7·7 days agoRelatively common for games to be changed for violence, blood, nudity, sexual content to conform to different countries standards.

27·10 days agoYeah, let’s just have a repeat of the rare earth market. That worked out swell for the world to let an authoritarian government have a global monopoly.
28·11 days agoJust a big ol’ WTF here…
I like how they raised the price on the controllers and only used magnets for a non-issue and not for the thing that is the problem.
Personally won’t be doing the Kickstarter but would be interested in early access.
Pretty much. Greedy publishers are just following Nintendo’s lead that they can fleece gamers for more.
China blocked a game.
There hasn’t been a Hong Kong in quite a while now.

Are you referring to that chromatic hat guy? I’m in act 2 and I’ve spent about an hour trying to get one of his moves and it’s just not clicking with all of that delay and audio cues for me.
Now you know and no worries if you decide to do the romance path and watch the sex scene, other players won’t be made aware. :)
The biggest things for me is that I hate having to turn the music down in game to be able to hear the parrying cues.
Which will automatically put it in patient gamer territory for me.
And let’s take this outside of the myopic view of only looking at inflation.

Console gaming revenue: 1996 - 7 billion, 2022 - 30 billion
Let’s look at specifically Nintendo here since we’re talking about Super Mario 64
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2001/011121e.pdf
2001, 664 million in profit, adjusted for inflation in 2022 dollars, 1 billion.
2022, 1.7 billion dollars in profit.
You forget that in 1996 the gaming pool was also magnitudes smaller compared to today and despite all of the whining about increased development costs, which I also think is bullshit but that’s a different conversation, profits have increased to keep up.
So my opinion, no there’s absolutely no justification for a 80 dollar price point when you look at the over all picture.
Yeah, the Democratic leadership is completely corrupt and inept at this point and they did every every progressive presidential candidate dirty these past decade. And yeah it’s really sad and sickening that even now they’re thrashing like crazy and doing everything they can to resist progressive influence, trying to keep their wealthy donors happy, look at what their trying to do with Hogg.
But yeah, I do really agree with Sanders that Democrats, with all of their major character and leadership flaws, realistically is the only way to beat Trump and the Republicans.
He’s absolutely right with this current Democratic party and it’s shitty leadership.
Because Sanders isn’t a Real Progressive^TM and actually smart enough to acknowledges one can both be critical of the current Democratic party and leadership while accepting the reality in actual daily life in America and its citizens.
However, Sanders did strongly disagree with one of his host’s points when Schulz expressed disappointment that, despite being sidelined by the establishment, Sanders continued to back Democratic nominees like Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024.
I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won’t be able to control themselves.
Republicans aren’t giving aid to red as shit counties so unfortunately a blue county isn’t going get anything unfortunately and knowing Republicans, they’ll try to charge them for just reaching out.
Jesus, it really goes to show how shitty humanity really is.
I actually really liked watching those foxes laughing, it was a nice little bright spot in a world fully of cynicism and bullshit and if course shitty humans had to be shitty humans harassing her for being a decent human being.
