Without any consideration of the things’ quality?

Depends on whether you think his town needs a comedy club, or affordable places for people to live.  

Because NFTs offer no positives that can’t already be achieved with existing technology.  There’s nothing there to report.  

I can be in the zone for 2 games and dominate the other team but then the following game is like I’ve never played before.

It certainly could have, but I think it’s more likely that we’re simply talking about a studio that hasn’t ever done an open-world game before, and has generally worked within a completely different, intentionally unrealistic artistic aesthetic. I think the game they were trying to make just wasn’t entirely within…

I don’t think anyone’s arguing for super awesome graphics.  Just ones that are comparable to other open-world games on the Switch.  As others have pointed out, Xenoblade and BotW have managed to make compelling open worlds with good art direction that makes the most of what the hardware is capable of.  This new…

You’re telling me.  I made the mistake of wading into the Pokemon discourse yesterday and I immediately regretted it.  

If the DARE of today is anything like it was when I went through it in the 90s, then they have no leg to stand on here. DARE in the 90s was basically drug college for 12-year-olds.

Rise of Skywalker is legitimately one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.  No Star Trek has ever been that bad.
