Counterpoint:

Limiting the amount of storage from the factory is a cost saving measure. They could make it 2TB+ from the factory but if that added $100 to the MSRP, a lot of customers would balk.

Mostly it’s because the sexual content in Japanese games that people have a problem with involves either young girls or characters who are technically adults but who act and are drawn to look like underage girls (the whole “She looks, talks and acts like a 12 year old in a “sexy” school uniform, but it’s okay because…

If I had to guess at a reason one is praised while another is criticized—and be allowed to speak in broad, general terms—I would put my money on the idea that one features sex that two people engage in, while another features sex when it has a 12 year old girl trip over her own feet and shove her ass in a protagonists…

This isn’t exclusively sexualizing young girls (not that all JP games are), and the horniness is tacked on as extra instead of trying to be the main selling point.

1) changing cultural mores. Things in the past are certainly different from now. You might also remember western games getting pilloried for sexual content—for instance the now infamous GTA San Andreas hot coffee mod kerfuffle.

She’s a Vengeance Paladin.

Oh good grief. Be a parent and stop blaming other things for your lack of engagement and/or skill. And the only game on that list that can be argued to be targeting children is Fortnite. The others are clearly labeled as targeted towards mature audiences.

This was my exact thought. Did they try to put parental controls to lock out the system? They exist for this exact reason. And if the kid gets around it, then… just get rid of the game/system.

“we got a gaming system to parent our kid and now he’s fat and stupid!” - these terrible parents probably.

As someone in recovery, this coopting of addiction language really pisses me off. This is poor parenting, not “engineered addiction.”

Much like other topic, you’re really gonna wanna disable comments on this. Chuds gonna chud.

To appreciate Karlach one has to experience her, because I’d heard stories and was not prepared for the Karlachness she brings to every situation.

“Pickle Rick” was written by a paid writer that then went on to write these people’s OTHER favorite show, She-Hulk.

Ah man, that was an excellent impression of those cry-babies. You really nailed all the nonsensical talking points they use.

Justin was, apparently, not guilty of beating up his ex-wife, but that is not the real reason Adult Swim (and everyone else) dumped him.

He may be guilty of domestic violence, he may not. But we all saw the texts. The guy is a grade A creep, and groomer, and your coping skills need work 

The domestic violence charges were dropped, yes. I’d imagine the dozens of screenshots and saved convos of him leveraging his position to send inappropriate messages to minors was kind of the bigger deal to the company that makes cartoons for teenagers.

It was such an amazing game. They really dropped the ball on marketing, and also by making it one of the first $70 titles. It should be discussed way more. Outstanding narrative and use of the dualsense. Gameplay was tight, fun, and challenging (I forgot his name but the second boss, the flying guy, can suck an egg).…

“Oh my god, the free stuff I’m getting isn’t the free stuff I want to get. Fucking capitalism.”
