Only in Where in Time! On SNES, it’s because I’d emulated it and used save states. On PC, it’s because the game was a straightforward puzzle edutainment game. Never in any of the other base games, sadly!

This sounds amazing--I went to Steam immediately to add it to my library. With the fervor over any form of racially-minded education in the USA, I doubt it would happen, but it sounds like it would be an *excellent* addition to classrooms. I remember playing a shitton of Carmen Sandiego as a kid without even realizing…

Yoshida is a lot more transparent than a lot of other devs, from what I’ve seen. We’ll get little nuggets of what’s going on, but it’ll be pretty brief; in contrast, a lot of times when stuff changes with FFXIV, Yoshida ends up explaining what the issues are and the reasons why they can’t be fixed right away. It’s…

There’s a lot of discussion, especially over the last couple of years, about this and how #ownvoices eventually backfired a bit and turned partially into a weird essentialist “only x minority can write x minority.” (Which ends up fucking over people, like we saw with the fervor over Isabel Fall or when Becky…

I think there’s legitimately a conversation to be had about how we (society) react to representation, especially when that representation comes from minority creators; we (society) often go so hard at imperfect representation or at representation that’s authentic but speaks to experiences that aren’t ours, and the…

I know it’s a tired refrain by now, but I do wish this was on consoles. I’ve been playing it on my iPad Mini with a PS4 controller and it’s a lot of fun, but the built-in controller controls can be a little iffy at times (and I’m not sure how much of it is me forgetting controls and how much is weird implementation).…

I wonder if this means the Madoka wiki will finally get rid of its weird-ass page dedicated to Mami’s boobs.

I think it’s the “living together” part that’s the most important. So often I see people complaining about gay ships and saying “we don’t have any caring male friendships!”, except bromances (including tender ones) are *such* a big thing in media. Living together happily single, though? That’s a bit different. We…

There’s a story, but the SMT main series is a lot more about world-building and atmosphere than character and plot. You’ll have NPC demons to talk to, a narrative to follow, things like that, but the emphasis is more on atmosphere and combat. For what it’s worth, the mainline SMT games average around 40-50 hours to…

Well, let’s hope it also isn’t Reuben Langdon (Dante’s original VA). Oy vey.

I mean, the phrasing “Persona without the heart” makes it sound like something is *missing* from SMTV, but that’s not quite the case? It’s a clash in taste, not necessarily an actual negative point. People were going to be mad no matter what, sadly, given the nature of the internet and gamers, but I think there are…

A lot of SMT fans seem bitter that Persona gets more attention, hence the memes and rage about comparing them at all. That attitude is silly; Persona’s related to the SMT games and is better-known, so of COURSE there will be comparisons. It’s a good thing, even—it helps head off complaints that SMT needs to be the…

You’re doing a LOT of reading into the 7 words I responded to you with lmfaoooo

Saying “just leave then” isn’t nuance, dude.

Just added this to my Switch wishlist. It sounds great. Thanks for the rec, Renata! I’m sorry gamers are being assholes.

idk, I think it’s pretty clear that Genshin’s focus is on the story and exploring the world. If you finish all of that and get bored with the game, just set it down and play something else until the next update; it’s the same thing we do with conventional single-player games, after all. Hell, even MMOs function like…

I mean, the founders left a studio that was literally investigated by the State of California for sexism and harassment, founded a new one while speaking positively of ANOTHER studio that’s been specifically under fire for the same thing, and one of the founders even publicly commented on it. This isn’t just random…

Oh, we have plenty of jokes on my planet. I just don’t find the ones in the Guardians flicks funny :P

Is the humor done in the same style as the MCU Guardians of the Galaxy movies? They’ve done absolutely nothing for me; I think I’ve laughed maybe 3 times total at them? It makes me really sad, as I genuinely wanted to like them considering how much people fell in love with the characters. If this Guardians is similar,…

Well, this sucks. If you contributed work that made it into the game, you should be credited.
