It could be the same, in which case I would be fine with them. I’m fine with some “gatcha” type mechanics in mobile games specifically because they work just like blind boxes. You buy a ‘roll’ or set of ‘rolls’ on a roll for Characters/Heroes/Whatever, and maybe you get a bunch of mundane ones, or maybe you get the…

‘Blind Boxes’ are popular amongst kids and collectors. Baseball cards, TCGs, collectable anime figurines, and the like are all pretty popular among adult collectors.

The real difference is that such blind boxes are always a set of generally-equal-items. Different cards or figurines may carry a different value in trade…

Medicare for All, and a great deal of new policy is important.

However, it is boldy obvious to anyone who does even the smallest amount of research outside of the Conservative Propaganda “News” machine, that Trump has at least obstructed justice. And most recently, he’s said, on camera, in an interview, that he would ag…

Ehh, from all the reports I’ve heard, it sounds like Avengers is minimally co-op, while Ultimate Alliance 3 is, like the UA games before it, all about team play. And unless I’ve missed it, we don’t know how many people the Avengers game will support.

From what we know right now, I’d say UA3 will be the “Marvel team-up…

An isometric, multiplayer brawler and a 3rd person, single-player action game? With vastly different visual styles? One clearly based on the broader Marvel Comics, and the other based seemingly on the cinematic/MCU Avengers?

How are these at all the “same basic concept” outside of “video game with Marvel characters in…

Thank you! It bugged the hell out of me that the article kept saying the characters were in their “exact” MCU costumes. Like, I can kind of understand with Iron Man, who’s had so many armors that mostly look fairly similar, or Black Widow, who’s had a few costumes that were basically just ‘black catsuit’, but that…

They had the Windows logo on there, and their site confirms it’ll be on both Xbox and PC.

A current porn star, who was formerly in voice acting, was talking about how sexually abusive and exploitative the VA industry is, while the porn industry was actually better about it. Another porn star, who has not been a VA, said that she hadn’t encountered said abuse as a porn star.

Or to be as clear as possible,…

I think something kind of like the Mega Man Battle Network games could work. A battle grid where you can try to avoid attacks, and all attacks have an animation time and maybe a ‘cooldown’. ‘Rounds’ play out in real time, then there is a pause where you can choose to ready items/pokeballs or switch out your pokemon.

Any military sim you’re playing right now should have, theoretically, gone through the process of getting approval from the rights holders for basically any branded item. So AM winning would change a whopping nothing.

This is why a lot games, outside of sims, don’t use the specific real world brandings. You often have…

I doubt they disqualified the winner in order to save money. The article even sights a perfectly reasonable reason- Uniqlo wanted exclusive rights to the design.

However, I’m almost certain that the decision to simply withhold the Grand Prize, rather than awarding it to another contestant, is a cost-cutting move. That…

Live in NYC, while a number of places do have their own drivers, like every Chinese place, a hell of a lot of the small places don’t. Heck I’ve seen a couple places I order from drop their own online ordering system for services like Seamless.

If a place gets a lot of delivery traffic on their own, and therefore can…

This is actually right?

My personal opinion is that almost all guns should just be banned, period. The exception being slow-fire weapons, like bolt action [hunting] rifles and break action shotguns.

Because really those are all you need. Rifles and shotguns are all you need for hunting, and shotguns are really the best…

How could those kill the GND for you? Much as I am personally a proponent of UBI, that wasn’t in the GND. And the ‘cow farts’ thing wasn’t either, that was only mentioned as part of a joke uploaded online by one of AOC’s staff. So neither of those were/are a part of the GND legislation that was proposed.

The GND…

The problem is that people see Christianity as a “get out of hell free” card. All they have to do is praise Jesus and ask for forgiveness and it’s like all that sinning and hating never happened! Free ticket to ‘The Good Afterlife’ and no chance of eternal consequences suffering.

So there’s basically a built-in safety…

Yeah my money is on maybe a handful of people actually doing this. Most just sharing because “wow that’s stupid” and/or faking it for “the lols”.

Though it’s kind of funny that for this generation the hoax news BS is always about attempting a Darwin Award. When I was a teen the crazy things the news claimed were…

I had to scroll way too far to find the correct take on this story. Safe bet that maybe a whole dozen people have actually taken part in this “social media challenge,” like all the others.

While I personally agree, I’m also aware that most of the world doesn’t have the historical baggage of “blackface” that the US does. So while I’d expect anyone with an agent or PR team to know better, I can understand some, say, Asian or Eastern European streamer doing this by accident.

Basically, blackface is bad, but…

When someone is so blatantly racist that they’re yelling “that white nationalist isn’t white enough to be a white nationalist!” Yet somehow don’t realize they’re outing their own prejudices.

Also I guess Hitler couldn’t possibly have actually believed in all that “aryan” supremacy stuff, since he didn’t fit his own…
