Nintendo is seemingly trying to charge $80 USD for Mario Kart World. The EU pricing lists different pricing between physical and digital, so I'm assuming the $80 USD for Mario Kart World is phyiscal pricing, and that digital copies will probably be $70 USD. This sucks, as it was already difficult to justify a lot of Nintendo's game offerings at $60 USD for the amount of time/content you get out of them so them embracing the $70 USD trend feels bad. Physical gamers are especially getting bent over a barrel here, though honestly the physical pricing being higher than digital doesn't surprise me given that cartridges are more expensive than disks. With Switch 1 they offered coins that served as some form of cash back on games for future digital purchases, getting 1% back on physical games and 5% back on digital purchases.

Is there a backup somewhere? The media is unavailable and I assume it got taken down.

This was at EVO in I think 2018 and had to do with ESPN as they had an agreement to broadcast on TV. Capcom wasn't to blame for this one, though something Capcom did do during this era was censor the butt slap on Mika's super after the game released.

This would be basically all of Canada anyways, with maybe the exception of Alberta.

You could use paypal on Nintendo's shop and they didn't care where the account was located. Now they will refuse payments from paypal accounts that aren't located in Japan.

Demerit points have to do with your driver's license and auto insurance. Basically if you accrue enough of them, they will take away your driver's license and possible make you go through the whole process to re-obtain it, and with enough of them you can also become uninsurable which means you need to get on the extremely expensive public insurance plan.

She has actually walked back her stance on gun control over a year ago, even before backing Trump. Her getting thrown on the no fly list was a huge red pill for her.

Reminder that they cut ties with musical artist Susan Calloway after getting mobbed by their consumer base for supporting right wing beliefs. This policy will not be used to defend others with similar views and will be abused by the left.

The real issue at the end of the day was that Sony willfully listed the game on Steam in regions that cannot (without breaking ToS) create a PSN account. Even if the account linking requirement was supposed to be in from the start and only got kicked down the road due to server issues, Sony created a shitstorm largely because of how widely listed the game was. Arrowhead isn't to blame for that aspect at the very least, because the reason studios opt for a publisher is to manage logistics, like where to sell the game.

To be fair with The Three Shadows, it is technically more accurate to the Japanese script than the original English localization. Similar to SMRPG, at least some of the script changes look to make things more similar to the original script, such as Hooktail hating "frogs" (Japanese and English remake script) rather than "crickets" (original English script).

Not trying to defend DEI bullshit creeping its way into remakes and remasters, because I have no explanation for the other script changes being made and nowhere near enough knowledge of Japanese to dig through the script.

I was a similar case as your older nephew. I couldn't sit still in elementary school, and teachers would bring up that I fidgeted a lot to my parents. At some point the school wanted to put me on meds. My parents told them to fuck off. As I grew older and classes began teaching things I didn't already know or couldn't grasp instantly (and was interested in learning) I was fairly calm and attentive.

I am forever thankful that my parents saw sense that I was probably just bored in school and were adamantly against the idea of fucking me up with meds.

I was not aware the graphical update was not globally applied. That should really make one wonder why certain regions got the uglification update and others didn't. Hopefully some normies wake up from it.

Capcom has wanted to charge you to recreate your character appearance since at least Monster Hunter World, all the way back in 2018.

It's mostly a bunch of indie crap. Taking a quick look at the companies listed, some of them have the following games that might be notable:

Boneloaf - Gang Beasts

Poncle - Vampire Survivors

Raw Fury - Cassette Beasts These guys have a bunch of stuff that I've never heard of, website here

Robot Teddy - this is another consulting firm with many of the same companies listed as this Richie guy, website here

VAF - a Belgian government funded investment body for video games, movies, and television, website here

Innersloth - Among Us

SFB Games - Snipperclips They similarly have a bunch of other stuff on their website I haven't heard of

The other companies I didn't mention (Triband, Pontoco, Yogscast) all seem to have incredibly niche or underwhelming games. Dutch Game Garden is some kind of Dutch non-profit organization to support indie devs.

I recall Julian Assange saying gamergate and the biased and corrupt gaming media was but a microcosm of the whole journalist media industry at large. In some ways gamergate did in fact wake people up to the full blown leftist takeover of the west.

Even better, find an ISO of the PC version of FF7 and you can install all kinds of mods to make it not look like a horrendously outdated game. 7th Heaven makes things pretty easy https://7thheaven.rocks/

I fully agree with you. There isn't any sexualization going on in the instances I've seen where Nexusmods still removed decensorship mods of any underaged (or perceived underaged) characters.

I've noticed Nexusmods has been taking down uncensorship mods of underage female characters for a little while now. It's not even like people are trying to make these characters nude, they just want to get rid of the BS censorship practices being forced upon us and respect the original design intent of a character.

Fuck Nexusmods.

The supposed reason is that the second part of FF7R this week censored the outfit that this patch also censors, to maintain consistency.

If you liked Digimon World 1 (I'm assuming this is the PS1 DW you are referring to), Next Order is the closest thing to it mechanically. Same combat and similar gameplay mechanics, being a virtual pet manager/battler basically. You have two digimon partners instead of one. The translation as I remember it was fine, I definitely don't recall anything as atrocious as Cyber Sleuth off the top of my head.

There is another game that is similar to DW1 and Next Order, called Digimon World Re;Digitize for the PSP, and an enhanced version called Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode on the 3DS. Neither of these were released in english, but there are complete fan translations for both versions of the game and I would recommend playing through this at some point.

Similar deal here. I tried out for hockey in high school, was very clearly outclassed and could never make the team, yet my mother would bitch at me for not being active and not being in a sport in school. There would have been no way for me to reasonably reach a level where I could have made the team without climbing to higher regional hockey leagues, and by the time I would have climbed high enough to have a chance I would have been out of high school anyways.

At the end of the day, sports is recreational to me. I didn't want to invest the ungodly amount of time to be good enough to make a school team, I just wanted some fun exercise on the side.

Overall, the graphics in the remake are great. I want these graphics with the gameplay of the original, because the remake's action combat is abysmally lackluster and the graphics in the original (specifically the 3D models for the characters in the world) look terrible.

Because it is now at the point where localizers have wormed their way into being directly involved with the game design process and telling the game devs to preemptively censor shit, affecting even the original Japanese versions of video games.
