Nah, the update from Nintendo makes it seem like Nintendo is lying through their teeth because of the bad PR.

Nintendo isn’t “handing out licenses” though. So far to my knowledge the only major tournaments to be sanctioned by Nintendo are ones that are affiliated with Panda Global who is in a partnership with Nintendo. 

Nintendo has never licensed events in the past, and has taken a hands off approach to competitive events until a year ago when they partnered with Panda Global and started hosting officially licensed competitions through that partnership.

Nintendo seemed willing to work with Smash World Tour initially. In the time…

It’s because it’s not *just* a collector’s piece. It’s also a game piece, and the cards that sell for thousands of dollars aren’t just rare but they are also necessary for building the best decks in the game formats where those cards are still legal. And there is a subset of the player base who is willing to pay a…

No, those cards don’t only have value because they are old and rare. Plenty of things are old and rare.

Cards like Black Lotus have value because they still see play in the ame formats where those cards are legal, and they are in demand because there are players who are willing to pay a premium to have the best deck in…

Yes, comedy is often used as a coping mechanism to deal with your own misfortune, and many comedians make the choice to include others in that process.

Making fun of someone else while they are suffering misfortune just makes you an asshole. Doesn’t matter if you’re doing it as an anonymous commenter or on stage with a…

The reason we don’t is because we live in a capitalist society and it’s not profitable to do so; the people in power have no incentive to eliminate poverty.

What do you accomplish by mocking a position that you created and which isn’t held by the person you’re replying to?

If you just want to have a conversation with yourself, there’s no reason that you need to do it on a public forum.

I think you’re right that you don’t need a large roster of viable characters to maintain a healthy competitive scene.

But if we are looking at the current state of Ultimate, the competitive scene has enjoyed a surprisingly balanced and diverse meta for a roster of its size for a few years at this point, with dozens of…

Why do you need this ridiculous false dichotomy where as long as Google isn’t robbing you at gunpoint then everything they do is perfectly fine? 

You throw away my focus on her story as if it’s nothing, when it’s my entire point.

“Maybe because I’ve always thought people look more attractive in clothes or partially undressed than naked”

Didn’t you know, a game is only “adult” if it was developed for horny 14 year-olds!

Also, it’s rich accusing other’s of not understanding when your response to a post that explained Shinzo Abe’s politics in great detail was “lol didn’t read, too many words, what a try-hard.”

Clearly I’m not the one who needs a simplified understanding of the world. I can essay post with the best of them, I’m just…

“... and now he is a fascist?”

Actually, it’s cool and good when a fascist bites it. If you want respect in death don’t live a shitty life.

Your winterwear needs to be good if your country has winters that can defeat entire armies.

If you don’t want people to celebrate your death, don’t live a shitty life and don’t use your position of power to harm literally millions of people.

Fuck that “take the high road respect the dead” nonsense. It’s objectively cool and good whenever a fascist bites it.
