This reminds me of a former CD Projekt Red employee explicitly stating that the biggest reason behind the crunch at that studio is because their projects are so poorly managed for the first phase that they HAVE to force overtime around the clock to ship the game on time. The managerial equivalent of pulling an all…

Oh god, deep internet pull here. I wonder how many people even recognize this video now.

I’m a little surprised anyone actually trusts Facebook to be real with WhatsApp’s privacy. I’ve been hearing about privacy issues with it literally since the beginning, and now it’s owned and operated by the biggest threat to personal privacy maybe ever?

What are so independent alternatives to WhatsApp that don’t make…

I go through phases where I will OBSESSIVELY play a Picross or Picross 3D game for weeks, almost exclusively. And then I’ll get super burned out on it until like 8-10 months later when it all happens again. It’s very soothing for me, but when I started to dream in grids and numbers, it’s gotta stop.

That’s not even all of the wackiness associated with this story! I live in Wichita, Whipple is my mayor. A lot of conservatives here hate him because he pushed hard for a mask mandate here when our county commission refused to do so. One of those county commissioners, Michael O’Donnell, is now implicated in paying to…

Literally no one was arguing that Rowling doesn’t have a right to be a shitty person. We just all think she shouldn’t be a shitty person. Just because you have a right to do something doesn’t mean you should.

Kind of ironic that this is happening with the development of a game based on a genre created to critique capitalism and exploitation of workers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was gonna say the same thing. I think I’ve seen this headline almost word for word.

Anyone who unironically uses the term “fake news” is an asshole. It deliberately normalizes Trump’s assault on the media and truth.

Also, I thought stories about Ancel being very difficult to work with had been around for ages? Am I misremembering that?

Dude, if you’re comparing remasters to emulations with mods... the remasters are going to lose every time. I think you’ve made a pretty good case for the emulator route, if only because it’s free...

So the difficulty here is really nailing down if the streamers’ toxic qualities come from being asshole streamers or asshole members of the Navy. Gonna have to chalk it up to both, I guess.

This is an A+ comment and you deserve a ribbon or a medal or something.

I like articles like this. I really wish game discourse could move past “good/bad” and more into interesting or unique elements and how they can be adapted or refined. Most of the comments seem focused on the overall quality of the game, when the article is about a specific aspect of the game the author finds…

Haha, I’m the opposite. I still play the old Mario games regularly, but I have absolutely no interest in the Game & Watch.

The comment you replied to went completely over your head. =/

Jesus, fuck off Ethan. Our country is one step away from full blown fascism and you’re wringing your hands over Biden’s Animal Crossing yard signs.

Fuck. Off.

Boone has outed himself as a racist asshole, so I can’t imagine his vision for the movie is anything more than garbage.

That’s a really good point, yeah. The handheld remakes are almost more like reimaginings, so maybe they’re relatively complexity is what’s holding Square-Enix back. Or maybe they’re waiting to see how well the ports do before they commit to a larger project.

Those remakes, and the WonderSwan remake of FF Legends 1, never got English language releases, so Square-Enix would have to pay to localize them and I doubt they want to put that much money into it.

A) I think you’re assuming a lot, and B) I don’t see how that’s any better or really any different.

And again, coupled with their complete lack of understanding of the severity of the workplace abuse, it’s pretty clear TadBravo isn’t making this in good faith at all.
