I was aware it was a pre-existing term, but it’s seeing a bit of resurgence, even in music, presumably because the younger generations think they’re inventing things left and right.
What on earth is crust-punk by the way? First I’ve ever heard of that.

-Core is the new term for just aesthetics, and I think that’s much more fitting over punk. Though in the case of steampunk, it’s one of the oldest -punks so getting people to swap over to steamcore or something would probably be met with a lot of opposition.

What an incredibly superficial comparison.
“BotW/TotK is the same because it’s an open world anime game with action combat.” “Tales of Arise is a seemingly open world anime game with action combat.” “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an open world anime (realistic style but still anime AF) game with action combat.”
Blue Protocol is an MMO, with MMO gameplay and design philosophy that just happens to have a cel shaded anime aesthetic which has existed loooooooong before Genshin somehow ‘monopolised’ the style. Meanwhile Genshin is a mostly single player experience with some online elements. Look at your apples before you start calling them oranges.
If anything, the article talks about the developers being surprised at how much of a casual audience the game attracted and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the exact same people that are comparing it to Genshin somehow thought they’d get the same experience out of a grindy MMO.

It’s important for children with celiacs or allergies as even a tiny amount of exposure can have catastrophic effects. They don’t need to consume it, even touching it can affect them.
- Comment on Saw this and thought it was fake until I googled. It's real. 3 weeks ago:
kids are dumb, they like things that we as adults wouldn’t even consider ‘enjoying’, an afternoon behind the counter of a fast food restaurant they like going to would absolutely be a blast for a child. same reason why we had the macca’s fisher price thing back in the 90s, or Barbie sets with real world grocery items, it’s a different type of playground for them.

Here’s another one, Solace Dreams youtu.be/IcrYfmkPl-E also really impressive, though the game didn’t seem all that balanced when this video was posted, not sure if it’s been improved since or if the creators moved on to another project.
- Comment on New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters 4 weeks ago:
Doom wads and hacks in recent years have been doing some absolutely insane things, and it’s only been getting better as more and more people are realising the things they can do with it. I’m not surprised in the slightest.
Total Chaos has got to be the most mind-blowing to me, it’s a total conversion mod built of GZDoom. youtu.be/L7IITZDBvqE

It was already being developed for PC… until Sony stepped in.

What irks me the most is the effort these idiot parents will go to give their baby as basic a name as “Allison” or "Ashley"
- Ashlie
- Ashlee
- Ashly
- Ashleigh
- Ashlea
- Ashli
- Ashely
- Ashlei
- Ashleah
- Asheleigh
- Ashelie
- Ahshlee
- the list goes on and on and on No amount of vowels is going to make your kid’s name stand out when at the end of the day it’s the same pronunciation as the most common, basic form of it.
Mötley might be weird but it’s at least unique.

The shoes are probably worthless to most folks, +%400 stamina isn’t a whole lot when you only have 1 stamina. Would they work during sex? You’re faster, but also last longer?
I’d probably take the mask, just because that’s what would benefit me the most right now.

A lot of folks are sleeping on mobile games either because they’re mobile games or because of gacha, when a small amount of research (in the right places) will inform you on what the quality of the games are as well as how much gacha is required to enjoy the game. A lot of which don’t “require” it or give you more than enough to obtain enough out of it to progress (usually the gear based ones). Though if you outright don’t like the blatant waifu/husbando nature a lot of them have you’re free to avoid those, no point in forcing yourself to do something you don’t like.
Genshin Impact for example, might have a massive number of players, but I have found the game itself and the storytelling to be very underrated because folks either expect far too much out of it or just don’t care. Even out of my friend group there’s a few that only play to collect characters, that’s their prerogative. It’s also technically not a mobile game since it is available on just about everything, but it does have a gacha and therefore gets lumped in with other mobile games.
I can understand why some folks were put off by the first act back when the game was new and there wasn’t much else to do, but it’s grown considerably and there’s a lot more available to new players to keep them occupied during downtime. Like an entire TCG mode that gets updated regularly and even has its own competitive scene.
A lot of these games have more effort put into them than full releases on consoles and it amuses me how many players are quick to shit on mobile games when the games they play on whatever other devices are either worse, equally if not more “predatory”, or similar enough that they would enjoy it if they actually gave it a chance.
- Comment on GameStop’s definition of “New” 7 months ago:
Same thing happened to me recently with their stupid BOGO sale, I bought Xenoblade Chronicles DE and Skyward Sword “New” and they sent me both packages with no plastic wrapping whatsoever, the pre-owned stickers very obviously ripped off and lots of damage to the cases. I went to a brick and mortar to return it and they didn’t reimburse my shipping fees, I had to call customer support for them to give that back to me.
I tried to just buy them new in store and they told me they “don’t carry rare games like that anymore.” I said fuck it, and went to my local Walmart for Xenoblade and Target for Skyward Sword and it cost me less. What a fucking joke. GameStop is trash.
My most recent gripe is with Amiibo, Nintendo literally announced some new ones recently and yet none of their supposed retailers carry them, aside from Amazon who have ridiculous upcharges on them. So if you can’t buy them directly from Nintendo you’re shit outta luck cuz good luck finding anyone that sells them for retail price.
