ignoring issues of identity based discrimination makes that stuff SIGNIFICANTLY worse, not perpetuate it. you don't put out a fire by pretending it doesn't exist.
plus this isn't just a statement, it's an announcement of actual company policy change with actual practical impact, and this kind of thing being implemented at a major company like this can push the needle in the right direction politically for lgbtq rights in a country that does not support them.
just because discussion of LGBTQ issues makes you uncomfortable does not mean the solution is for everybody to stop talking about them.
idk if you are queer yourself but i am and this kind of take infuriates me.
i love this. I'm a big combat sports fan and some of my favorite moments in those sports involve this kind of sportsmanship, in which one fighter recognizes and respects the meaninglessness of exploiting certain unearned advantages. like that one guy who re-set his opponent's arm after it dislocated in the middle of the fight so they could continue, or when Hall acknowledged his injury TKO over Weidman was not a meaningful victory.
@RR529 yeah the westernized armor design is horrendous. that alone makes me lean to the Japanese version. and honestly i do like the restrained nature of the latter
@Krysus you're just very lucky. but you're not the only one, i'd say 1 out of 10 folks i know with switches have zero problems with their controllers. so, it's not unheard of to be so fortunate. but a 10% satisfaction rate is pretty damn bad.
Honestly it was a really fun game with a lot of interesting twists on the genre. i liked playing it way more than fortnite and aesthetically it was infinitely less obnoxious.
But as a f2p game it relied on cosmetics to generate revenue and frankly all of the cosmetics were resoundingly unexciting. they were not ugly by any means but in no way inspired purchases.
it sucks that the life of a game like that relies on something so frivolous.
it's a way the American film business often talks about new scripts ("Mad Max meets Gone With The Wind"), especially when pitching, and i ***** hate it (i work in that industry). it's so limiting to think that way and points to the very finite imagination of American entertainment execs.
so i sympathize with tanabe here, especially as they're talking about an IP retro didn't even create. and although i do love everything retro does including prime 3, i think the weakest parts of that game are the ones most derivative of other franchises like halo and COD.
frame rate of other players is pretty chuggy. but the nature of the game is such that that's not really a gameplay concern fortunately, and honestly i kind of like the goofy look of the stuttering animation. plus the user's character and the environments work fine.
@boxyguy yeah I'm unenthused about this game but if you told me it's in the early stages of development and they're just experimenting with ideas so far, i'd actually be kind of hyped for that spirit even if the results weren't working yet. at least intrigued by the question marks, rather than concerned.
@kurtasbestos not just rpgs, almost every platformer and other action games too.
I think it's just an easy way to have an underground area for more environmental variety with the touch of human influence. easier to justify bringing characters underground if other people have been there first for some reason i suppose.
@Spoony_Tech how about you wait to actually watch the video before jumping on the anti-bandwagon to criticize these folks without even seeing if they address your question
@TedGundy precisely. dude is full of himself and thinks he's doing a public good when he's literally become a millionaire himself from theft. theft from victims who aren't really hurting, but the point is he doesn't really have moral ground to be grandstanding, unless he's using those millions to actually fund the causes he's acting like he's advancing instead of his own luxurious lifestyle.
also, yeah, jail sucks. In fact as an American who sees how horrific the prison system can be at least in this country, I'm not a big fan of it altogether. but homie isn't gonna get any extra sympathy from me for this or that situation in his life. that's literally what every human being deals with when confronted with the possibility of imprisonment, and most of them aren't millionaires.
i will say this headline is a bit misleading, making it sound like he's callously leaving his teammate to rot, when "what do i care" was about the impact on Nintendo, and it was bowser who was trying to snitch on him.
i find it so obnoxious that that guy just made some ***** up, said it with very clear and definite terms, ("a character I know we won't see at all", "we won't see Fei Long. Ever"), then just walked it back saying it was"playful hypothetical thinking" when he was called on it. He was clearly just saying ***** for clout. Did he not think Lee's family wouldn't say anything? And I'm not coming from a neutral place with this but I generally am sick of white people putting words in Asians' mouths
