While I’m not fond of the price, it’s clear the quality of contents are far better. Statues like that easily run $200+.

They’re electric, not traditional. Like the ones you can get from bed bath and beyond or michaels during fall for like 20 dollars. In a multi pack.

This isn’t the first time it’s happened. I think it’s actually kind of smart for the consumer, oddly enough. Now that we have choice between the convenience of digital copies or the tangible value of physical copies, offering a collectors’ edition without the game gives the player choice in how they want the game…

I think the thing I find this most analogous to is “AutoTune”.

I bounced off of FFTA, and I don’t think it was just because of the kiddy aesthetic. It’s also just mechanically different in a lot of ways that some folks don’t enjoy. Also after going back to it a few weeks ago, I’m not a fan of the interface.

I’m gonna watch this on my cell phone in about three months and then decide if it’s a good movie. 

Your math is in fact wrong because the events are not independent. Ad absurdum, imagine there are only 2 days in the year and 3 people: if person A and B don’t share a birthday, person C must share a birthday with one of them. You start off well, we need to calculate the probability that 2 people don’t share a…

I don’t find myself disagreeing with Kotaku reviews very often, and this is the first one in recent memory that I just kind of outright disagreed with.

Kotaku is staffed by bloggers. They don’t even fully understand how journalism works. I wouldn’t expect them to be knowledgeable about game development.

Beyond this, it simply says that, “Other select bug fixes have been made.” Given the patch is only 1GB, it can’t be an enormous number.

I’m not a programmer, but I wouldn’t expect a patch that fixes some of these issues to be large. It seems more like code issues which to me wouldn’t take up a lot of room - I would think the graphics and stuff would be large and I doubt those are what need fixed directly, but that’s just me.

Fletchling is available in the first area and it’s a solid alternative to Fuecoco (especially since it’s nearly as fast as Sprigatito).

Worth noting that this only really applies to the fanmade Smogon formats (used on Pokemon Showdown primarily) and not anything official.

Or, and this is just an idea, you could play the intended 3v3 game rather than Smogon’s custom 6v6 ruleset they’ve been dragging along for 30 years.

Wow this is an uninformed article. Treating Smogon as the de facto rules adjudicators of Pokémon just exacerbates the impression that they know what they’re doing and should get to be in charge of what is “banned”. Not that GameFreak has a perfect record of balancing the game. Far from it. But at least they know what…

i’m a white person and i’m fine with the word cracker, it’s not going to make me bat an eye. i do justtthink it’s kinda odd that they’re playing off the n-word pass meme tho with a c-word pass? what’s the way i want to say this? it’s just weird to me. again, my feefees aren’t hurt, my sensibilities aren’t even…

As someone clearly to *your* left, you need to go back to reading theory and drop this bullshit "boo hoo the left is why the fascists are coming" bullshit because no one is buying it

“A conversation that I don’t think I’d want to have in this venue” is also an awareness that the person on the phone is looking for “Seinfeld blasts back at Chappelle” clickbait headline and he’s politely opting out of that.

His response was perfectly reasonable? It’s basically: why are you looking to Jerry Seinfeld to solve this? Comes off to me as self-awareness that this really isn’t his lane, and it isn’t. He has no deep thoughts on this, and realizes it.

Because they also lobby for those rules. They are only following the rules they create, pay for, and approve.
