  • The small inventory space is likely a technical limitation and/or a direct gameplay decision, rather than a cultural one.

    I don't believe that any person, Japanese or not, would think that a special forces rescue team would take only the minimal supplies (with big risk of not having enough), and then being stranded at a new location and purposefully not stocking up on resources when the situation becomes obvious.

  • Is a video game social media? Is Roblox a video game? Is simply having social functions enough to define social media or is more necessary?

    When I think of social media, I think of forums, Reddit, Lemmy, Facebook, Discord, etc. Platforms and software with the sole or primary purpose of providing social interaction between users. I don't see video games as social media, though they may contain some content that provides a similar function such as an ingame chat.

    Vintage Story and Dead by Daylight both contain ingame chat and multiplayer functionality, but I don't see either as social media. Though if one were to define social media in a literal sense then they would qualify. Is Roblox any different?

  • I mean, I agree that EuroGamer plays shill to the highest bidder, but to say that people paying for Xbox GamePass directly paid Kotick is pretty disingenuous. Yes, it went into the same money pool that Microsoft used to fulfill Koticks contractual agreement to get him to leave, so did all of their other revenue.

    I could just as easily say that your grandmother's Office 365 subscription money, or the money I spent on a new PC that came preinstalled with an OEM Windows 7 key, all went into that payment. At the end of the day, blaming the consumer can only take you so far, but in this instance it is too many levels removed from direct consumer payment.

  • It is completely stupid. There are mountains worth of prior art that easily negate any patent Nintendo would be granted by this point.

    Nintendo is a Japanese company, and the one thing you can rely on Japanese companies doing in recent years is not understanding that Japanese law only applies in Japan. They seem to think that they can apply Japanese law to US citizens or companies that conduct business in the US, so whatever strategy they think they can use will be swatted aside by the US government automatically. We have seen this already when Nintendo tried to sue Galoob Toys and lost.

  • I have an R36S which looks like the same form factor, and it is pretty uncomfortable all around. It is really small, and my fingers overlap behind the console when holding it. The shoulder buttons aren't the worst I have ever used, but trying to use thumbsticks means holding it in a way that makes me feel like I will easily drop it.

    I don't know if this is just because I have large hands / long fingers, but I personally find myself wishing for a PSP or GBA form factor instead, simply for comfort. Actually, even a GPD XD form factor would be really nice, but I doubt I could see something like that for the same price of $40 USD.

  • Since I have an R36S already, I won't be getting this. It is basically the same form factor and supports the same emulated consoles. Plus that only cost me $40 USD, which is ~$15 less than the PowKiddy?

    If this was a PSP or GBA form factor, small enough to fit in my pocket, I would consider it. Might be good for someone that does not have a handheld and doesnt want to break the bank.

  • Okay? Just make a good game, I dont think the main characters gender is really that important.

    Though to be fair, the market is flooded with female main characters right now and with upcoming games, so I do appreciate the variety. Still, its an Ubisoft game and I probably wasnt going to buy it anyway.

  • I liked Goblin Slayer. Dark doesn't bother me, as long as the show is good and holds my attention.

    Both PatLabor and Escaflowne are on my watchlist, I just didn't mention them. Thank you for the other recommendations though, I will look into them.
