A PDP licensed Wii Fight Pad Pro and an 8bitdo Gbros adapter has been working wonders for me.
The Gbros adapter is hard to get right now, but it works great if you can get it (virtually no lag) with a Wii Classic ProController, which does have ZL, ZR and Minus.
Can't you pay an extra hour of work? USD$10 is common for a 1 hour of work. Even if not well paid (restaurant employee), that would be 2 or 3 hours of work.
If you can't pay that, you shouldn't game at all, and better keep yourself away from starving. Use the money for buying food.
@Old_Man_Nintendo So, is Jack Black secretly a giant talking turtle?
Wow, I didn't know voice actors always look like who their interpret. It explains why Thanos' VA in Avengers movies could only be Thanos himself. There aren't many purple alien people out there, you know.
She just confirmed the Bloomberg report with that $15,000 mention.
She made it sound like $4,000 was the highest offer in the original videos when she called for boycotting the game.
The last $4,000 were some lines for a Cameo, not the lead VA anymore.
Yeah, just like Bloomberg reported. Nothing more to see here. She wasn't lowballed. She is in a union. She was offered more than the standard USD$250 hourly for Voice acting.
@Dr_Luigi Zelda BOTW struggled on some in-game places, like in the Lost Woods.
However, it worked alright even with +15 enemies on screen. After +30 enemies in zones that weren't meant to, it started lagging.
I don't think it should be that hard for newer games (released +5 years after Zelda BOTW) to accomplish something similar. BOTW IS OPEN WORLD, even if you may say it's "empty", it loaded fairly well with not many hiccups. I don't see any reason from the trailers for Pokemon not to get a similar smoothness overall.
Yeah, yeah, not a GAME developer myself, but graphic-wise, Scarlet and Violet don't look as texture-detailed as BOTW.
GameFreak is ruining it all. Pokemon games also struggled on 3DS, even on 1vs1 battles! Meanwhile, more graphic intensive games had no framerate problems at all. RE: Revelations. Street Fighter IV, Monster Hunter 4.
@RickRau5 She already broke his NDA by talking the offerings publicly, she CAN be taken to court if Platinum wanted.
Releasing documents would actually help her regain a bit of trust, but instead preferred to say she wanted to "move on" after she started all the public issue in the first place.
She is scared to even make fake documents because that would be actual real problems once Platinum sues, otherwise, she'd have done that already.
Releasing the real documents that go along with what she said first would actually help her a lot.
@graviton None will tell anything else about this situation. Company is not vile enough to call out giving out the whole story by themselves. Taylor won't release contract of offering because she lied.
I mean, Taylor already broke NDA, what would be wrong about releasing their contract document with the info about what they offered her? If that could prove her as truthful, why not do it? Instead, she said she wanted to "move on" even when she started the whole public issue. She is lying.
@CharlieGirl I wish the company I work for would pay me royalties for every contract they make with their customers.
Also, while we are at that, it would be great to have a USD$1,000 per hour payment, like Taylor was offered. I have to do with only USD$7 per hour.
Voice acting with unions has the standard USD$250 hourly, they were paying 4 times that. I mean, why do you say they aren't already unionized? They are.
Also, royalties for VAs is very rare, and usually comes from indie companies who can't make a big upfront payment easily, so they offer only royalties and a small one time payment.
Getting paid USD$250 hourly as a the standard... I seriously think it's better paid that some other jobs. I don't know. Earning USD$7 myself, I'd prefer being a VA.
But still, no company will pay anyone a percentage of their earnings, no matter how big their participation in the development of their product/service, etc.
So, if I earn USD$250 HOURLY, I wouldn't actually cry about anything at all. I earn USD$7 hourly, and I hate my work, but I can't do anything about it.
I live in Mexico. And that's all I can do, survive. Can't get many luxuries. My Switch was gifted to me by a friend. My 3DS was bought after saving up for 4 years.
Yeah, companies should pay better. But a percentage of their earnings to every employee? That would be very cool, but not happening anytime soon.
@RubyCarbuncle I mean, boycotting the games doesn't matter for the new VA. They don't pay a percentage of the sales, only a flat rate, one time payment.

@MetalKingShield While I know it's not the same, ALBW is already good enough as an improved ALttP.
It's even called ALttP 2 in Japan (Kamigami no Triforce 2, but whatever).

Re: Kirby Gains New Copy Abilities For Return To Dreamland Deluxe
@KBuckley27 It's like in movies.
Why go to a movies theater to pay a lot of money for watching those Disney rehashes?
Well, because you like the Disney movies, even if the rehashes are not very good. And also, there's people that may not have watched the original one.
It's the same with this.

Re: Random: After 25 Years, Ash Ketchum Is Now The Very Best, Like No One Ever Was
@calbeau This is an anime made for kids. It's just to have a familiar character there, and that's it.
I know it's not exactly the same, but Simpsons have not aged in +30 years and none bats an eye.

Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Responds To Online Backlash In Ongoing Dispute
@PinderSchloss USD$750 hourly. For 20 hours.She was offered that, she admitted in these tweets.
Most I've ever earned is USD$7 hourly (seven dollars, yes) and that's as an Android Developer.
I don't feel bad for her.
USD$250 is the standard for VA in games. She was being paid three times that.
