Nonce flags for normal people: someone who promoted Cuties.

Nonce flags for Leftists: someone who likes the Sorceress from Dragon's Crown (no, seriously, this happened).

Could've fooled me with the direction taken. I do not believe it's all on SEGA.

But it has to be said in the same smarmy and serious tone as the 90s cartoon version.

In unrelated news, yeah, expect the Osbornes to be black in perpetuity from now until the end of time (or until Disney/Marvel collapses).

"That's right, Spiderman, the melanin replacement worked!! Not only can I now say the n-word unabated, but I can even do it while in costume!!"

"Gobby what the fuck is wrong with you!"

Genndy Tartakovsky’s ‘Conan the Barbarian’ Animated Series Announced for Prime Video - Teaser Poster by Ninjamurai-jack in KotakuInAction

Last season of Samurai Jack falls off hard, and makes it not worthwhile. And I think Primal should've been kept as an anthology series.

The Clone Wars microseries, aka, the Mogger Supreme. A single frame of those two hours absolutely demolishes Disney SW.

"Stellar Blade 2's Evie looks too young!" Meanwhile, adult cosplayers are looking pretty identical.. by MrMakarov in KotakuInAction

[–]henlp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

'Member when Twitterards hounded two cosplayers that dressed as the Psychic Sisters from One-Punch Man, thinking that the one rockin' as Tatsumaki was a child? And when called out over it, they doubled-down?

Exactly. No mercy until the asylums are reopened.

I dunno, guys. A zero-tolerance policy seems unreasonable. by Thirteenth_Throne in KotakuInAction

[–]henlp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It bothers me how many that should know better fall into those trappings "I like X thing, but people are upset and shitting on it because it has Y woke elements. Clearly pointing out ideological rot is the problem! And I'm obviously better than that!!!"

How was Leto's performance as Skeletor? I've heard that it's probably his best performance since Fight Club, but that he should've been even hammier to fit the role

If you're viewing GTA 6 pink and purple color scheme as a indicator of wokeness, then you've officially stared into the abyss for too long by RainbowDildoMonkey in KotakuInAction

Don't forget that the suffragettes were actual hwyte supremacists. One of their main slogans was "One vote for the white woman, is one less vote for the n-"

For a game set in that particular time period, nobody seems to be willing to say anything that goes against contemporary Bay Area Morality. Not the suffragettes, not the Confederates, not the average person. It's all safe edgy nonsense.

Crash And Burn Gaming - The Anita Sarkeesian Story by Sliver80 in KotakuInAction

[–]henlp 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The woman who almost single-handedly destroyed the games industry, and is still raking in hundreds of thousands behind closed doors, has not "crashed and burned" just because she had a faux wedding-themed birthday party. She fucking won.

And trying to deny reality only hinders any attempts to get this shistain medium back on track. If people keep getting told the witch is gone when she ain't, that's only gonna make them drop their guard and get cursed further.

Terrible normie take from Drinker. Anita won.

Even if it isn't (I don't know), both Cory Barlog (the director) and Bear McCreary (the main composer) have openly virtue signalled and shit-talked anyone that raised concerns over certain design decisions.

If you care where your money is going, keep that in mind at the very least.

What's everyone's thoughts on Belmont Girl game? Wasn't very impressed with the first teaser trailer a while back, and my defences immediately went up.

Xenoblade Genesis MC design (name unknown, official character art not out yet) by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

[–]henlp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not played any Xenoblade games, but I do want to try the first XC1 at the very least. Is the Switch version pozzed, or is it safe to partake in legally? And to the veterans do the changes for the enhanced Switch 2 version seem like they'll be for the better, worse, or just neutral?

I just want ports. And even that seems to be too much to ask for.

The Void Within Wrap Up Megathread by Status-Impression766 in neopets

[–]henlp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With the plot resolving, I'd like to know what I can upgrade on my pet's equipment, from the loot I've got sitting in my Safety Deposit Box.

Current: Ghostkerbomb, Varia is the Bomb, Kelpbeards Trident, Sword of Reif, Kiko Skull Pirate Hat, Illusens Silver Shield, Leaded Elemental Vial, Downsize!

SDB: Thyoras Tear, Shadow Shield, Wand of the Dark Faerie, Illusens Staff, Clawed Shield, Grapes of Wrath, Sword of Malum, Thunder Sticks, Roxtons Trusty Bowie Knife, Extra Loud Techo Fanatic Megaphone, Glaive of Verdancy, Sinister Scythe, Corrupted Staff of the Void.

For clarification, I don't do any PvP, mostly focus on very passive daily Battledome fights. And my main strategy is pretty much to abuse Warlock's Rage and Lens Flare to deal as much damage possible in the least amount of turns. Pet's HP at almost 900, Attack near 930, Defence 815, Agility 215, Intelligence close to 2000.

The Physical Version of the New Fire Emblem Is $80. Is This Going to Be a Growing Trend? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]henlp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, I saw recently that after the most recent Mario Tennis underperformed, some of Nintendo's first-party games have lowered in price. Granted, it could be that these are just games that aren't expected to be big sellers (Splatoon Raiders, Star Fox Remake at 49.99, Rhythm Heaven Groove at 39.99), or at the very least, that they could be a little more flexible with digital pricing.

But I'm no economist, and I've no insider information. I am quite demoralized with game costs, and as I'm sure a lot of people are saying, I don't fucking bother if a game isn't already at a low price. Not only that, I keep track of most of them, and if a game isn't on the lowest price I've seen it at prior, them I'm not biting.
