For many people, it’s the FF that was released when you were about 12. My younger brother and I always agreed 6 was the best. When he went to college, he found his classmates were split 50/50 on 6 vs 7, but when he was a senior the freshmen were almost universal that it was either 7 or 8 that was the best.

The headline says “best” not “most popular”.

He didn’t go there to stock the shelves, he went there to make a video.

A couple of years is brief?

You have no idea how big Yokai Watch was in Japan, do you? It wasn’t some low effort thing. It was a full multi-media push to create a franchise that extends past video games, and for a short time it was bigger than Pokemon in Japan.

I doubt Palworld worries Nintendo as much as Yokai Watch did. It had a multi-season anime, the top grossing movie of all time in Japan, and merch, which is where the real money is. It never caught on outside of Japan, and didn’t have the longevity of Pokemon, but it was a multi-year phenomenon.

A car analogy? Here’s a better one: Palworld is selling a complete game in the same way Tesla sells self-driving cars.

Nope, it’s a complete game, and it’s being sold like a complete game. We need to stop using “early access” as an excuse for low quality.

Palworld is buggier than S/V ever were, but you don’t hear the grognards complaining about it.

Stuff like this needs to be left in the comics, along with Spider-Man selling his marriage to the devil.

I have to laugh at “Babbit murder”. That wasn’t a murder, it was a terrorist being put down. I’m shocked she was the only terrorist to be permanently stopped by law enforcement that day.

I don’t think you know what “red herring” means.

I’m really curious what they’ll do with Magneto, because he is one of the only characters tied to a specific historical event - the Holocaust - and unlike Steve Rogers they can’t drop him in cold storage for 60 years. Either they change his backstory, bringing along the baggage of a different atrocity, or he’s super…

That’s why I included the word “good”. If you allow a C-list celebrity to harass your employees and record it for his own profit, you’re not a good manager.

Did you ask them “would you like this celebrity to visit us?” or did you ask them “would you like this celebrity to micromanage you at work and make you the subject of his next video?”

What he did was worse.

Holy hell you do not understand good labor practices at all.

LOL wut?

You’re missing one important detail: he wasn’t there to stock the product. He was there to make a video.

We aren’t talking about somebody showing up to help. We’re talking about somebody showing up to make a scene for his video.
