I’ve seen a theory that the tags are automated/autosuggested.

“Just pointing out hypocrisy” is another way to say whataboutism. Things don’t stop being a problem just because there’s another, similar problem not being addressed.

There’s a pretty common attitude that all manner of atrocities - murder, torture, rape, even war and genocide - are fine as long as they happen to the “deserving”.

Sometimes you see a headline you wouldn’t have randomly predicted, but that also comes as absolutely no surprise.

Would have been nice if the article actually included these characters, instead of just a bunch of links.

If there’s one thing that’s good at moving forward it’s a juggernaut.

It’s because “Marvel bad” is easy ragebait, and has been since the Scorcese thing kicked off.

idk, I’m not even American and the WTC attack feels like a firm dividing line between eras.

I’m convinced that film execs and producers don’t know the difference between a good film and a bad one, they simply see them as the sum of their parts.

Hey now, give them some credit. They took the time to edit me out of the thread :P

They got a bit of goodwill for reviving franchises like DarkSiders and TimeSplitters. Not that it lasted, of course.

It’s for people who see these transactions as investments. They’re not paying for a game, or a character etc.; they’re paying for arbitrary assets that they’re hoping will grow in value (hence the evangelism, they need other people to buy in). They probably don’t see it as spending money at all, any more than those who…

It’s more that it bears mentioning now, as these days it’s a minority of games that do it, as publishers often cheap out and stick half the game in a download (or even the whole lot).

Nah, too much of 7r assumes you played the original.

I will maintain that the original FF7 ought be played before the spinoff or reboot entries. Spoilers aside (as there is in fact more than one plot twist, so even knowing the big one there may be surprises left), it’s a fantastic self-contained story (and one relatively light on filler, too) rather than a middle…

I’d be interested to know what languages they’re using that don’t have at least a couple of date/time libraries that handle this stuff.

Rad!

The recent “rerelease” was just taking the old cards style and art and updating them to the current meta. I also don’t want cheap bootlegs, I want an official product.

I think there was a boxed rerelease of the original set pretty recently, but it’s probably going for scalper prices now.
