People have been saying “Nintendo should release their games for Platform That I Like” for decades. Pretty sure they’re content with doing what they’re been doing.

It’s neck and neck.

ExtremeRate should have you covered at some point.

Muy suavamente

I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one’s Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

…

…just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex _sometimes. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.

Kart: Mii w/MegaMan suit

Smash: I don’t play

My only beef with this video was needing to pause it dozens of times to read the tons of text that flew by too fast. Otherwise, it’s what you expect from Frost: meticulously researched, eloquent, and passionate.

I knew nothing about Nick until the Escapist exodus. I just went with the narrative that it was a solidarity move, and I was thrilled to see SW take off. Frost leaving abruptly (to the public) confused the hell out of me. But that was point 1 addressed in the video. And then the deluge of receipts started.

Holy hell.

I hope the rest of the SW team kicks this turd to the curb. He’s been riding Yahtzee’s coattails long enough.

I felt that way going from a 360 to XB1. More of the same, just shinier. I don’t think I’ve used my XB1 for anything except Rock Band in over a year. And the only reason I felt the urge to get a Series is that so RB loads in less than 10 minutes. (Well, that and Flight Simulator.)

Nintendo and indies are the only things keeping my interest in console gaming.

But the fact people spend $60 on a skin in a game, for just one character or weapon, is absolutely fucking insane.

My nephew got very excited about the Transformers skins coming to Overwatch. I let him have his hype cycle (we are both Transformers fans), then asked him how much it cost. I told him he could buy an entire game for that much. Then, on his own, he started analyzing the pricing, and how buying 3 of the 4 on their own is more than buying the whole pack. Which segued nicely into how companies use price to steer people into buying specific things.

But he was still iffy until I told him that the same money could buy 2-3 HG Gundam kits. The next day he told me that he had bought an RG kit instead. Works for me.

I saw the Second Wind announcement on YT and thought, “Oh shit, this isn’t gonna be good.” And it’s not. That’s damning. Frost is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, eloquent, and insightful voices in the industry. I find it hard to believe that he’d walk out of what has been, on the surface, a smashing success (and a huge fuck-you to the corporate zombies that have taken over games media) without very good reason. And it’s ironic that the reason appears to be Nick, whose firing prompted the whole team to walk from Escapist in solidarity.

sigh

At my last job some suits decided they were just gonna shut down a location, pink slips for everyone with little to no runway. Except there was a production data center there. And 75% of the DBA team. And key networking personnel. And a chunk of the sysadmins.

Much backpedaling was done. It took several years to migrate those teams, and a lot of key people didn’t take kindly to having their chain yanked and simply walked. And then a few more years (and a purchase by a larger company) to fully decom the site.

This, my friends, is the efficiencies of private enterprise in action.

One of my favorite Sims torture chambers housing projects was a spiral with espresso machines at each corner. In the middle was one toilet. I invited all of the neighbors over and watched the chaos unfold.

I was very confused until I saw the Bandai Namco logo and remembered both IPs are owned by the same entity. Then I was only a little confused.

This is exactly it. But it doesn’t fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

God I’m an idiot

Disagree but I’m way too tapped to get into that argument lol. Ya goofed, the end. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OT 1 is available on PS. OT 2 is available on Xbox.

I’d argue that the 20th century already selected for that and we are reaping the “rewards” as we speak.

It’s easy if you’re a sociopath.
