While I think some western developers are a little too obsessed with "realism" and motion capture to the point of making semi-uncanny valley characters, none of those fall into that.

Why is the internet so obsessed about shit like this?

Id hate to have a forced lunch break, waste of time.

I had fun with it, but it's definitely a poorly optimized game that tries to be three things at once without being particularly competent at any of them.

Depends on the overall flow of traffic, but usually no less than ten over. If everyone else is going above that, then I'll try to go with the flow.

Only ones I'll probably bother to see will be GoG and Deadpool. I don't really have any interest in keeping up with the overarching story.

I doubt the Twitter brigade had much of an effect, and it probably boosted sales, if anything.

I don't care if they want to make child-friendly editions of some works that otherwise meet that criteria, but they should be sold as separate works. Otherwise, leave old shit alone. Include a warning at the start if you must, but sterilizing works is just silly.

I ended up getting overwhelmed and dying to the first boss without really getting a chance to learn anything, so I ended up giving up. Its one thing if the bosses are the main draw like BoI, but too many RLs make early bosses too high of a hurdle. Theres little worse than needing to spend a half hour just to practice on it. Now that they have added saving, Ive been thinking about seeing if there is a way to save scum on PS5 to give it another try.

Again, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's good or a wise idea.

Absolutely. He is undoubtedly a piece of shit. There is no questioning that. But it was determined he was there just as legally as everyone else, so all judgement of the situation should be focused on "what he did while he was there." It's perfectly fair to say he should not have gone, but declaring it as if his decision to go is any different than however many hundreds of people were there is just pointless.

He wasn't going there to protest. He was going there with a militia to "defend against looters" (re: harass and intimidate BLM protesters).

That qualifies as a form of counter protesting, moronic or not. As long as the status of him being there is legal, nobody should be using that as the crux of their argument. His reasoning, his personal character, how he has dictated himself since the incident, etc are all absolutely moronic, but I just don't see any reason to act like his choice to be there is something that should be harped on at this point.

I do believe that Kyle is a fool and a moron for putting himself in that situation in the first place when he had no good reason to. He legally defended himself, yes, but the fact of the matter is that, had he not gone there, then no one would have died by his hands.

You can say that about anything though. Nobody has to go to any protest. He's an absolute piece of shit, but that really shouldn't be a talking point at all unless him being there is somehow breaking a law.

If people want to standardize 32 hour work weeks, I'd be fine with that, but fuck anything more than 8 hours in one day.

His decisions to run around with a rifle when he doesn't have property there. He should have stayed home, and those 2 dudes don't get shot. The problem with him not going to prison was the state brought the wrong charges against him.

I don't really get this line of reasoning at all. Anyone can protest or counter-protest anywhere they want. You can call him a piece of shit with shitty motivations, but, absent of doing anything illegal while in transit, he can go where he pleases.

I really don't get the point of lawsuits with such low odds of winning against someone who doesn't even have the money to settle to avoid the hassle. Him being a piece of human waste doesn't make the likelihood of winning any greater.

Are dog owners ever charged with murder?

Other than products sourced locally from only people you'd trust with your life, pretty much nothing. But then, you could argue those people buy outside products a well, so supporting them means you're supporting all the bad things. So you either need to become self-sufficient or live in a commune to avoid supporting bad things.

Most of those clicker games have poor late game optimization.

Not yet without human manipulation, but I'd bet within a decade you'd be able to get at least a basic version of the concept without outside tweaking. Unless they can ingrain some kind of way to show it's fake, this is going to be scary once it's more accessible to the masses.

Curious how much Fandom will encroach on the site. From using Wikia/Fandom over the years, they're fucking horrible with continuously developing for the sake of developing, instead of leaving well enough alone.

Out of the non-BotW 3D Zeldas I've tried, it's the only one I've actually managed to play start to finish.

I'd hate to live in a city, but I don't understand why anyone's complaint would be easy access to stuff. That's kind of the point of it.

Shit like that is dumb. Once the person is in your house, they are a threat to you. As long as you properly stop once they are incapacitated or fleeing, it should be 100% up to you how you deal with the threat.

Some of the perpetually online people need to learn that lesson.There are obviously special cases of constant, targeted harassment beyond just simply internet ugliness, but the majority of people can just fucking block, log off, and move on.

Seems silly and just performative at this point, but its their event.

what kind of criminal charges should someone face for accidentally running over a dog?

I dont think there can be any unless it can be proven to be malicious, or the person doesnt report it. Otherwise, its the owners fault for not containing their animal.

I wouldnt mind them pulling a Mario Galaxy 2 and just doing a bunch of puzzles with little to no story. I think trying to force another story into the same universe could really just be very mediocre.

It's always weird when people think they need to go all in on supporting someone just because they're supporting them in one instance. It's very easy to say "she's a shitty person being hounded by a bunch of even shittier people."

I honestly don't know. I technically learned to swim when I was like four or five, but I don't think I remember. Not sure if muscle memory would kick in, but I've never really tried.

This whole silly internet crusade is peak virtue signalling. If Elon manages to burn Twitter down, that'll probably end up being to the benefit of humanity.

Depends entirely on their financial status. There are people who consistently live beyond their means until everything crashes down, people who consistently complain about having no money despite spending it all on vanity shit, and there are people who know how to manage their money.

No, I don't think it'll collectively ever reach the same peak height ever again, but it's ingrained into popular culture to the point where they'd have to go beyond peak DC fuckups to ever hurt it. If the new wave of characters doesn't pick up the mantle as well as the first, then they might start to flounder if the remaining big names decide to retire in a few years.

The solution definitely isn't as simple as "give everyone houses." Whether just weird free spirits or people who are too mentally unwell to deal with society, those who make up the visible, persistent homeless population probably need more specialized help than simple shelters can provide.

There's probably overlap, but it's not inherently one or the other. Probably depends on what the artist focuses on drawing.

I think I had tried a 2D one on an emulator some point prior to it releasing, but Symphonia was the first one I actually owned and completed.

Whether it works or not really depends on the person and the exact hair style. People can decide if appearance changes are a dealbreaker, but I cannot imagine being so petty as to care that much about a temporary hairstyle change. Though for something extreme like going completely bald long term for non-medical reasons, that'd probably be cause to reconsider.

Yeah, schools should have comprehensive life skill courses. There's so much pointless fat they could cut as well, so it's not like it'd even require more time or money if they actually balanced everything properly.

The guy was being dumb, but he did nothing at all to warrant that response. Cops who cannot keep control of their temper even a single time should be removed from their job and never allowed to be a cop again.

Was Assault a traditional game, or did that have some kind of dumb gimmick?

For those who actually treat it as a real job, they're definitely doing way more behind the scenes than just that. There definitely exist a small subset of really lucky ones who can basically just shoot the shit doing nothing, but that's basically the A-listers of streaming.

Not that I disagree with them withholding the information from parents, but I do wonder how they expect the parents to never find out. If it's something shared in confidence with a single teacher, sure, but the entire staff acknowledging them will mean it will trickle back to the parents.

If they make it a giant pain in the ass, into the regular trash it goes. Unless it's something directly harmful to others, I don't care enough to go out of my way for it.

I dont really understand what benefit you think it provides. If you have the ability to accrue savings without spending it, then just toss whatever leftover money you have into your savings. If you have some kind of mental thing where you cant help but spend spare money, I guess that could somehow work, but you clearly dont have that issue.

So far, doesn't look particularly exciting for something so many years in the making. The fact that they're so focused on showing the sky islands every single time is really feeling like that's the only thing of substance they have to show. Most of the enemies look the same, other than like one new boss. The stupid looking Nuts & Bolts shit looks like a horrible gimmick. I guess it really depends on the dungeons/dungeon equivalents, and if there's going to be underground traversal beyond shrines.
