Which explains why they aren’t doing damage during that time.

I’m just so incredibly jealous you’re having this experience, because mine is just so far away from yours. 

I had someone tell me, with a straight face, that XV was the most feminist FF game because Lunafreya was fundamental to saving the world.

While colorism is a global issue, understandings of race/ethnicity which are fundamentally interlinked to skin tone is something that’s really specific to the US/UK. In other regions, while xenophobia/racism may certainly be based in or interrelated with colorism, there’s usually a lot more specific cultural nuance at…

You, sir, are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

I gotta be honest here, I simply don’t believe you.

This is the thing that legitimately all fan spaces tend to forget - you make up an extreme minority of the market segment for that property. Only a very, very small fraction of people care enough about properties they interact with to actually join communities (either online or in person), and then that small subset…

I really like Crimson Cosmos, TVA, Miniaturized Lab, and Space Throne. They switch up how you play, sure, but in a way where they’ve become interesting new strategic tools.

I also usually skip the first “slide,” ha.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse feels like it deserves a spot on the list to me. 

I think Rocky Horror pretty firmly runs into their “no musicals” rule for the list.

My god, I am so happy thats I only just care enough to have my mon’s nature not negatively impact its primary attack stat. This is a whole other level - my condolences to serious battlers.

The ZR thing would be totally fine if the pokemon could fucking keep up with you.

While I get this, voice to text is now pretty damn good, and is just as doable via virtual assistants as a voice text is. 

Yeah, the only thing I could figure from that paragraph is that there’s something I’m totally misunderstanding about the battle system. 

I totally agree that it’s an incredible amount of work. And I’m not even sure how feasible it would be coding for a PC, let alone a Switch.

It’s INCREDIBLY depressing that this seems to be what people increasingly seem to expect from press outlets nowadays - a single party line that everyone must stick to.

it’s not that it’s anime nonsense, it’s that it’s this super upbeat kids tone that Nintendo has adopted for several games now. Where everything is always incredible/exciting. There’s no texture to how characters interact with you - they’re basically all one note.

I was thinking about this last night, and it’s ultimately a problem with the entire philosophy. Arceus was better, but even that kinda sucked.

Even then, not really. When a game is well optimized and those things happen, then blaming the hardware is reasonable. But the way this game is coded to run is so utterly inefficient and unoptimized that the implications across the board are bad.
