The monkey’s paw twist is that WoW will shut down within a year because they just laid off everyone who was maintaining it.

They have copyright, what they don’t have is the trademark. Seems pedantic but it is a meaningful distinction

Thinks awards are arbitrary jokes and also thinks that only movies about certain subjects deserve them

Nominating Ken but not Barbie is stupid and fits perfectly with the theme of the movie.

The borrowed design elements are one thing, but there is more and more evidence starting to emerge that at least some Pals are not original assets inspired by Pokemon, but Pokemon assets that have been scraped and modified and recoloured. This is where things could get far more dangerous for them. 

There is a certain degree of mutual exclusivity. There’s a separation between S.Links and main story that I feel is slightly detrimental to storytelling. For instance, persona evolutions in P3 were pivotal character defining moments that you really felt were earned. Past P3, it’s relegated as a reward for spending x…

Even funnier with the last line:

Fully agree that the shift from premier JRPG maker to moody boi/girl (Looking at you Tomb Raider) Action RPG maker has seen the company deviate from the formula that made everything they touched a hit.

It looks like it was made for a 2028 article titled “Remembering Playstation Portal, Sony’s Crazy PS5 Accessory”.

People who are exceptional at one thing frequently assume that they must be exceptional at every thing. To make matters worse, we have a society that does everything in its power to back up this delusion. Then, to make matters EVEN worse, we live in a capitalistic hellhole where people don’t even need to ACTUALLY be…

Well, personally speaking I’m more inclined to dislike someone who’s clearly exploiting people who have deepseated mental health problems than to dislike the people with those problems, so that’s probably part of it!

Range Anxiety, whether real or not, is still one of the leading factors in dissuading people from going electric. Couple that with a charging infrastructure “not ready for prime time” you end up getting what you see now, a slowing of adoption to EVs.  

“The bias has to stop” -someone making an impassioned straw man and working on incorrect information

People saying early Sonic games are all about constant speed are like people who think Star Wars movies are all about lightsabers. Yes there are always lightsabers, but 90-95% of the movie is not that, and you are only remembering it that way because it was the exciting part.

Came here to say this. Even in downtown OKC, unless there’s a Thunder game, a concert of some kind, or in the busy bar/club street, foot traffic is pretty minimal most of the time. Personally, the closest I’ve come to running over people has only been when the pedestrian has randomly ran across the street or…

Man, ignoring all the pervert stuff and just focusing on games, I just don’t get this attitude some people have that Microsoft is gonna shepherd ABK to greatness/right the ship/whatever metaphor. Where have they done that with ANY studio they've bought? And the people who think suddenly old IPs will be revived... when…

Everyone who wished for Bobby Kotick to get ousted from Activision just saw a finger curl on their monkey’s paw.

Here’s the best explanation I read somewhere:

The left joystick usually gets used more. You use it to navigate menus, move characters and so on. The right one just sees less use generally so the components aren’t as worn.

How can anyone be an “actual Starfield” fan? The game hasn’t even come out yet.
