He was likely trying to cater to the moral panic that briefly sprung up when Pokemon was still fairly young, but was becoming part of poplar culture. Well that and money. It’s usually always about money tho.

Yeah, I just got it, sorry for being such a huge idiot. I thought “one” should be put in.

The team name “Nice One Good Round,” spelled out, is a banal phrase one could hear or see during end-of-match chat. However when you make the name an acronym and substitute the number “1” for “one” you get a nasty racial slur.

Technically speaking, yes, since all anime are cartoons, but as far as what we think of anime, it is indeed an anime. It was created before most of the character design standards we recognize as anime ever existed. It’s also one of the most popular shows in Japan, more than even stuff like One Piece. 

Length? Yes. Content? It’s closer to Leave it to Beaver. 

I mean they look basic? We could AVOID this if Good Smile Company made the figs but no, SE has their own company for this.

You’d think Square Enix could afford to have good figurines made... I still have my terrible Bravely Default figurine from the special edition... look at this monstrosity!

That said, this scene does bug me on another level: Persona characters are what, high school age? And the two older men here are absolutely abusing a power dynamic to sexually assault the poor kid. Maybe I’m missing some larger context here, but it sure reads as a sketchy situation in isolation. Yikes!

Sir, this is an Arby’s.

I was about to say “You’re telling me I have to pay $90 to get 600 Pokemon, when I could pay $35 for all of them last gen?”

200 more Pokemon being added in a $30 expansion pass.

They took them out, to resell them to us.

What a time to be alive.

Yeah, I really wanted him as The Bear Jew. Eli Roth’s performance in that role just bothers me. Cabin Fever is pretty much the only thing Roth has done that I’ve enjoyed (well, the “Thanksgiving” trailer is pretty good).

Cabin Fever was pretty fun

Its weird how F went from meme, to ironic serious, to unironic, to this weird semi ironic meme which is sometimes serious depending on the situation.

They they keep cracking down on knock off everything, then Guardians of Intellectual Properties it is. Remember now, China leadership eats up positive press, and will act on it. If you constantly and overly praise them for doing something specific, they’ll keep doing it.

Now that you mention college tuition and their desire for young people to study, wouldn’t it make sense for the junior competitors to receive their prize money in the form of scholarship money?

I want this game badly. As somebody who is about to celebrate 19 years with my wife (it’s our 50/50 anniversary - 19 y.o. when we met, 19 years together; from here on we’ll have been a couple longer than we were apart) I have long wished more fiction and games would focus on lasting, dedicated relationships rather…

Spanish is a gendered language, you cant just change it just because it works in english.

Its strange, as a Latina woman myself, I’ve never heard ANYONE in my family use the term Latinx. Is this honestly a big concern or just box-checking?
