I think the seeds may have been planted with the radio. Once athletes became celebrities it was only a matter of time. I know little about baseball, but even I know who Babe Ruth was, who played into the 1930s. TV blowing up in the 40s added an additional layer of connecting the names to the faces. This eventually gave way for MTV to come into the mix creating the beginnings of modern pop culture.
I think the weak logic it may have, is that time “slowly” changes. Like how Marty’s future slowly starts changing over the course of the first film.
Interesting. The first half of this video is a hallway. Nothing in this teaser got me excited. The little game play we got looks like all the previous Megaman games. With so many indie people putting a spin on the originals, I really hope the next trailer has real content.
The shot of the kid with the broom left me so hopeful for all the new things I thought were coming. All the retreading that Episode 9 did left me disappointed.
This would be an interesting comic strip. A company that has purchased all the fonts in existence, and then the artist doing the comic you are reading gets sued by the company he’s making a comic about, because he doesn’t have the rights to the font.
I love turn based tactics games. They do tend to suffer the same issue as most RPGs in that you try to 1hko everything at the end. I’ll wait for a few reviews before deciding if I’ll add this to my list.
I don’t think we’re all simping. We’re just having discourse. Which means we’re all allowed to have varying opinions on topics. That should be the joy of lemmy, having conversations with people and learning from one another.
Agreed. I think they should have different pricing structures. There isn’t much real new effort going into placing old games onto new carts.
This is also another debate that goes around. I do agree that it is justifiable to increase the prices of new games on new consoles, it’s their company (even though I selfishly want to pay less), games prices have not kept up with inflation and they are brining more hours of gameplay. I do personally think this logic shouldn’t be applied to older games though. All the work was already put into creating them.
They really should keep older released games at a lower price. The only time I think the argument for a justifiable price is in a case like Ocarina of Time DS, where they remade the game. Most of the time that isn’t the case.
People can hate Nintendo. It’s mostly the disproportionate hate lemmy gives to nintendo, compared to microsoft and sony, who I believe are worse. If people are going to hate, at least balance it.
I feel like some of these videos are people just riding the hate train? Nintendo has always done this. Everyone agrees it’s a stupid practice. In Nintendo’s eyes their content is always about the software and not the physical aspect of it. The value of their IP never goes down, so they never lower it.
Yep, but I have the need to try and feed my 100% nature. We’ll see if I make it!
I really enjoyed Convergence. It was easy to 100% the map. I think it was just the correct length, since I was starting to feel it drag a little. It was nothing mind blowing, but it scratched my itch for a time manipulation game (The last one being Katana Zero). I generally like Ekko as a character, so I may be biased a bit (own two statues even though I never played League of Legends).
I’m at the start of chapter 6. I paused for a while to get through all the 41-50 challenges, so yeah those took me a while to get through. It was very repetitive, which is why I did it between other games.
I wishing the ability to jump hadn’t been spoiled by the trailer. There’s really no reason to play the game anymore.
Finished up LoL’s spin-off, Convergence. I decided to finally start up Battle Chasers Night War after having it sit on my switch home screen for a few years. I like the artwork and the combat has some interesting dynamics, but I feel like I may be past playing turn based RPGs at this point. I will likely see it out to the end.
Still chipping away at Age of Calamity side missions, Control on ps5.
I think one of the things playdate has going for them is they are portable.
You really think a lot about comic books in the shower, don’t you?
A few words in and I could already tell who it was. I have no idea how this person is still in a field that involves people.
If I had to guess, “athletes” was the first thing that popped into their head. But I have to assume they mean people who don’t “arguably” contribute to furthering of humanity. So Actors, musicians, athletes vs doctors, teachers, scientists, etc.
