That checks out! I didn’t know a new game was a possible announcement!

I’m confused why people have an issue with this. If you love Valerie Profile, why would the original game being right there, accessible on your person at all times, be an issue?

Mmm I’m assuming since this is the episode synposis you might see on a TV guide that that isn’t how the episode ends but more likely how it starts.

The couple in the skit is made of their regular cast members though. I honestly think, given the dress similarities, it wouldn’t be a stretch if they just cast the roles from scratch, but it honestly seems like they just had Keenan play the guy because he’s great at the bumbling-but-doesn’t-give-a-crap role. I’m not…

Um, other than both being a black man with a white woman, no. I do not see any similarities, nor would it make any sense to call two of the funniest creatives (and one of the funniest creative couples, no less) in the business a philanderer and a prostitute.

Yeah, Bear and Pie are just the nicknames they gave themselves in the comic. It’s absolutely supposed to be them. The blog post for their first strip even has Fei talking about how strange it is to draw herself into a comic.

Because the guy committing the domestic violence is shown as strong and terrifying and powerful and even the advanced robot has no choice but to run and hide from him or scurry for weapons.

Not only Nintendo Labo, but the exact way Fei would draw Cecilia after transitioning too. Also that Cecilia would transition...

Wow, unless you’re David Cage, it’s SUPER weird for you to take a criticism of the glorification of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE personally.

Wrote three whole paragraphs before realizing I could just sum it up by saying no, David Cage. Nobody wants to see cool robot people scurry out the back or run for a gun to deal with the meddlesome fleshbag who has crossed the line. If we’re going to watch a robot kick the shit out of someone who has it coming, she…

It’s a 4 year old comic.

Ummm... The joke is that Twitch Plays Pokemon invalidates the value of humanity to the AI...

Beautiful.

Nah, it’s way more absurd seeing actual people do this in a suburb.

Ummm, not really? You could swap out any or all of the Persona 5 cast and the overarching PLOT would stay largely the same. The story (I.E. the culmination of plot, character, setting, background, tone, style, etc. etc.) would not be, because a large part of Persona 5's story is focused on the individual characters,…

I mean, I think by ‘story’ they mean ‘plot’. Nier’s plot is a psychotic puzzle to piece together, and even then it was probably its closest competition, Persona 5's plot would be kind of terrible if you took the focus off of the characters and Hellblade, like all (good) Ninja Theory games, is almost entirely about the…

I can live with Horizon winning Story only because Character is a different category and Horizon didn’t have a lot of competition in terms of plot focused games.

Like... are you asking why they wrote it this way, or why T’Chaka did it? If you’re asking why T’chaka screwed up, it’s because he felt intense shame at killing his brother when his brother was only doing what he thought was right.

And showing children in compromising sexualized depictions.

Aaaand P4 came out about 3 years before that.
