Acquire wrote it as “KKK” without intending to make a reference to the American KKK, changing it from that is actually a good localization choice. To keep it “KKK” would have introduced a meaning to the phrase that wasn’t in the original language and that the original developers didn’t intend.

“I wanted to make a statement,” localization specialist Tom Lipschultz wrote in an e-mail. “I don’t think it’s right to make any change, no matter how minor, for the purpose of ‘sanitizing’ a game.”

This sounds less like censorship and more like a translator taking liberties that he happens to find funny. And then getting upset when other people didn’t agree with him.

she proved that pregnancy couldn’t stop her from winning her 23rd Grand Slam! I don’t even know what a grand slam is but am certain it’s an incredible feat.

Fucking rad.

This is why the left loses all the fucking time—we demand this kind of ridiculous ideological purity and 100% adherence to all possible issues that affect our broad coalition of leftist/progressive voters at all times. That’s an incredibly stupid, naive way to look at politics, frankly. Did Bernie Sanders fully…

Splatoon is headed by the youngin’s (read: 40-something year olds) at Nintendo. They understand this generation more.

I am also a white, 37-year-old male American and no movies really represent me. I want to see a guy in a movie go to work every day, pick up his kids from daycare and school, and come home and have a discussion with his wife about what they’re going to have for dinner that night because neither one really planned it.…

Not sure how up to speed you are with Star Wars canon, but no, he didn’t.

Admittedly the 20% rise thing is hyperbole and unlikely to happen

I’m not seeing up your logic here; especially with regards to the NES Classic. Nintendo doesn’t see the profits from these scalping sales. Discontinuing the system and then watching eBay prices sky rocket does nothing for them. It also flies in the face of the idea that it is to keep demand high. You can’t sell…

They make some weird decisions but scummiest? C’mon...

I realize they’ve had shortages. God knows I’ve been critical of Nintendo over this as well as other things.

Yeah, if anything, this was a test run for the idea.

They probably expected it to be a fun stocking stuffer that would remind the general public they still existed just before the Switch launch

Except they’ve never increased the prices on any of those things you cite. Yeah they’re terrible at supply and demand but they’ve never just pulled it and reissued the exact same thing at a higher cost.

That’s good discourse, but you are wasting it on MD, because he doesn’t want real discourse, he wants to rant and rave like a grey burner, but use his approved status to act as if he knows what he’s talking about.

lol, k.

That’s cute. You’re cute.

Have they ever done something like that before? It seems unlikely to me that they’d do that.
