It was not skillfully made or imaginative. It was a very basic toybox of exotic nonsense about Samurai wrapped around a premise similar to Dances With Wolves.

It can be a bit of both. You can tell a good story that also stats true to the historical events. Not being being able to do that shows a lack of skill and imagination.

Except The Last Samurai isn’t remotely historical.
Tom Cruise’s is very roughly based in a French admiral. That admiral got sent specifically to Japan to create political relations with a certain faction of Samurai to further French interests there. The French admiral was made samurai as honorary title and put into service of the household.
During the final battle (which was a castle siege, and both sides were using guns), the French admiral was released from service and sent home.
If a movie or a series were to be made of this, and if it were to be somewhat accurate, it’d be closer to a political thriller with some battles in between.

I thought so too in the beginning. But the English character in that series is more of a… Useful tool that gets used. He has no agency and he never realises it throughout the entire series.

Joke’s on you; neither are OK. The Last Samurai is only good to those with weird exotic ideas about Samurai, Japan, and that time period.
Would be cool if there was a series about the actual French admiral that movie is based on, and all the political miandering that happened in that time.

You know, when you combine the term “2D monster taming RPG” with “absolute limits” literally everyone is going to think taming and fucking.
Anyway, Cloud Meadow exists so they got competition…

True, but some pretty good clones have come out since Hollow Knight, so it’s not impossible.
- Comment on 6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games" 1 week ago:
It doesn’t have to be the best game of all time. It just has to be at least as good as Hollow Knight.

Hmm hm… And what preventable diseases did people die of? What was the percentage of child death? How many people died from infection due to injury?
Also, blaming this on “white dudes” is throwing every other civilization that developed medicine, farming, and housing under the bus.

Maybe, but then you also have people like my brother who basically worship Jobs, and say shit like “Wozniak is expendable.”
I told him people like Wozniak are the real geniuses who actually make shit work, and he told me straight faced that without people like Jobs people like Wozniak will probably just have a desk job.

Nintendo hates all emulators. Ryujinx is just another one on their chopping block.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 2 weeks ago:
“Aggressively cliché” huh?
So… Where are all the realistic medieval sandbox RPGs? You know, of the kind set in an actual historical period?
Or… Or… How often has capturing the freedom and complexity of D&D in a videogame been attempted so accurately?
For something to even approach becoming a cliché there’d have to be a lot of that particular something done in exactly that particular way. So please do give a nice long list of games exactly like Kingdom Come Deliverence and Baldur’s Gate 3, because clearly everyone must’ve missed them.

It does. Piracy is a service issue. The games exist. They’re easy to emulate. Company tries to pull off artificial scarcity. Players become pirates
- Comment on Github: Nintendo Submit DMCA Notices to Ryujinx Forks 3 weeks ago:
And yet there’s an incredibly high demand for playing old Nintendo games. When Nintendo occasionally sells emulated old games on newer consoles, they tend to sell pretty well. The NES and the SNES mini were much sought after abd best-sellers.
So imagine if Nintendo offers the games in their entire retro library (that they are licensed to offer) with an official emulator for people to buy. That would evaporate the piracy of retro Nintendo games pretty quickly.
However, Nintendo doesn’t want that. They like completely manufactured, artificial scarcity. And so there’s piracy. A lot of piracy.

The amount of times I’ve heard salty right wing grifters complain about Orwellian censorship on literally everything. But I guess it’s just fine if cult leader Trump dies it, because before he stands for what’s right and sticks it to those progressive plebs, right?
- Comment on Github: Nintendo Submit DMCA Notices to Ryujinx Forks 3 weeks ago:
They don’t want people to play their old games either. Nintendo creates an artificial scarcity by only occasionally releasing older titles to their newer consoles, despite that those older titles are quite literally running on emulators… Emulators that use a lot of the open source code the community they hate has created.

Cool thing is that here in Copenhagen a lot of privately owned places now also use cardboard lids. As someone who delivers food for a living, I’m also happy about the change because cardboard lids have far more fiction and don’t pop off as easily when transporting.

Yes. I caught on to this waaaaaaaayyyy back when League just starting getting traction, esports weren’t really a thing, and I also played some Yu Gi Oh.
Both has the same sort of design, as ilæustrated nicely by this meme; the match is nearly always decided early, and for the rest of the game you’re either just styling on the opponents, or you are getting styles on.
Victories didn’t feel good, losses felt even worse, and I began to understand why people rage and break their keyboard. Games like these fuel such behaviour.
