I’m not convinced a game 8 years into development should even be allowed to claim they’re in “early access.” 

I think arguably, the game wants you to play it, but to do what you want with your time. And the meaning of the game is the time. Mobile games lock stuff behind time gates to get you to dump real money into the game that otherwise doesn’t need the time limits.

How can we be more like you 

The 20$ a year cloud save subscription to replace something every other piece of technology can do will be wonderful I’m sure

I wish I could recommend this and Blue Dragon to friends but there’s no way to play them outside X360 :(

Yeah it helps when you go into Lego art with an already successful career and money, and can take advantage of things you got from a job at Lego. He’s done some incredible art work but there’s no doubt he went in a bit more well equipped.

Given the kind of player the games attract, this kind of model probably makes sense, especially if it would mean even better content support from paradox. The players already essentially are paying a subscription if they want to keep using the newest updated version and dlc.

I didn’t have a 3DS and couldn’t have bought Bank or any of the related games. I do have a Switch and can buy these services, but don’t really want to. It’s kinda annoying that you presume Pokemon fans are a continuous linear progression and that everyone involved has been a part of every decision or product. 

That doesn’t make it suddenly not a cost

You’ll still have to pay for Nintendo online, and possibly also a subscription for Home.

Ah, that’s why there’s middling post-game. Nintendo finally learned that they can just cut content and re-sell it.

Have fun paying 500$ for the game and all its expansion content 

I’m not a big fan of other docs who minimize healthcare risks. You can be honest about risks and percentages without scaring patients at the same time. 

More options are not bad

The point, which is addressed several times in the article, is that there is no highly effective and reversible male BC option. Condoms have a high efficacy but mostly when combined with female BC options, and vasectomies are not reversible, usually, and not easily. The other point is that all the medical…

Me, enjoying Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds, and following the development of a game called Outworlder: Oh no

I get your point, but the cultural concepts behind otakus aren’t confined to or required to include underage sexualization.

Maybe it’s like how professional sports leagues have it in their power to outright ban players, but have somewhat less control over who’s administrating or even owning specific teams. I’m sure the league could block Opal’s decisions but it may also be the kind of thing where she also gives no hecks about that and they…

The only issue I have with the more sensible “adults actually handle things” is that then you’ve missed the entire backstorying that sets up things that are happening. Without spoiling (although you’ve obviously played it) when I got to the big bad legendary fight I was like “yeah obviously this was gonna happen but I…

It would have been neat if you could take actual sponsorships, have logos on your jersey, and customize your stuff the more important you got. Maybe after enough gym badges you’d be permitted to deviate from the uniform restrictions. Maybe you could gain certain benefits from accepting sponsorships like discounts on…
