Luigi actually seems to be giving the middle finger AND the colloquially European F-U arm gesture (Bras d’honneur according to wiki, or arm of honor, though I’d never heard it called that before). Makes it even better. Feels much more Italian now.

Luigi being in Mario 64 isn’t a myth. Miyamoto has stated multiple times that Mario 64 was supposed to have a multiplayer mode and Luigi was supposed to be Player 2 like normal, but it was due to time and hardware issues.

this lands like a normal news post, a load of stuff in a single article, but every single tweet and mention in this post would have been its own news story if leaked individually.

Exactly. Pulaski was considered an asshole because she acted like an asshole all the time. Had nothing to do with gender.

But Crusher challenged Picard ALL the time. She just wasn’t an abrasive ass like Pulaski usually was about it. 

All I need to know about Janeway is that she murdered Tuvix and never thought twice about it.

No.

I mean I understand, but the latter argument is too close to ‘historical accuracy’ folks like to throw around for not having black/brown folks in sword and board stories and that rubs me wrong.

Furthermore, imagine if the guy announcing every other championship or iconic moment also got outed as a rapist.

Also the “why won’t Nintendo support us” crowd finally has the loudest and clearest answer imaginable.

Just to put this in perspective for folks who haven’t been covering this: imagine if just before going into the NBA playoffs we learned that 4 out of 5 starters on every single team entering the playoffs had abused minors, as well as 100% of the coaching staff.

If I were 14, this might spark envy in my soft little brain. As a man in his 30s, I can only think that some incredibly bad decisions are going to be made in that ridiculously gaudy house, and these kids are just not ready for it.

I didn’t even know the game released...

I will be perfectly fine with video games no longer being a “safe space” for the toxic community, as it were.

Asking for a threesome is not an abusive statement. The problem isn’t the nature of the sex act. The problem is that Dariani was someone with immense power in the industry, and Ayala was someone who worked in that industry, and whose career could be seriously damaged if Dariani decided to get vindictive over her…

Bethesda’s already beaten up that franchise harder than Smash ever could

None of the Mii Costumes are included in the Fighter’s Pass, just the fighters themselves and their stages and music.

Given the general reactions I’ve seen around the net the last 24 hours, I don’t think that’s the case this time. I also don’t think it’s purely homophobes or gamergaters either. The first game resonated emotionally with a lot of people and it’s hard to watch characters you grew to love outright suffering.

The user scores on Metacritic have always been worthless. Ideally there should be a way to link your PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo/Steam account to show you actually own the game on your account and have at least an hour or two played.

Watched a bit of the game on YouTube.
