Because that gets in the way of the game. If you’re playing a fast action game and you want to mute someone, you need to be taken out of the action to do so.

Nintendo isn’t, but if you were dead set on using your voice you can do through 3rd party apps. You make it sound like Nintendo are going to be stood over you with a gun forcing you to do as they bid.

The bandwidth argument makes zero sense. You’re likely to use less bandwidth, actually, since Skype is designed solely for communication and is updated frequently (aka it’s optimised as fuck) compared to something Nintendo would put out for their smaller userbase. In fact most services just license Skype tech. And…

Come to think of it, voice chat via your Nintendo ID (or whatever they call it) buddies should be allowed. At that point it’s just saving people having to connect over Skype or whatever voice chat app they’re using.

I hear ya, it’s certainly babies getting upset by this news.

It’s not psychology when its this simple.

And yet you continue it.

Fine by me. I mute the microphone on PS4 games I play, a carry over from playing the 360 online last gen. Every time I do unmute the mic I’m reminded of that toxic behaviour. It’s horrible. So yeah this is okay by me.

Clarity isn’t your strong point is it?

The feeling of reward can be an addiction. Look at exercise addicts.

Sounds like the latter yeah.

I started making it with my partner about 20 years ago and it took about 5 years to get it done. But things were different then. Now I dunno, to develop an engine you’re looking at a crazy high cost. That’s why people these days go with UDK, Unity, etc. Even I just use Unity because it’s easier to get the product out.

With additional attempts to confuse or use memes. All very interesting.

It does. My grandfather had a work ethic of “working whilst the suns up, drinking when its down”. When he retired at 60 he started decorating houses for family members, basically staying over in spare rooms or on a couch and refining them out fixing any little problems he could find.

Don't be so upset. The US is fucked. China needs to invade them, liberate them as it were.

Remember that EA shooter, the name escapes me, the one that was basically someone handing an EA boss a design doc with "COPY TF2" in size 72 Comic Sans. I wonder how that games doing these days.

I don't know why either. I know jack shit about Japanese culture but it sounds like hostess bars are a bit creepy. Selling faux interest, it's prostitution without the sex.

You doesn’t specifically mean you, but those who fits the profile of being too much in love with specific brands - aka a fanboy.

There you go again, that typical hitting someone then complaining when they tell you to stop.

Weird, I wonder what happened then. I reported you for being racist I think it was and an admin emailed back saying you’ll be banned. Guess it wasn’t permanent.
