I definitely think it’s really cool that so many different writers and artists have given their own personal spin to Batman in various types of media. each one touching on different aspects or ideas regarding the character.

do it! they’re really good games. I’d recommend either Nocturne which just got remastered or SMT5 which came out pretty recently on Switch.

no. a monopoly is when a company is the only one providing a product or service. people discussed this at length when Epic sued Apple.

as far as I can tell Wolfire Games releases their games exclusively on Steam, that’s their choice. nothing is preventing them from selling on GOG or Epic Game Store. if they have a problem with Valve and Steam all they have to do is take their business elsewhere. I’m sure Epic would give them some money to make their…

I think you mean Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee.

right! this is exactly why I prefer Batman comics from the 70's and 80's. Batman wasn’t a weird goofball like in the 60's and he wasn’t a brodding emo person like in modern day. he was often portrayed as a relatively normal person with normal thoughts and emotions. he also didn’t wear a suit of impenetrable bullet…

yes! it’s called MesuKing. I’m actually surprised that more people don’t know about this stuff. bug fighting is an actual children’s hobby in Japan.

it’s a very interesting dialogue system.

in the SMT game you just have a verbal conversation with the demons and you try to convince them to join your team.

of course. but the big issue here is that more people use Steam than other similar services. that’s a fact.

I think it’s also important to remember that Batman (as far as I can remember) has never gone after poor people that are just trying to get by with what little they have.

how do you feel about the way Shin Megami Tensei does it? how about Digimon? there are lots of game franchises that work very similarly to Pokemon.

“I believe this makes most developers afraid that if they don’t sell on Steam, they will lose the majority of their revenue. To those developers, avoiding Steam would add unacceptable risk to the already high risk of game development in general. I believe that most developers have little or no choice but to sell…

no no, you don’t understand. our world might be pretty fucked right now. but the world Batman exists in is way more fucked up. we haven’t gotten to the point where we need vigilantes to replace law enforcement but Batman’s world has been like that for a long time.

on the other hand I can never get into Pokemon anymore because the animal fighting is so on the nose and attached to the gaslighting “they like to fight because we’re such good friends” like what the actual fuck?!?

in the real world? sure I totally get that. but the world that Batman exists in is one where the cops are completely incompetent and incapable of maintaining law and order, sometimes they’re even complicit in the criminal activity that goes on. that’s why Batman exists in this world. he’s there to stop criminals from…

Clunky-looking co-op and Jason “cop” Todd aside, the most exhausting bit of footage was the deep dive into loot rarity, mod slots, and other mechanics designed to juice your brain chemistry and keep you playing long after you’ve stopped having fun. Look, I love a good skill tree and some gear stats. I’ve played…

probably the most shocking revelation from this series was in the episode about The Guy Game which revealed how Nintendo acquired Retro Studios. somehow these two videos are related to each other.

this specifically reminds me of Resident Evil Gun Survivor for the PS1.
