Not trying to be deliberately difficult here, but when was that? I started using the internet frequently at the age of twelve in 2002... Even then the anonymity problem was very common.

I gotta say as someone who really used to enjoy multiplayer experiences i am also fully okay with more games taking this route.

I remember that. It wasnt as bad as the current model of gaming.

man i got out of PC awhile ago and i cant imagine putting up with this now. My lady and i play tales games and earth defense force, our biggest effort goes into snacks and im way happier with my gaming hobby. Hope you get things sorted with your rig.

Im with you man. I just played ragnarok and im sorry but generating a bunch of pretty images isnt gonna compare to all the nuance that went into what that game had on screen.

THANK YOU! I really cant get over this simple fact about both genshin and to a slightly lesser degree fortnite.... why is everyone so okay with these games when we still clutch our pearls over rap lyrics sometimes?

I freaking love Jojo. I was pretty into prog growing up too so seeing roundabout get a little bit of notoriety is always cool.

the idea that people need to operate at an untouchable moral standard to be taken seriously is exactly the kind of slippery slope all the wierd boomers were warning us about.

then that begs the question. Why you feel the need to attest to this fact?

its more that it should matter to you that youre buying products from a company that is deliberately malicious to its customers because they dont like losing control over something they sell as if they didnt understand how exchange works. Then they manipulate laws and hire lawyers to bully normal people without…

man.... nintendo issues the license.

“legal right” is the bogus shield of the wealthy. If you live in the western economic system then you should know by now that our laws are entirely bought and manipulated by wealthy international industries like nintendo.

UI isnt the same thing as user experience.

Given that we all know the video games industry has a severe issue with access and information policing I gotta say I don’t think any game should be called a critical success.

I dont know if most folks see nintendo as a video game competitor but in my mind sony and microsoft are much closer corporate competitors than nintendo.

well there is the case to be made that while this wont affect the population of their community the makeup of that community is constantly shifting toward younger fans.

So like.... am i the only one that thinks the awkwardness isnt the actor but the fact he has a voice at all?

This assumes everyone’s device is in a similar state after half a decade.

I popped down here to say this specifically but for me it was the joy-cons.

I grew outta pokemon around the time of diamond and pearl but looking back i gotta say BS like what you guys are talking about is the exact reason my fondest pokememories are of pokemon stadium.
