Fair enough! I still prefer the implied version, but it’s definitely nice to have alternatives.
Also, I haven’t kept up with SF6. I was surprised Akuma wasn’t a launch character.

I’m seeing a lot of his moves from 3rd Strike, which is nice. Not a fan of that raging demon though. I still think it’s better the less of it you see and the more of it that’s implied.
Is the 35th anniversary the release of 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy on the Switch? I’d say the artificial scarcity aspect to induce fomo wasn’t any better. It might have even been worse.
They were being sarcastic, by the way.
I’m curious, where’s “over here” for you? I’m not super involved in politics here in the US, but I don’t think surrogacy is really talked about much here? There’s the people who vehemently oppose it (from my experience that’s mostly the religious right), but almost any interaction I’ve had discussing it just lists it as an option people can consider.
I should mention that I’m Bi and don’t have a kid, so I mostly hear about it from the context of same sex couples.
I think they meant guaranteed income prior to selling the game, since they had no way of knowing how successful (if at all) the game was going to be once released.
It’s possible to enjoy problematic media for parts of it that aren’t problematic while still acknowledging there are issues with what you’re enjoying. Especially for things made in the past, where societal standards weren’t the same as they are now.
I think this is especially true for video games, which have both story/visuals and game play. I could sympathize if someone found the game play of an older game very compelling even in the face of problematic story/visuals. Likewise, I can understand someone not enjoying a game specifically because they find it’s story/visuals offensive.
At the end of the day, as long as you can understand that a part of older media would be found as offensive to people today, understand why those parts are offensive, and know that those parts aren’t ok for modern media, then you’re good.
On the flip side, if you specifically, unironically enjoy these games for those parts, then yeah, you’re probably racist.
Edit: and in respect to your other posts here, I’ll add this: my understanding is that the mod was specifically targeting only that disclaimer, which means the mod maker specifically disagreed with the disclaimer. That is what makes it racist. If it skipped all intros in the game (which it sounds like it didn’t), or if the game didn’t have a built in option to turn that disclaimer off (which it sounds like it does) then people wouldn’t have as much of an issue with the mod.
I find it interesting, especially for games from smaller teams. But I suppose that don’t really add anything to the larger conversation. I just find it interesting to hear how some of these games are doing.
Correct, the PSP game got a remake that’s been out for a bit.
I hope they continue to release AA titles though, like Star Ocean and Harvestella. They actually released a ton of games over 2022/2023, but at some point I think they were competing with themselves.
It doesn’t, but most game sales are front loaded at release. Having 8 months on the shelf still makes a difference, for sure, but it’s still notable that it was number 1.
Correct. When I found out it wasn’t going to be on steam, I figured I’d get a physical copy for the PS5 instead. Found out that wasn’t all option either…
It’s true, we give trials and similar protections to citizens of other nations, but if someone weren’t part of a nation at all, why bother? There wouldn’t be a larger body of organization that would be interested in protecting them.
And we have suspended that right to non-citizens before. That was a major issue with Gitmo (in addition to the cruel and unusual punishment)
The thing that annoys me about “Sovereign Citizens” representing themselves in court/thinking that they somehow aren’t beholden to US law because of some stupid declaration on their part is that the law and the court are there for their sake. Having a trial, being presumed innocent until proven guilty, and entire idea of due process is afforded to citizens of the United States. If “Sovereign Citizens” truly weren’t US citizens, there wouldn’t be a need to go through all of this. The government could just seize them and do whatever they wanted with them. They wouldn’t have any government to go to bat for them.
It’s all just so stupidly short sighed
The development time on that game was also super rushed, compared to what the game needed. That’s why you don’t recruit any of the ME2 companions to be in your squad (since they could all die) and why so many decisions from earlier games didn’t really pan out if you had a save where the decisions didn’t match what Bioware was able to plan for/had time to develop. I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if they barely even got the ending they had finished in time to ship.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard of this before. I’m not sure how I feel about the environments in the trailer. I think the game looks largely visually appealing, but the trees/snow/rocks seems to clash with the character models.
I thought Amy Hennig worked on Legacy of Kain, which did come out on PC.
I’m almost willing to bet they’ll release a Golden/Royal version a year or two after this version that has the portable content in it, if they do anything with the portable content at all. They wouldn’t do something so consumer friendly as release it as dlc, they’ll make you rebuy the entire game instead.
I’ve heard good things about Cozy Grove, though I haven’t played it yet. Seems like a good Steam Deck game
Expect to see memes about it too in other communities. This’ll be the front page of most fediverse instances in some fashion for the rest of the day I imagine
