@demacho for me at least the opposite, sad just how friendly they are to them in these comments sections...I would not know about certain exclusionist groups if not for people hawking them on this site for instance, and it depresses me
big man's the only real notable member designwise, feel like there might be some sort of rakugo joke with shiver that's lost in translation given her appearance on the news
similarly, the splatfest feels more "matsuri"-esque than "idol performance"-esque this time
having now played it, the complaints about control issues are baffling, especially in the first half (ie silver case)--they're extremely simple, and if you have trouble with the rotary dial style you can just hold l to bring up shortcuts for each command
it also pretty clearly marks spots of interaction and almost forgoes all puzzles about halfway through, so most of its cryptic-ness seems to come from the story alone
having played 25th ward as well now, the cryptic-ness is even less present with the game spelling out all puzzles for you if pressed and the control scheme, while different, is not much more clunky. i can see the complaint about the characters, but there are plenty of likable ones here too. again--baffling review
@NinjaWaddleDee its a shame that still applies to private online lobbies then (or at least it did last sat when i started playing)
,) what a bizarre choice--i want to futz about with my friends on steam without having to go to their house!
i guess there's remote play together, but even on ethernet its a huge crapshoot
@NinjaWaddleDee as far as i can tell the characters are locked until you pay coin/whatever the v-bucks equivalent is called to unlock them, unless you have the founders pack stuff (source: most of my playing was grinding so i could play jake the dog)
@Lizuka the second I found out you had to unlock the characters either through coins got from dailies or extremely drip-feed coins from toasts was when I clocked out
@HADAA i'd argue the tempo implied is slightly different ("liver-live" without the IPA implies less of a stop/more slurring between sounds, could put this in better words but my linguistics course was like a year ago) but yes it's a dialect-based thing
the article is asking how we pronounce it, not whether that's the correct way, i don't really assume there's any argument
@NeonPizza well, when the other 4 are inherently not too original and half of them suck, its kind of expected the most balanced and at least attempting to do something new will get blown up
i wouldnt put it in my top 5 or anything but i thought it was pretty solid
think i'll stick with my dark souls trilogy compendium, thanks, put my faith in the theories of randos like lokey about as far as i can throw them
honestly, to some extent this irritates me--one of the joys of dark souls is theorizing and coming up with your own conclusions, and codifying it in a text (unofficial as it might be) would very easily lead to one common agreed upon theory/people pointing towards it as the "canon theory," kind of dismantling that on the whole
@NotSoCryptic did you just read the opening para or what because all of these are media that evoke or are alluded to by the game being mentioned, not directly connected to them in any way like all of your examples
reminds me of a year or so ago when i found out some facebook group was printing bootie vinyls of vgm, specifically because of their doshin the giant release ( https://www.discogs.com/release/16673454-Tatsuhiko-Asano-Doshin-The-Giant-OST )--baffled me because i cannot figure out the target audience for a bootleg, but limited press, vinyl in 2021 (let alone people listing it as "rare and valuable")
@Synecdoche people have mentioned it in this comment section, but blood/gore sliders are very common, so that does tend to exist, even if not on bayonetta
people are getting embarassingly mad over this even being an OPTION [i.e.: cries of censorship, the west ruining everything, civilization burning down because you can turn off boobs and such] on twitter, saw a dude dump on the new girl for being a "feminist design" in the nintendoeverything article's retweets too which is just hilarious
not sure how i feel about multiverses kind of being the Big Thing in media lately (last 5-6 years especially) this seems to be another one? jurys out right now
edit: that description seems to all but confirm it's something like that. will be interesting, but it feels like it's kind of losing its novelty

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Smash Bros. Ultimate VS MultiVersus Comparison
moreso than the extremely floaty combat with next to no feedback, it's the 30 second loops of middling orchestral covers that hold this game back
playing on the steven universe stage for longer than 2 minutes is like going to get lobotmized
