I find it hard to believe that people’s incomes are tied to driving a truck around and selling children ice cream.

I also find it hard to believe peoples livelihoods are tied to handing me a burger and fries when I’m hungry. It’s a form of entertainment and a job so It doesn’t surprise me at all.

Why is it any harder to believe than any person in any medium of entertainment making a living doing it? I don’t get why people are shocked that people make money entertaining people.

I loved this series. The sun thing could be annoying sure, but like you said you mostly only needed it for boss battles. Also there was a sort of spiritual successor (Wikipedia says it’s technically fourth in the Boktai series though) called Lunar Knights for the ds that was Kojima. Doesn’t need sunlight or anything.…

While Boktai 3 didn’t release in the west, the fourth part of the series, Lunar Knights, did. It didn’t use a daylight sensor though, but it was still a pretty good game.

I loved this game. Playing outside was never much of a hassle - though if the weather was too hot or you didn’t have a nice way to view the screen. I used to sit at my mom’s work outside after school and play in the park while I waited for her to get off.

This may be true for YOU and YOUR political views, but there are plenty of people out there who aren’t on the fringes of politics and prefer a more centrist, moderate approach. There is nothing wrong with wanting, say, pro-choice rights for women, marriage equality, AND lower taxes and smaller government.

I hate that my new grocery store doesn’t have self checkout. I can be in and out in no time and I can pack my bags in an efficient way vs getting a million bags

In all likelihood, no chance you get a substantive response from any Kotaku staffer on this. Stating or even implying that there was anything good about AM2R could get them blackballed by Nintendo, and there’s nothing here worth risking that.

I think you forget there’s actual people behind the social media team, apart from the company itself. Many of the more “humanized” brand accounts are that way because the higher ups let the (typically very small) social team do whatever they want. It’s not a weird creepy brand trying to seep into your mind- it’s…

As nice as that would be, that just opens the door to data mining once someone figures out how to capture the download, probably.

The Melee community really needs to get over themselves. No, Nintendo is not going to create tournaments or support a 15+ year old game they no longer make. No, Nintendo is not going to allocate a portion of their current manufacturing capabilities to create parts for a 15+ year old console. There’s so much work…

Well this is the biggest eye roll of the day.

I personally couldn’t care less about console accounts. Nobody pays attention to your steam achievements or xbox account stuff. If I can’t show it off IN-GAME, it doesn’t matter to me.

Poor Firaxis

I think he mostly means that it seems a little wasteful to devote all sorts of creative energy to building a bunch of interesting characters with compelling personalities and potential story arcs, then do nothing with them outside of a (online-only?) comic that very few people will read. Not that the game itself needs…

Would it be good for Smash as an e-sport if Nintendo pushed it? Maybe. Probably. Nintendo has no experience with e-sports though. They are obsessively controlling of their properties, though. If they really dove in to the smash pro scene I think the current smash scene would be scrapped. It would be transformed into…

Gothic Ribbon Girl is bae

Oh please Jason, we all know you’re the one delaying the Virtual Console on purpose.

Yeah but it gets hot as shit in the afternoon!
