Dammit, Barry!

Disney thought the nazis would win the war in 1971, the year cinderella’s castle was built?

NLRB complaints aren’t about working conditions. They’re allegations that an employer has somehow violated an employee’s/employees’/union’s right of protected concerted activity.

Where does it say Kotaku assumes it’s bad working conditions at Nintendo?

No. Hanns Scharf was indeed an interrogator for the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) during WWII, but he was never a member of the Nazi Party and so wasn’t a Nazi. That might seem like splitting hairs to Americans (who likewise thought all Soviets were Communists rather than just actual Communist Party members), but…

Where does it say that? This story is just “Someone complained about Nintendo. This seems to be a trend, because here are several other places where employeed also complained.”

Also, if the (disconnected) higher-ups are still pushing for NFTs and such. A thorough survey through all the proper channels isn’t a bad way for the more “in-tune” low-lever workers to present “This is a stupid fucking idea, please do not do this, our customers will hate it” to leadership.

There’s no long range plan in NFTs that doesn’t require magical thinking. In the short term there’s a lot of money to be scammed out of people’s pockets, and that’s why even executives that reject NFTs are pretty noncommittal about it.

I mean, yeah, I’d rather game companies go to efforts to take the temperature of their communities before trying to get involved in predatory, scam-riddled business plans.

if you are a game company still looking to get into NFTs in April 2022, when most markets are collapsing, its biggest game not only lost millions to a hack, but also has a bubble popping, and even comparable competitors are announcing the sheer failure of their “blockchain” shit, well... you are something else.

I have been thinking about this for some time.

Easy mod user here and I couldn’t disagree more. It’s with the mod that I’m finally having fun with the game, much more than I had before. Now I’m finally thinking about what area to explore next and what enemy to tackle next. I’m actually looking forward to playing the game now when I have some time.

What everyone who says dumb shit like this doesn’t seem to understand is that not everyone has has the same ability. If you only hit your dodge rolls half as frequently as the average player, halving the damage you take from the enemies means you still have to make roughly the same number of attempts. The perceived…

Sarcasm?  I’m afraid I have to ask because there are people that would unironically say this.

Also...let’s not pretend that there aren’t weird gatekeepers in From fandom.

It’s not some ethical problem to do these mods, but occasionally the implication that comes through in discussions about an “easy mode” is that the difficulty of the game is all about gatekeeping who can play and has no bearing on things like the themes and even the plot itself the designer is trying to convey and I…

Why is it that FromSoftware die-hards are so intent on making their games out to be some sort of transcendental experience? The “experience” of playing Elden Ring won’t be tarnished (pun intended) by someone else wanting an unofficial easy mode.

Is it really a good thing that the base game doesn’t have a way to tune its difficulty?
