No it won’t. Bigoted assholes don’t reproduce asexually when they get excited. Their numbers are static, for the purposes of this election, just like every other constituency in the country. Trump has the racists, misogynists, and homophobes locked up already. His problem is they’re not a majority of the voting…

I’m pretty sure he started running for President as another scam. The way he ran his campaign on almost no money right through the primary, until he’d finally eliminated all his opponents from the field, and the way he’d funnel what little money came in from donors into his owm companies (holding events at his own…

I don’t see why he’d start now. He’s never accepted responsibility for any of his other (numerous) failures.

To be fair, pretty much everyone in the “Trump base” already believed Hillary Clinton was a liar long before Trump entered politics. That’s a narrative that right-wing media has been feeding them for almost a quarter century now.

Actually, F2P games make most of their money off of about 10% of their total user base (so-called “whales”). And something like 60% of the average F2P player never spends a dime on the games they play.

I’m trying to use it on a window-mounted air conditioner, and neither version of the code is working for me. ‘WDEARLY’ returns a “this promotion code is not valid” error, and ‘WDEARLY20’ says “The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.”

I don’t feel particularly bad for that set of people. Their willingness to spend money on stuff like that is their choice, and if that’s how they want to do it, they’ll waste it on something else if this isn’t a choice. I think overall this kind of strategy is likely to serve to broaden the console market that much…

I dunno, if there’s ~4 years between new hardware, and the compatibility is staggered on new software (Shootey-Man 4 works on PS4 and Neo, but Shootey-Man 5 works on Neo and PS5. Shootey-Man 6 works on PS5 and Neo-Beta), that’d functionally put a “console generation” at about it’s traditional length - roughly 7 years.…

Off topic, but as the father of twins that are one of each (though mine are still pretty young, at only 18 months) - I don’t really think boys or girls are actually easier, on average. I think it’s got more to do with their individual personalities than their genders.

Back in the day, the original Neverwinter Nights had a mod community of a similar kind, and it remained robust for even longer than Skyrim’s has. And NWN’s toolset arguably allowed for even more dramatic additions and changes than Skyrim’s - and being a much simpler game, graphically, it was easier to make such mods,…

A fair point. I had the impression when I wrote my original comment that it was actually binding, but you’re right - it’s not legally binding, merely politically fraught to ignore, considering how often Cameron and others in his party promised it would be honored.

See, THAT’S what they should’ve done. Instead of putting out a binding referendum on such a momentous decision with only two choices, they should’ve just put in a 3rd option, “I’m scared/unhappy/bored at the current status quo, but not actually quite stupid enough to think breaking everything is a viable solution to…

Hard to say. I strongly suspect that, had Inafune been permitted to make a game significantly similar to this under the Mega-Man banner 3 years ago, rather than leaving and launching Mighty No. 9 on his own, his development budget would have been half again what he had to work with here (he has said that after various…

Trademarks and copyrights are different things, and don’t work the same way, though it is possible for something to be both copywritten and trademarked at the same time.

There was this moment, right as I started reading your comment, where I actually thought you might be serious. A brief time, where I thought to myself, “is this guy for real?” but then I kept reading, and the sarcasm shone through the haze of my doubt like sunshine after the rain.

I thought the cell-shaded style worked pretty well, myself. Made it feel more like a comic book. Spider-Man 2, the first really good Spidey game, looks really, really blocky and dated now, but Ultimate Spider-Man holds up reasonably well even now.

I said, “quality of the gameplay” not “graphics.” Yes, it looks pretty. The last 4 Spider-Man games also looked pretty, but they all had serious gameplay issues, too.

You know that squaring something is the same thing as multiplying it by 2, right? And that a square is, like I said, literally an exponent?

Eh. Shattered Dimensions was interesting, not great. The 4-Spideys thing was clever, but the game ultimately suffered from being level-based and allowing only very limited web-swinging. Spider-Man is a character made for the open-world sandbox formula.

I am provisionally interested. I loves me a good Spider-Man game, but the batting average is not exactly great there. And this looked like mostly cut scenes, so hard to judge the quality of gameplay - which is where a Spidey game lives or dies every time.
