I can accept the premise that Ashley in the 2005 original was little more than a gameplay feature, and her characterization is not deeper than that. It was a fault, but a fault of its time.

I don’t see the problem with her in this remake.  She starts out very much afraid and unconfident, as she should be since she’s an untrained young woman going through a severely traumatic experience.  And then through the small actions she takes she’s able to gain back some of that confidence and sees Leon as someone…

shut the fuck up you halfwit nazi chud, nobody is playing your dumb fucking game with that shit

No law passed by republicans is meant to protect the people. Not a single one. If they happen to, it is entirely incidental.

Still can’t believe the elected that smokey-eyed suckabee

Nothing deflated my interest more in this game than hearing about “Skill cards” I will never understand the desire to insert deck building/card mechanics in games where it doesn’t belong.

Of course, conservative finger-waggers don’t care about context or what art actually means. They just want to ban things they don’t understand under the pretext of shielding children.

Pull manga, but not the fucking guns.

I mean... that’s Mario? He’s the safe, sanitized Mickey Mouse mascot made in a Nintendo lab. There hasn’t been an ambitious Mario game since maybe Super Paper Mario? And yeah, it’s a kids movie. There’s references and jokes that will make the parents chuckle, but that’s it.

The movie is directed at children. If my kids love it, and they will because Mario, then it’s a winner.

People expecting the next Whiplash or LOTR will be severely disappointed.

People are talking like the Super Mario movie has to be the next Citizen Kane to be good and forget that its Mario.  It was fun, enjoyable, light popcorn faire, which is all it had to be.

Really the idea of a magical hat deciding the trajectory of your entire high school career based off whether it thinks you’re a Hero, a Nerd, an Asshole or too boring to fit into the other three is a fucked system to start with.

Nintendo: Has the best selling console.

I hope those 2 fans get what they want, but I didn’t realize the Sony handheld market was that small.

It’s. About. Integrity. In. Games. Journalism.

Anyone who uses the term “woke” to downplay something has typically been unable to actually give me a definition of what the word even means. They just don’t like it, so therefore it’s “woke”.

This world is becoming dumber, I swear..

I’d bet good money that Disney has had this specific action ready to go for decades. Just one of many contingency plans for various possible eventualities.

Holy shit, I can’t believe I’m seeing the Rule Against Perpetuities used in real life, and reported on in a Kotaku article no less! It was the bane of many a first-year property law student and has been abolished or replaced with something slightly less nonsensical in many jurisdictions. Nice to see it’s alive and…

Even if this does go to the Supreme Court, that’s a year or two down the line.

What’s even dumber is he’s going to “investigate” the move...just walk away, man. You got your “W” with your handpicked board of friends. You already took a victory lap. Just let your buds meet up for a nice dinner every once in a while, act like they’re in charge, and everyone goes about their business.
