I see a couple of armchair lawyers trying to suggest your right to take pictures in public is completely unfettered. That is actually not correct.

Have you tried playing it? I’ve been playing for years, not many issues.

These games were actually a big part of my gaming heritage - I had a bunch of them for NES. The combo game with Noah, Mary and Joseph, and David was crazy bizarre and a lot of fun - what other game let's you stack two pigs, a raccoon, and a chicken on your head? Joshua was really similar to Exodus, and actually had…

I actually LOVED the Bible Adventures game for one reason. That fucking Noah game where you had to catch animals. That shit was my jam.

The “I gave you free exposure” bit is the worst in my opinion. Because it isn’t like he tweeted links to the site to buy the mug or included the name of the artist at any point. You can’t claim it is free advertising if you don’t let people know what it really is, specifically not your work but the original artist’s.

Yes, but we still need to call out these pseudo-predatory practices because there will be enough people that get sucked in with the promise of pay only to realize that they get nothing or very little.

a lot of the pro-spec work responses here strike me as coming from people who don’t do design work and haven’t experienced systems like these undercutting wages for the whole industry

I get the feeling the people commenting about how this seems like an overreaction, have not personally had to deal with the severe lack of stability within the games industry, and its ever-increasing reliance on contractors they can dump off at a moment’s notice

this reading is ignoring a lot of context of the situation

The difference is that that Perkins isn’t compiling books of children’s drawings, then turning around and selling them for $60 each.

Normal, no. But more common than is healthy. Where the above is a grey area as to whether or not it’s truly spec work and bad for the industry, what you describe is EXACTLY what is frowned upon.

Fuck them for trying to pull this shit.

Wat? That’s literally what almost the whole article was about!

One thing I love about Nintendo being beholden to no one save itself is that they often don’t mind at all spending money (Sometimes large amounts of it) on weird stuff that would make most serious gamers go “Uhhh...” and sometimes pays off, sometimes doesn’t, but they never seem to regret doing so.

One on one with no items is the most sterile and boring way to play Smash. The game is made to be played with all the crazy items on the strange interfering stages by 4 people at the same time. The game is a Chaos simulator and that’s why it’s fun

Only thing I see to dislike about it is the pricetag, which seems a bit high.

These legendary dogs more closely match the silhouettes of the pokemon that died in the burnt tower, to be resurrected by ho-oh. Seems almost like a metaphor for the beta versions being scrapped for the ones we ended up with.

Because reading is difficult for some:

uh, plenty of new pokemon in every gen wind up in competitive play. your suggestion of more evolutions just happened in Sun/Moon with the alolan variants.

Jesus christ, why are you shouting? They said it’s coming in 2019.
