And that, Ladies and Gentleman, is the perfect analogy for the modern Republican party. Have no actual positions people agree with? Just make people angry by lying to them instead.

I’m not sure if the two are entirely the same. If you sell a fake deed to the Brooklyn Bridge, you’ve found one person who fell for your scam. NFTs, otoh, have tens of thousands of people who buy them, creating a real market where these things have actual resale value.

“It’s pretty funny that Steam thinks that NFTs contain real value”

I think a Netflix pricing model makes sense, but only if you have a Netflix-sized library. I’d gladly pay Nintendo 60 bucks a year if they had all of their backcatalog (that can reasonably be put online, i.e. excluding licensed titles and such) on their service. But the way they’re releasing games, that’s never going…

Yeah. Put 50 good GBA games on there, maybe dig out some unique unreleased stuff, and then it’ll be close to worthwhile.

The N64 controller is probably sold out because Nintendo made way too few (like always), and people bought them up hoping they’d be worth twice the current price if they leave it in the box and wait a bit.

Technically, it’s almost impossible that they unintentionally forgot somebody. The way games are developed, you’ll see everybody who actually contributed assets in the game’s versioning repository. Also, every software copmany larger than a dozen people has detailed data on who worked in which position and on what…

I think you’re conflating news articles and investigative pieces. Kotaku still does both, and the fact that they published a news article on this doesn’t mean that they can’t, and won’t, also follow up with a more in-depth piece, if it is warranted.

If these aren’t two entities that absolutely deserve each other, I don’t know who is.

This criticism is nonsensical. More of the same can be good, the thing that is kept is great, and if fresh new things are added, which is clearly the case here. More of the same can be bad, if the thing that is kept is showing its age, and not enough fresh things are added, as is the case with Far Cry 6.

Celsius temps work best for cooking, and are imo fine for human comfort/weather:

I get that the imperial system feels more olden-thymes, so that’s probably why they stick to it, but for me, every time somebody says “x feet”, my mind is like, “okay, one of my feet is about 30 cm, soooo...”

I find it so odd that people look at a woman wearing a horse mask, jumping around on her bed, and come to the conclusion that this is “pretty much porn.” It makes me genuinely curious about what is going on in your bedroom, and what you actually think sex is.

This seems like it’s clearly a James Gunn situation, where somebody makes a joke assuming that the people watching them are familiar with the context for that joke, but then the joke is shown out of context and now doesn’t look like it’s all that funny anymore. Not a great look, but hardly proof that she’s a terrible…

It’s news. I don’t watch her streams, but I find these articles interesting, because they provide information about part of the world I’m unfamiliar with.

I think I do agree that the visual style (not how it is technically executed, which is excellent, but the art direction) is a step down from particularly the amazing-looking 16-bit Metroids on the SNES and GBA.

The music in Metroid is utterly amazing, and is one of the major reasons why Metroid games ore so good at conveying the feeling of being alone, in an alien world, where everything is hostile towards you.

The complaint isn’t that it is similar to its predecessor. Super Mario World was similar to Super Mario Bros 3, and it’s still one of the best games ever made. The problem is that Ubisoft’s sequels (and even its different franchises) are often literally the same game with a slightly different skin and a slightly…

Reviewers are complaining about FIFA plenty, and the different Final Fantasies are much more different from each other than any of Ubisoft’s current offerings.

His point, which he does make in the review, is that the game isn’t just stagnant, it’s not even primarily a game, but a means of selling microtransactions to Ubisoft’s customers. From context, I believe that’s what he described as morally bancrupt.
