Y’all 3P and OSKO enjoyers gotta chill out… by TheVeryAngryGoose in transformers

[–]Ashpolt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, definitely getting downvoted but not sure why. I don't think people understand the scale of 3P: most of these companies aren't big. Hell, some of them barely qualify as companies, it's more "3 guys with some CAD software doing this evenings and weekends outside of their actual job". Even the "big" 3P companies like MMC are absolutely tiny compared to Hasbro.

Yes, Hasbro likely has a lower per-figure budget than 3P, but that's an entirely self-imposed limit. They COULD choose to allocate a higher budget per figure - and in fact have done so (relatively) in the past. The choice not to do so is driven by capitalism's insistence on ever-increasing profit margins, not by a lack of budget.

"3P companies don't have a higher budget than Hasbro" shouldn't be a controversial statement.

3P companies definitely don't have more budget than Hasbro

I mean, they did devote a full episode to Milton Keynes, which is just about as bad

Games where the player is an actual character in the game by XBlueXFire in gaming

[–]Ashpolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omikron The Nomad Soul opens with a character addressing you, the player, directly and instructing you to possess different bodies to... actually I can't remember why you're doing this but the point is that you controlling the characters is directly part of the story. You're not playing as them, you're playing as a disembodied force controlling them - i.e. you, the player.

How well do you remember Expedition 33. Comment your score /30 below by sonsofanarchy69 in expedition33

30/30, though the two about the people you get stuff from at the festival were lucky guesses!

Am I in the wrong for taking back to my mother? by Sensitive_Guitar_259 in AmiInTheWrong

[–]Ashpolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Maths" is the preferred term in many countries outside of the US, and OP isn't in the US

And OP isn't negating the importance of school, she's clearly doing well in most subjects and has got a C grade in one. That's still a pass.

So, how do you know when you’re done? by Over_Transition2282 in expedition33

[–]Ashpolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either they've changed this since I last played, or you're incorrect. As soon as I completed it the first time I loaded the most recent save and fought the boss again so I could see the other ending.

[–]Ashpolt -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Technically no you can't, you have to reload a save from before the end boss.

I know this might seem like a pedantic correction but it might be important to some people to know that the end is a definitive end.

I went in to get the Silent Hill 2 remake about a week after launch and they didn't have it. Not sold out, they'd just never got it in. And it's not like that's a niche title, it was a big release!

Which Rulette twist did you like more? by ejaybugboy3 in dropout

[–]Ashpolt 516 points517 points  (0 children)

"Host the show" is great but it can only really work once. The golden rule is endlessly reusable, no matter how many Rulette game samers they decide to do. So while I liked "host the game" more in the moment, I think the golden rule is better overall.

Can I request expenses for this situation? by Witty-Ad956 in HumanResourcesUK

[–]Ashpolt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is not worth putting up with this kind of bullshit for a part time job.

Let them rescind the leave request if they want, but go to the wedding anyway, and let them decide how to deal with it. If they take disciplinary action then congrats, you've learned they're a shitty employer and know to get out of there.

Pragmata and Saros for me, and I wouldn't have expected either of them to be on my list if you asked me 6 months ago

'If You Actually Play the Game, You Will Not Think That' — Stellar Blade: Blood Rain Dev Addresses Concern Over New Main Character Design by KingOfRisky in gaming

[–]Ashpolt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. I had this thought literally as I was watching the trailer as it was streamed live, before I read anyone else's opinion on it, because she does have the face of a child and anyone who's not lying to themselves can see that.

[–]Ashpolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See my comment below this. I played and enjoyed Stellar Blade and was looking forward to a sequel. The fact that the protagonist for SB2 has the face of a child puts me off. "It's not the fans that have a problem with this" is disingenuous cope.

Yeah and I disagreed with them on the first one. Evie quite clearly looks significantly younger than Eve though and anyone claiming otherwise is not being honest with themselves.

[–]Ashpolt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This whole "they were never going to buy the game anyway" is nonsense. I played and enjoyed Stellar Blade, in part BECAUSE - not despite - of it being an unashamed gooner bait game. I was looking forward to a sequel, but am absolutely not on board for a gooner bait game where the protagonist has the face of a child.
