This is a rhetorical question, but are any of the things you mentioned actually anything that a statistically notable number of Japanese people have expressed concerns about? It reads as Things That Stick in My Craw + Nouns That I Have Decided Are Automatically Bad, projected onto a country you likely have an…

I. AM TAROK.

What’s Bosa?

Because that’s the ruleset.

If taking 20 minutes out of your life to watch an internet video really seems that daunting to you but you apparently have the time to write a post asking for someone else to regurgitate information from said video for you, I wish you the best in finding ways to improve your time management…

Maybe your simultaneously cliché & baffling assessment of how “so many people” (specifically who?) think is part of your problem? Just a thought.

The numbers would suggest very few people think this marketing claptrap, which is made to appease the people who bankroll their marketing claptrap, is worthwhile. That’s kind…

It’s been my more recent impression that Capcom also targeted Data East out of spite- I’m under the impression both companies (DE in particular, being much smaller & having stronger historical yakuza ties) were making bank on black market arcade exports to mostly China & Brazil (done through, from what I understand,…

~things like this erode a percentage of your desired audience while attracting less desirable audiences and thus are net toxifying~

I played through MP1&2 both within the last 3 months & I’m still overjoyed you’re doing this. MP2 in particular really wowed me, much more so than when I played it contemporarily.

In the three decades I’ve been alive, I’ve heard far more “people complain about everything these days” complaints IRL than actual unreasonable complaints. And that includes a decade of working high-service retail!

It’s pretty much accepted generally that “athletics” doesn’t just mean “moving arms and legs athletically” or a similarly narrowly muscular-focused definition. Even ignoring the intense physicality of many top-tier esports competitors (and don’t even pretend those Starcraft macroheads aren’t working just as physically …

So, they’re spending a shitload of money to keep their players happy, but are they making a profit? I know there’s money in esports, but enough to justify the amount of cash burn this article suggests?

It’s not quite as stupefying as Minecraft Youtubers who bought multimillion dollar mansions assuming that sweet…

Ignore, comment was not supposed to be nested. Apologies.

I don’t mean this as aggressive as it’s going to read, but how did you of all people (Kotaku’s resident MAN IN JAPAN) manage to write this entire article without working in at least a passing mention to Dakko-chan?
