It’s starting to become a problem for cosplay contests and I have no clue how you handle it due to concerns over gatekeeping. Probably the best way to start would be adding a rule along the lines of “Must be easily recognizable as a character from a published videogame, movie, television show, or book.” This gives…

It's pretty hard to shoplift due to the amount of sensors being used to figure out if you've picked something up or not. Plus, as people figure out weaknesses in the system Amazon will be able to address them.

For what it’s worth, Corridor Crew touched on the issue of crunch for Sonic, and with the delay the redesign actually had a normal production length. 

I’m sorry, but Chocobo Chick looks like Howard the Duck. The internet is wrong! :p

Yep, this is the likely reason Activision-Blizzard pulled their games.

If I can go back to when the N64 was the new hotness: Ocarina of Time. The first time you leave Kokiri Forest and see this massive field was breathtaking because no game had done something like that before.

For the most part it shouldn't be too terrible given the underlying architecture is x86. Something that wasn't the case for previous generations. Most of the work will be in emulating the operating system and related libraries.

This recent report by Richard Lewis is worth noting:

Prediction: People will realize that style transfer algorithms, despite being a ways off, are going to put a lot of videogame artists out of work.

The best part about the black cat skin is that it's not even representative of lolita culture. So it misses the mark on both counts.

When an author writes something, they often sketch out where it will eventually go. Even if it’s a sketchbook of rough notes. So while the original Star Wars trilogy had no plan, Lucas probably had sketchbooks of ideas and had a general idea of where he’d probably take it.

What did Asmongold do back in the early days of WoW? I’ve seen a lot of his videos where he reacts to WoW history but I’ve never seen any info on what he was doing in the early days.

It’d be nice to link the catalogue so we can see it:

Nice! Preordered :)

Before it was canceled, the plan was to have an Episode Noctis where Noctis and Ardyn team up and take out the astrals. It becomes especially clear after Episode Ardyn that the astrals are jerks.

Amost no one sells consumer level dice that are perfectly balanced. It's actually pretty hard to pull off given the tolerances involved and the only people who actually care are game scientists.

Yeah, Blizzard does have a very specific design. It’s almost too Kerrigan like. Or rather, Kerrigan was designed too much like a succubus.

Well, I’ve got some bad news for you. The demo on the BlizzCon floor plays exactly like the PvE stuff in Overwatch, but with more cutscenes.

The problem with this apology is that Blizzard still isn’t taking responsibility for its actions. Taking responsibility would mean taking actions that would likely harm their sales in China and they aren’t willing to do that.

I also means they can launch the game on PS5 and Scarlet.
