I like blue, so I picked Mystic. Kinda how I picked between the original Pokemon games too.

Because if they made these stops Starbucks locations, or any other venue in high number/distribution/etc., you’d be complaining that the game wants you to participate in ‘gross capitalism’ or something. :p

To be fair, it only seems like they’re really sticking it to you for buying things that subvert the point of playing. That is, to catch Pokemon, outside around your neighborhood/town/etc.

I like it better than pinkberry because there are usually more options, and you pay by weight of what you serve, than an arbitrary small/medium/large pricepoint.

I didn’t know ‘voicing one’s feelings on a thing’ counted as edge now.

That sounds so incredibly fun & I envy it.

So you’re upset they’re ending a thing that doesn’t actually motivate you to participate regularly in?

How is it that ending a thing they only do once a month, while continuing to allow regular play considered ‘killing’ it? If all that matters to you are these events, then you killed Splatoon in your heart a loooooong time ago.

“I believe these things, so of course they’re true. I won’t accept otherwise”

I asked a few Russian Overwatch players what they thought about Zarya in the context of contemporary Russia. Responses were all over the map. Ivan Tomilov, a 22 year-old student in St. Petersburg, agrees that Zarya’s appearance is strikingly non-traditional for Russian women. Dyed hair and muscles, he said, are…

This may be the only good thing to come from this.

It’s moments like these I’m happy for local shops. Was able to head in and get a copy without issue.

Man, you don’t actually read things before responding, do you?

It’s real frustrating too, considering a lot of Gamers can’t seem to look past their own biases and hatred, and acknowledge that yeah, the ‘little guy’ can do shady, illegal stuff too and no, just because he did it to the ‘big guy’ doesn’t then make it honorable or right.

It doesn’t even matter if he paid these freelancers (which, if he’s calling the artists that, and not paying, that’s a whole other set of laws being broken). If they were working for him, he’s responsible.

Even if he is ripping Activison off, good. They deserve it.

It’s funny how Gamers neglect all common sense, for the sake of confirmation bias and feeling good about hating Big Bad Publishers.

So far I’m really digging it. The session attacks remind me of group attacks in FE, and I’m really enjoying the SMT-ification of Chrom, et al.’s character designs. Plus the game is like...hyper colorful. And I’m all about that.

Wait, so you mean Internet monsters were able to take things and manipulate them so, out of context, they achieved their desired effect and led people to believe in something that never existed?

Seems like eating this requires a good lack of self-respect...and I don’t mean that in a bad way.
