I hate how gaming discussions have devolved into this “Us vs. Them” moral crusade where even saying something is fun or poking fun at a flaw could be seen as a controversial statement. Feels like it’s become a flaw to just turn off your brain and have fun

Just wanna have fun playing Pokemon here

If you say anything positive about Nintendo, you’re a shill.

If you say anything negative about Nintendo, you’re a grifter.

You can’t win.

Nobody can win.

Everyone is a loser!

GTA 6 wasn’t in the work for 12 years, at least not in full production, it was more 6 to 7 years following RDR2 on top of still managing GTA online, and we know the latter’s existence slowed down development dramatically for other projects since it’s why singleplayer expansions were canned.

Everyone who have worked in game development following Covid will tell you that it did slow things down dramatically.

Food for thought... There's a lot of talk about speeding up game development, given how many recent games took 5-7 years to make. But many of those were hampered by the switch from Unreal 4 to 5. And ALL of them lost months to covid. Perhaps one way to make games faster is to not have a pandemic

Eh I don’t mind that one, yes Calvard a fair bit more towards west than east in its culture (safe for some places) but Zin himself is more eastern than west so I wouldn’t be surprised if he tends to eat with chopsticks more than fork & knife.

Oh wow! Those are words that I said about PAC-MAN World 2 Re-PAC! It’s nice to see us on Bandai Namco’s Paccolades trailer 👏

Yeah, I can live with stuff like Jade Tower because it’s something exclusive to Sky, but Zin being different or the Orbal Golems thing is gonna make newcomers confused when they get to post Sky entries.

I’m sure it gets more use on higher difficulty but yeah personally I barely used it.

I can think of like 2 who got the latter though I’m only one game deep in the Sky trilogy so maybe there’s someone before Sara that I don’t know about.

Sollato @sollato.bsky.social · 9h

That also works when you’re playing the games out of order, like when I did the Cold Steel arc before any others and when I was doing the Crossbell arc I had many moments where I went « Wait, you’re involved too ?! »

the Trails games are great because when you're playing trails in the sky 1 or 2 you're constantly laughing at everyone cryptically saying shit like "even HE'S getting involved now" and then by the time you're five games deep YOU'RE the one going "HE'S getting involved?!" when some fucker shows up

But Ben is dead, I don’t really see the point in doing a movie where he somehow comes back.

How many times did you quoted Terry Bogard whenever you met an NPC in this game ?

Unfortunately the poll for canonical yuri couples is very limited because of homophobic writers.

Oh yeah, Navi is basically the poster child of all this but I feel Adam takes the cake in that department because it’s on top of all the other stuff wrong with him.
