Well, it's certainly better than how Tolkien depicted black people in his books.

Oh yeah, no, don’t touch the NES version

Seemed fine to me

Games which could hypothetically be in Vol 2:

You yourself felt the need to differentiate, though.

You LITERALLY just had to specify “Mortal Kombat (2011]” and “Mortal Kombat (1993)“ in order to differentiate the two. Most fans say MK1 and MK9 due to the fact that the game that came after the one you call “Mortal Kombat (2011]“ was MKX AKA MK10. Just like fans are likely to ignore this title and call the game MK12.…

The good news is that that frees up that space for indie devs to fill.

Mortal Kombat 2: Electric Boogaloo

Mortal Kombat 2: Mortal-er Kombat

Personally I would have given this whole timeline its own modified title, for instance “Extreme Mortal Kombat” or whatever, and then the sequel could be called "Extreme Mortal Kombat 2" etc. Then it becomes very easy to understand how all these games relate to each other.

I’m not mad about anything; all I did was ask a rhetorical question. Interpreting that as anger says more about your emotional state than mine. But you’re right: the fifth, sixth and seventh MK games had subtitles. And maybe the game after this one will have one, too. But if the next game after this has a subtitle,…

And what are they gonna call the inevitable sequel?

Did... did you just suggest the assassination of a politician?

I agree, but in the defence of the streaming services, there is a certain amount of dodginess to the fact that D&D has black-skinned “dark” elves who are a civilization of evil CHUDs... and also light-skinned “normal” elves.

I think the general point is that the fact that we in this comment section are mostly just pointing and laughing at these incels, means that we actually have more in common with their misanthropy than we’d like to admit, since wasting time in comment sections mocking other human beings is textbook troll behavior. I…

Back in the early days of gaming, if you beat a certain score on an Activision game, you could take a picture and send it to them with your name and adress, and they’d send you a patch. And I don’t mean software that fixes a bug, I mean an actual fabric patch you could stitch into your shirt or backpack or whatever.

Activision Blizzard makes more than just Call of Duty.

Speaking as a former games developer, exclusivity deals usually mean the game never would have gotten made in the first place if the console manufacturer hadn’t offered to pay for development on condition of exclusivity. Back in the 360 era MS used to pay LOTS of indie devs for games in the hopes that one or two would…

It all depends on what “The Way” is. Most of the time, when Din or the Armorer says “This is the way”, they’re talking about doing something honorable or at least benignly ritualistic like not removing one’s helmet. Like, it’s not logical, but it doesn’t really hurt anyone either, and it’s only required for people who…
