The “core gamer” that the AAA developers/titles bend over backwards to please, are the unwashed masses who say tripe like this game is “woke.” They are basically the gamer version of Trump supporters. I wish our beloved industry would do better, but it would cost them dearly, so we know they will not double down on…

I have a feeling that Papa Nintendo will force the hand of TPC and Gamefreak to expand to have a less-rocky debut of whatever the next gen of games is. TPC and Gamefreak are incredibly small compared to their peers. The original Pokemon games were developed by less than a dozen people if I remember correctly.…

I simply do not *get* Lori Harvey.

Agreed. I think that by caving into the “Pokemon must go open-world” crowd, they in-effect, only pleased a subset of the Pokemon fanbase. Kids may overlook the graphical mishaps, but I cannot imaaaaaaagine being a kid and losing my save file to a bug. I would be devastated. As an adult, I would simply sh*tpost until I…

Cannot get over just how chonky and crazed Paul looks. Something is off with Nina as well, but I cannot put my finger on it. Everyone else looks absolutely stellar though. Cannot WAIIIIIIIIT to see what Yoshimitsu looks like this iteration :)

In total, my copy of Violet has only crashed three times, which is not bad, but not great either. The graphically wonky problems of S/V never really bothered me too much as I completed my dex with relative ease, but whewwwww they really need to retool Geeta’s team for the final battle. All she had to do was lead with…

I picked up Shining Pearl last spring and it was my first Pokemon game since OG Pearl, which I thought was fitting. I loved the hell out of it, and did not understand all the vitriol surrounding it on Reddit. After that, I grabbed Sword and Arceus. I completed the Sword dex just before Scarlet/Violet came out, and…

As with any junk food, even a sh*tty cake is still cake, and some will enjoy it (including me). I completed my dex in Violet, had a great time, and continue to do raids whenever there is a new mon to catch.

Whewwwww, I see nothing but boring, scheduled sex with alerts with these two. He just wants to soak in his moment, and she wants to use him to climb a social latter that is normally afforded to halfway interesting public figures.

Claire/Grimes, what ARE those curtains!? Clearly, the world’s (second) richest baby daddy cannot buy taste.

Wow, at least Nintendo/TPC still lets us play the beta that is Pokemon Scarlet/Violet while they complete the game in the form of DLC. 

Those Dark Souls “git gud” folks are the dark center of the “core gamer” market.

THIS! These are the same crazers who complain at the top of their lungs about the EXP share function, and demand a toggle switch for it, to no avail.

The commentariat troll farm is working overtime here in the Root’s comments and has been for some time. Why all the attacks at article authors? Why the most based takes on anything that gets written? I’m not sure if it is Trumpkins, DeSantis nutjobs, or Russian trolls anymore, but color me unamused that they are no…

It does not take a rocket scientist to connect the dots between Senator Cantwell’s misinformed and disingenuous remarks, to Microsoft helping keep her in office for a political eon. Love Cantwell (and Senator Murray!), and I think Microsoft does some things well, but I would prefer she not even touch this hot potato.

Porsche was a very good client to me back when I was a wee little creative director. If you even have half an ounce of creativity, they’ll love you, and they are just wonderfully generous with sharing their heritage, assets, and energy for any project. Submit an application!

Can’t they just charge $59 for a mobile game with no ads/gacha component? Hell, if they made it actually good, people might pay more. I’d like the gacha industry to fail hard, because I am still bitter about the loss of my precious Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Return to making games and pricing them for what they ARE,…

I’d gather that because most DEI handbooks do not even wade into exonyms, that the term Whoopi fumbled with is not even included. Something tells me that The View’s viewers were not the ones up in arms over her usage of the term. 

“and many felt that train came off the rails starting with 2001’s Final Fantasy X”

And here I was, devastated that Legendary was cancelled by HBO. Law brings energy, history, and vision together to create entire worlds for those he styles, and I really hope that this blows over, that he is able to heal, and that he will share his gifts with us in other ways.
