Truth. Abs and butt or nothing. 

Adapting it to another fantasy world? People do it all the time. If you want to play a forgotten realms module in Eborron, you have to adapt it. I know tons of people who run 5e anime worlds or sci-fi worlds. The thing about 5e is that the systems are modular, so it's not too hard besides changing the text and flavor.

10 bucks says they adapted it for a home game and presented it as their own, then once their specific players enjoyed it, they got their head so far up their own ass they thought it wouldnt matter.

Its definitely weird. Not a huge fan on the whole squeaky fanboys get the wheel philosophy we're getting these days. But this game does seem to be catered to those exact people.... So there's that....

I was made deeply uncomfortable by the whole plotline. It felt like people who neither understood anxiety, depression, or the struggles with body-weight writing it. Like seeing college athletes put on fatsuits for greek week. Just tone-deaf.

Are we in an era where screenshots of text are no longer trustworthy? Perhaps an unrelated question as we don’t know why he was cleared yet. But I would say, yes, yes we are. Screenshots of text were always forgeable, and it's not that hard.

Gonna disagree. I think i good old fashion, bow out isnt a bad thing. Many times a large skill difference between your opponent and you can actually PREVENT learning, and the piece of the education that is missing is time in a practice room, and understanding of game mechanics. Which you dont learn mechanics by…

Interesting how this was a major complaint in the comments about the Anthem article, and now youre putting basically a disclaimer in the article. Beating the critics to the punch Jason? ;)

Im sure youve noticed by but Bioware responded to the article. Claim the article unfairly targets individuals. 

Kotaku really needs to let someone else handle the smash articles. Youve proved multiple times that you don't accurately represent issues in the smash scene to the audience, and instead flavor them with a bias of how you think fighting games should be played, marginalizing issues in the scene as petty rather than…

Is it real cork? Because that shit is going extinct.

You really managed to stir the pot with this one by not reporting any of the pertinent info of why a simpler resolution couldn’t be resolved. Whats hilarious is if you guys had just farmed reddit for your info like usual, you would see that most the community is fine with what Mars did, but not fine with how the TO…

Pausing was disabled. And he tried. Ref was in the back, not paying attention to the set. The juvenile part was not telling his opponent he was gonna get the TO, but it was in his right to do so. 

Smash winnings are a joke. Only like 2 players make a “living” just playing and everyone else has other jobs. A closer comparison sport level would be competitions like Judo or Taekwondo.

The reality was there were rules in place for this. They werent being enforced because the TO wasnt there. Whether or not you think they should have thicker skin or not.

The community mostly agrees, but not for the final resolution. The TO wasnt present and pausing was off. So normally, a player could call the TO over after the first couple shouts to complain, and the TO would ask the player to stop or leave. Couldnt happen, player got tilted and panicked. The other player got back…

It has happened in basketball. Theres a famous story about the couch telling his players to leave the field, and telling the ref that if the crowd didnt calm down, they werent coming back out and were just going to take the loss. The refs wanted to game to go on, so they got the crowd to calm down.

In smash, while the player is on the spawn platform, its a long standing rule that they can pause to call over an isse. The TO was in the back and pausing was disabled. Its not as simple as that. 

He was calling out the move the player was doing an instant before he did it, loudly. In a 1 v 1 event all about reads and reactions, its a big deal to have an assist. 

Litterally paid for their sport when most these people are hobbiests who make next to nothing spending their own money to travel to tournaments? Yah, them having their sport as their profession might have something to do with it relatively.
