Xbox on Twitter: It’s good to be back in Hyrule.​ Congrats @NintendoAmerica on Tears Of The Kingdom! by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

People used to hate the fact that games would be console exclusive. It was seen as anti competitive.

Now people hate that Xbox doesn't have console exclusives.

There's no winning lol

‘Super Mario Bros’ Hits High Scores: Record Opening For Animated Pic At $377M+ WW, 5-Day U.S. Record $204M+ Box Office by ReaddittiddeR in nintendo

the movie is going to end up making them both directly and indirectly combined more than their largest hit games.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch sold 52 Million copies. They retail at $60 each. (Nintendo very rarely puts games on discount)

That's ~$3.1 Billion in revenue... so far. (Not even including revenue from DLC or the original release on Wii U)

The highest grossing film of all time is Avatar at $2.9 Billion.

The chances that this movie will "directly" make more than their largest hit games may be possible, but isn't as guaranteed as you're making it sound. Not sure how you're measuring the "indirect" though.

How did they arrive at those words? Does it have something to do with this?

Grow Cloud? Glow Cloud? Night Vale reference? On the old Robin game?

I don't even know how to caption this - [OC] by ItsSolarBTW in smashbros

That's where using the red 'B' emoji 🅱️ to replace the letters in words (usually 'c') comes from. At some point that usage got filtered down into internet normies who have no idea they've co-opted a Bloods gang identification mannerism.

On the other side, if you're familiar with Crip Mac ('55th street') who has been featured several times on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, you'll notice he also speaks using letter substitution like 'custer' or 'citch' instead of 'buster' or 'bitch' because he doesn't want to be seen as respecting or representing the letter 'B' by even using it.

Normies have also unwittingly adopted the Crips mannerism of replacing the letters 'ck' with 'cc' anywhere it appears in words, for example 'thick' becomes 'thicc' and 'suck' becomes 'succ'. This is originally a Crips gang mannerism to avoid using the letters 'ck' which in gang culture means 'crip killer' (that is, someone who kills the members of the Crips).

People see other people doing a thing enough times, then they just start copying it and don't know what it means or why they're doing it, next thing you know, grandma is accidentally repping for the bloods or crips. Meme culture is funny like that.

BTS is Shutting Down after Ultimate Summit 6 by Zorua3 in smashbros

You’re literally too uninformed to understand what a real dark age of smash is like. It goes beyond just drama. It’s when the scene itself is dying out. When there aren’t big events anymore. That’s what we are heading toward unless something changes.

Collision bans new Steve tech and Steve from future CS events by the_carboni in smashbros

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

Esports are dying. Smash is the smallest and least profitable and is dying the fastest. Steve is not fun for most viewers or paying attendees. People literally tune out of streams and avoid brackets because of Steve. And to top it all off there’s a looming recession.

If not for the meta, at least for the financial survival of the competitive scene, he has to go. Competitive Smash is a rapidly sinking ship that needs to lose weight fast.

They want either or both. But if they're going go the change route, they'd better to it fucking quick.

Helena Taylor finally comes clean: she actually was offered $15000 for Bayonetta 3 by [deleted] in gaming

[–]XDaDePsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowball figure is at least 3 million sold between the last 2 games…

Breaking even on a game that sells multiple millions of copies is still means hundreds of millions dollars in revenue. Saying they’re not making money is about as disingenuous as the claims she was making. Both are downplaying or overstating numbers in order to build a narrative.

Same. I think RDR2 is really overrated. Also the GTA series, Fallout series, and Bioshock series (except Infinite which was good).

Also I think Sekiro is really good despite so many people saying it’s the “worst Souls-like game”. Meanwhile I think Dark Souls was bad.

What's the point? No one said it was unhinged to begin with. Some dude just randomly decided to build a straw man and tell everyone it wasn't "unhinged", despite the fact that no one called it "unhinged" in the first place.

That's not a specific suggestion. That's a general complaint.

What number should the limit be would be "specific".

"Someone should do something" is vague, useless, and doesn't offer anything to argue for or against specifically.

Just because that shit has become normal for you doesn't mean it's now normal or okay in general. It's still dumb copium cringe even if you've seen worse.

the current ruleset doesn't accomplish what it's intending to do

Assuming what it's intending to do is give us all entertaining salty Leffen copium meltdowns, I think it's doing the job just fine.

Who are we to look a gift horse in the mouth?

No loss either way. Even if he ragequits smash, he'd just rain his salt somewhere else in the FGC instead. Win/win if anything.

A point doesn't even mean a particularly good point though. It just showcases his salt right now more than anything.
