It’s a shame that the young generation no longer willing to put in the amount of work he (or rather the industry) required, but in addition of the horrendous living condition typical of the current anime industry I don’t think it should come as a surprise.

Probably gonna go a bit off topic, but I wouldn’t say that Ash is a loser or lousy. If anything, I say he is more normal than Keita. When he is determined he can do great things, but like any other ten year old, he also tends to slack quite a bit. He goes to the league and usually is somewhere in the top 8 or top 4,…

Ha! The kid can’t catch a break.

Not the blue shell argument again! That is a conscious choice by Nintendo that may indeed feel a bit unfair. But in my experience the good racers still win. The bad racers get better powerups to even out the balance in a game of differently-skilled players. I think that makes the game more fun for everyone, which is…

Yeah, the original Red and Blue Pokedex calls it a “Power Save Belt” I think. Says they’re so strong that they have to have the belt to coordinate their movements. Pokedex had some ridiculous entries back in the day, but I gather it’s only gotten weirder in the years since.

It’s not the fans, it’s the publishers. They’re the ones that actually threaten to take away the author’s work and give it to someone else. That’s how we got the Majin Buu Saga in Dragonball. Cell was supposed to be the end (which you can clearly see with how it was written and how Gokou behaved towards the finish),…

Yeah. I think it's just older gamers not enjoying a reminder that the game they're super into is accessible to everyone.

I've already lost two children to the incredibly deep potholes pockmarking our streets and sidewalks. Some nights as I lie awake in bed, I think, "Would they still be alive if I hadn't let them play Mario?"

Back in the day, the idea of playing a video game at home was new. All the designers of those ass hard (now looking back most were broken) games was because their background previously was the arcade. The goal in the arcade is to make the game has hard as possible as it's meant to be played in short bursts where the…

There may be many things wrong with society, but the fact that we are making our entertainment - note: our entertainment, not our education - more available and accessible; this is not one of those many things.

This is what is wrong with society. Someone goes and compares making a video game easier to coddling children. Because video games are just like real life.

People hate when others get options they won't personally use.
