Looks like Kamiya got a little too combative on Twitter

Of those two I feel like it has to be the latter. I would think his death would’ve drawn enough attention from westerners who know Japanese that details in Japanese language news coverage wouldn’t have gone under the radar.

Especially since this game is basically a clone of the Avengers game, which did the exact same thing with Captain America.

I can understand the confusion. A lot of the most well-known indie games use a retro art style and it’s not so obvious what “indie” is an abbreviation of. If someone’s not at all into video games, I could see thinking that “indie” means 80s/90s style 2D games.

I doubt there is a standard practice. The vast majority of tattoo customers will never be in a position to monetize their own likeness and because of that, this isn’t something the vast majority of tattoo artists ever have to deal with.

I try to too, but unfortunately the SEO of the Fandom sites sometimes drowns out the unaffiliated site to the point of killing it. Grand Theft Wiki split off from gta.wikia.com a decade or so ago, and I guess it didn’t have a strong enough community because huge swarthes of it haven’t been updated in years, while the…

While we’re on the subject of recycled sound effects, does anyone know the source of the one used in this old James Bond game around the 0:53 mark?

I remember it getting a lot of attention because the Obama 08 campaign bought in-game billboards.

This is such a weird take.

The word “GIF” and how its used is a really interesting example of how technical terms change meaning over time.

In the US we’re most familiar with Mexican-style chorizo, but chorizo can refer to a lot of different sausages. It’s possible she’s talking about Spanish or Portugese chorizo; I don’t know what’s popular in Ireland.

For some reason I was under the impression that this was a live service game, and I didn’t realize it wasn’t until I saw this article.

They did the same thing for Election Day in 1996. The clue was what the next day’s headline would be, and either “CLINTON ELECTED” or “BOB DOLE ELECTED” would work. It was controversial because of course people assumed only one of those would fit the puzzle.

Didn’t the plot of Sonic Adventure 2 involve Sonic being framed for bank robberies?

IIRC, the Big Mac started out as a ‘menu hack’ by one of the franchises.
