Wow, how dare people earn a living while running charities! It's not like running a business takes skill, experience or knowledge... oh wait. It's not like a charity wants to attract talent... oh wait.
On the paying people less than minimum wage question... have you even considered that some people are completely unemployable because they don't have the skills to create enough value for an employer to even make them worth that much? This law doesn't PREVENT any employee from making more money - if these disabled workers could find better-paying work, they would. This law helps them find work at all where otherwise they couldn't earn anything.
Oh that is 100% Johnny Cee's, how cool! I don't live in Wausau now but I grew up there and I get back a few times a year and usually go to FNM. Those are the tables they use, they have boxes of loose comics over on the right and posters of the MTG dual lands up on the right by the windows.
I can see that. TWEWY is my favorite game of all time, I've beaten it a few times and tried to 100% it twice but both times when I got into the 99%+ range I didn't quite make it (the second time my son unintentionally deleted my game...) I had a blast playing the demo this weekend. Seems to translate well so far, although my old brain is slowing down I can't process everything that's happening in fights.
Never played it the first time (no wii-motion plus controllers), so excited for this. Why am I not loving the graphics tho? I'm a huge fan of Twilight Princess, including the overall visuals, but I look at this and go bleh.
As much as this is the first amiibo I might actually be interested in getting, I'm still not going to buy it because I don't want to encourage this behavior.
@RobHughes Why? You can play it just fine right now, and as huge of a fan of PSO games I have been, this is a pretty bad game. It's just a barfy kludge of FTP microtransactions and 8 million confusing mechanics.
Ouf, is there an option for Japanese VOs? If not, I might be playing with sound down, which is unfortunate. Not a fan of these voices, everything seems like they're going for maximum stereotype.
This is interesting. Grew up with 1, 4, and 6. Both 7 and 10 I put off a long time because I didn't think either was interesting. Eventually played 7 and thought it was an awful game. That made me reeeeeally delay 10, but eventually I got to it and I actually enjoyed it. Still didn't like only having 3 characters at a time, but I thought it was very well done.
"It sold relatively well, but only managed about half the sales of its predecessor". Isn't that literally the opposite of relatively? You're comparing it to something else saying it did well, but compared to the other thing it did much worse.
Anyway, this is a fascinating game, I agree. I strongly disliked OoT so for the longest time I didn't play MM because of that. I eventually picked it up on... WiiWare, I think. I found it really interestingly, but frustrating. I would probably give it a try again if it gets a remake or if I suddenly find myself with a lot of time on my hands. Say in 30 years when I retire! =D
Look, this is a Top 5 games of all time game for me. But this looks like a really low-rent application, like they just grabbed screen caps from the game and added some really basic (and ugly) animations to it. I'm worried.
@mauhlin12 that question explains what's going on in a nutshell. It's too much work for copyright holders to go after individual streamers and tell them to stop, so they threaten (excuse me, "negotiate with") the whole platform in order to get them to do something that address the problem on a higher level.
Wow, I guess that gamble paid off. Honestly though it's why my family stopped playing Animal Crossing NH. Seemed designed specifically to make it very unfun to play with multiple people on the same Switch. I guess for a lot of people that encouraged them to spend another $300 instead of leave off.
Oh I love the idea of government deciding how I exercise, what a great idea.
I'll amend my earlier comment though, ***** the police who make ***** up and needlessly interfere with people's personal lives.
Seriously, a cop sees a person walking alone by themselves, even if they stop to catch something - that idiot cop just increased the risk of COVID spread by having that interaction.
If I ever get sick of Slay the Spire (which is seeming less and less likely), I will pick up Dicey Dungeons, but I have a hard time seeing myself actively playing both.

@LiamDoolan, I swear I recognize that background, is that Johnny Cee's games in Wausau, WI?

A rerelease that only has 5 boards seems stupid. Why would I want this?

Liar Princess was great, my daughter and I played through it together, I hope this is as good!
Re: Neo: The World Ends With You Could Take 100+ Hours To Beat Depending On Your Playstyle
I can see that.

Re: Square Enix Has Released A Demo For NEO: The World Ends With You
After how bad the remake was, I'm definitely demoing this first.

Re: Video: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Switch Vs. GBA Comparison
$60, what? I love the first two AW games (more than the DS ones) but no thanks.
Re: SacriFire Looks A Lot Like Octopath Traveler, And It Could Be Coming To Switch
Backing? No. Buying? Maybe.
2.5D was definitely the thing. Nights into Dreams, Klonoa.

Re: The Iconic Action-RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Is Out Today On Nintendo Switch
Seems pricey. Game was just fine, nothing fantastic. Basically a diablo clone w/D&D skin. Lots of companies were doing that around that time.
Re: Sega Will Start Selling NFTs Based On Its IPs This Summer
That's way too late, the fad will be over.
Re: Konami Has Trademarked 'Castlevania' And 'Metal Gear Rising' In Japan
Are you sure they didn't trademark "Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid" for a crossover?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #83 - Brain Age / Brain Training
Japan awful. Europe gets the nod over NA because the yellow is angry and the blue is chill.
Re: Square Enix Celebrating SaGa Frontier's Return With Special Launch Stream
This looks so just all over the place. Seems implausible that trying to do this many things in one game is going to be good.
Re: Super Seducer 1 & 2 Refused By Nintendo Due To "Explicit Content"
Yep, murdering people, torturing people, totally fine to have in a video game. But suggest somebody treat a woman badly...
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #82 - Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
Neither is great, they're both way too busy. Slight nod to the NA version because the Japanese one is so generic it could be for any Kirby game.

Re: Switch Is Now Nintendo's Second Best-Selling System In The US, In "Tracked History"
@timp29 That was my first question too. I'm not sure that dollar sales is all that useful anyway, give me actual units.

Re: Review: Gnosia - A Deceptively Deep Experience Hiding Behind A Simple Premise
Wish this was on 3DS, I want to play this in bed and I get cramps trying to hold the Switch there.
Re: Review: Gnosia - A Deceptively Deep Experience Hiding Behind A Simple Premise
Reminds me a lot of 999, Zero Escape, and VLR.
Re: Germany Is Considering An 18+ Rating On Video Games With Loot Boxes
@Jeaz "They are predatory and to 100% exist for the sellers benefit." The millions of people who spend money on these things would disagree with you.

Re: Civilization VI's Next Free Update Introduces A 'Barbarian Clans' Mode
@Kidfunkadelic83 I apparently have reading problems, I thought you wrote "IF" it's free, not "AS" it's free. My bad!
Re: Civilization VI's Next Free Update Introduces A 'Barbarian Clans' Mode
@Kidfunkadelic83 It's free.
This seems awesome! Especially barbarians becoming city states over time. Going to dive back in.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei II Is Being Added To Japan's NSO Super Famicom Collection
@Varkster I mean, for Fire Emblem to explode in popularity, they had to turn it into The Sims (oh and some fighting).

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #74 - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
I don't like any of them. Europe is way too busy and NA/Japan's dead character is in a very sexually-suggestive pose.
