Paranomaly

I try to avoid a lot of discourse around movies/books I haven't seen yet as the expectation can ruin it for me. That said, Infinity War and Ready Player One (the book) still get me angry thinking back on them and the hype didn't help. (Public opinion seems to have flipped largely on the latter, but there was a point when it was held up)

It's not the same amount of money to an individual when it's a bigger percentage of their money. Wages haven't come close to matching inflation, so inflation has just lead to most people having to spend more on essentials and therefore having less.

This argument gets thrown around a lot but it fails to account for the fact that wages have been stagnant. So while it might cost similar with inflation, people are making less money by the same metric which still results in it being more expensive. Comparing it to prices of the 70's and 80's had the same problem as well as ignoring the difference in market scale video games have now.

It's perfectly valid for people to be upset that they're being squeezed for something that they were excited for, especially since everyone's hurting right now.

Not to say it looks bad by any means, but I think it's a shame that a game with such phenomenal pixel art is moving to 3D

I heard they were trying to use magnets for the first switch, the snapping sound effect supposed to be them snapping into place. However, they caused too much interference so they switched to the runners. I imagine, if they're trying again, they've been working on getting them working for a while.

I believe that was the same year as Fallout 76, which has come out as being made to boost Bethesda's stock before the Microsoft buyout. I would not be shocked at all if the trailer was put out solely for the same reason.

Sisters in purple are top tier

Sony has twice tried to make a handheld work, twice did fantastic with hardware with features ahead of its time and then... nothing. They immediately give up. I loved the Vita and see the Switch as basically Vita 2. A bit more work and that could have been yours, Sony.

I would love for them to get into a handheld fight with Nintendo, as both Nintendo and Sony put out much more quality stuff when they are trying to prove themselves against someone and both have been coasting in their corners for a while now.

This is fair. I am usually not in spaces where I'd see it much but have heard tell. Part of why I say it is to not have people feel shamed if they just generally like the culture/pop aesthetic involved without any baggage and to encourage people to do what they can to counter co-opt attempts

Won't happen. Not necessarily the them not buying it part, but it staying popular at all. No site/program is too big for Microsoft to torpedo. Skype used to be the verb for voice calls before they got their hands on it.

This is hyperbole. A large amount of racists and bigots are into norse stuff? Maybe. Almost all people in the norse stuff are racists and bigots? High doubt, and shouldn't be allowed to be coopted anyway. Loki is one of the few ancient figures with some gender fluid markings as it is.

Feels like this is made in an attempt to get outrage clicks, but I'm pretty sure the show has a legitimate claim to "The Game Awards" as a trademark.
