It turns out that when you spend money to develop a game and then cancel it, the game doesn’t sell any copies and ends up with a negative financial impact on the company.

Someone should take notes. For science. And then fax those notes to someone else.

Really wearing that inspiration on the shoulder, aren’t we?

Enemies taking turns attacking you has been used in a huge variety of games in order to make the game feel fair or balanced to the player. Otherwise you end up with situations where the player gets stun locked in an animation or one shot killed, unable to engage in the combat at all, and many people do not find that fun and call it artificial difficulty. This can happen in any game, but is visible in games like Monster Hunter or Dark Souls where the player is attacked by multiple enemies at once.

The Colecovision is basically the Intellivisions cooler cousin.

Strange indeed.

So like Lucky Star but stuff actually happens?

Fastest way to get me to block you, right here.

The DD was a really good idea from Nintendo, but using floppy disks instead of just regular CDs was a big oversight. Classic Nintendo bending over dollars to pick up pennies in an effort to prevent piracy.

I haven’t watched it because this is my question as well. For the first time this might be the anime where I would explicitly search for the censored version if I did decide to watch it, but considering the plot that I am aware of, it doesn’t make sense to me who this is designed for.

Overweight people probably won’t like it for obvious reasons. Average anime viewers probably won’t watch it because there are other anime with arguably better or interesting plots.

To me, this is a desperation show. This is the show I would expect the only person to watch it is either a person with a fat fetish, or a person who has already watched literally everything else.

For some reason I didn’t see this was an anime episode discussion and I thought this was a new thumbnail for a Ceres Fauna VOD.

Is this anime any good, that you can tell from episode 1? I get sometimes it can be hard to tell only from a single episode, but maybe I will check it out.

If he hated it then why didn’t he change it? Who would have questioned him, the guy had nearly unreigned power and could have easily changed it. I never said Hitler was a socialist. He was just selfish (among other unsavory things).

Regardless, since this is quite offtopic I will refrain from posting further here. Perhaps if a future topic arises we may meet again in that thread.

I mean, they were against capitalism, and advocated the nationalization of services like health care and public transportation. These are socialist values. They even claimed many Christians were political enemies of Germany.

Granted, later on it would likely be more accurate to call them “Hitlerists,” because Hitler literally didn’t care about socialism or nationalism and used them only as a stepping stool to get what he wanted. But the point still stands that their values that got their party to popularity were socialist in nature.

This is true, but labelling everyone you don’t like or don’t agree with a “Nazi” (or “Communist/Socialist” if you’re politically right) is not very intelligent. [Interesting fact, Nazis were actually socialists. The term Nazi is a shortened version of the german term for National Socialist, which is part of their full name: National Socialist Workers Party of Germany.]

Being targetted by everyone probably does mean you did something wrong. That’s why actual, real Nazis ARE targetted by everyone.

As many as you want. A story feels “woke” when the character’s skin color is important to their creation, or if their inclusion in the story feels forced. Nobody complains about Mr. T being in the A Team or Samuel L Jackson playing Mace Windu in Star Wars, because those characters do not feel like their inclusion was forced. Their race didn’t really matter to their character or story, and their dialogue and acting was equally as good as everyone else’s. Basically, those characters didn’t feel like they were there to check a box, they felt like they were always supposed to be there from the beginning, black skin or not.

Sometimes, its contextual. For example, a story taking place in medieval Europe could potentially have a black person in it, but any more than one or two would probably feel forced. When thinking about medieval Europe, black people did exist but they were not a common sight. A person who is interested in that kind of story would expect the vast majority of the story’s characters to be white Europeans, and there might be one or two characters that aren’t.

Another point to keep in mind is that a fantasy world doesn’t need to follow the rules of current society. In your story, slavery could be legal, or the age of consent could be 403 years old. It doesn’t matter because is a made up world, a fantasy. Fantasy doesn’t always mean ideal or perfect, and I would argue that the best fantasy settings are the ones that you wouldn’t want to live in on a daily basis. An imperfect world, where people suffer from.various things, give a good backdrop to explore various types of stories that are relatable enough to a person without being too real. A fantasy story’s general purpose is simply to provide people with a temporary escape from reality, so if they start seeing things which remind them of reality such as social political talking point, they may be less inclined to feel like they can escape, and thus will have a negative view of the world you created.

Probably because of the Blackstone purchase of that manga firm. Blackstone has enough money to make a lawsuit literally last forever, I am sure they probably also have many judges in their pocket. Anyone in a legal battle with them will be bankrupt long before the company even has to worry about finances.

Also, Blackstone is connected to BlackRock, and that has all sorts of awful implications for the future of the manga published by the firm now owned by Blackstone.

Capcom has announced that it is ending Exoprimal’s seasonal updates as Season 4 comes to a close. However, online servers will remain functional and previous seasons will be rotating through the game monthly.

This isn’t the same thing as ending support, but okay.

That doesn’t have anything to do with gaming, no.

Although I don’t see that as the icon for the community. I use Connect for Lemmy and this community shows that it doesn’t have an icon, so perhaps this is a default icon set by your home instance or preferred frontend?

Its a guarantee.

Well its the same with Lemmy, but the point still remains that Lemmy makes Reddit look like far right extremists but both Lemmy and Reddit are currently predominantly politically left.

Independence Day really was a good movie. Its too bad they don’t make movies like it anymore.
