I know this is a hot take, but why can’t we have titty in games while also treating female employees with respect? Being more inclusive of women in game design and development would probably reduce the objectification of women just by natural evolution.

They see Bandai Namco’s tactics and think “pffft, amateurs.”

Konami: “Stop asking us to make games!”

Step 1: insult subject game and the “kids” who enjoy it.

At this stage in the game, Konami’s entire brand is to be a parody of itself.

Excuse me for my cynicism, but this really feels like those shows like storage wars which were pretty staged, just having sealed games in that filth feels very clickbaity. 

You clearly don’t get the point of the article, they are fundamentally different means of communication. Kinja sucks, but that’s because it’s buggy and actively designed in such a way to discourage proper communication and encourage clicks and ads, the concept is still solid. If I’m reading an article, do you expect…

Look, I’m an avid Discord user, currently very active in one unofficial fan server (it’s a decent size, but split up enough and full of enough lurkers it’s not too busy) and periodically checking in on a couple more when I’m interested. They can be great!

Reading through the complaint, they do not name any specific examples. They simply state that in 2019: “BRAND and KIM were disgusted and alarmed when they began noticing over-sexualized anime figures depicting minors being sold on the US website. Many of these sexualized figures were fantasized versions of underage…

There is no evidence of this at this time. It’s just what these two people allege, though Good Smile denies it. Specifically the complaint claims that they were told by a higher up that Good Smile acquired the website sometime in 2017. This would be after the site was sold to Hiroyuki Nishimura in 2015, so to claim…

Is it though?

it doesn’t sound likely and I can’t find any info to support those claims. also if GSC owned and operated a web site like 4chan it would probably be a crime in Japan since the site distributes uncensored pornography among other things.

This has to be the legal equivalent of a temper tantrum.

Movies used to have this problem, quite some time ago. You know how they fixed it?

The previous Nick crossover game, Nickelodeon Kart Racers (from a different developer) was criticized for this exact reason. Hopefully All-Star Brawl is a bit less cheap with the voices than that game was. I mean, Nick has hours and hours of archived voicework from each of these characters, so there’s no shortage of…

My concern is that the game heavily favors competitive play at the expense of casual play. The lack of items and crazy stages makes everything feel so sedate.

It’s a scam because an NFT is not actually selling the artwork; it’s selling a receipt that absolutely nobody is legally obligated to acknowledge or respect. It’s like if I tried to buy the Mona Lisa, but instead of giving me the Mona Lisa they show me a slip of paper that says “you now officially own the Mona Lisa”…

I think the difference is that most people truly know smoking is bad for them. But they’re just too tired, busy, stressed, or plain old addicted to put in the very hard work to quit. But refusing a covid vaccine is just willful ignorance.

I get your point, but smoking is a little different - the coronavirus doesn’t have a multibillion-dollar industry dedicated to infecting people before they are old enough to decide it’s a bad idea, and the virus isn’t one of the most addictive substances known to humanity. And there is no culture where people are…

I have never smoked in my life, but I can understand people getting hooked on smoking at a young age or while in a stressful job more than I can understand so-called medical professionals deciding not to get vaccinated without a serious reason. If they’re smoking outside, at least the only people they are harming are…
