I’m a fan of Aunt Robin in all her forms, even if her appearances in the MCU amounted to “Uh, anybody want to do anything with this character???”

That was my reading of it and after watching the trailer it sure as hell looks like it’s mostly CGI so I dunno.

Jeez this poor guy only ever wanted to start a burger business and now that it’s gotten big this happens to him. Well, at least he’s got that up-and-coming streaming career to fall back on.

Yeah I think if they don’t support Switch BC it’ll be like shooting themselves in the foot but if they don’t carry over the NSO apps with the full available library to the next system on day 1 it’ll be like shooting themselves in both feet and also pratfalling down a well.

Wasn’t that because it literally had PS2 hardware inside of it (similar to the Nintendo solutions that Hadrian brought up above)?

And the Switch didn’t support Wii U (even digital games) and nothing before the Wii had backwards compatibility support. If we narrow it down further to digital license transfer things start getting pretty unfriendly to users pretty fast.

Because the only time their consoles were backwards compatible was the GCN to Wii transition and the Wii to Wii U transition. They four transitions before that and the Wii U to Switch transition had no backwards compatibility support.

Yeah, I remember the Playstation having a lot of charm and what I did enjoy what little I played of it but I need to try the re-release. I was telling somebody else that I’m pretty sure I already picked up the PSP version when Sony was threatening to shut down the PSN store for those consoles so it’s just a matter of…

Yeah I’m pretty sure I actually own the PSP version but haven’t played it. (If I remember correctly I picked it up when there was news that the PSP store was going to be shut down.)

I agree that Final Fantasy Tactics does feel a bit like a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, but I do remember Tactics Ogre also being pretty good, albeit slightly more frustrating than FFT.

Huh I don't think I've heard of Fae Tactics but I'm a sucker for weirdly minimalistic takes on established gameplay conventions.

I am desperately hoping that they do the smart thing and support backwards compatibility despite the fact I'm pretty sure they won't.

When this rumor started going around I remember trying to track down the source of “Henry Cavill is leaving because the writers don’t respect the book” and at best it seemed like everybody was citing the same one anonymous source. Everything since then has just been self-propelling momentum.

Anybody who has drawn a regularly updated comic: “Yeah, I get it.”

Yeah I think that’s a great way to put it.

I don’t doubt there are dozens of indie RPGs out there with mechanics for having sex (and I’m sure there are lots of very interesting takes on the matter) but it’s still wild to me that Apocalypse World - basically the granddaddy of so many indie RPGs in the last several years due to the Powered by the Apocalypse…

The thing is, even if these deaths are temporary, they're still showing everybody graphically killed. It might not "matter" in the end but it's still happening and from my perspective isn't something I find particularly enjoyable.

I honestly thought the show was fine - it even had some genuinely fun and good moments here and there - but never quite hit the highs I was hoping for and then that last episode was just a whole mess of nothing, which has made me feel a lot less positive on what came before.

This isn’t exactly a hill I feel like dying on today, but I would argue that nothing has retconned Agents of SHIELD at this point.

Yeah I was saying it even when Falcon and the Winter Soldier had just finished: there’s nothing in this show that couldn’t be summarized pretty quickly in the first five minutes of Captain America 4.
