I think you're right. I was a dbfz player and a lot of players were doing this with that game. now it's tokon.
I am genuinely convinced most tag fighter fans aren't actually tag fighter fans, they're just UMVC3 and/or MVC2 fans
If a game isn't like those, they complain that the genre was already figured out, and if the game is like those, they complain that they would rather just play UMVC3
it's unwinnable

Japanese companies like Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami are healthier because they have smaller teams, don't have frequent layoffs, and don't pay executives $30 million, says expert www.gamesradar.com/games/japane...

i'm 100% positive you could find a scene from FF7 talking about "lifestream" and "materia" to similar effect
Fire Emblem spoilers, I guess. After 50 hours of propernoun plotslop, this is what broke me. If this doesn't affect you like it does me, then have at it. It is relentless, though.

My takeaway from Wolverine after watching Zack play the first few hours is sometimes even your favorite streamers/reviewers will make negative content about something that's trending "badly" simply because it will net them views. Don't always believe what they're trying to sell you. Try it yourself.

Ed Sheeran’s opener, Aaron Rowe, has dropped out of the tour:
“As Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation…”

There's no neutrality when it comes to genocide. You're either against genocide, or you're an Ed Sheeran.

I'm kind of floored by the notion that John is boxed in, I feel like he finally decided to take control of his own life. Which will make him a better Lantern in the end.
Over at TV Guide I wrote about Lanterns and how it has kept its lead boxed in, just like every character on the show has.

this extends to here too btw twitter is one thing but this place is its own echo chamber of bad faith and moral superiority, some people here are just as mean spirited but just hide it under some guise of being snarky or clever. Its tiring man like we gotta stop being so reactionary all the time
Seeing Gene Park talk about moving on from discussing gaming takes on social media really is indicative of how a lot of people just don’t want to have genuine nuanced conversations about art anymore, people just wanna start an argument or get their funny internet quip in and then move on

I remember seeing discourse about finding the yellow paint in Rebirth silly and not diegetic, and there were a lot of the same people defending it that are shitting on Wolverine now.
Things change ofc but... the clarity to see this was an issue is not Wolverine specific.

Like, 007 First Light had these same problems. Ghost of Yōtei had these same problems. Ghost of Tsushima had these same problems. Guardians of the Galaxy had these same problems. God of War Norse Edition had these same problems. Final Fantasy VII Remake had these same problems. Horizon Zero Dawn had

Macklemore just fried Ed Sheeran on IG 😬

direct violation of the 1st amendment btw, but it won't matter
New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.
Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

You don't have to be understanding towards giant corporations run by the most evil people in the world stripmining every medium of art and impoverishing everyone who actually makes things. They don't make decisions based on material reality and never have, it's just a convenient deflection tool.

Sony has spent 6 years wasting as much money as possible on acquisitions and service slop (yet still having record revenue because of their rent-seeking!) but the moment it seems like it might actually result in a video game coming out they get cold feet? Get real.

They made this deal after Death Stranding 1 was out for a while and DS2 was already greenlit and in development.
But those two games performances are why they cancelled this one out of the blue? Doesn't make sense

This week, PlayStation announced that it had pulled out of publishing Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint. But the company didn't give a reason. So I made some calls.
Here's why PlayStation bailed and why Xbox snapped Kojima right up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
