I love me some cyberpunk, so I’ll have to check this out.

That wouldn’t change if you banned Legendaries, though. You’d still see the same teams over and over. Unfortunately, Pokemon is not a balanced game,most of the 801 Pokemon in the game were not designed to be competitive (like, at least half of them are pre-evolutions or novelties), some strategies are better than…

......And? If “Legendaries” were banned, we’d still see the meta being dominated by non-legendary Pokemon with high base stats. And high base stats are only one part of what makes a Pokemon good. No Pokemon, including a legendary, has a guarantee of being viable just because of its base stats. See: the entire Regi…

Why is it a problem in the first place? You don’t want to see too many Pokemon with... special lore in their backstories? A legendary is nothing more than a Pokemon with a label slapped onto it by the game’s story.

Crying about legendaries is probably the surest sign that someone is a casual who doesn’t know very much about competitive Pokemon.

grimly enduring a half-dozen same-y Bokoblin fights and a couple of dreary, empty shrines, spread across a world I don’t like, rendered in colors that kind of gross me out, in pursuit of what promises—if I Trust The Process—to become a magical and rewarding experience at some unknown point in the future

By that logic, you don’t care about anything in the entire world other than commenting on this article right now because that’s where you’re spending your time.

Where in the article did any of them say they weren’t upset about anything else wrong in this game? They’re talking about that problem because that’s what the topic of conversation is. It isn’t a zero-sum game.

I think the promising and the teasing is what makes the disappointment more legitimate in this scenario. Not only do they have a prior good track record in this stuff, but they continued to cater to progressives who were justified in expecting it would be as good as in past games.

I agree with all of that. My comment was more about pointing out the hypocrisy of the Gamergate crowd, who are characterising the Jontron controversy in a similar way that you described the Alison Rapp controversy.

100% agreed. I did a Major Test of Strength within my first 10 hours of the game, and I had a legitimate 45 minute long Dark Souls experience. When I finally beat it with THREE QUARTERS of a heart left (no joke), I literally jumped out of my chair and pumped my fist in the air. Easily the most memorable part of the…

If you supported Nintendo firing Allison Rapp for making controversial statements but see Playtonic doing the same kind of thing to Jontron as some kind of massive injustice, I’d love to hear your explanation for how this is different.

You got so close.

Damn it. Take your star.

It’s okay. I know how things can get hard to juggle in Kinja. I wish they’d indent comment replies so much.

...what? I deleted and rewrote another person’s comment?

........................Yeah, that’s the point. I guess the sarcasm went over your head. The algorithm is so shitty that it’s restricting videos based on a word being in the title, not based on the actual content of the video.

Actually, the point of the article is that Youtube’s algorithm, even if well-meaning, is doing the usual terrible Youtube algorithm thing and restricting videos that are not inappropriate for children to watch.

Yes, Youtube was justifiably worried about the rampant damaging effects of videos where a guy pets a cat next to a drawing of gay flag
