I find a thing happening in gaming a lot now a days. In this article you called out Bayonetta 3... I read the reviews and everything, heard some talk about performance issues / bad graphics. But it’s sort of like everyone just repeats and echoes one tweet they read now a days.

“At times Arceus gives off the vibe of a Nintendo 64 game in HD.”

It’s almost like buying a company on a whim with zero forethought or plan is a bad idea.

Honestly I would rather pay the same $30 I paid for Overwatch 1 and have loot boxes back. Its such a sad thing to say.

I sense you’re a fellow old person (i.e., ~30-40) and thus appreciate your old person review. These are the kind of takes I like.

Who is going to do the educating? Many American schools can’t even be trusted to teach their own nation’s history properly - they’re never going to handle Asian religious iconography.

Stephen Totilo hired me! And to answer your other question (which would have been answered with a little more reading):

I won’t name him, but one of the people leading the harassment campaign was banned a few years ago from Magic the Gathering after, among other things, targeting a prominent cosplayer and causing her to leave the community (she has since returned, to much rejoicing).

This. The problem with Last of Us 2 is it seems the developers want you to control Ellie but forces you to make decisions you don’t want to make and wouldn’t make throughout the game. They should have given the player the option on some of the scenes near the end of the game. Let the player give up on the revenge if…

eeeeh...I feel like we’ve done this dance so many times that it’s near automatic.

“ooooh, this might be time when Nintendo is in trou—oh, nah they’re fine.”

NIntendo has spent the better part of the decade finding itself as the “second console” for most gamers. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that most people…

Damn. To be fair, it looks pretty janky on PS4 as well. In general, this game was pretty overrated as much as I wanted to love it. Just seemed like a lot of people really wanted to give the middle finger to Bethesda and the hope for a spiritual successor to New Vegas kinda blinded them. I was in that camp until I got…

When I watched the Zorii-Poe relationship play out I just thought, “Oh, okay Poe’s bi.”

Jjust caught a poison/electric type I thought looked cool. Decided to use it for my Electeic slot feed it 70 candies boom level 45 fully evolved.  Not a single waisted hour.

Yesterday, I told my daughter there were over 400 pokémons to catch. She was amazed. That’s all I really wanted from this game. I really like the QoL features that respect my time as a grown-ass adult also! Can’t say I relate to the baby-made shitstorm at all.

There is, but you dont have to be forced to play through the whole campaign to unlock all abilities in order to play in crucible if thats all you care about.

This sounds amazing! Imagine, the AI becoming self aware within the “game” and deciding that all human controlled entities are a threat to its existence. I can’t wait to read more about this. 

Because it’s not just about the image, but the artist’s skill. Crediting the artist can lead to opportunities. An editor or publisher might notice the work and might want to hire the artist to illustrate a chapter book and that opens up a new door for them.

There’s a massive difference in creating fan art and asking to get credit for your interpretation of that fan art and some rich chode reposting art and FLAT OUT REFUSING to credit the artist especially when he literally has to pay a settlement from doing the same thing to another person.

Most artists in the industry of…

I chalk up the lack of uniformity across publications to the early days of the iPad when apps weren’t optimized for the larger screen. With each new issue (of the magazines I read) I’m seeing more of them adopt and adapt their publication to Apple’s UI guidelines making the experience just as easy as reading a news…

This I don’t understand. I don’t know how we got to this discussion of “Anyone can have the force, you don’t have to come from a chosen family.” Didn’t pretty much EVERY Jedi come from nowhere? Aren’t Jedi forbidden from having children? Wasn’t that a large part of the narrative of why Anakin was in conflict with the…
