I can’t support Boys and Girls in America as The Hold Steady’s best album. It has some great songs, but Separation Sunday is the masterpiece. (Everything after Boys and Girls in America can step in front of a bus.)

Shoulda been Yangus.

That was what I was thinking on Yakuza 0 . . . until they never even bothered to give the homeless guy you hide out with an actual name. Nope, just Bearded Homeless Man.

People getting tattoos in languages they aren’t fluent in is kinda sad and embarrassing, but that’s a different issue entirely.

Yeah, that’s more or less been resolved, and it wasn’t going to affect this particular tournament in any case. 

Or you can take the optimistic reading: no change is popular without the inevitable culling of death!

Doesn’t seem right to say that Fujimura hasn’t won any big tournaments. He won two premiers this year, including CEO, which always has one of the most stacked fields. Pretty sure that’s more than anyone not named Tokido.

I’m in the same boat. I just don’t know how many people are with us. In this comment section and others, I’ve seen more resistance to another platform than I expected. And hey, I’m a bit of a zealot. I find it infuriating when I learn that someone bought The Witcher on Steam instead of GOG.

Well, just think of the ubiquity of Fortnite as a necessary foot in the door that Epic needed to make this feasible. It removes one of the biggest friction points, getting users to create an account for a huge group of people, Fortnite players (although not you and me, I’m not a Fortnite player either).

I don’t think making good games is a valid prerequisite for being an effective storefront.

I have about 400 games on Steam. And it’s not like I have to stop playing them. It’s just a matter of checking Steam and Epic’s new platform when making new purchases.

It is more convenient, but knowing that the devs earn a greater percentage would make me change my platform of choice. I like Steam fine, but less money for the middleman seems great to me.

Yes, perhaps his issue is not that he can’t figure out how to get his money to work for him, but that he is an unlikable jackhole.

That’s not really how it’s works. In SF V, you can no longer move your character after a round is over.

I bet Xavier Woods doesn’t vote Republican.

As someone who has eaten Calbee potato chips before, yeah, they’re probably wrong. If they’re using higher quality potatoes, it certainly doesn’t show

Definitely not an issue of free speech, but I have a bit of sympathy for the content creators. YouTube has done a poor job of maintaining consistency and communicating, and that is very annoying. Hopefully, they will get it right this time (or at least close).

Depends on the demographics. A lot of video game streamers rely on a pretty young audience. They can watch ads with the best of them, but they’re not so good at backing on Patreon. If you’re looking at mostly adults, Patreon can be great.

Zhi is literally the worst commentator possible. Unless you enjoy words that don’t mean what he thinks they mean and terrible extended metaphors including terrible pop culture references.

I thought there were some really high taxes on them, but if that’s not the case, what’s driving it? The only other options seem monopolization or collusion.
