching about missing Pokemon. 

....or they can just leave their very good game as it is because THERE’S ALREADY TOO MANY DAMN POKEMON!!!!

This would only stand if it referred to all types of sexuality, however. Reading a tiddy VN with plenty of fanservice is in no way less damaging than one where a kid finds out his father is having an affair. Quite the opposite, in fact - yet tiddy VNs can be published in Steam sans ESRB ratings at all, and kids can…

Note: Stadia died on the way back to its home planet.

South Park: The Stick of Truth has a part where one of the very underage characters becomes tiny, enters his parents’ room and walks around while they fuck.

Based on ONLY the article it seems like this is inconsistent enforcement. The children are not having the sex act performed on them, everyone is fully clothed and as far as I can tell, the effect the artist is going for is not erotic or pornographic. This seems like a genuine attempt to tell story through video games…

Yet Valve’s totally cool with the fact that some existing games have self admitted minors in such situations? funny fact, the Nekopara characters range from 3-6 years of (human) age. I’ll gladly stick with the STEAM versions of VN’s since it usually means I can opt out of the unnecessary stuff, but they really need to…

Real animals aren’t sentient like pokemon are, nor do they have super powers.

I think the assumption is that pokemon, at least some of them, are nearly at the intelligence of a human and fully able to understand the impact of an economy and their labor. Dogs don’t have any concept of labor or value, they just want to be good boys. 

Is that any different to how we treat real animals? Hell just dogs by themselves fill all 3 of those roles across different cultures.
