I mean jokes and all, I think Live Action Sailor Moon went so hard when they didn’t even have to LOL.

It starts out cringe and cutsey and then, next thing you know [spoilers for a 2003 show I guess?] Episode 50 rolls around and Usagi ends up being possessed by her vengeful Past-Life Self and destroys the world. Sailor…

Why? Because in the pre-internet era, Americans were even more xenophobic and ignorant of the rest of the world than they are today.

In 1999 I watched the blurry shakey-cam Saban Moon trailer video for the first time. When it was finished, my PC abruptly blue screened, and I was forced to reinstall Windows. I remain convinced that my PC was trying to commit technological suicide after being forced to process that video, and I have never attempted…

The dramatist in me hoped that as soon as the package opened, the cards would turn to dust and fade into the wind.

Whatever Cyclizar’s backstory turns out to be, it’s providing more productive fodder for fans than the alternative: once again bashing Pokémon’s graphics.

Final Fantasy isn’t the thing having issues with adapting, Square Enix management is the problem.

step 1: don’t install valorant in the first place

The initial takedown is “better safe than sorry.” Their refusal to review is “you don’t make us enough money, so fuck you”.

Yeah, I mean, I appreciated the little vignettes after major story beats where you could see a brief conversation between two characters as if the whole party was actually travelling together, but it was too little to have much impact.

The characters of the first game werent even together, the cutscenes made that aggravatingly obvious. Like when your lead character for that chapter was stabbed and had to be rescued hours later by an NPC.

Octopath Traveler had so much potential and I ended up so disappointed in it

“D&D is hot right now, largely because queer roleplayers have made it shine”

Look I’d love if we queers could take credit for this but dude that’s an interesting choice for planting a flag. That you skip over Stranger Things is weird, which (along with Critical Role, which you mention) I feel did a LOT more to bring it…

Ugh this article

“Be it queer-only actual play podcasts that chart out across epic adventures for hours at a time every week, or powerful new RPGs like Thirsty Sword Lesbians, the modern TTRPG renaissance is profoundly queer and, from the looks of things, this film is not brave enough to take the same chance.”

Your view of nerd culture…

This is such a weird problem. Like I can see it fitting perfectly for servers that Mojang rents to people, but if I’m running a server in my closet. I don’t think Microsoft/Mojang should get the telemetry data of that kind of private information without the option the not send that data off. Not that there’s…

Yeah this type of stuff can backfire horribly, not work at all and/or not even be noticed by the majority of players. Of course no one wants to have hate speech, bullying, harassing or sexual solicitation in the chat, we can all agree on that, even though most people will *only* talk about this for obvious reasons.

Public servers sure, but private servers do not, and can not (if logic is applied), have legal implications for microsoft.

You mention laws catching up to technology, but the scenario you are suggesting is akin to a paper company being liable for what i write on it with my pen.

Once i buy the game from minecraft, i run…

This last point is particularly week imo.

The “abuse and predatory behavior that moderation would help catch” will simply be unreportable through the use of alternative chat mediums, mods like the previously mentioned one, or in game communication via the world.

Even if they manage to catch someone in rare moments of…

the Want to date a family member is something we know about, we’ve reproduced ourselves, we’re working on it.

Impressive. Square managed to combine all of the things I hate about modern sites and apps into one inconvenient package!
