There’s an interesting discussion about this practise. By using the alpha channel of a texture to define edges you are now using textures in-place of real geometry (hair is the major example here, but lace clothing is another).

I’ve explained it here; http://kotaku.com/if-you-want-a-technical-explanation-for-this-it-s-a-re-1791957899

If you want a technical explanation for this; it’s a rendering error, rather than a “glitch”.

Basically yes. That’s my understanding. The system contains your account data which contains your digital licenses. The eshop checks this to see what you’ve purchased. But none of it happens on Nintendo’s servers.

If I remember correctly, one unit of a low-value good like coal is basically worthless. Even thousands together wouldn’t amount to the loot of a couple of beginner missions. The annoying alerts the player will receive from thousands of tiny gifts will send the correct Grinch-y message here.

I started D&D on the first edition when I was twelve. I happen to be female. It was our habit to draw a representation of our characters and use them as screens so that other players couldn’t see your notes / character sheets. Myself and the other female player always drew our characters (not well) in the usual half…

These things are massive in the game. The newly revamped NPE missions really show the colossal size of these things.

I originally had a snarky response ready to go, but using the Enterprise as a unit is actually pretty brilliant

The Galaxy-class Starship Enterprise D is roughly 2/3 of a kilometer long (642 meters). So a 15km citadel is about 23 Enterprises lined up end to end.

Could we maybe get a real unit of measurement, like miles, to compare?

Please don’t forget that unlike a lot of the other villains, Guzma actually has a sort of real and sad backstory. You can go to his house in the game (Melemele Island, Route 2, near the Motel), look in his old room, etc. The whole house has a ton of hints towards a (drunk?) abusive father, failed dreams, etc. Also,…

While fans would argue there’s more to the series than endless murder

At $149.99, it’s ridiculously overpriced for PC users. There are much better options like the Logitech G13 or the Razer Tartarus.

Yes you can use any mouse with it and it works natively on Windows.

I didn’t like the fact that you just stayed in your ship most of the time.

Yup. Here’s an example from Doom 64.

It has been 9 years since I deployed to Iraq. I spent 15 months there doing convoy recovery. Since I got back I’ve dealt with at times crippling PTSD, and about three years ago my therapist recommended I try playing a more realistic war game, as it apparently helps many people (though honestly I don’t know how). At…

I prefer to say it’s Latias because it’s stupid fun to say that Ash made out with a Legendary

That being said, he did not get to keep a “Gen 7” jersey.

I cannot confirm nor deny these allegations.
