Re: "Dreams Come True": Chris Pratt Talks About His New Role As Super Mario

Shazirah

My, there are a lot of folks here who cannot seem to do the 'your fav is problematic' conversation with any grace.

Figure out who you want to be as a person, what your priorities are, draw your own lines, be aware, be informed (your adult responsibility, your adult agency) — but own that you've got those priorities. No need to shout down folks who have decided equal human dignity or empathy is on that list for them. It's not on yours, okay, you've made that clear. If you've decided to support someone like Pratt, it's a intellectually dishonest to present it as a neutral decision or that deflecting nonsensical line about separating art from the artist; there's no neutral value in that choice. It's a decision reflecting your own priorities, what you decide to add, what you decide to exclude. Most of life is not a series of binary questions, and yet you still have decisions to make. So make them, and own them without trying to dress it up as something else.

So excited for my Special Edition to get here! One of the only SE/LEs I own where the extra money spent feels justified above "swag." Well, I mean, we'll see, but I suspect so!

Re: 3DS System Update 10.5.0-30 is Now Available

Shazirah

I can confirm that the last update corrupted my SD card on my old3DS. Haven't updated to this newest build — a bit hesitant to, after last week. I had to spend an hour last time: backing it up, then moving stuff over piecemeal to isolate the problem, while not knowing if it was even going to work. Heh.

Re: An ESRB Rating of Super Mario Galaxy for Wii U Has Been Spotted

Shazirah

I bought all three Operation Rainfall Wii games (Xenoblade Chronicles, Pandora's Tower, The Last Story) back when they came out here in North America, and would love to see them in the Wii U's VC. Not because I'd necessarily purchase them again, but because I think they deserve the exposure and it would be a lovely treat for Nintendo consumers. (Yes, I am aware of some releases in EU and it makes me sadfase they haven't been released here. Even if I'm mistaken about the market here for them — the works already done.)
