You just need to realign expectations. Like when this happened in 2008ish, the need for the E3 mega media event is dead for the big 3 companies. That doesnt mean it doesnt have value as what it actually is at its heart: a trade show. It doesnt need to be a live streaming press conference event in a theater. Nintendo Read more

I was at E3 last year and it suuuuucked. The West Hall was boring as all hell and really creepy with the big empty space Sony used to fill, as well as the tits and ass Japanese games in that side. Read more

I could see “deminonbinary” as a valid identity; it would mean you’re a little bit nonbinary. Most people use “demigirl” or “demiboy” though. And using his nickname as his pronouns could *really* be communicated better; I do know people who don’t like pronouns at all, they just prefer their name to be said in all Read more

I feel like anyone involved with anti-terf rhetoric or just progressive rhetoric in general would not use the word “feminazi” by any measure. It’s possible it’s just a miscommunication, but it does create immediate red flags.

That’s like black person proclaiming how much they hate race-baiting. Could be innocent, but Read more

Jim Spanfeller is doing more to hurt the internet than the dot com bust. Deadspin is dead, Kotaku is dying. Where are we gonna get the good shit? Read more

Jim Spanfeller is a boneheaded incompetent idiot and I have no idea why anyone would expect him to make a smart business decision. Read more

The stakes seem pretty low when you all say you’d look forward to loosing and playing your opponents game. You need better stakes that involve the podcast in some way. (Like if Kirk wins you must introduce him as a music God for all of 2021 on the podcast, just as an example) Read more

Perhaps it says something about this particular genre that it’s hard to enjoy it today without being able to speed things up, but that’s a conversation for another time. Read more

Jason already has you covered, but I’d also like to chime in and say: Start with Trails in the Sky FC. The characters are charming and well rounded, probably the best outside of the Persona series, and the world is huge and well designed.

Trails in the Sky. If you enjoy that trilogy, I recommend taking the time to obtain the unofficial english translations of the two Crossbell games before playing Cold Steel because all the games are essentially direct sequels to another, but with some of Cold Steel happening at the same time as Azure/Zero.

Playing DQVIII on 3DS right now and boy is it better with fast-forwarding through battle animations. At first I felt like I was cheating myself out of the full experience, but it’s there for a reason. Avail yourself of it. Read more

This is a good place for me to mention how much I HAAAATE the occasional unskippable dialogue bits found in Dragon Quest Builders 2. Who on earth thought those were a good idea? They even make the opening cinematic unskippable! Read more

no splinter runner up? I have rage there. Killing a strongly left leaning blog that attracted a fairly large cross section of people who could encourage each other right before the election? transparent.

Well that's a good reason!  And you and me both. Read more
