What? The audio was licensed for commercial use, so a company used it commercially.

When they added a talking crab with a Jamaican accent, no one said, “hey, this fantasy crab should have a Scandinavian accent, it’s not a Caribbean fairy tale.”

Yeah, one thing that’s not mentioned is that the GBA remakes of SNES games sometimes used different sound effects- like GBA Yoshi’s Island uses his voice clips and sound effects from Yoshi’s Story, instead of the synthesized sounds he makes in the SNES original. It gives it a pretty different mood / changes Yoshi’s…

I would like to respectfully submit “Shu Mai” as an extremely dumb Star Wars name. Mon Calamari is also bad.

You’ve misunderstood- they’re saying it’s for “Disney adults”

However, this is the Hero of Time. If he could survive Termina in Majora’s Mask, I’m confident he’ll body the King of the Gerudo.

The answer is we don’t do anything and just barrel towards whatever the consequences may be unprepared.
If it were just artists losing their jobs (I am an artist for a living myself), then I would compare it to like all of the horseshoe makers, stable hands, horse poop cleaners, grooms, carriage drivers, etc. who lost…

Alright, hear me out: we can start similar, the Mario brothers are real plumbers in New York, they get sucked into a parallel dimension to rescue the princess, all that. But, you can’t just do things by the numbers, you have to mix it up a little. Just having the world be made up of disconnected floating blocks with…

A warm, vibrating, flexible ‘elastic member’ sounds like a good time to me.

And he was upfront about it! The article’s making it out like he went to the SMB guys and said “look, you’re gonna make Donkey Kong sound like me or I walk,” but it’s more like him saying “Look, any character I voice is just gonna sound like Seth Rogan, I have a pretty distinctive voice. Are you guys ok with that if…

Depositing your money in a bank and expecting to be able to withdraw it isn’t the same as taking out a loan. They’re not bailing out the investors or the people running the bank at all, just the people and companies who had deposits.

They seem kind of into artificial scarcity, I don’t know why on Earth they stopped selling the “Super Mario 3D Allstars” pack with 64, Sunshine and Galaxy for Switch even on the eshop. Hope they wouldn’t do the same for Metroid but you never know.

I don’t know if that’s true across the board. Among adult gamers, definitely, but kids and their parents will probably keep buying Switches. Half the price too.

That’s a different situation- out of print ≠ out of copyright. 

As shitty and toxic as the tech industry can be, I feel like its casual lack of dress codes is a GREAT thing. I don’t really see a reason to make everyone rent a tux to pretend like they don’t wear comfortable clothes every day.

>”Given the patch is only 1GB, it can’t be an enormous number.”

“Sonic controls like shit, until you get him going, at which point he feels snappy and the game’s assists kick in, helping you turn better or platform between objects easily. But then you start walking around again and he feels clunky and the game sometimes seemed confused about which direction I was going and when to…

Same experience for me a little earlier- I bought a boxed copy of Portal, opened it and it was just a code that required Steam.

I don’t know if it’s the main reason, but if the person whose tweet got linked deletes it because they don’t appreciate the extra traffic, then suddenly the embed is useless. Also if text in a photo is transcribed it’s searchable on the site and by search engine, shows up in reader mode on mobile, can be read by…

The increase could be because they just launched a new character. Maybe a lot of people did stop playing, but more lapsed players came back because there was new content.
