When “the man” is Nintendo, I don’t feel too bad about supporting the little guy over them.

I personally don’t get it either, but Nintendo’s got a long history of being rather ruthless in numerous aspects that’s kind of papered over by their family friendly image, so it doesn’t necessarily surprise me. They’re kind of the Disney of video games.

Ahh, your friend is a hardcore loyalist. Alright.

I don’t really think they are the exceptions, though. Of the main series, the only irredeemable ones are Shadow and Sonic ‘06 (with Sonic ‘06 having been so god awful it single handedly destroyed the series reputation). The rest are at LEAST decent, not even counting the portable entries, which were always well…

“I know somone who hates Playstation because “it was a betrayal and hurt Nintendo for decades!””

Yeah, I don’t really get it either. I’m not going to be a dick and attack people as “hipster douches” or whatever, because that’s just straight up unnecessary, but I don’t get what this article is on about. There is an argument to be made about cleaning things up too much in some older work - I think it was the…

Yeah, that’s not how it works. “Being with someone” does not define your sexuality. You’re not nothing if you’ve never dated someone. If he’s sexually attracted to both genders/gets a reaction from both/whatever, he’s not straight. That’s all there is to it. It has nothing to do with people you don’t like and the dumb…

Ah, I didn’t know he’d stopped entirely. The last I’d known, he was still doing live streams. But I knew he’d stopped the video reviews. I think I heard he’d done a Rebruary at one point, but other than the last one I know or had seen was the Commodore 64 Big Trouble in Little China game.

He did stuff for a good long while after that entire fiasco, but he finally dropped off the face of the Earth about two years ago. Well, not entirely. From what I gather, he still does game livestreams which he archives. But the produced, acted, directed video reviews are dead. He’s never really addressed it, never…

Taste is of course subjective, but I think it comes down to the fact that Linkin Park probably has a lot more material widely regarded as mediocre to bad than good, at this point. I did like them well enough way back when, but they kept pumping out album after album that didn’t seem to have anything that sounded good…

Reality checks don’t go well with this fandom in general. Each one, from 2D purists to comic loyalists to the people still clamoring for a third Adventure, all think they know what would make Sonic great or relevant again or is best about Sonic. The fan game community’s gotten particularly bad about it, especially now…

Yeah, dude, there is little chance they’re bringing that game over here. They passed on Investigations 2 as it was because they didn’t feel the return would be more than the cost of localizing (which always suggested to me that Investigations 1 didn’t do so hot). That’s with a game using recognizable characters people…

I’m not holding my breath and haven’t been since as far back as its announcement. As far as spin-offs go, it’s got even less of a shot than Investigations 2 did, due to its time period and aesthetic. They worry enough about how to translate the mainline games, given cultural jokes and puns, as it is. Plus, it always…

Man, I guess we’re really doing this, either because we didn’t learn our lesson from Inoki vs Ali or because it was so long ago everybody forgot.

Twitter’s been hard to deal with for a while, but it got unbearable in the last year. Every day, everyone was upset and depressed over something new, something ugly, and since everybody was talking about it, you couldn’t escape it. It culminated in the aftermath of The Great Mistake back in November, at which point I…

Yeah, I actually had it pointed out to me just the other day that the R’s being toothless and keeping their mouths shut is probably what we want. If they get too lippy, their base might be convinced that Trump is getting screwed by both sides, then when it’s time for elections, people might run against them on their…

You can easily get good at dodging the teleport, if you pay attention during a match or two. I watched some streams and videos of matches during the beta and plenty of people got the hang of juking.

This is not a wrong take. The original Teen Titans show is a mess on multiple levels. Narratively, artistically (that art style kills me) and even with common sense. I could go on for an hour about how dumb the Terra adaption was and how The End trilogy literally ends when Raven realizes they’re almost out of runtime,…

Unfortunately the death penalty doesn’t solve those issues. With the almost endless appeals, it costs far more to use the death penalty than to imprison a murderer for life. It’s not even remotely worth it, except for people who think “eye for an eye” or just killing people is a valid solution.
