Especially in LA, of all places.

I read it as Nathan commenting on how Skyloft’s visual design looks out of place in Breath of the Wild. I’ve never played Skyward Sword, so I’m just guessing. But regardless, you’re reading it too literally.

This. Games in general are too long and there are way too many games worth playing.

In modern times “palette” doesn’t refer to technical limitations, it refers to the artistic choice to use certain colors. I think you know that and you’re just being intentionally obtuse.

Didn’t know this game existed. I’m curious.

Isn’t “shipping real life people without a shred of evidence” something that celebrity gossip media has been doing with traditional celebrities for decades?

Isn’t this just clickbait? The answer if you’ve watched a single trailer or any amount of the show is “because the sitcom world Wanda is living in is obviously not real.”

Well the games definitely haven’t been monolithic. There were some that followed the Goldeneye model, some that aped whatever shooter was big at the time, like Halo 2 or Call of Duty 4, or Blood Stone which was basically Uncharcted 007.

I would argue that the continued interest in James Bond games isn’t so much about the movies as it is about nostalgia for older James Bond games. Goldeneye being the major focus, of course, but also Nightfire to a lesser extent.

I’m secretly proud that my heritage is being represented here by ground meat and spices instead of other things.

I agree that it’s kinda sloppy, but considering this was a tweet that was probably thrown up quickly on an extremely hectic news day, it’s understandable.

First I’ve heard of this game.

I think this is probably the real answer. The vast majority of the original Xbox’s interesting games were multiplatform (including on Windows), are backwards compatible on modern Xbox consoles, and/or have been ported to other platforms.

Halo Infinite is the new Duke Nukem Forever.

It got yanked because of the media’s constant coverage, not because of issues with the game.

Uh oh, I spoke ill of the big-boy game.

If you are upset by the amount of grease that gets rendered out of your ground meat when you cook it, you can take several courses of action that don’t wreck your pipes. You can buy a leaner beef blend, or turkey, or maybe pivot to beans, or you can drain your grease into a container, let it cool, then throw it…

I’m surprised this article doesn’t mention Cyberpunk at all.

Of course they do. But context matters.

I think in an article that discusses sexual and physical assault, though, perhaps using the word “assault” to describe a legal dispute was insensitive.
