It’s not about talent.

That’s the thing though - have they, or is Nintendo getting special artistic leeway here?

What is it with conservatives and using “the narrative” or “editorial” like it’s some big secret or a perjorative? Like you’d think Newsmax (coming up next) or Fox getting caught in open discovery doing these things it’s just really bizarre that people come into liberal or centrist spaces and use “narrative” like…

I mean I’d agree if they’d just have a universal way of sorting or handling them. IO9's old, get the blessing of a regular and you can post is good.

Like everything else, recall is a good thing but it’s really hard to make it effective and just not make it trigger perpetual elections.

I think anyone with more than a passing acquaintance of how art functions can handwave something if the aesthetic choice is intentional.

I think plenty of people have made this note, especially with Japanese games that don’t seem to have the same hi res assets that their US/Western counteparts rely on. Whether that is based on an actual realism aesthetic preference or simply the West in 2023 has a deeper in-language and dev support toolbox I think is…

And that’s fine.

I totally dig people who just want to download things and that’s that.

I had a really weird moment here where I read the article and by brain fixated on donating blood platelets because I like donating blood/plasma etc. regularly.

Considering how deeply Gunn borrowed from other media for his interpretation, it would be weird if he was territorial honestly.

It’s really just people forget that responding has that impact. And it makes sense. I’ve been around for a decade plus and I’m still in the greys. So some people are in the grey’s looking through stuff and then make a mistake not realizing it’s an obvious troll.

Just resign yourself to your life as a curmudgeon and move on.

What I’m not understanding is at that point in the story, The Proud Boys openly demonstrate mens rea in admitting why they were doing it thus committing assault under the law. Even if the police are scum in this story and we keep that interpretation and the prosecutor is complicit, Gwen can still file a criminal…

I’m not understanding something (this is a question about the story, not a gotcha) - if the Proud Boys put out a statement openly admitting their goal was intimidation of a person - even if you were in the most conservative of conservative areas, doing something that stupid to actually declare mens rea publicly thus…

Kotaku: Nintendo engages is some shitty business practices.

I could get behind that.  I loved The High Evolutionary’s actor who really straddled the line between scenery chewing and keeping it grounded.   But I think I’d rather he own that roll and let someone else who was given a smaller role take it if they recast.

Always been pretty simple for me - Step 1, read something. Step 2, let the process play out while doing something else.  Strangely?  It’s actually not that hard unless I lose the complete and total ability to choose what to click on next.

I think that’s partially why he’s saying it.

In general just don’t have heroes (or have them strictly based on reason like skill).
