I've been out of the loop and only heard about this a couple of times. I'd imagine that it is not popular enough for those who aren't plugged in to certain circles for people to hear about outrage. There seems to be some manufactured outrage out of obligation by people who are knowledgeable...

Rather, the biggest problem is making everything in a manner that is milking the work as long as possible. Creators should have an understanding of the natural life of their work and when it is time to end things instead of milking it as long as possible. The current culture seems to be either...

It could be that too, but the discussion I remember from 5-10 years ago frequently invoked Majora's Mask. It probably depends on the person and their reasoning, and maybe to a lesser extent, what game they first encountered him in.

Marketing is whats incredibly important though. People think/thought the advent of the internet was supposed to usher in a renaissance of indie publishing, but all it really did was increase the signal to noise ration significantly. In order to get your work known among a deluge of information...

There's a type of person that loves grimdark stuff and abhors anything that can be construed as lighthearted. Majora's Mask was the dark and mature Zelda that appealed to edgy preteens/teens or those with the heart of one before Twilight Princess came along. Tingle was seen as ruining the...

Dedicated servers are better suited for games with a huge party to sort and manage. Think like FPS or Rocket League where a lot of players are joining and playing at once. You're better off trying to manage latency and delay with fighting games instead as there's no real benefit with a dedicated...

I think creativity tends be more about your upbringing than any particular way of teaching. If you were brought up in a environment that tried to force conformity via destroying your independence it can be difficult to find your way of doing things. I've seen a lot of people wanting to be...

I find it mid because of the excessive filler that dragged out the show way longer than it should be. I did like the concept behind Inuyasha's powers being based around defense/counters and Backlash Wave is still one of my favorite powers in all of anime. It was also back when they still kinda...

What Janx said. Ledges are pretty much down to execution and every Smash game but Melee has been horrible at it. Ledge hogs are good because there's real strategy around them for both players and ledge trumping is dumb because it skews things towards the player in advantage. If your recovery...

I guess you would run into issues with how vague these promises can be worded. Improving the economy could be skirted around by something incredibly minor that doesn't change anything in the grand scheme of things but technically improves numbers.

Things like this make glad I was schooled in a time before computers were popular. Like, I stare at screens way too much as it is, but I can't imagine being forced to stare at text on a light bulb all day. What an embarrassment of an education system. You should check to see if your laptop has...

I feel like it would have to be a character like Bowser Jr. who seems to merely exist. Pit and Lucas are at least very popular online.

It depends on the context of the fight and your goals. In self-defense, you would use a knifehand (Karate chop) to target soft areas like eyes and throat. It's less of a chop and more of a stab done with extreme force. Rather than a poke, it's basically done with maximum force to crush those...
