There’s a horse in the hospital!

Most of the games I replay are old and nostalgic, but I think the replayability argument may make more sense for Nintendo because so many of their games have local multiplayer. Your Mario Parties and Karts and New Super Mario Bros are definitely the types of things I’ll bust out with guests even if they’re long in the…

I’ve always heard the phrase “you can have it cheap, fast or good; or you can be bombarded with random strangers telling you you can have it cheap, fast or good”.

He’s just a Prince Kong at this point.

It’s likely, but I definitely don’t see it as one where a reboot is a necessity. It might even be an impediment. The advantage of Star wars is that it’s remit is basically “space opera +- Kurosawa”. It’s a broad tapestry to pull from, and one not relegated to a specific group of characters, setting, or time.

I don’t get this argument. If she hadn’t become an actress, she’d still have a headstart on pursuing education for practically any career she wanted thanks to the wealth and influence of her family.

The way she's threatening to disappear herself is probably due cause to file a restraining order against herself.

Purely anecdotal here, but I’m significantly more likely to buy an indie game I played in game pass than a AAA one. I'm some instances, I've even just bought the DLC for GP games I don't outright own. I almost never do that for big budget games.

The school is called the Academy For Innovative Education, and it’s in Florida. I suspect that’s just the tip of the weirdness iceberg.

The absence of Infomercials on this list disgusts me.

Definitely worth noting Blizzard All-Stars, which tried to do the IP-flex thing with it's own stable of characters. Not sure how successful that was tho.

I’m trying to think about what characters exist in the ActiBlizz stable that have legacy worth celebrating (and could reasonably fit into a smash-ste game), and there are definitely a few obvious ones. Kerrigan from SC, and you could get some decent mileage out of both Warcraft and Diablo. Beyond that, idk. The Lost…

So uh, I think you’re missing the point by conflating mediocrity with box office appeal.

I like to imagine he had one of those old Garfield phones installed right beside the toilet.

If it had been drafted by a human who literally misspelled the game name in the apology letter, then you could hold them accountable for their failure.

Considering the AI misspelled the name of the very game they were apologizing for, I'd say the context does matter some. That should be something that would get caught if they have even the slightest bit of human oversight to their application of AI.

Username checks out

Putting aside the inconsistent quality of these renders, I find this notion that video games should strive for hyper-realism as backwards as the idea of cryptocurrency games.

Not as many lines as Snake, but I’m sure it was sizeable. She played a critical role in the story and was also part of the "radio team". In that capacity, she delivered a significant amount of story exposition as well as a number of optional conversations you can get by radioing her throughout the game.

I guess the idea is that if they had ties to Epstein decades later, that would create a chain of evidence linking them to sex trafficking?
