And that’s the big disconnect here I think. It is surprising for Kotaku to give Buzzfeed benefit of the doubt for being correct, as most of us at home wouldn’t. At the same time, when I read the article and saw Buzzfeed credited on the story, as a reader it sent up a couple flags for me so when they retracted and…

They cited Buzzfeed as the source. When you cite someone, the burden of proof falls upon said source. The best you can do in a situation where your source misinformed you is apologize, retract and correct the information, then try not to depend on the source so heavily in the future. If it was totally true and Kotaku d…

Huh. Been playing daily since launch. No problems. I haven’t needed to reboot mine and never had a joycon connection problem, either. Guess I’m just a lucky outlier. I literally feel bad for people having problems with this system; it’s one of my faves of all time.

I was pondering this earlier today while playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The game will most likely receive a few bug fixes and play optimization patches as time goes on, but its one-and-done “All DLC Included!” tag appears (to me, at least) as an indicator that the game is “complete” as it is. Not to say it’s an…

And THIS is the value of fan projects. Everyone always asks why you would work using someone else’s materials, and this is a great example: a new project can use them as placeholders to create something inspired by the original, but also unique in its own right.

The right move for EA: Sell a DLC called “Realism Patch”. All characters are swapped for generic males, no HUD, occasionally your character dies of dysentery for what appears to be no reason, deaths are permanently tied to your account, and if you try to log in to multi after that there’s just a black screen because…

Happened upon this happy lil’ friend a couple weeks ago at a local used game store. Easily the best tetris game in existence, and it’s going to take a miracle to change that.

I know that grind. I’m an author by day, Blackjack dealer by night. It’s rough XD Hope to eventually hear from you, either personally or an update on your project :) Also, if you ever do open commissions, you should hit me up. I need some spritework for some 4koma-type comics I want to do while my artist does the…

Following. If you ever want to take a risk on a free-until-we-make-it author/planner/storyteller, look me up. I’d love to contribute.

Do you have a Twitter or Facebook for it? I’d love to see your work. Mega-huge fan of sprite work and sprite-based games.

I almost think there should be an intermediary, a sort of project consultant that can look at what you have and tell you what you need before you put it out into the aether. And definitely a kickstarter-esque site that doesn’t allow people with professional experience, to allow more ACTUAL amateurs their own path to…

My project (which is still in production, despite having no fundage) is a manga project called PageTurner. It’s a shonen manga series that I’m creating with the goals of representation and understanding for everyone across the board. I know it’s not exactly a unique idea in the world, especially not right now, but we…

It’s a real shame, considering the insane amount of actual talented, motivated people that really want to make something great and can’t even get the exposure because they don’t lie or use hyperbole. As one of the myriad people that had a kickstarter up that basically went unnoticed, this hurts two-fold.

Ugh. What I wouldn’t give to be able to chat with her or a part of her team. They changed my life in deeper, more profound ways than they’ll ever know.

Taking extra time to improve the quality of something they’re not making money on is the kind of action triple A companies need to take to show us it’s not ALL about the money. How long has it been since someone’s done something like this just for the integrity of their work? Everything about this RE has excited me…

So glad to see this happen. Obviously Nintendo teamed up with the Japanese government to create a new, more manageable scalping market aimed at the diet of the average amiibo scalper. They’ll be so busy buying and reselling potato chips to sustain their lives that an estimated 7 amiibo may make it to the primary…

The guy’s stuff sounds incredible, but I’m always annoyed that in every song he does, the parts that sound least natural (in this case, the percussive “tick-a-tick, tick-a-ahh!” sound) never have a video block showing him do it, so my disbelief is never curbed. I think it’s computer-assisted and yes it would matter…

Everyone slams Sonic ‘06, but the hedgehog’s first foray into anti-capitalism has many lessons we continue to learn each and every day. I’ll never forget when Knuckles explained the bourgeoisie to Tails, and how powerful his attempted suicidal response was. I’ll forgo the spoilers and just recommend everyone buy this…

How can you all enjoy this? The empire is RAISING CHILD SOLDIERS. Man, I can’t wait until the harvest comes in so I can leave my uncle’s farm and join the resistance.

I don’t necessarily like the fact that trans-positive meant they had to be male-oppressive, but it is an interesting theory. However even if it was due to being transpositive, upon “realizing” Link fell into the category, wouldn’t allowing him to wear what he wanted be the next logical step? Being transpositive also…
