Why were they forced to take it down? Insulting a brutal dictator is perfectly

Eh, people debate which games constitute a “real” metroidvania just as much as roguelikes, so I don’t think changing the terms will solve that. Gatekeepers gonna gatekeep. Moreover, there is legitimate use in describing how heavily a game adapts certain rules and mechanics; the only problem comes when people take that…

“But the plans were on display . . .”

Im always wary about getting into anime dealing with teenagers or kids just cause theyll usually end up nude or in some kind of weird sexual encounter. Hell its hard for me to recommend ‘97 Berserk to friends cause of Casca’s rape scene (honestly dont even know how its legal in the US). So Ive been avoiding…

No, you’ll be openly judged. :)

never stop being gray, dwayne, you remarkably trolly twit:

Once, just fucking once, I want a comic book to have a character be asked about some decorative aspect of their outfit, have them go into this long, dark, harrowing aspect about how was something that was part of their growth into a hero or fall into villainy...

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

They’ll probably just retarget Male-Animation to all male characters, and Female-Animations to all female characters. Add some overrides for old-man-walk-animation and such, and you’re pretty much fine. Oh, and get a dozen or so different voice actors to repeat the exact/near-exact same voice lines, and randomly mess…

I mean, nobody is going to use this that doesn’t consider themselves an influencer (it can’t be a coincidence that the term is only a couple letters removed from influenza), who should bounce themselves handily into oncoming traffic, thus ridding the world of one of the worse elements of the internet.

My second thought (the first being “dear god why?”) was: “which dinosaur....?”

this is the first time the phrase hanging chad has crossed my mind in almost 20 years...

Shit, this looks absurd and yet I kinda want it. I’m way into novelty in gaming these days and I’m a big fan of the thought that goes into the tactile aspects of games (controller design especially) so this kinda feels like it’s aimed at exactly me.

There’s no reason for them to give us a finished product when they can charge full price for each “episode.” It sucks, but it’s the truth :(

I mean, look, if we ignore FFVII as an existing work and just think about this new game as a new story they’re working on, I’m not inherently against the idea of an episodic game set in a big fantasy world.

So, the “starting your own business” thing. It’s definitely not starting your own business. You’re not going to be able to scale up, you’re not going to be hiring employees, you’re not going to be choosing your clients or how to satisfy your clients demands. You’re going to do exactly what Amazon wants you to do,…

for the “gig worker” thing, the part I see Amazon as being too underhanded is the strings attached to the startup money. Sure, start your own delivery business, but you have to lease our vans, wear our uniforms, and deliver our packages. If they give the delivery entrepreneur the autonomy to develop their own…

Great article.
