I just think it’s wrong to place more emphasis on that potentially traumatic episode in that man’s life than on what he is doing. As if the most important thing were that he was the guy Miyazaki told to his face that his work was an insult to humanity itself.

This is the most click-thirsty headline I’ve read this year so far. It isn’t clickbait cuz is not false, but it feels… wrong.

Regarding collectables-based challenges, in my experience, all collectables that don’t unlock content or aren’t some kind of upgrade are a waste of time.

I remember collecting all the figments in Psychonauts 1, how frustrating and time consuming it was and how it was near useless to the regression of the game. I love Psychonauts and I would like to play it again over and over, but I would not collect those pesky figments ever again.

American Culture is Common Culture at this point…

For years, the United States has benefited most from globalization. They either don’t admit it or don’t realize it.

Ministry Of Indoctrination

1. From Maduro’s part. They are deeply incompetent.

2. The Oil is a curse. It could be a blessing if people knew how to use it. Chavez thought he knew, he was wrong. The Saudi’s know. They have a lot of skeletons in their closet, yet it seems like receiving their money is not big problem. Branding.

Bukele can rule over El Salvador as he please because he is a The Gang Buster. Branding.

Peru can have as many presidents as they like without affecting the economy cuz… well, they are all corrupt, “but least they aren’t communist”. Branding

From a Venezuelan living in Venezuela, in short: he wasn’t Chavez.

Long answer: Chávez had the political savvy to make a name and reputation for himself that could protect him despite criticism from hegemonic states. Maduro was never able to hold a candle to him, which is why he declined in popularity despite “technically” perpetuating what Chávez had built.

“But the drugs! But the human rights!” Center-right politicians in the region have faced similar (more verifiable) accusations, yet none have received the same level of global criticism as Chávez or Maduro.

“But democracy!” Peru has had five presidents in less than two years, and no one says anything. Bukele intends to remain in power in El Salvador for life, and no one says anything.

It’s not an ideological or moral issue, It’s Branding.

I believe that the revenue comes more from advertisers paying to advertise on Google than from people paying for the advertised products or services.

I’ve been playing only retro games lately and I just finished Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for a second time yesterday. Now I’m continuing playing the Fatal Frame saga on my ps2.

Man, I freaking love GOG 💜

You have to… No, You NEED to Play Downhill Domination. There is NO WAY you won’t have fun playing that, trust me.

Oh! And Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3! You don’t have to be a DBZ fan to have fun with that, is amazing and so chaotic!

Also, have you consider trying Devil May Cry 3? (Don’t worry about the number, it’s a precule). It’s kinda hard but so fun and satisfying.

No Final Fantasy because I’m not even sure where to start!

I had the same problem too, but after trying to play them chronologically (and failing), I learned that you can play any FF game at any time, cuz they are very unique and don’t actually relate one another.

Final Fantasy X is a great pick, for example, it helped me overcome my despise for Turn-base combat RPG.

And, if you’re up to some Big Robot Fight mayhem anime style, Zone of The Enders is Amazing.

edit: AND YAKUZA! HOW COULD I FORGOT YAKUZA!!?? YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE FIRST YAKUZA ASAP!!

(unless you want to play / already played the kiwami version, which may be a better experience)

Hmm, that’s a good point.

God, every new things i hear from this is worse and WORSE.

Every day I am more convinced that someone made a wish to the monkey paw for Nintendo to do something about Palworld, and now we are where we are.

Explain that to right-wingers. Good luck.

So they can gather more followers for their atrocious ideology of the echo chambers that are Bluesky and Mastodon

This is wild, Jesus…

My Sweet Passion (Theme of Amy Rose) - From Sonic Adventure

They must be like the guy who is involved in the mischief but since he is not as visible as the others, he pretends that the issue is not with him to see if he gets away with it.
