>God damn, I love that movie. It's so cool. In my opinion, it's Will Smiths best movie.
That and "Men in Black"

I preferred Independence Day.

Daisuke, who created Guilty Gear, has said Bridget was always intended to be trans so IMO that should settle the debate once and for all

At WORST we can criticize him for some awkward ways of trying to write around this when he came up with her first backstory in the 90s, likely not realizing it might come off as odd many years later, but I do believe he is being 100% sincere that Bridget was always meant as a trans woman and it's only been recently when trans acceptance is finally much higher than it was back in the 90s that he's now able to go "this is what I always meant, y'all just weren't ready for it back then."

I don’t speak that much about myself, but back then, about or over a decade ago, I used to watch and follow a bunch of watch content creators that are very right leaning. Such as TheQuartering, GeeksandGaming, Mauler, Clownfish, ShortFatOtaku, and so-on. Until one day, I just stop watching them one by one somewhere around 2019.

But back then, it wasn’t due to me changing my viewpoints around certain people or ethnic groups. That was far later during the covid pandemic when I come into terms about the world around me and how my family process the events since I was also a shut-in, so the quarantine regulation didn’t effect me much. It was the time that I starting to reflect on myself on a bunch of things.

But what really make me stop watching them all together is that their content is boring as fuck. Out of the majority of videos, the three things these people talk about is Disney, Marvel, and Starwars. Which is at this point, is Disney, DISNEY, and DISNEY. with the same rebuttal like the previous video and so forth. Granted, it’s not like this is all they talk about, but even with the exceptions they don’t talk about it in it’s own merits. They somehow had to compare it to whatever current Disney property during that time, regardless of the similarities. It make me realize that people don’t watch them for engagement or entertainment, they watch them for the endorsement of their own opinions. And I dislike Disney as much as the next guy, but I’m pretty sure that me and the other guy would have vastly different reasons for it.

Now as of late, I’ve been watch a bunch of central to very left leaning content creators who discusses so much about the media that I’ve never know, contrast to the past previous decade. I was introduce to so many games, shows, animation, comics, films, and books than I ever had. And looking at their videos now, I’m glad that I dodge the bullet because they somehow become worse over the years. especially QuarterPounder

I'd say it's the opposite.

Him coming out and saying that makes the discussion more evergreen because there's also the matter of whether he's means it or whether he's going down the blizzard entertainment route of "this was always the plan" while lying through their teeth

I thought ShortFatOtaku was a centrist.

Don't you know that everyone to the right of Hasan and Destiny is right wing now?

In all seriousness, I used to like Dev's videos because he seemed fair and unbiased but over time I have noticed he has been acting more and more smug and dishonest and kept arguing in bad faith while getting into beefs with other right wing YouTubers.
I stopped following him after the whole Pikamee situation.

What did he do to Pikamee?

He was basically defending her getting harassed over that Hogwarts Legacy debacle and thinks she "should have controlled her response".

I might sound like a dumbass, but I do not like how some of media nowadays doesn't use the edge with some stuff to show the point of how hatred can corrupt you.
Sure, it would seem problematic, but some things must be problematic otherwise they are just boring and safe.
I was going to mention POSTAL series, but I would sound like some nincompoop would yell "This series doesn't make slur look bad. It's safe edgy now.". I would rather have the series become serious again or have RWS focus on bringing back their non-POSTAL projects back to life.

I wrote this before on vent thread:
2D games, 2.5D games and top-scrollers in general should maximally cost $40. And Pokemon mainline games should be top-scrollers. $40 and money will be well spent.

Don't be fooled by 3D graphics. 2D games can still require tremendous amounts of work(though not necessarily in terms of graphics) and 3D can take a lot less than you'd think.

Expecting some cap on price based on graphics feels very arbitrary even if there might be logical reasons why many might conform to such a limit.

@Mistress: That's fair obviously, but tbh I can't blame anyone who's skeptical of something that took ~20 years to do even if the dev hasn't been controversial or the reasons make sense. Or at least without building up to it. I know nothing about guilty gear though so that's outside of what I can speak on.

oh. i see. perhaps i just didn't like how Nintendo publishes AA games with a $60 price when Capcom published Megaman 11 with a $30 price.

While the thread is on nintendo, I found this really neat video on the palworld situation that makes me sympathize with nintendo a little bit more. Cultural copyright laws are weird, sony is backing palworld specifically in part to chip away at nintendos dominance and thats likely why nintendo sued them, and copyright law in Japan vs America is why there's such a divide on when say, a fan game gets taken down
