Kishimoto said it was because they were “easy to empathize with” because “they represent human weaknesses.” Rock Lee is one of the few Naruto characters who can’t use ninjutsu. Sakura, in Kishimoto’s view, was “physically weaker than the others” because she was a girl.

Forgot the /s on that last paragraph.

RE4 Remake removes a crane game; FF7 Remake adds one. Two very different approaches to classic game remakes (whether they add or remove a crane game).

Resident Evil 2 and 3 take place on the same day, so... technically correct.

I literally couldn’t figure out what it meant. Thanks for the clarifying alternatives.

This is some big “Quiet breathes through her skin” energy.

Well her politics also want to take us back to the time of 40 year human life expectancy, so a 36 year old grandmother checks out.

I’m not sure why you started your comment with “no” because I 100% agree with you.

Yes, “liberal” in the actual definition of the term (rightwing supporter of capitalism), not the way the US often uses it.

“That’s when they turned into a real country.”

I had a similar experience. There will be a new one every decade. At first it was “oh, the games I played as an adult are what this person played in grade school”, now it’s “oh, the games I played well into adulthood are the games that came out before this person was born”. I’m not looking forward to the next one.

I had to stop reading io9 entirely, previously a daily visit, because there's no chronological sort. The default layout is just unusable.

But the most important question of all: can I still do a pixel-perfect jump exploit to get the high jump boots at the beginning of the game?

Apologies if I was too hard on you. I’m used to this talking point coming from chuds - “it’s EVERYONE who gets harassed like this, there’s nothing special or different about the harassment women face”, leaving the obvious implication that women must be weaker or something if they are the ones complaining…

Too bad TDM is a shitshow right now. There’s no penalty for leaving so the moment one team starts losing people start bailing en masse. And there’s no time limit, only a kill limit, so the winning team has to be play hide and seek with the one person remaining on the losing team, or bail themselves. And if everyone on…

Oh right. Women don’t face a disproportionate amount of hate online, they must just suck more or something. They are just inherently complainers or something like that. Couldn’t be that they are seeing something that you aren’t.

Stackman over here learning about Capitalism for the first time. The people who did the work are not the ones who get paid - it’s the already rich overlords who do.

Fucking terrifying.

Hoo boy, the straights are bending over backwards here, spending multiple paragraphs proving Sisi right. Hilarious.
