Sort of like how I called out some people the other day for going all high-school gossip over some YouTuber after their hand-wringing over gaming journalism being bad, it’s basically just people are looking for something to bitch about.

A sad state for the comic when you have no clue what they’re talking about

Can you just go full Deadspin and call it “Let’s Remember Some Pokemon?” I’m sure they won’t mind...

China, a country as nearly as big as the US (and bigger than the continental US, where all pro sports are played), does the soccer pyramid system that Europe does with pro/rel.

This reminds me of the SaGa games for Game Boy (aka, Final Fantasy Legend I/II) rather than that SMT gobbledygook.

Judging by the GIF, this is a movie version of Dragon Quest V (at least Part I of it). The blue turban and the tiger character suggest as much.

So...relevant question: How good is the port? Like, what graphics level does it compare to on PC/Mac?

You mean alienation. If you want to get at the heart of any conspiracy theorist, it is precisely that.

So, there’s this LPer I watch, and he did Valdis Story: Abyssal City. He was playing it blind, and he’s never played a game where you have to “build” characters before. So when he went adjusting the stats of his characters, he did what he thought was most sensible at the time: Balancing his stats.

Since, as you also pointed out, they dropped their fiber biz because... not enough customers.

Plots of that level (targeting national leaders) require a lot of planning, timing, resources and/or money. The Puerto Rican nationalists didn’t really have any of that until after the war, when many Puerto Ricans emigrated to the mainland. The only people they could target were locals. Moreover, FDR only visited…

Again...the problem with this idea is it doesn’t really make much sense on a historical level. At least with other alt-histories in the game, there is a veneer of plausibility: The Kaiser was still kind of angling to get back his throne until his death in the 1930s, Mussolini was never particularly fond of playing…

Luke, I hate saying this, but you’re really showing your Australian ignorance here. Disregarding what you’re potentially trying to say (which, let’s be honest, is poor form), the Democratic and Republican Parties were quite different back then. They were not so much ideologically coherent entities as they were a…

That’s the thing though: The only person really capable of having that sort of “strongman” potential is Huey Long. And he’s been dead 3 months by the time HoI4's timeline starts.

America’s has a lot of neo-Confederacy stuff that I frankly thought was a bit much even for this game

I feel like Yedder should take the blame. He overshot his pass, which forced Promes to improvise (you can see in his body language that he was not expecting the ball to go where it did). The cross was kind of bad, but it was due to the setup itself being bad.

How much you want to bet the devs are all like, “and at this point, drop a Thargoid here. You know, just to spice this thing up?”

I think the bulk is coming from the “Nintendo can’t do online right” camp, which is a more apt description of the “generalized complaints” comment. It’s not so much that Switch Online is not a fully-featured online system, it’s that it’s barely functional as an online system at all. We still have friend codes, for…

Eh, you should be pushed under a plow anyway

Except Fortnite.
