I'm not convinced it's a scam, they're working on the game and it's definitely a thing. I think it's just gross mismanagement and feature creep.

I'd wager they're probably spending 20%-50% of it on the game, while using the rest to pay themselves stupidly high salaries/spending it on vanity stuff they can easily write off. The game is definitely being worked on, but there's little chance the current output equates to the funds put into it.

It's something that definitely should happen, but not under this shitshow of a government.

I'm curious on what exactly the gameplay loop is supposed to be. It's hard to see how you combine wall scaling, terrain destruction/underground traversal, and enemy combat into cohesive level design.

Imagine it was this.

God, the whole game grading thing is just a speculatory scam. Cards are bad enough with the 9.8s vs 10s shit, but at least the big names have decades of real experience. The gaming grading shit is too new to be putting out prices like that.

Wasnt that a few years ago? Either way, pretty bullshit with how advanced scanning has gotten.

Series shit the bed at 7 Quirks and never recovered after All the Powers was brought back into the picture. Hori isnt smart enough to write smart characters, so writing a character who should have hundreds or thousands of powers just devolves into dumb combos that amount to punch harder.

I don't particularly care for Mario Kart at all, but the open world stuff looks like it'd be a pretty fun podcast game. Sadly the 5-10 hours I'd get out of it is not worth $80, so probably won't get a chance to play it.

The increase to $2 was already too much, but $5 is crazy. It's not like there's even a good chance of winning the lowest prize. If that doesn't lose them money, I'd be surprised.

Guess Ill start exporting my list more regularly. Though the site has been total dogshit on the backend for years at the point, so it probably wont be a massive loss if it does crash. Maybe theyll get some paid staff to actually get through the entry approval backlog that goes back at least 6 years.

Seems like such a bizarre choice to spend R/D money on. Who actually wants to use a facecam on a 5FPS Nintendo Switch hangout? Who is actually going to take the time to set up the camera to play dumb looking Mario Party minigames?

Breakfast souffle was pretty good, but way too expensive.

I'd say it was pretty mid. Too much focus on features that nobody will actually use and not enough new exclusive games.

Pretty dumb to go so all in on generic enemies and animals when there are plenty of actual characters who have yet to be in Mario Kart. I guess they could be saving stuff for DLC in the future, if they plan on it being around as long as 8 lasted.

I'm curious if they've actually implemented the necessary functions to actually implement tariffs on a wide scale, or if it's going to be another shitshow when the de minimis exception is removed again. UPS/FedEx/DHL are one thing, but I cannot imagine USPS has the infrastructure in place with how underfunded they are.

Not until the Switch 1 is dead and buried. These cross generation gaps that are happening really make the successor not worth it to be an early adopter.

Isn't this a weekly rumor? I assume it's just mass media attempting to influence the administration by shitposting enough that the two have a real marital spat.

Pretty poor overall. Most of the new gimmicks are multiplayer focused, so completely irrelevant to me. I don't know why console launches have been so sparse with games the last few generations. They should be launching with multiple bangers, but they're instead relying on it being a Switch 1.5.

Hopefully they show off some actual games. All these gimmicks look like such a waste so far.

It's definitely hard to care about it at all. The decision to fall back on the old tropes of broke, suffering Spider-Man is just dumb, when the direction they had him going was just fine. He should have been the glue to hold the MCU together in the place of Stark. Shelving him was a poor choice.

If you enjoy it all the way through, its definitely worth watching at least the second movie. The movies are a retelling, but the second one has a much expanded final section. Cant really remember if the first one has anything special.

I've only seen a scattering of films and Loki S1, but the whole thing is just too disjointed. Despite the crossovers in some stuff, it doesn't have the feeling of a true shared universe anymore.

I can see them shafting the main storyline for Online again. Regardless of how the story is received, itll still probably be the highest grossing game ever.

There will almost certainly have to be at least a few, but no way GF is putting in the effort to make more than like 5 at most.

If the game does come out, I really hope theres some kind of deep dive on what happened with that development cycle. I feel like it has to be that the team fractured at some point because feature creep can only explain so much.

If it can trigger some monkey brain shit of haha number go up, sure, but thats pretty rare. Watching a small bar inch up battle after battle is more the antithesis of that.

They've definitely heavily fumbled on any sense of cohesion and connectivity by spreading things too wide. Curious to see if their Downey emergency button works for them.

It's definitely a game I've craved replaying again. Even if 95% are useless, collecting characters is cathartic and the kicking mechanic is just fun for some reason. I'd play the hell out of a remake with even more characters to collect.

I reject a timeline that has no Mean Bean Machine.

Pretty much always, unless it's a horrible, dry mess.

As long as it's not those stupid greetings they were trying at some places, I don't care as long as it can function.

It's not on the level of proper retribution, but it's definitely a situation that could have been avoided by doing what she needed to do. Definitely not justified in any capacity, but someone driven to the brink may simply go nuts like this.

Didn't he massacre like 80% of the world population, and the manga tried to pass it off like a good thing?

From the perspective of the them vs us, it was kind of just the inevitable end point for both races. Peace was impossible without the ending deus ex. From the perspective of the characters, it was absolute fate set in stone that Erin both wanted to do and didn't want to do due to his warped mindset from having too many perspectives at once and being schizo. The characters who know understand and forgive him.

Nah, it was wishywashy trash. It feels like the culmination of abandoned plotlines rewritten into something deemed "safe" by editors. The epilogue being the eternal cycle of war being unsevered is fine, if cliche.

Middies.

I dunno, this kinda feels like if they made a Euro Truck Sim 3, what exactly is being brought to the table that you can't just add to the first Powerwash via DLC or free maps?

Looking on their news page, they now have the exciting new feature of sudsy soap.

Looks kind of dumb if they aren't going to add new mechanics, like having the filth drip like in real life to make it more dynamic. It's not like they're at the limit of what they can do with the current setup.

Looks to be #2 for me.

None of them give a shit. They just consider it all banter for whatever reason. You have pretty much every republican who said shit about him licking his feet currently.

And she stopped being a billionaire because she donated to charity, highlighting that even when someone is a piece of human garbage they can still understand the concept of "there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire, period."

Isn't she still in the upper hundreds of millions? Not really much of a distinction unless she were to go down to tens of millions.

Anyone who doesn't use their wealth to do shitty things. Bezos would still be a billionaire even if Amazon wasn't a hellhole for its employees. He's just a giant asshole, so saying it's inherently the wealth is silly.

All of Soul Society is pretty shitty, and his later portrayals are somewhat flanderized compared to his first appearance by removing his murderclown qualities.

This time we'll get to see how El Nido was brought to absolute ruin and the tragic endings for all 40-ish party members.

They made it seem like it was going to be important to Endgame. MCU was still at the peak of popularity. Shes a very B-tier character even without all the silly culture war stuff around the movie.

I like to watch it on both my phone and TV, and it's definitely worth it just to use the native apps for them. If you only use it on computer, then not worth it at all.

Looks like the lady from Junji Ito's The Window Next Door.

The joke in the trailer is horrible. Gives the vibe of being an out of touch unnecessary sequel, but it's also something I'll never watch anyway.

Ive been trying to find kind of cartoon movie from when I was a kid, involved some kind of animal cub and a scene with a weird imp thing at circus. Thought it might be Kimba, but either wasnt it or I massively misremembered.

Pretty much all the original characters were wasted potential. Glorio's whole moment of realization was laughable without any actual context beyond a single line from Arinsu. Kind of hope they get someone to do a manga adaptation and give stuff the development it needed.

It would be one thing if the companies were trying to be super puritan, but the same ones that'll shit on small creators for using naughty words will advertise nearly anything and host mainstream content that does the same stuff and more. The adpocalypse broke them.
