Listen I love NMS for what it has become, but of course they would say that. They know that (the veil of) personal investment in their userbase’s woes is good marketing. What would the answer otherwise be? “fuck your save, start over”?

And if they can’t fix it, they can at least say “we tried”.

I unironically want this

There’s definitely some sketchy stuff going on, but in general, reviews are mostly an opinion. A lover of the original versus a hater of the original will probably not give the same score to this game. It really depends on the reviewers history, preferences, ability to investigate, empathize with other demographics / types of players, patience, endurance, willingness to forgive bad gameplay/graphics/story/music as long as the gameplay/graphics/story/music is good, etc.

Nah there’s no record of ‘Blimpson’ being a surname, I call bullshit. But your investigate efforts are appreciated.

I refuse to believe this isn’t a shitpost

Edit: I need to start reading the communities stuff gets posted in

In a way I don’t believe Nintendo was naive enough to rely on ‘pinky promise’. Nintendo makes you sign NDAs for getting information about unreleased games, going to events, and playing review copies. Usually not personally, but there’s a contract between Nintendo and the news / writing org.

So I’m pretty sure they did this with the foresight that people would start talking about it. How they can see that as a net positive I find hard to argue, but they get datamined on the regular and games are leaked a week before street date so they had to know.

Well, no Rock & Stone! for you then :P

I find it interesting but there might be no rhyme or reason to it - vibes often just work like that. Does the camera POV have an impact as well? Like first person vs third person vs isometric?

Unpopular, maybe. Controversial, I hope not. Your opinion and experiences are valid.

Can you pinpoint why it’s a turn off? I understand you’re saying you want to be outside, but is it from a feeling of being limited when you’re inside?

Flipping it: do you prefer playing games that are in the sky like Bioshock Infinite over Bioshock 1/2 that are underground (on the sea floor)?

Yeah it’s great. I can spot RPS headlines with ease considering how much obscurity they put in, in comparison. It can be someone’s cup of tea though. I like my headlines factual and conversational!

Now this is a headline!

Provided the community has clear rules on where to post gifs/memes redirecting the user is fine. Of course it should be a gentle reminder and not feel as if the user is getting berated.

If they still get pissy after that, it’s more on the user. A reminder to follow the rules is not a personal attack.

So just scroll up? It’s not like when a message is off the screen, it’s gone forever. Or do you never catch up on messages that you missed while offline and just go in from there?

The good thing is that you can choose to ignore the meme, reply to the interesting thought and continue the conversation. Then if you keep the conversation going, it could be made a thread if people are interested in it.

Also a honeypot for memes is helpful so people are less inclined to drop them in general channels
