Really fun insight from the VA, I appreciated this piece.

Though an editor needs to do a do-over on this one; there’s some omissions and typos here.

That’s a lot of antagonism towards the people for the head of state of the one country most famously known for sending to the guillotine its last king.

I see the logic behind the outcry, but precisely because it’s the depiction of a fictional world wherein a royal sharkman marries a noble sharkwoman, I think it’s fair to say that taking offense at the marriage because it somehow ruins whatever assumed dynamic between Link and Sidon is in itself reflective of the…

If you want a game where they did try to make advance wars into a gritty game that perhaps matches its subject matter “better”, try tracking down a copy of Advance Wars : Days of Ruin for the Nintendo DS, the last game to come out of the series before the remake.

It has its own post-apocalyptic war setting that is…

Tastes are a personal thing yada yada but man, I can’t agree with this list.

Awakening at the top is just so, so wrong, especially with RD so far down.

It’s dishonest in quite the same way clickbait is dishonest. In fact, that’s because it is essentially just that.

And so it follows that they would draw criticism upon themselves. I see criticism in that context as justified.

I’m otherwise in agreement with you in that ultimately it’s all nonsense anyways because even…

They are always opinions, which is why any implication that they are definitive is de facto dishonest and an invitation to criticism.

Phrasing is important!

When you make a personal list, you say as much. This is my personal favorite. This is the panel’s most esteemed, top games or whatever.

You do not say, “this is the list of the best video games of all time, as ranked by an expert jury”.

That phrasing invites this type of criticism because it is…

Please be more like AC4A, please be more like AC4A

There’s definitely some valid points to the merits of the 4v4 format you’re talking about. A number of moves and abilities only function in a double format, and there’s no question that the battle preview offers its own layer of unique strategizing that is more impactful in a 3v3 or 4v4 format compared to 6v6 singles…

The only reason Gf has eventually started to champion 4v4 and 3v3 formats is in an effort to make games go faster, but from a global standpoint it really limits the strategical possibilities of the system, which is explicitly built around a 6 mon team (a philosophy still present in almost every aspect of pokemon…

I suppose then this could be contingent on the distinctiveness and the visibility of the tattoo itself.

The distinction is understood, the argument is that the distinction is stupid.

On a fundamental level a person should have ownership of their likeness.

The tattoo is a part of the person’s body and a generally recognized distinctive feature.

The 3D model is a representation of the actor made in his likeness, and that…

It took all but 2 paragraphs for me to know I would be dismissing the entire article.

My personal favorite, World Trigger, is also penned by a mangaka with crippling health issues. He’s been on a 2 year hiatus before and he takes a month off every now and again to this day.

Trust me the irony of acting like this when there’s so many indigenous languages to save is not lost on me. That’s part of why I say we’re taking the wrong lessons from history.

Nah, we're solely lacking in people. We literally are missing personnel in all sectors and industries, from education and healthcare to fucking fast food.

Historically speaking there have been times when measures have been necessary for Quebec to protect itself, both as an identity and as a geopolitical entity. The French majority having only truly gained political and economical autonomy and dominance in Quebec during the 70s, overtaking the English elite (that still…

You’re right of course that people are easily convinced in the moment before being taken by the wave at the voting booth.

Yeah, I’m aware of the level of support it got from the political class, though officially each had their own angle on the law. QS and the PQ for instance are each advocating for important revisions, like prolongating the learning period by a year or 2.
