The Xenoblade one is actually a pretty solid design. 

I was in as soon as I saw the title, but my hype gets more and more palpable as we see more footage. Like a lot of folks that are interested in this property, I grew up playing Cyberpunk 2013, then 2020, then Cybergenerations. I’m trying to avoid ANY spoilers so I haven’t actually watched the video, but I hope they…

Wanted to come and say something like this but you said it perfectly. We don’t really need dozens of thinkpieces on every tweet a politician makes in the wake of someone’s death. You know if she’d made a tweet saying “John McCain was a warmonger. Good Riddance!” She’d be getting it just as bad (if not worse) because…

Pretty sure he made quite a bit more than his salary just on YouTube ad revenue, so he’s gonna be fine. 

You know, normally I hate nitpicking, but this is actually a good point and a pretty solid callout. 

If Ninja was a woman and said she was uncomfortable streaming with men, would this article still be seen as appropriate?

I think part of why I don’t grok misogyny is it would seem like just from a purely selfish business-person standpoint...why hire people only to marginalize their ideas and not put them to use? I mean if we want to take the most cynical look at it we can, I would think one’s greed would outweigh one’s misogyny...but…

Oh great point, I was thinking about the current lineup totally forgot you can get the older models for a steal and still play all the same games.

Ds you ever pause and think maybe it's not the fandom that's wrong on this? Maybe...just maybe...people like their DSes?? 

Oof. Lots of issues here - install base as others have mentioned. Development cycles are another. Also not everyone can afford to run out and spend $299 on a new Switch, but with an entry price of $149 (regularly on sale for $129) the 2ds XL makes sense for a broader base of customers. Also lastly...maybe they just…

Well I mean, to be fair Varian was a clear “anti-hero” for the Alliance, but justifiably so. I think part of the storyline is that Sylvanas is just....tired. She didn’t ask to be turned into the Banshee queen, she didn’t ask to lead the Horde, she didn’t ask to be the target of Varian’s animosity, she didn’t ask for…

Blizzard is 100% setting up the Death of Sylvanas. They’re making her the clear villain and diminishing sympathy for her, so she can have a Heel-Face Turn, redeem herself in the end, and die as at least an anti-hero. 

Or it could be that your tastes are too elitiest and refined for your own good and you’re missing out on some enjoyable experiences.

Interesting...I'm hearing nothing but good things about Octopath Traveller and it sold quite well for a Switch exclusive. 

She doesn't want to play Pokemon Quest in the meantime? I mean it's free for the most part. 

Psssst you can take it with you.

The changes I would make -

Oh crap I didn’t realize someone beat me to this - made that same comment a few posts above. I mean anyone who has problems with queer representation literally just can’t play Borderlands 2...the first few quests you get come from Mad Moxxi who’s picture they likely paste over the definition of pansexual.

It’s weird that Borderlands 2 is still one of the most subversive representations of queer acceptance - I don’t think most casual gamers even picked up on the fact that there are numerous characters in the game that are in same-sex relationships and it’s so commonplace that EVEN THE MAIN ANTAGONIST takes it for…

I don’t think you’re grasping the point of representing under-represented or mis-represented groups with a celebratory month or banner or Apple Watch band or banner or company logo.
