I don't know what's worse: that they did that, or that there's a history of automakers getting caught doing that and they still went forward with it.

Videogames truly are art

I actually like the options he didn't show best.

Fenrir · « **Reply #779 on:** September 20, 2015, 09:28:44 PM »

So what happens if you choose the other options?

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #780 on:** September 21, 2015, 06:46:24 AM »

If you pick "not far" it drops you into a room that says "WOW." in coins and the entire floor is piranha plants. If you decide that you regret killing your best friend, you get dropped into a room where the entire floor is donut blocks with lava below and the only way out is death.

Fenrir · « **Reply #781 on:** September 21, 2015, 07:21:06 PM »

Okay yes it is amazing.

The guy everybody hates on the Internet today has the most punchable face:

He's raising the price of some old medicine he has exclusivity rights through some loophole, from 13$ to 750$. This link explains the whole situation pretty well.

Yeah, but he's a 30-35 year old gamer, so he should be right at home here. Heck, he bought his own eSports club in League of Legends with his hedge fund gains... who cares about sick people & insurance premiums? They shouldn't have gotten sick.

Article posits sarcasm as kitsch. Makes a lot of sense to me.

To play right into the point.

I see someone finally worked out what the 90s were.

NotMiki · « **Reply #786 on:** September 26, 2015, 09:07:38 PM »

Sarcasm went mainstream with The Simpsons, and sarcasm started to suck around the same time The Simpsons started to suck.

Grefter · « **Reply #787 on:** September 27, 2015, 04:01:08 AM »

Sarcasm made me the man I am today.

Pretty big discovery if true. Pretty confusing discovery if not. Either way, some big news for Mars nerds.

Tangentally related, but I thought the following was amusing considering the jumping point this used for its sarcasm as kitsch argument.

So this thing is being marketed as Yelp but for people. There is no way this can go wrong.

Don't worry man I'll give you 5 stars i got your back

....... I'll give you 4 stars

The Duck · « **Reply #792 on:** October 01, 2015, 07:34:17 PM »

Now imagine if I was a FFX fan on the internet who was also female.

Snopes is throwing serious doubt on this. Namely that the trademark is suspended and that she made no mention of this being in development just a month before the article started blowing up. She IS, however, starting a web series about app development and this sound like JUST THE THING...

oh my god you guys

(I generally don't indulge too much in the drip drip drip of new information about games but ~~FASHION SOULS~~ FASHION MEGAMI TENSEI is a different matter entirely. p.s. ohmygodyouguys.)

Sierra · « **Reply #795 on:** October 02, 2015, 08:43:35 PM »

That's definitely a different theme as far as personas go. Less entities drawn from ancient mythology, more legendary rogues from the past couple centuries? (I dunno about Goemon.)

Veryslightlymad · « **Reply #796 on:** October 02, 2015, 09:00:26 PM »

Wonder how the hardest core of fans will take that. Probably good to branch out and not get "stale", but on the other hand, any time you do that you risk alienating your audience.

Sierra · « **Reply #797 on:** October 02, 2015, 09:02:01 PM »

Is there a fanbase more likely to be cool with weird for the sake of weird than Persona's*?

*EDIT, I suppose I should amend that to Atlus in general, since their brand of weird definitely covers things other than just Persona.

Grefter · « **Reply #798 on:** October 03, 2015, 01:23:44 AM »

I wouldn't just read it as thieves. It is pretty consistently thieves/outlaws that push back against authority and give back to the poor. More of that Freedom theme being pushed as well.

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #799 on:** October 03, 2015, 03:15:06 AM »

Rosa Parks persona incoming.
