Not every character in Smash has a voice, but what does, then, fill that void, is good music and sound effects - something NASB is severely lacking, IMO. I’ve been put off by everything I’ve heard thus far because of this fact. It just doesn’t feel finished, it doesn’t have the polish and loving care in design that…

You know you can uninstall it, right? Also, you can tell it not to start with Windows, and only launch it when you need it. Does right clicking the icon on your notification bar, then clicking Exit not actually exit it for you?

I never understood the whole, “make people drive an hour and a half for a job that can easily, consistently, reliably, sustainably be completed from a desk at home” thing. We’ve had good enough internet and communication tools for twenty years now.

- Sony is the lesser of two evils. If you’re going to compromise, then compromise. You don’t have to be active on Facebook, and it’s easy enough to remove Facebook from your phone/lock down your browser. Stop pretending like the places you do business with are a bunch of angels. Very few/none of them are innocent, or…

I know, right? Most of us aren’t going to survive “the end of the world”. People in larger towns can’t even survive a few days of roads being shut down, and/or the local water supply not being actively maintained.

I really like the idea of a card shop that specializes so heavily, you know the staff there know their stuff. That’s pretty important. I can’t stand going into a store, and nobody seems to know anything about anything. While the people at my local card shop are in the know, I just feel like sometimes they’re stretched…

Pokemon League. I went to those for a little bit. There was a book that you collected stamps in, and when you reached certain milestones, you earned a small metal badge for that season’s corresponding gym, or something like that. You got stamps for trading, playing games, winning, showing up, helping other players,…

I’m curious - what kind of layout/design were you expecting? Something more “techy”? More RGB?

So, now it’s not even good enough to actually have plans to make use of something, and be actively working on it - you’ve gotta make use of it and release something within the timeframe that the consumer deems appropriate?

I’m going to be so sad when my CRTs and classic consoles stop working.

More like pup news, amirite?

I WANT A PIECE OF THAT ROCK

PS5 games that don’t required internet access can be played without network access - supposedly you can just pop in the disc and play. That’s fantastic functionality for gamers that don’t have good, reliable internet infrastructure, for troops who want to just sit down and play, for hospital wings that cater to…

Wow?

Surely noone owns the rights to all puppets, and it’s different enough to be its own thing, if not parody. And look at the game’s logo - it’s clearly a parody of the Sesame Street logo. All of this is intentional, and as long as they’re not straight up copying the names, dimensions/likenesses, it’s probably fine.

At this point, I’m angry at 343 and Bungie. They’ve both been major let downs since the split. Neither of their games are bad, but still...

No, to say that nobody but Nintendo should ever be allowed to make Metroid games is tantamount to saying that nobody but Nintendo should ever be allowed to make Metroid games. It means what it means. If you’re going to sit there and inject your elaborate spin on what it means to own something, and why the idea of IP…

Right - this is a form of advertising. And the failure of the thousands that never see the light of day is that they lack effective advertising.

So, you’re saying that these people had enough time and passion to make an entire game almost from scratch, but they couldn’t possibly have stretched out the amount of time they worked on it (another three or four years to draw some stuff and swap out the sprites, write up a story - because it’s not like they have a…

I know Activision Blizzard makes a lot of money, employs a lot of people, and generally makes decent, and even good games.
