Yeah, but those were job listings, not a public announcement of a project that didn’t even have a working title yet.  That’s a way wider net to cast.  

Oh for sure. Leaving the labor issues, lawsuits, and general misconduct aside, an all new Blizzard IP is absolutely the sort of thing many developers would be interested in getting in on in the early days. Usually, though, you’d see mention of “all new unannounced IP” in job listings, not a general announcement to the…

Long underwear.  Layering is the key to staying warm, and long underwear is great for days that are too cold for just a jacket, but not cold enough for the parka and snow pants.

It looks like someone running an uprezzed N64 or early GameCube game in an emulator.  

Right, but it also seems normal to do all that before you publicly announce the project.  This feels like casting a wide net because they need a big catch.  

Seems weird to announce a game like this when you don’t even have a working title. I wonder if this announcement is to try to entice some new recruits to join the company since they’re losing talent left and right.

No, dense is not understanding the difference between a software developer and a software publisher.

I’ve always been of the mind that if you want something, get it.

I could 100% see Mando-era Cal Kestis (if he’s still alive) still being interested in restarting the Jedi Order.

If they were going to go that direction, why not just use the actor they based Cal’s character model on?  No CGI required.  Maybe a little bit of aging makeup.  

Because in the final moments of the game Cal makes the decision not to pursue the force-sensitive children knowing that it would make them a target of the Empire.  I’m pretty sure he even destroys the holocron.

Also, The Mandalorian would have been vastly better and more interesting had Cal Kestis shown up to rescue Grogu.

Not sure what you’re skeptical about. These are verifiable facts that are matters of public record. You can easily confirm them. Nintendo does not develop, and never has developed, a Pokemon game. They have a part ownership of the IP and the publishing rights to the games. That’s not the same as being the developer, no…

The Pokemon Company is jointly owned by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures.  The Pokemon games are not developed by Nintendo, though they do publish them.

The store worker specifically said they have a peanut butter substitute for people with peanut allergies.  They just didn’t ask.  

Yeah, but when someone says “no peanuts” you don’t make assumptions.  You check for allergies.  This is food service 101.

So, obviously a racist tirade is never appropriate, but this is a bit more than “they got his order wrong.” If you work in food service, putting peanuts in something that isn’t supposed to have peanuts is something you can not do. You can literally kill someone, and it’s understandable that this guy would be furious.

The Pokemon games are developed by The Pokemon Company, not Nintendo.  

What an asshole you must be to use “this isn’t important, so it’s okay to be shitty to people about it” as an excuse for your shitty behavior.
