So I gotta talk about Silent Hill: The Short Message. Shopping Vs Suicide is hilarious but I'm seeing folks dismiss the distaste for the game based on that joke, and ignoring that that is a symptom of a much larger series of criticisms. A thread 1/?
I feel like the order of events the game portrays the story to us helps hide it's true message. First of all, it's stated message, and the one absolutely intended by the developers, is that suicide is a regrettable and avoidable tragedy.

I feel like you accidentally made a different point than you intended. Children, even at very early ages, are naturally good. They'll choose to try and help people given the chance. The glee of cruelty is not a natural inclination for most people, even children. 1/x
The idiom "children can be cruel" is accurate, but it's not to say that children are by their nature cruel. Children are suggestible, immature, have trouble regulating their emotions, impulsive, reactive etc. This can manifest in a lot of bad behaviour. But *cruelty* is different

The paid jump potion stuff in FF14 versus a more traditional MMO function pretty differently. One of the primary aspects of FF14 that works really well is it's story and its integration of that story into its encounters and world. 1/Many
3.3's boss fight for example is a big cool dragon, and its a fun fight, but its an amazing sequence because of the series of events that it took to get to him throughout the games story. Jumping straight to the end of the game skips maybe 50% of it's total content.

More thoughts on 13 sentinels, getting back into it after 10 weeks apart.
1. Mystery file viewer offers a succinct but well documented list of every term, person, location and era in game. 2. Cutscene viewer for every single event, seperated by both total events and per person-
3. Easily able to select older battles to regen your brain overload and re-remember characters archetypes and strengths. 4. Flowchart determining the general gist of the characters playable VN sections, toning down what you need to remember per character.

Now that I have a little more time, I'd like to go into detail as to why this is such horseshit.
-39 Seconds- The implication that the PC release was of the quality standard they intended and that's extremely hard to believe. 1/many
-49 Seconds- Leadership Team is deeply sorry (not at fault), don't blame any specific teams (hold onto this one)
-1m42s- Describes a process of making the game look great on PC and then backsliding to "Old Gen" despite the game being announced before PS4/Xbox hardware was known.

This whole fucking thread is completely pointless because it ends up focusing on "educating" content creators about music. Hey dumbasses how do I protect myself from Destiny 2 having some random assholes illegally DMCA claim public domain music or sound effects 1/4
They suggest going through a game's EULA to find the streaming licenses for games that you SUSPECT MAY have copyrighted music (no way to tell) and then suggest the following below. 2/4

so let's break down this Smash 4 Finals situation.
1. Players who made finals were both Bayo players, which is either broken and the tourney organizers refuse to ban, or fine, and the community is a bunch of shit babies about.
2. As a result, the players endured boos and harassment, not just during the grand finals, but the entire lead up in the tournament, both in person at the event and all over social media
