It could be a staffing manpower thing. Platty is really prolific for their size, and they don’t have the budget of, say, Squeenix to put a title in development for a decade while they figure out how to make it shippable. (Obviously, they need to pull a reverse-Nier 2 and import Tabata to light fire under people’s…

Having less good games is always a shame, but I’m also willing to respect cancelling a game instead of shipping bad product. At least Nier 2's coming, probably without the dinosaurs, but you never know with Yoko.

Having done zero research, I’m thinking that one should be able to basically mimic the Aeropress process at scale (possibly using an existing aeropress to do the final step, no idea how vital the straining-through-the-filter part is). Because I like mine and don’t want to replace it, but it’s a pain that I can only do…

Well, you may as well give him the benefit of the doubt that he was all planning to drop the mic on what might’ve been his last rodeo. We’ll never know.

You should probably get Nier 1 out of the way before Automata comes out, if only because it’s going to feel unplayable afterwards— It’s got the storytelling down, of course, so from the perspective of Nier 1 into Nier 2, the proof that Platinum’s delivering on their promise of immaculate gameplay seals the deal that…

Lindsey Graham has a wicked sense of humor, which is completely irrelevant to his job, but puts him above the career entertainer at his own job. I’d love to hear him at a roast, any roast.

It’s more about his impermanence making it a flawed comparison, not that it’s factually untrue that Liu Bang wasn’t into slave labor. (Optimistically-speaking, because I don’t want impermanence.) I wouldn’t want people to think China had a rebellion against convict-labor and turned away from it for the next 2000…

This of it this way: Good things need time in the oven.

That’s a bit unfair, that wasn’t the first or most major time that happened (nor was it the last time China would use slave-esque labor of their own people for mass construction, it’s not like they were so mad about labor they corrected things).

The things that money could be spent on to prevent problems are not desired and will not be desired. Nobody up is trying to make American public schools #1 in the world, or STI rates lowest in the world, it has no strategic value when you can win with all these unimproved structures in place.

Welp, I live in a state where a particular major population center has 2x the average STI rates and everybody knows it, somebody’s getting a call. They’re not going to take me seriously, but whatever, I don’t like this “number one in STIs” strategy.

Realism!

The art makes me miss Noodle Ao Kuang again, that Green Noodle’s pretty adorable.

KISS called. It’s old hat, boss.

As someone completely aware that Klefki’s keys aren’t biological features (and a fan of it in general), I’m not sure if it’s more correct to say the main body is a “small creature” as opposed to the main body being a sentient keyring in the same way Magnemite is a sentient magnet.

That’s totally fair. I’m really interested in the food science challenges and victories of ingredient substitutions (and the science and recipe tweaking that goes into so-called gluten-free baking fascinates me), but I sure don’t intentionally seek out lifestyle recipes.

Morality is not useful in this situation, and it’s frequently not legally useful either. It’s like threatening to punish a toddler by taking away their vegetables.

Walking for 20 minutes is inconsequential as your sole source of exercise, except compared to getting absolutely none. It’s been my daily commute for half a decade, and I may have fantastic calves, but without intentional development I wouldn’t be able to lift a small dog or open a soda bottle without hurting myself.

Japan listens to Japan, and by that, I mean the scary scary Western female voices you’re dodging around mentioning directly have no particular cache and never will. I’m a female Nier/Drakengard fan and I’m hype for this, meanwhile ya’ll’re so insecure.

Remember the last set of red herrings? Mitsy? Or the ones before that with Bill Gates? It means nothing.
