Good for them. These hackers are fucking awful: “Just because our country is literally trying to murder you is no reason for you to not... localize the game for Russians”.

Entitled pricks. Like, sorry - the devs aren’t monkey forced to dance for your amusement.

Good. We don’t need more monopolies. In the long run it usually doesn’t end well for everyone except the shareholders.

Aw jeez.

Thanks for the detailed response, that all sounds pretty good.

The pixel remasters are basically like a smoothed-out, cohesive remake for the first 6 games that all of them graphically on-par with FFV/FFIV, except for VI, which still looks better than the others. The music has been remastered in a way that was almost universally well-received as sounding great while being…

Dde, they're all already out already and we're quite well done. The only real complaint I've seen was the font.

“No Sequels Ever” seems unnecessarily artistically limiting, since sometimes not only does the sequel exceed the original but the sequel manages to be among the greatest things in its category ever (Like the Godfather Part 2 or Mad Max: Fury Road)

“I don’t know if we’ll ever go back [...] though if we do it will be at a time when the team wants to do that more than anything else,” Supergiant writer Greg Kasavin told Eurogamer.

I’ve heard four or five different ways to distinguish between roguelikes and rogue-lites, including progressing between runs, the use of obscured information (e.g. potions with an effect you can only discern by drinking them), turn-based action, and more. It just doesn’t seem like a valuable way to distinguish between…

The story beats were good, but the actual execution of the story was a big whiff.

They should be easy to spot with some examination, yes. But:

‘Significant’ and ‘subtle’ are antonyms, I think.

A little off topic, but that tweet brings up a great point - Square Enix has an insane pace lately with these smaller and more interesting titles. Nintendo’s also killing it and maintaining a strong release schedule while Sony and Microsoft seem to be struggling in that regard. It makes me wonder if the fascination…

My Reading Comprehension is bad today, when they say “all platforms” did they mean its coming to like, PS4/5 or all platforms *that currently have the game*

playing on the PC is all fine I suppose, it’s whatever, but man would love it on my console too.

To me it’s not one, like, big thing, but a thousand little things, most of which don’t look too bad on their own, but come together to kill his whole vibe.

Ahem, Spider-Man was a permanent PS4 exclusive.

The entire trend of videos that are “fuck with your pet by doing X” needs to die. Some of the things are harmless but all of them encourage the attitude that pets are entertainment instead of responsibility.

Thanks for posting about this! As a sleep scientist and board-certified sleep clinician, it is always great to see this come up. There are a few things that I want to clarify from this piece, though:

It’s like going to a building that has a sign that says, “please use side door” and then complaining the building is “nearly inaccessible”

Isn’t this how all life goes? The beautiful survive and the ugly become chowder.
