What?

The corporate calculus is simple:

The thing about Charles Martinet is I don’t think his usual performance is something I’d want to sit through for 80 minutes.

Seriously, I’m not a Pratt fan by any stretch, but the hate jerking for clicks on this shit is getting old. It’s fucking fine.

I wouldn’t call it child’s play. Re-keying the facial animations to a different voice actor is a TON of work. The facial animation rig is much more complicated than a body rig for this kind of project.

Seriously we need to stop this idea that Charles Martinet would be a good mario for 90 minutes. He does a fantastic job with the short quips and reaction lines but god if you hear him trying to do long form mario it is just grating and awful.

HE’S FINE! Just wait till April to see the whole movie to pass judgement.

“Back to the tolls and traffic cameras, it’s not petty. In 2021 that plate racked up $2k in traffic violations in Brooklyn and Queens.”

Yes, it is petty, and no, this guy had *NO FUCKING IDEA* that the car had racked up a single penny in violations.

Also? NOT HIS FUCKING JOB.

Also? NOT HIS FUCKING PROPERTY.

I hate scofflaws just as much as anyone, but this was petty bullshit.

Here comes another condescending American who either failed to read or failed to grasp my comment.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying you shouldn’t make yourself a moral arbiter if you’re American.

My argument is that there’s this bizarre compulsion from Americans to vet the media from around the world and imperiously grant it a seal of approval or disdain.

“I don’t think the Americans should be moral arbiters for the rest of the world.”

The flip side of “There’s dragons and orcs, why can’t there be Black people? This is a made up story and doesn’t represent reality, you can do whatever you want!” is “There’s dragons and orcs, why does there HAVE to be Black people? This is a made up story and doesn’t represent reality, you can do whatever you want!”

Like come the fuck on. That’s not even a “tip”, it’s “Use the thing they just gave you for exactly what it tells you to use it for”. FFS Zack, you could douche this up a LOT more but that you slipped that in there for the seemingly “fuck of it” surprises me (but  it shouldn’t).

This was legitimately distressing to see on an article titled “23 tips BEFORE playing the game.” Really upset with Kotaku

New weapons in God of War are always part of the fun and surprises in the game/story. Thanks for spoiling a spear is one of those new weapons we’ll get this time around, and that it’s obtained late in the game -_-

WHY did you have to name the late game weapon in your ‘tips before you play’ 😩

I’d argue against boss fights being completely skippable, just because they’re generally a pretty impressive spectacle that the devs put a lot of work into.  All for adding easy modes for people, though.  Hell, full invulnerability is fine for all I care.  More options are always good.

I imagine a big difference is whether something is annualized or not.
