I’m not sure I follow? This is a totally different graphical approach from other games and from what I understand it’s open world? Those are different tech/design skillsets from their normal games.

Yeah, I’m surprised by how close they’re releasing.

My biggest gripes with Sword/Shield were that:

This is a very good commentary.

Honest question - can you extrapolate more on what you mean by the ideas? Because I haven’t seen anything I’d have considered that, but I also abandoned the game relatively early since I found it so shallow.

It’s also somewhat surreal.

Tbh, there’s such a huge number of people who are zelda fans who never got to actually enjoy Skyward Sword because they loathed the motion controls.

Let’s play a game - choose a word or phrase that applies to literally everyone in that picture.

If “on your own” you mean “have your own bedroom in a shared apartment” then yes.

It sounds to me like your wife is being disgustingly underpaid.

Yeah, that’s never actually been a thing. It’s a lovely lie they can tell to defend their paycheck.

How dare you make me read a Friend’s joke in the year of our lord 2021

A. Language evolves in a direction in line with our communication needs. It, quite literally, evolves into a direction that is advantageous for us - the people who use the language to communicate.

Maquette most challenged my eyes unfortunately. That game actually makes me dizzy and sick. I wanted to keep playing, because so much of it was beautiful, but the motion sickness was too much.

Note: AAVE is not a regional language, and the way I wrote the above suggests that it is. That should be regional/cultural languages.

Yep. And it’s so frequently a tool for racism/classism, too.

To an extent, I agree that it’s harder to learn. But I also think so many of these have strayed from their original pronunciations because we already were disconnected from their origin.

Counterpoint: this is a very natural part of how language has always evolved, and will always evolved, and we’re being pedantic and elitist (and often classist) in the most cringeworthy way to pretend otherwise.

I have little to no interest in the spat around Asmongold. All I hope is that nonsense toxicity doesn’t follow a lot of these WoW players over into FFXIV. I love our community, and it’s easily the best one I’ve been in over the 20 years I’ve been gaming online...

That said, it’s also ridiculous to think that one…

Eh.
