Another example.

not a lot of positive comments for a game that looks so charming and fun.

Why is positivity a hard thing for people to give for most games? Why is it so easy for a game like Pokemon when it arguably doesn't deserve it. Like I said, if they made games that were as amazing as people claimed them to be this wouldn't be an issue. Witcher 3 gets a lot of well deserved praise because it's a well fuckin made game. It's also a meme how much people like Witcher 3 that you can't even genuinely praise it without people thinking you're just riding the bandwagon.

And then there's Pokemon.

You see my point. Well some of you don't and I really have to wonder about you.

Just finished season 2.

Absolutely fantastic. However I don't think I enjoyed the Ronnie/Lily episode as much as most people seem to.

Eh some games deserve backlash tbh. Like Fallout 76 and Anthem


I have no dogs in the F76 fight, but I played a shit ton of Anthem and for all if it's problems, it does a large number of things very well.

The internet has a way of painting things in one light, and one light only

i would never give anyone shit for playing what they like but i just cant wrap my head around how pokemon has such a devoted fanbase, to the point where they have dudes in their 30s lining up for each new release


Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

that's the thing tho i was bored of them by the second gen and gave up playing the third and i was a little kid


This is exactly my experience as well.

Was an amazing time back then, and it's cool to see it's still popular

But a lot of it feels so fuckin forced man. If the games were THAT good I would understand but...they're really not?

And that nostalgia, that charm, fuck does it carry the series far.

Pokemon hype is usually pretty fun and wholesome tbh


And that's just it.

Say what you want about it but it's charming as fuck, it's a very easy pit to fall in.

It is okay to like things, and that's exactly my point. I wish some of this enthusiasm would spill into other games.

To really drive my point home here.

Go on reddit. Go on /r/gaming. Sift through the mountains of Pokemon hype and find a topic about something else, how about that new promising Star Wars singleplayer game from Respawn.

https://old.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/bxhsdc/new_promotional_art_for_respawns_singleplayer/

Oh no everyone's cynical and picking it apart.

But omg did you see the new sheep Pokemon?!?

And again

Where are they to say nice things for brand new IP's trying extremely unique things

Probably shitting on the concept and wondering what the "gameplay loop" is going to be, would be my guess.

There's always gotta be this guy that tries to be "the voice of reason" in a topic like this

But where are you when new very promising games get collectively shit on and the doubt train starts taking on passengers. If this wasn't a phenomenon specific to Pokemon because it's such an established, cherished, rose-tinted franchise then it would be a great thing for video games. But instead for everything else people can be real cynical pieces of work sometimes.

Bill Hader is phenomenal but I want to take a moment to praise the incomparable Stephen Root.

One of the best character actors ever, nails every role he's given and can do so much with so little. The guy does not get enough praise.

It feels like such an odd and enjoyable show. I am honestly surprised by how good Bill Hader comes off as a believable killer when he turns on the anger.


My exact thoughts too!

Theres something really awesome about a guy whos kinda dorky and dull in every day life with the skill set and mentality to be an absolute badass when put to it.

And he manages to find that line between both worlds and play it to perfection.

It reminds me of Dexter, but magnitudes better.

The supporting cast is fantastic as well. I especially like how its the criminal organizations that come off as incompetent and not the police.

All jabs aside though, both pronunciations are perfectly valid. But saying that one is grammatically incorrect is just demonstrably false. The closest thing to an "official" pronunciation is what the creator said.

The thing to take away from all this is just pronounce from your heart and live your life brah

Who honestly cares what the creator thinks lol. Hard g is a more natural pronunciation unless you say "jift" instead of "gift"


Unless you want two words to exist with pronunciations so close to one another that confusion is inevitable.

Also I think its probably an office thing to hate HR people because they would be playing both sides and getting in the way.

Even David Wallace has a quick line when hes interviewing Jim for the corporate job about how is HR guy is the worst.
