I love how Joy-con drift became a “we’ll fix it in the next console” problem.

Ya....Sonic Team has a pretty long history of sounding super bitter when Sonic games developed in the west do much better then the ones they come up with.  They then double down instead of making the games people actually want.

There’s nothing nostalgic about it. Fun games are fun games. Pixelated games are basically just an art form at this point. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But I’ll be SHOCKED if there aren’t still a bunch of 2D pixelated games in 10-20 years. If anything, you could argue this is the golden age of pixelated…

Good ol’ Sonic Team.

Exactly. They’ll probably reverse this opinion when they see fans once again develop their own 2D Sonic games (which is essentially how Sonic Mania was created in the first place).

Well they are wrong, just like those late 90's/ early 2000's console developers who thought nobody would play 2D games in the future.

Realistically, why would they do that?

Agree, the follow ups just didn’t reach the heights of the first one.

Man I don’t know I have rewatched the OG FLCL numerous times over the  years and IMO it’s still great.  The sequels though have been pretty bad, it’s just had to capture what made the OG one so good.

just kill FLCL already, simply a travesty to watch these half-baked sequels come out

“My latest, and last, film.”

Yep, it's his 7th or 8th final film! I can't wait to see what his next final film will be. 

Funko Pop!(s) as an investment?

This should be illegal. Creating that much waste and probably having to pay close to nothing to dump it, thereby passing the true cost onto everyone else who has to deal with plastics in our food, medicine, water, etc. If you can’t accurately forecast the demand for these trinkets, then you should have to firesale…

“Surely this iteration of beanie babies will have staying power!”

It’s not really “looking for reasons” when Rowling has very publicly made those statements…but this is all spoken like someone who probably has never had to deal with comments like these directed and them. Must be nice. 

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

I actually agree with OP on this. On the main page, without coming into the article, it spoils exactly WHICH pokemon gets a new evolution, which we only know of because of leaks. In addition, if OP has been avoiding press stuff on Pokemon, they might not even know what Farigiraf is, so you’ve spoiled them AGAIN in…

So we’re just spoiling games that don’t come out for a week in headlines and lede photos now?

“initially we were thinking of just DLC ideas, but then we had a lot of ideas and we said, ‘This is too many ideas, let’s just make one new game and start from scratch”
