I doubt it's the case that anybody is going to hold *themselves* accountable. I'm sure everybody is just like "yeah, those harassers are real bad news. i wish they didn't harass anybody. i feel bad that happened and i didn't stop them but it certainly wasn't me!"

there's an imposter among us

Person A joins the protests and asks for more accountability because everyone is doing it.

Blizzard decides to fire some people as a show that they're being more accountable.

Person A is one of those fired because he was one of the harassers.

How is this a bad thing?

I'm not sure how I'd want an FFXIV day to be done. I think the best way would be to get four ratings for ARR and the three expansions? Rating it as a whole doesn't really make sense when it's not all out.

The difference in medium does, or will, matter to some people. A

Do you have any evidence to back you up? Any at all? There's been plenty of movies with CGI animals in live action that have fighting that people still like (Sonic being the most recent one).

People are more willing to just turn their brains off and accept a dumb premise in those mediums, especially games, where the story is only part of the draw. But something about seeing a fictional world portrayed in a photorealistic manner makes people question things a lot harder.

You think this will have photorealistic Pokemon...?

I'm not sure it's "slowness" in and of itself that I have a problem with, but dangling too many plot threads & characters at the start and then slowly unraveling them. If a show starts off very simple and stays there for a while before getting complex, I'm generally 100% on board (like One Piece, which introduces very little that's not immediately relevant, but many say has a slow build.)

Yeah, One Piece was really good for that. They introduced Gol D. Roger and the One Piece early on, and dealt with both of them in the first 10 episodes.

I was astonished how bad the end credits of Azure were, and I played the game before playing any of the Cold Steels. They were felt rushed and silly enough even without CS existing, but they hurt CS itself, too, in many worse ways. They wouldn't have the same painful effect if you played all the CS games first, of course. I would agree that the game would be better if that part simply didn't exist, and it's a shame they didn't delete it in the Kai version.

The thing is 2/3 of these shows have major character resurrections, so sure, Dr. Strange 2 can have a throwaway line about Vision being alive, but I highly doubt they're going to have a flashback/joke/recap that does a satisfying job of explaining that, so people are going to think they need to watch the shows.

It's a business strategy basically.

Oh hey, this is my line of work (employment defense) in the state I work at. I should read this Complaint.

Before reading it, however, I will say complaints are just bare allegations. I've seen all sorts of crazy shit alleged that is almost never true, at worst usually a misunderstanding. It's rare I get a client actually harboring overt discriminatory or otherwise oppressive workplaces.

So your job is to defend corporations from employees who accuse them of mistreatment, and you've found that corporations are the good guys and the employees are never actually mistreated...?

Just as a note, it's kinda hentai-ish.

I actually read the Kaguya manga up to the current chapter last week. It's pretty great stuff! I like it wayyy more than what I saw of the anime. I dunno, just feels like the comic timing is better. The series kinda gets better as it goes along too, up to a certain point at least (I like the comedy more than the serious parts, and the serious:comedy ratio increases as the manga goes). The romance gets pretty good as it goes along. It kinda reminds me of how a lot of shoujo series do romance, but with a twist. Maybe the best thing about the series is how unique and creative it feels? Like it's not just doing typical anime things (most of the time at least). The comedy never stops being funny, either. Just excellently constructed all around.

Main character ranking: Ishigami > Chika > Kaguya > Miko > Miyuki.

With Shirogane's dad as the #1 side character of course. Oh my god any scene with him is guaranteed to be amazing.

Can someone who knows anything about Umineko tell me if the two arcs are considered separate enough (in release terms more than story terms) to be worth considering as separate entries for the overall ranking?

They're technically released as separate games, but they're essentially one long story. I'd almost say doing all 8 games separately would make more sense than doing them as two arcs.

If you're curious about release: each of the 8 episodes was released separately, and then compiled later into Umineko (first 4 eps) and Umineko Chiru (last 4 eps).

looking at steamcharts, it looks like it's already fallen to about a tenth its launch player counts and the free version's comfortably over it again. obviously being on the platform that has to compete with the free version doesn't help but also being the definitive edition among them purely for that meta stuff, it's probably a sign that its sales are starting to drop off considerably

what is the point of this post

Almost every game sells best in its first week, particularly sequels. Even if it never sold another copy again, the 500K number would still be great.
