In other news we know how many shittons of people still buy Fords and GM right. Right?
Money talks, ultimately.
They can do that, but it looks worse both literally and figuratively when their games look and run like last gen titles at best.
Because they’re the High Lords of Terra, and the person talking is basically the chief of police (like @Chimpzy said it’s the Judge Dredd looking brother fucker). It’s the Inquisition primarily who concern themselves with heresy.
@Specter Von Baren, Baten Kaitos I & II are being remastered on Switch! Comes out this summer!
Yep, and just like with Hi-Fi Rush, it threw me off. Here's hoping for solid control, because goddamn gamecube control was hard sometimes
- Might pick up Pikmin 4. Looks fun. Kind of a weird place to jump into the series maybe, but whatever
- Rerelease of Ghost Trick.That's cool. I've heard many good things about it.
- Nice, We Love Katamari remaster. I already have the original on PS2, but the world can always use more Katamari joy.
- Sea of Stars was already on my radar, but will definitely try out the demo
- Will probably grab that Baten Kaitos collection. Wonder if it'll have a physical release.
Also, as a big Metroid fan you'd think I'd be psyked at the Prime 1 remaster, but no. A) not the Prime I'd like. B) already have it, except mine is 4k/60 and has kb&m controls.

Absolutely no problem watching them get hit for streaming the IP of a transphobic author. So long as people continue to stream the game there will be activists taking a stand against that no matter how badly they are tarred and feathered
Blessed be KonradLeijon
More people streamed the game than probably normally would because of all the activists trying to bully people. Asmongold streamed it and he virtually never gives a shit about games that aren't MMO's.
And it wasn't just streamers but the literal audience was also doing it. Hogwarts was the most watched thing on twitch yesterday.
Thankfully if I hate something I simply don't care about and try my best to cut ties and play something insightful or suits my interests
You know being unempathetic is the problem with JKR in the first place?
I do not like Harry Potter, for a variety of reasons, and very crucially I didn't particularly enjoy the books as a child which meant I had no great attachment to them to carry with me into my adult life. This is convenient because now I have a large circle of trans friends and acquaintances I don't have to engage in any painful separation from it due to JKR's descent into being obsessively transphobic. Still, I know the power of a good book, particularly one which affected you when you were young, and Harry Potter weaves a wish fulfilment fantasy which many people have clearly found seductive. Things like that will hold great sway over people. Aggressively lashing out against it might feel good, and isn't wrong, but it ultimately preaches only to the converted. It frames the conflict as purely abstract ideology, when it is a matter of a very tangible question of whether you feel it is acceptable to financially reward a creator who will likely funnel that money into a cause that will bring harm to a particular group of people. Additionally, not everyone will take that harm as assumed - not everyone is au fait with trans people and the threats they face, not everyone understands the ongoing campaign to stir up anti-trans sentiment, not everyone quite comprehends how the movement of money can affect society. There is a satisfaction to be gained in inflicting harm upon those who don't follow ones own worldview, but punishment is not a worthy end in and of itself, it must be judged on what change it is bringing into the world. Has anyone gained a usefully new perspective, has a harmful system been torn down, have you brought aid to the needy, or have you merely caused someone to have an upsetting day?
