I read it in high school, no reason why you can't.

Unless you're actually trying to read it in Middle English rather than a more modern translation. I could see that being harder.
It's middle English.

I probably should have bought a more modern version but the book looks sick af on a shelf.

Frederick Douglass by David Blight
The Burgundians by Bart van Loo

I'm starting on Le Morte d'Arthur but man, that is a hard fucking read idk if I can do it.

I think there's a reasonable limit to what schools should teach and we need to be smart about it.

Computer/tech literacy should likely be taught, my understanding is a lot of that has been cut.

Cursive can be thrown in the fucking dumpster of history. Might as well teach Latin.

The "some pokemon are gods" thing really felt like the lore getting out of hand. Until at least gen 3 legendaries were just "really strong animals". Now it's basically the Japanese Cthulhu mythos. But the characters still don't treat it as such, pokemon are still animals.

Zelda is a game in which I lust after the princess whereas in Metroid I lust after a brain in a jar

Not comparable.

adjl posted...
The only way in which Zelda (at least, LttP onward, I wouldn't actually say that the first two are) isn't a Metroidvania is that it's not sidescrolling. It hits all the other notes of open-ended exploration, finding upgrades that unlock new paths forward, and backtracking to use new abilities to find stuff you couldn't get the first time through.

I wouldn't say that BotW and TotK qualify, though, since they don't have that same style of progression. Probably also not Triforce Heroes, though that isn't exactly typical Zelda (namely, you're just given the items to use at the beginning of each stage and work your way through it without any ability progression).
I think an important part of the vibe of Metroidvania games is the feel of being trapped in a maze, which Zelda doesn't have. That's subjective though.

Original LoZ could have arguably been a Metroidvania, but Zelda hasn't been like that since Zelda 2. And the definition of the genre has evolved to exclude Zelda 2.

It's hilarious how fast Light gets identified as the prime suspect, and then there's like 60 episodes of him devising increasingly absurd ways to divert suspicion.

I think it is realistic that he's careless at first and then has to be more cautious later though.

Over 150,000 people die every day across the world. Even if you were writing 100 names a day, the Death Note would not draw any attention whatsoever unless you were getting into public arguments with people and screaming "I hope you die" at them before they do.
People who die are disproportionately elderly. A surge in young people dying of heart attacks will be noticeable.

There were a couple of wannabe WoW-killer MMOs in the late 00's that went F2P after failing to amass enough of an audience to be sustainable as full-price games. Off-hand, though, I'm not sure how small their pre-F2P audiences were, and I'd expect they sold more than 25k copies.
I really don't think many (any?) failed on this scale, especially as the market was smaller back then anyway.

I think WildStar was a pretty colossal failure and even that sold in the hundreds of thousands? That was later than what you're referring to though.

I can't see F2P working.. only like 2-3k people played the open beta; the game just has no interest. I'm trying to think of another game that went F2P that didn't have a decently sized audience that fell off for one reason or another.

Definitely they need to re-skin it though at least, no one is buying premium skin re-colours for concord hero gun man.
I think a big problem with these live service multiplayer games is they tend to grow and decline exponentially. If all my friends start playing a game, I'll play as well. If they stop playing I'll stop playing.

You need a really well thought out launch or you won't be able to recover, which it looks like happened here. They're not gonna get a second chance.

I don't know if you've played it, but Sonic 3 Movie's plot seems to be very heavily inspired by Sonic Adventure 2's story.

The main difference being, people in the movie trailer don't act like their all colorblind and can't tell Sonic and Shadow are different people.
Perhaps Shadow is intended to look exactly like Sonic but we (as the audience) have a deeper view of the characters and are able to view Shadow as he truly is.

I haven't seen either but my understanding is they're basically 90% standard family comedy and like 10% a Sonic film.

So it depends how much you're willing to put up with for Sonic I guess.
