Ok. Basically an employer saying “Yeah, that kinda language isn’t cool here, and you’re acting in poor judgment not realizing that”. Not really anything more to discuss.
@BarefootBowser @Eel the RROD issue was cause by a combo of board warp and inadequate thermal paste applied between the chip and heatsink. The airflow design hastened the gooification of the paste, and allowed the heat to be more absorbed by the board and less dissipated by the sink. This made parts of the board warp slightly enough that it made the problem cyclical. You could actually tighten down a board, clean and apply a better paste, and be back in business in most cases.
The TOS say your account can be banned. So there’s really no room there for feel good half measures and armchair pundits. This isn’t about punishment or rage against tubers, it’s about the company showing they adhere to their TOS regardless of the account holder’s status.
@liljmoore Agreed. Sakurai said nothing about nothing. Folks that want to yell words are the ones linking it to something about appearance and sexuality.
@Moroboshi876 A fictional video game character not being included in a different fictional video game’s franchise does not equate to discrimination any more than choosing to stock strawberry ice cream over peach ice cream.
"Whether or not the character is fun to play as is more important than whether the character is new or old, or whether the character is recognisable to everyone."
That right there is why it’s silly to get into debates about who should or shouldn’t be in Smash.
Chinese company? Better get my witty comments about freedom, silence, protesters, and souls ready. Oh, and a dash of self-righteous high-roading while I use a product with Chinese-manufactured components. Okay, I'm all set now!
Anyway. I wonder if this would be planning for just introducing titles in the Chinese market, or porting things to the system as a whole.
@Coolmeesje So true.
I was out getting groceries the other day and heard a "HONK" as I was walking to my car. I looked in the sound's direction and there were about 10-12 large geese standing in the field next to the parking lot. I think I set a new record for loading the groceries up, and I definitely flipped off the geese as I drove away. Not today, geese!!
As a fan of NfS and Burnout, I’m loving this game. Haven’t spent a single cent yet (but plan to after LM3 because I enjoy it), and not hit this “wall” that some folks mention. I’ve been awash in car parts and unlocks just from doing challenges and hitting the leaderboard tiers. I’ve had much more fun with this F2P game than I expected. And the soundtrack is pretty nice, which is a big plus when I’m racing for two hours.

@Octane Nah, Pikmin 4 was cancelled because of "too much complexity". You're too simple for Pikmin, yo.

"too many sequels"... So that's why he hates Mother 3...

@Moroboshi876 No
I don’t agree, but I respect your opinion.

Re: Sakurai Says Fatal Fury's Mai Isn't In Smash Because The Game "Is For Good Boys And Girls"
@Moroboshi876 I did. I also read the comment from Sakurai that did not mention the character’s appearance at all.

Re: Sakurai Says Fatal Fury's Mai Isn't In Smash Because The Game "Is For Good Boys And Girls"
@GrailUK Exactly what I was thinking. Silly joke to be light hearted. It’s not like the man doesn’t know who is already in the dang game.
Re: Sakurai Discusses Young Generations Not Knowing SNK, Says The Character Being Fun Is More Important
