Oh my god this math makes me freaking angry. None of this is how that works. All of the money paid to charity, all of the money paid to moderators, all of that gets deducted from taxes (NOT from net profits). If he is paying 75k to mods, and donating 80k to charity, then that means that his taxable income isn’t 300k,…

No kidding....I listened to the Takenobu Mitsuyoshi track that Mike Fahey closed out the article with, then proceeded to play this in the car to my wife and kids on the school commute:

I loved my Saturn, and giving it away is one of my great regrets. Panzer Dragoon Saga was excellent, the only JRPG from that era that is on the same level, IMO, is Xenogears. The system did not have a lot of top-notch games, but the ones it had were truly awesome.

BOGUS! Good to see you ‘round these parts! I’ve started writing a few of the Morning Music articles (Wednesday was mine). I definitely agree that SOJ knew what they were doing around this time with respect to game development. If only they’d been similarly competent in console design and marketing strategies.

Right? I still haven’t finished Gears 5, Borderlands 3 and a bunch of others on this list. I’m getting Valhalla day one plus the Game Pass games here on this list make it a pretty solid line up all things considered.

“I don’t know what previous generation launch titles look like, but...”

My guess is they view Kirby as a very kid friendly game. The two IPs you mentioned, not so much.
I mean they can be E for everyone, but the way they built Kirby games, they can basically make any game they want. F Zero HAS to be racing, Metroid HAS to be a shooter of some kind. If they didn’t, people would get mad. No…

Lol. You spent a paragraph bashing the game and saying “i am NOT exaggerating when I say I like Excel more!”

I feel the same way, this game just isn’t for me: I’m just not the kind of person who’s driven by a game without an end goal. But I’m glad folks who do like this sort of game are getting more and more content out of it.

Top rare employees left 5 years after the acquisition

Out of curiosity do you actually know anyone at Rare? I’ve spoken with people at Rare and they have had wonderful experiences. Mileage may vary but MS are not the same MS they were 15 or 20 years ago and they continue to evolve.

Do you honestly think a bunch of adults with bills to pay and families to feed were proactively leaving Rare because of the chance that MS would be their owner?

Im really happy to hear this. I’ve been following Ooblets for a long timeatime back when they announced that Ooblets would battle via dancing I was really concerned that they would be able to make the battle mechanics that were fun and engaging, I’m glad they’ve been able to do this.

You can also get one cloth for 10 wishes, which I found was a good way to stockpile enough to progress! 

While those who prefer PC, Xbox, and PlayStation are all completely rational and reasonable people.

got me good, dang

Shared from a friend of mine who possesses strong socialist beliefs:

You can get that from third-party sellers, but I doubt Nintendo will ever release one themselves because it would destroy the ability to use each Joycon as a standalone controller.

2) I don’t see how it’s objectively false at all. Events in Animal crossing have literally always been a crapshoot. They’re cheesy and repeated constantly and most of them give awful furniture or useless items, such as fireworks. The difference here is that this event lasts two weeks, and while it is technically not a…
