Damn, what a wild take.
Nintendo might not be as innovative as some indie games but they constantly innovate and define new genres.
I mean, look at the consoles. Wii, Wii U, and Switch are all crazy innovative.
Some of their more innovative stuff might not be as popular, e.g., ARMS and LABO. Even their mainline series have some innovative mechanics for the genre.
Serious question. What company is more innovative than Nintendo?

What? No. The divisibility of the side lengths have nothing to do with this.
The problem is what’s the smallest square that can contain 17 identical squares. If there were 16 squares it would be simply 4x4.

Mad Men: I feel bad for you. I don’t think about you at all.
Similar vibe, but I think about this scene/meme a lot as well.
Likewise, Don Draper is being an asshole in the scene. But, in reality most people don’t think about you.
They could say something that offended you. They are going to forget about it. So there is no need to be upset, chances are they forgot about it.
You could say something dumb or embarrassing. People are going to forget almost immediately.

They upload a ton to YouTube, but it’s mostly on their shorts channel. I’m sure they upload to TikTok and stuff also.
- Comment on Nintendo discontinuing Gold Points on the Switch eShop, ahead of Switch 2 release 5 months ago:
I have small hands and my kids use it without complaining. It’s bigger than a Switch, but not too much bigger. I’ve traveled with it plenty.

Do you subscribe to A24 Zines? I just googled it.

+1 for Halls of Torment
It’s a really solid entry in the rogue-lite vampire-survivors-like genre that Diablo enjoyers could pick up really easily
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th. 9 months ago:
He did at one point. I think he’s said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.
It’s really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.
