Re: Historic Village Remains Found On Nintendo Museum Construction Site

Glad they're going through with the dig. Villages that old need to be analyzed before everything's covered in modern construction. Shocked they'll get through the dig by the end of next week, I would hope for at least another month to be thorough, but this is still fine. Hopefully won't miss out on anything too significant.

Re: Pokémon GO Disables Trading After Player Discovers Lucky Bug

One of the greatest things that upsets me about modern software development is that bugs that grant a small number of users unfair advantages are top priority, but bugs that disconvenience the majority of users tend to be ignored forever. I can think of countless immensely powerful applications (e.g. spotify, reddit) where this is the case.

Re: Hades Is The First Game To Win A Hugo Award

Although it's probably not the best sci-fi game of 2020, the amount of dialog in the game (often witty or informative) is just ridiculously impressive and deserves to stand as an interactive sci-fi work alongside the others. Glad there are efforts to include video games as a respectable art platform, despite how the innovation tends to be confined to the indie sphere.

Don't understand why ACNH was nominated when it's as far away as you could from an award that honors story and writing.

Re: Random: Hey, There's Also A Smash Mod That Keeps Fire Emblem Content And Removes Everything Else

@JR150 Wanted to just offer my take, so don't reply to me.

"In short, Fire Emblem gets lots of playable representation because its lacking in every other regard."

This is not even remotely true. The other playable factors have no influence on the necessity to add more characters. If the developers were concerned about stages, items, or spirits, they'd add more stages, items, or spirits.

"Why can't we just accept the game how it is and just don't use the characters we don't like?"

You pose this like it's irrational or that people are being whiney. But it's perfectly valid reasoning that there is a greater demand than supply for new characters, and if Byleth was not added to the game, there would have been a different (possibly more interesting) DLC character. That's how game development like this works. It's not like Byleth was an added bonus.
