Dude, name one point in the story where something happened to her that was her own fault.

That’s fair. I guess I was too hung up on the disjointed horror tropes, trying to piece together what was supposed to be going on in the story. I thought the “only-girl-at-LAN-party” theme was supposed to be the setting, rather than the whole point.

Objectivists never seem to understand the role spite plays in the world.

This is what makes a good Metroidvania: the upgrades you receive are not mere power upgrades or keys, they’re tools. I’ve been noticing this all the more playing Samus Returns. The wave beam is a damage upgrade for your beam, but that’s more or less negated whenever the enemies you’re up against have greater health…

Maybe magic is something that anyone can do, but it takes a dozen years of work for even the most exceptional individuals to come up with a single spell. Daruk was the only one to have a kid, so he was the only one able to pass his learned spell on to the following generations.

Perhaps it’s more that eventually, Miyamoto would have eventually found just how deep that rabbit hole goes, and since it’s a parody account, we don’t have to worry about that.

As everyone said, it releases later this year. Usually there’s ~5 months between when a game is completed and when it gets shipped, for marketing, manufacturing time, and shipping, etc.

I think the complaints are misguided, but I understand the sentiment. The outcome was fair to both sides, but I think the real issue is that so few of Team Ketchup’s matches actually contributed, so it feels like players were cheated out of their agency towards the splatfest. What needs to happen is they need to…

Oh great, something new to be worried about... :/

I generally go for a handshake when meeting someone new. I’ve found women will frequently not meet my grip, as in, they’ll put their hand in mine, but any gripping is purely on my end. When that happens, it gives the sense that they aren’t comfortable gripping hands,…

While I think the process is BS, isn’t that how SF games work? Release a new game, retuning physics, combos, and add a new mechanic or two, then rerelease every year or so with more characters, stapling “Super”, “Ultra”, or “Hyperbolic” onto the title.

I’ve got to agree, keeping the ol’ paper and eraser shavings. This is cool in that it’ll help get more people into D&D, those that initially find it daunting. However, my experience in substituting paper for screens is that players will inevitably get distracted doing something else, breaking the stream of their…

I’m not convinced the characters played a big role in the numbers. I have 5 friends who did not play Splatoon, and haven’t really followed Splatoon 2, that I played the Splatfest with. When I told them they have to choose ice cream or cake, I got the question of “does pie count as cake?” but otherwise they…

The thing is, everything TAS does is technically possible for a human to do, it just requires timing the likes of which devolves into luck. If a speedrunner tries enough, they’ll get the trick eventually, they just won’t be capable of performing the trick consistently. With categories of Human-Run and Machine-Run,…

Ugh, people throw around the expression of developers being “lazy” way too often lately. That they didn’t give Max Brass a separate final boss isn’t lazy, as it requires effort outside the scope of what they were releasing. “Lazy” would be releasing Max Brass without implementing his signature gloves on other…

Lawful Good is certainly a straightforward alignment, and that using it makes it easy to make the character boring. For the character’s reactions to become rote though, the setting must also be straightforward. Putting a lawful good character in a society where lawful good thrives will obviously fail to create…

In ARMS, theoretically all you need to do to stop a grab is throw a punch between the two hands being thrown towards you. When throwing a jab, you can curve your punches left and right of a particular point. This point is more or less centered on your opponent, but locks to a degree when you throw a punch, unlocking…

Were it only so simple. As a retelling, the story could contain elements of previous tellings. Just because Ganondorf was Gerudo in OoT doesn’t mean separate story doesn’t also have Ganondorf as a Gerudo.

That said, Nintendo already canonized the timelines in Hyrule Historia, so I don’t think the “retelling” theory…

Ranked online requires beating level 4 GP. Party online you can jump right into. I don’t really get why people would want to play ranked before they’ve got a handle on the game, though.

Did Nintendo ever say they were planning Virtual Console for the Switch? You say they’re lying about never having planned it, but what I remember is people getting angry at Nintendo for not having anything to say about a Virtual Console on the Switch.

Because microphones take up space, and a large portion of the userbase would never even use it.
