There’s a lot more than just Clefable and Granbull, in the first video virtually every pokemon is a lightly edited version of an existing one (at 24:18 there’s also just a copy paste image of a Drifblim). And about 3 minutes into the other video there’s a list with an unedited version of a menagerie of legendaries…

Canceling couch co-op feels like they’re basically giving up on campaign. they got their $60 from some people, the rest played it on GamePass. Now they focus on getting people to buy vastly overpriced skins in the MP. I’m really wondering if we’ll ever see campaign story DLC now. It won’t make them any money unless…

She uses her body to make money hand over fist and invests it in business ventures that will outlive her youth and allow her to retire young, all without having to touch even a single simp.

i know :) i was saying “um” about how randomly crass and reductive the line was lol. it sounded to me like an unwarranted dismissal of michelangelo on the basis that.... sometimes his interpretation of women’s bodies looks like whatever we arbitrarily define as “masculine” ?? what???

but i pointed it out because to me,…

“I mean that as a compliment—all of Michelangelo’s women look like men with tits stuck on them.” Um, what?”

If this was £20, ironed out the bugs, and didn’t have a group of main characters that come across as a bunch of rejected ideas of the original cast I’d probably get it.

It’s arguably the only English language RPG worth playing on the N64, although I realize that’s damning with faint praise, since there’s only like five of them, even if you stretch the definition as much as possible. I love OB64 over the original, too, which was maddening in its complexity at times. (“Okay, all I have…

I’m really hoping the TO remaster does well enough that Square finally gets around to bringing back Ogre Battle. I’d love a remake with the care that they put into LUCT. 

The developer has said as much on some reddit posts!

While I liked the game, it still failed to scratch the itch that Ogre Battle has left behind. If ever there was a need for a remaster...

Yeah, Ethan needs to do his homework. This is clearly a mashup of Ogre Battle and FE. 

Glad all the commentators mentioned Ogre Battle because the article certaintly didn't. Exciting!

Just finished this game, and it was great. Definitely gave me the old school vibes without most of the annoying old school clunkiness. I recommend playing on hard mode (I think it’s called warlord?) for a balanced playthrough. I felt like I didn’t have to think at all for the first few hours of normal before I started…

Exactly! I don’t see any contradiction or hypocrisy in one guy saying it’s not the microtransactapocalypse and someone from the same publication saying otherwise. Heck, this article doesn’t even take the opposing tack, it’s just searching for a smaller violin to play.

So much of this. Ty for speaking up. So tired of white folks being triggered by everything, especially when it doesn’t concern them. I didn’t bat an eye at the hats or setting. I got the “corporation greed = bad, and humans please treat Earth better” message, but mostly I was thrilled to be a cat solving puzzles and…

You’re not being disrespectful.

Agreed and also: not every writer/artist/game developer is equipped to grapple with racial issues in an effective or healthy way.

wow what a noob. I’ve been doing my taxes with it.

Damn. I feel like an idiot, I’ve just been using it to turn gifs and vids into animated wallpapers.

I actually don’t think using a real life aesthetic makes you have “a responsibility to grapple with its history.” I see the rice hat idea is being a bit more questionable, but “they didn’t insert a painful history lesson about a real life community (that had nothing to do with the story of their game)“ is... a plus?

I agree with the classic cyberpunk tropes and orientalism especially with the hats (“Get it? These are Asian robots...”), but I’m not so sure the developers had an obligation to explain the history. Sounds like the choice for the location was very much inspired from the perspective of a cat. It’s also a fictional…
