How do you realistically solve this problem though? How do they expect animators to deliver ‘quality’ when they’re constantly on the short end of the stick? I take it unionization would just be a pipe dream for them.

No, because Voldo has always been hottest, even since Soul Edge.

LMAO, FAIR POINT

Yeah, a creepy guy in my college dorm had a giant print of this above his bed.  And he was bitter that no young women wanted to date him.  

How is asking how a major oversight happened an example of an indecent tantrum? That isn’t people clamoring to get somebody fired or doxxing. It is just some mild, reasonable incredulity. It seems like you have been wanted to get that rant off of your chest for a while but chose the wrong circumstance to so, resulting…

I think this is the kind of thing that is easy to miss for white people, but I can almost guarantee you a black person in the team would have noticed this immediately.

I always kind of thought that one was a deliberate middle finger to the historical Davis/modern day CSA flag fliers. 

“Crack The Whip,” the text of which begins “Modify a black hero...”

This really is one of those things that it is apparent wasn’t made by malicious intent but you still wonder how no one caught it before.

Fortnite is whimsical though. Characters do not get wounds, there’s no blood. It’s cartoony and silly.

It got some attention, more bemusement than upset. Epic is embarrassed because they didn’t mean for that to happen and it’s understandably attention they don’t really want (specifically because I assume you can understand why they wouldn’t want to be seen as having done it intentionally.) And they’re going to change…

I’m guessing “We programmed it so we could giggle like a bunch of hormonal 12 year old boys during testing but then forgot to take it out again” didn’t make for very good spin.

Are they going ham on the mea culpa because of how wildly popular this game is among kids? Because it’s a little intense for “jiggling boobs in a video game”.

I watched it in my early 20s. I think if I had watched it as a teen, I might feel the same way.

When I was a teen, I thought Spike was so cool. Now, I’m 30, and this show honestly set precedents for all the media I love - I mean, my name here is off of the town on Callisto from CB - and I watched the whole thing and thought, god, you’re ready to die for al this? It was heartbreaking in a whole new way. The…

Well now I have to rewatch this dammit man do you know how long my watchlist is how dare you

I think you’re pretty spot on about how I viewed Spike as a teen vs how I see him now.

I was about to say, “the only way to win is to not play this anticipation game publishers are playing,” but fuck it: I’ll play. Want to charge a premium for playing a game early?

The cost of developing a game has gone up, but the costs of manufacturing have gone down. Optical discs and digital downloads are way less expensive to produce than physical cartridges were back in the day.

So many games to play, so little time, that if you just wait and hit your backlog, you can pay a lot less. I just started Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag this week, after buying it for like $8. I picked up Rogue as well this week, $11 for the Deluxe edition.
