It was the flight sims that ingrained the difference in me.  And maybe I just want to watch the world burn.

Yeah, it must be conditioning at this point. But it’s button location more than letter association for me. The bottom button is “confirm/action/etc.”, the left button is “next”, the right button is “back/cancel,” and the top button is “heavy attack.”

I don’t know.  I’ve had my Switch for years now, and the swapped cancel/confirm still bugs me.  

100% agree, if I play one console longer than the other for a stretch I always fuck it up when I switch back to the other console.

I think they should also set the Y-axis to default to inverted if they’re going around making changes.

Im tired of Nintendo being opposite of Sony, Microsoft, and PC. 

The switch was my first Nintendo console and it really fucked with my head that the lower button wasn’t confirm. 

So, we don’t know what Spider-Man will look like in Avengers yet. Maybe it’s this? And he is being retconned, so to speak, in his own game to match Avengers and be kind of a shared game universe?

Credit where it’s due to my local Con in DC, Awesome Con - they initially postponed from the planned date in May (which was more last-minute, since things were unfolding more unpredictably at the time) to late this year, but ended up cancelling that a month ago out of an abundance of caution. I’m still hoping they can…

“Hey you know how ‘Con Flu’ and ‘Con Crud’ are both already a thing? Well let’s do that but with a known deadly virus!”

sadly yes. I know of some major cons (gencon, dragoncon) that openly told their fans that they had to wait on the state governor to force them to cancel or they would be on the hook for the full cost of their venue

Yeah. It’s not happening no matter what they say.

Remember, folks, many of your fellow citizens are selfish psychopaths who would rather you or your loved ones needlessly suffer and die, than they have to do without a petty luxury for themselves.

ff15 as a character-driven best friend simulator is amazing and still one of my favorites

I somewhat agree, but in my mind Ardyn was actually the most interesting character outside of Noctis himself (and even more so, at times). The other bros had very well-rounded and believable personalities, but very little in terms of growth, character arcs, motivations, or backstory. They hardly acknowledge grief when…

They’re all separate from each other. Each entry in the main series is in a new world, with new characters, different lore, etc.

Eh, 10 gets a little weird when you find out Tidus is the dream of the Windfish or whatever.

Character models and lighting from 2010 definitely do a good job at slowing down the hype train.

As far as I can tell some games have touch controls integrated and some require a controller. I only tried Minecraft Dungeons, but it had touch controls baked in that worked surprisingly well. 

I hate this character selection trend that Ubisoft is doing. The greatest gaming narratives have fleshed out characters. Not cookie cutter one size fits all shit like this. Does anyone really think Horizon would have been a better game if you could pick Aloy or Alon the male version?  I would very much prefer…
