No, 2 decades at least. The SNES is nearing 30 years old and its games retailed at $50-60 USD - which would be more if adjusted for inflation, but let’s say the cost of cartridge production and hardware evens it out with today’s game costs.

As an artist I roll my eyes a lot whenever someone tries to get all high and mighty about someone else’s artistic integrity. The artist decides what’s worth changing to them. If they decided they wanted their gag to come through in another way after hearing about a possible alternative interpretation, that is their…

- You thought a sign in a game was funny because you thought it referenced the KKK, a western hate group, and the humor was derived from the (in game) company being ignorant of the reference.

You are very angry for no real reason. I am glad we’re not friends.

Polite opinion: the vegan industry is a cruel one, too, because it still relies on the exploitation of cheap undocumented workers. There are all sorts of awful working conditions - and environmental consequences - associated with vegan foods. It’s just how things are these days with a large population’s demands for…

While she’s very stylish, what she’s wearing is by no means EGL/gothic lolita. Lolita places emphasis on petticoats under knee length skirts, and most in the community still debate whether “ero” lolita (the closest to lolita 2B is wearing, if I am being extremely generous) even really qualifies as true lolita, rather…

For the TV series for this spring, the shows on this chart that feature adults are: Warau Salesman, Seikai Suru Kado, Berserk, Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul, and Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine. There may be more in general - just glancing at the movies I see Blame! and Biohazard, which also star adults - but I didn’t…

From what I can tell, here’s a breakdown:

1) Faceless “destroying” Delirious’s base consisted of him taking doors down and looting.
2) Delirious claimed it wasn’t even his base.
3) Delirious then “retaliated” (for Faceless looting a base that wasn’t his?) by finding the base - on a private server - that made up the…

I didn’t say anything at all about my opinion on circumcision, and you have no idea if I think it is fine or not.

If you’re angry about it - as you clearly are - nothing is preventing you from politely speaking up and informing people. I have no idea why you think it is my job to speak up for something you are passionate about. Take personal responsibility. It seems like you are more interested in making angry assumptions about…

Anyway, regardless of which you meant, perhaps you should examine the context in which the conversation was taking place. It was in response to someone talking about adding FGM to the game, and I provided context for which someone would have an issue with it. You are more than welcome to be productive and add context…

Are you talking about castration or circumcision?

Huh, did I say I opposed it being added to the game? Hmmm... I don’t see where I did... in fact my first sentence says the opposite. It’s almost like I’m just helpfully informing people why some folks out there might find such content upsetting. Promoting empathy and all that jazz.

Listen, I’m actually totally for having similar mutilation available for female enemies, but female genital mutilation is actually still practiced regularly today. It’s not something from a bygone era like castration is - girls and women are still subjected to it. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/ So…

Based on what I’ve read, I disagree. I don’t think we are being entirely altruistic and efficient with our world work and it could be better, but also: if the US is no longer out there being an intimidating force, countries who would like to develop nukes and other WMDs will have the freedom to do so. And there are…

I used to think like this too. To be short about it: if America pulls out of being a world power to focus on “getting its affairs in order,” the world will shit itself and it will take America with it. Peace is a tenuous thing, and the US having a global presence of power is extremely vital. Read more about our role…

Oh. I’ve been a little slow on Pokemon because of holiday business, and had no idea Wicke was a villain. Was that really necessary to put in the title? Damn, I’m sad now.

“a writer confirmed it was, in fact, a kiss” - that is the creator of the series and main writer as well as occasional director, not just “a writer.” She says it was a kiss, it was a kiss. Also this article disappointingly does not touch on the differences of audience expectations in the west compared to Japan. Most…

Short answer: it’s actually not an acceptable word.

I do sincerely love this haunting cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Regina Spektor for the movie Kubo and the Two Strings.
