But how will my binary black hat/white hat worldview survive?

Exactly, This shit is Godzilla vs. Ghidorah. Disney is Godzilla, a giant monster that has destroyed a lot of things but also has done some nice things that don’t make up for the rampant destruction of Tokyo. Desantis is Ghidorah an even worse monster that wants to destroy everything.

Yeah, this case shows how complex democracy can be. Yes, on the one hand, Disney is using legal loopholes to circumbent the will of the elected representatives of the people. And that’s not good.

To everyone in the comments: It’s okay. You can admit what DeSantis is doing is absolutely an authoritative abuse of power without having to hem and haw about Disney to try and keep your “progressive” credibility.

They usually can’t define it because what it really means to them is: “A slur I’m still allowed to say”

Eggcoin, huh?

They had to move her from her original spot ,as in the first 20 years the statue was up, she went from a D cup to a C cup.

Honestly, stepping back objectively, buying any major third-party publisher right now is insane. Console gaming as a whole is facing some very serious problems as budgets on games go up and sales keep dropping as people tighten their belts. What you’re buying with any major publisher right now is a liability until the…

Exclusivity for everything has always been their plan; there was literally no reason to buy up all the IP otherwise

I think a more charitable read of it is that a decade is a fucking long time in video games, CoD has already peaked, and that they can’t guarantee the game will even still be relevant in 2033 let alone sign deals into perpetuity that guarantee Sony access to the franchise on their shiny new PlayStation 7. 

This is how every statue that has ever existed in human accessible space is treated. This isn’t a strange perverted phenomenon, this is weak exhibition design.

Relevant Miyazaki quote from 1988.

The headline is a lie, also kotaku needs to stop trying to piggyback off the popularity of pornstars.

Yeah, this metaphor doesn’t work because the whole reason fast food is popular is because it’s fast and cheap, not because it’s good. Whereas a volume of One Piece or Naruto costs exactly as much as a volume of whatever your favorite manga is, and (so long as it’s in print) it’s just as easy to find. So those series…

They just need to git gud

Think for a minute about why the rent is higher in walkable places. Specifically about supply and demand. Those places cost more because demand for living there outstrips supply. It’s like that old Yogi Berra malaprop, “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”

Anime really changed how I thought of the word “rival”. Whereas beforehand I used to think of rivals as nothing but a tough nemesis to defeat, I now think about it with more nuance; they can still be persistently a thorn in one’s side but underneath there can lie a mutual respect, a grudging admiration that arises…

I mean... the differences were really stark back then, so a term like that made sense at the time. I also don’t think Yoshi-P has much room to complain considering Square bought into the whole “westerners are too dumb for RPGs” thing that brought us Mystic Quest and neutered parts of FFIV.

JRPG always denoted a style of game to me, not an RPG made in Japan. I don’t consider Dragon’s Dogma or Dark Souls JRPGs. But I do consider Chained Echoes a JRPG, even though it was developed by someone from Germany. 

That’s a lot of labia.
