Yeah, this metaphor doesn’t work because the whole reason fast food is popular is because it’s fast and cheap, not because it’s good. Whereas a volume of One Piece or Naruto costs exactly as much as a volume of whatever your favorite manga is, and (so long as it’s in print) it’s just as easy to find. So those series…

It makes me happy that Michael B Jordan is openly such a dork. Good for him.

That’s what’s super fun about corporations nowadays, the shareholders and CEOs all demand infinite growth potential which is, like, literally impossible, instead of just reaching a certain level and being all “this is pretty good.”

Funko Pop!(s) as an investment?

Tulips would like a word.

Over the long run, 99 percent of Funkos are worthless outside of whatever depraved joy fans get from occasionally making eye contact with the ones lining their shelves.

I saw someone point out on Twitter that the fact people rather play the old game, microtransactions be damned, should be a flag to Rovio as to how little they’ve done with their new titles to spur interest in them. Monetization is one thing, but they should’ve evolved enough at this point that people should be more…

Just wanted to reiterate what you said and add: It’s truly wild! Who okayed that messaging???

Calling them "neo" nazis does them a favor. Like that might bevless bad. They are all just fucking nazis. Every last one of them. Don't ever forget it.

What’s so weird is that previous notice seems to do a good job of providing some reasonable arguments for why the games should be pulled - they’re based on old code, they’re not up to date with platform requirements, etc - whereas today’s message just kinda fumbles the ball and says “Oh yeah we could make more money…

Obviously we only have a surface-level and outside understanding of what’s going on, but from how I’m reading this it seems like it might be the case that this young dev is highly protective of a project that understandably is very personal to him, and when the publisher didn’t treat it with the utmost reverence he…

As someone who worked as a professional translator, I agree that this is pretty much a lost cause. Things like this don’t translate well, or at all. It would be like trying to translate a crossword puzzle into another language and still expecting it to work with the original spaces provided, or even for the wordplay…

Is your argument that unless you can talk about all problematic things you can’t talk about one problematic thing without it seeming odd that you’re not talking about all the other problematic things?

it’s curious that they didn’t even wink wink, nudge nudge at the fact that these could all be found fairly easily...

Yeah, Rosario Dawson, fantastic all the way.

According to AestheticGamer1, the scrapped RE7 game featured a Telltale Games-inspired choice mechanic that, during crucial moments, would’ve stopped time and led to branching pathways in the game’s level design.

Sure, I’ll be honest; while I dislike how much some plot points in RE6 jumped the shark and then jumped another, bigger shark within a couple of minutes time, I did have a lot of fun playing it online with my sister, and I liked it more than I dislike it. Matt Mercer was a great Leon, and I loved having Sherry back…

Thrilled to see this one on deck, can’t wait to revisit this stylish take on Hyrule. 

The China references are still relevant because you have to take the global picture into account, because regulators are talking about blocking the deal on anti-competition / anti-trust worries. The important part of it is that Tencent has a bigger slice of the overall worldwide games market than Sony, Microsoft or…

Flu, schmoo. This is profiteering.
