I found that this method was quite fun, as it encouraged me and my friends to use characters we wouldn’t have otherwise. I learned I like Dr. Mario! I never touched him on the 3ds version. The slow unlock method let me sample the characters and ultimately have more fun with the game, rather than going straight to…

Xenoblade Chronicles and Bravely Default. Bounced off of both in about 2 hours.

So Solange is just fanservice the character then?

You’re right, kids will always act out. I guess the situation we are in is a perfect storm of kids being kids and having a medium with which they can act out without consequence.

God forbid you have the empathy to understand that things that don’t upset you might upset others due to some unfortunate aspect and to respect that fact.

It IS stupid people being stupid, but thinking that it won’t or can’t change is a bit ignorant. We accomplish social change all the time - it just takes a while.

I love how most of the people that call the rest of us snowflakes for examining topics like this are actually the ones getting all bent out of shape because we found a flaw in their precious video game. Otherwise, why would they take the time to write a scathing comment about how this is all “manufactured outrage” and…

the fourth and third-to-last paragraphs are pretty great at summarizing the issue. Most of the commenters are reading this as specifically targeting Souls, but I see it more as an examination of one facet of a much larger systemic issue. I think that the fact that these messages exist (and that the people who made…

I’d like to expound on this a bit:

Horizon’s story was actually pretty dang good. They had a good hook and (at least I felt) a satisfying finish. I also loved the storytelling through recordings.

I’m going to join the ranks and echo this sentiment. I played the game, loved exploring the world, and then when I was done, I went and beat it. According to the completion screen post-ending, I’ve only done about 26% of the game, but it still feels like a whole experience. The best part for me is that when I want to…

At least it would be an island full of sane people with good taste.

Ain’t this the truth.

Sarcasm doesn’t translate well on the internet.

He seems like a well-adjusted, reasonable person.

Fucking this. Smoking killed my mother. Anything we can do to eradicate them from the present can only benefit society.

It is arguably harder than Dark Souls on Proud/Critical mode. Later bosses become unbearably difficult.

because being mindful of how others might feel is haaaaaaaaaaard.

Testing on monsters is only as reliable as the damage range is small. Otherwise, you have a real chance of numbers overlapping and you getting the impression that your new sword may not be as good as your old one.

I sit somewhere halfway. I don’t mind the fiddling, but I ain’t got time for it. My gaming time is precious, and if I spend it trying to get the game to work I come out in a worse mood than I went in.
