Pixel-art is a very specific kind of visual medium. I think comparing graphics of a SNES game to one now is an apples to oranges thing.

Of course preference is totally subjective and could go either way, but they were legitimately able to do more on a technical level with the same general style. They made some artistic choices for sure, but even if they had stuck truer to the original it would have been much like the original but better. Just look at…

And yet even Wind Waker looks better on better hardware as seen with Wind Waker HD...

I assumed it was a bit of both. Like they went with the water colors look because it would be more forgiving on older tech, which even the Switch itself was at launch. I have no idea if that’s actually true or not though.

I have to ask, does everything look washed out because of hardware limitations, or is that an artistic choice? The lighting just looks really ugly to me.

The bar is so low for Nintendo 

There used to be pogroms all the time. There have been so many that we don’t even have them all documented. 1612 in England was the height of the witch trials and more likely than not was chosen because of that.

I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of your boycott. There is actual violence being committed against women, but you won’t boycott the works of those people committing the assaults.

Lol ok

Because there is no antisemitism in Harry Potter. Goblins are a fantasy trope. Take it up with D&D and the thousands of fantasy books written before her.

“Accessing Roald Dahl’s work, for instance? Yes, he was an antisemite. But he’s dead, the work he’s remembered for doesn’t push his bigoted narratives, and his estate has publicly apologized for his bigotry.”

No, I think the real message from your

They’re truly the worst kind of people. 

It seems to have worked out for them. It’s the most watched game on Twitch by a large margin, which means more money for them, more money for Twitch/Amazon and more advertising for WB. The game is the top-seller on Steam and, as of this writing, the second most played game even though it doesn’t officially release…

This was one of my complaints about the ActiBlizz boycott when the abuse stories exploded last year. No one seemed to be asking the internal advocacy group that was formed how they could be best helped. It was just a bunch of grandstanding in comments sections about boycotting because it’s the go-to solution when…

Your level-headedness is not welcome here sir.

Really? But here Angel is doing exactly that to people who want to play a game

This is the take. Absolutely don’t play it if it bothers you, put forth any and every critique you’ve got against it, (which is sadly not happening a lot, what a shocker that when all the critical folks stay away out of principle, the conversation is dominated by deeply uncritical people!) but this absurd line-in-the-s…

Have you watched Woody Allen movies? Do you watch Buffy or Firefly? How about rewatching Parks and Recreation? Have you ever read Roald Dahl? Rewatched any Weinstein Company movie (so many out there that you probably have)?

Some people have made it their entire identity to attack people who are planning to play this game as bigots or bigot enabling and I just can’t with these people. I’ve donated a not-insignificant amount of my time and money to progressive candidates but im going to enjoy creative mediums and I separate art from…
