I hope choosing gender, skin color, and eye color are available in the Octo Expansion single player mode.

I want to play as Octo girl but I'm not crazy over the skin color and eye color they've been showing.

Well, you should be able to do all that, since can't you do the same. They are probably just using this as the default for the advertising, like how they basically use the Orange Inkling girl for advertising, but you could still customise the Inkling to your taste in game.

Okay, want to do a bit of real talk and spread awareness about an issue I just discovered to see if all together can change it.

As many of you know, Blizzard has released a brand new skin for Mercy, Pink Mercy:


This is a charity skin, made to fight breast cancer. Basically, all the earnings Blizzard make from this skin will go to the Breast Cancer Research Fundation. I think this is a fantastic idea, I've personally been there, and I know the pain of having a loved one with breast cancer, so seeing Blizzard using the image of Mercy and Overwatch to gather attention to this matter and try getting people to donate for a really nice cause is really charming, and I encourage you guys to donate, because it's an issue really present nowadays.

So, being all so nice, what's the problem? Well, apparently, while Blizzard and Microsoft will donate all the earnings from each skin sold (15€ for the skin), Sony will still take the commission for the skin. What does this mean? They will only donate the 77% of the purchase, meaning they will take the 23% of each sale. Here's the article in the UK store and the Spanish Store:
https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP0002-CUSA03974_00-MERCYCHARITYSKIN
https://store.playstation.com/es-es/product/EP0002-CUSA03974_00-MERCYCHARITYSKIN

I thought this was an issue with the european PlayStation, since I looked into the US store and read that they would donate the 100%, but they were cheeky with this one:
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA01842_00-MERCYCHARITYSKIN

Notice that it says the following:
"From May 8-May 21, Blizzard Entertainment will donate 100% of the proceeds that it receives from Sony PlayStation for your purchase of the Pink Mercy skin to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation."

So, they are not donating the 100% of the sale, but the 100% of the money they receive from Sony. Meaning Sony will still take commission in the US.

I just find this really scummy from Sony... This should be a charity event, is not about getting a skin, is about helping the fight against breast cancer, and seeing them getting benefits from it is just wrong. I'm trying to spread this to see if we can change the mind of Sony and make them donate everything they gain to the BCRF. Sony still has to say anything about this, and if they don't change this matter, I'll personally lose the respect I had for the brand.

Try reaching them one way or another, we know that if we voice what is wrong things might change, but no if we stay quiet.

Well, what if the commission is to cover the basic costs of higher an artist and such? Though possible Sony is taking more then needed to cover this.

Also said thing to say, a lot of companies always do this, that is, have commission fee when they donate to a charity, which is scummy, but its still a thing that happens.

It's a video game dude.

A video game based around a war between two groups of small children who kill each other with ink.

The official Splatfest artwork for Mikey vs. Donnie is up
Umm... what's the heck's up with Marina's face?
Click to expand...
The Splatfest text in the intro had Marina talking about how Donatello is a soft shell turtle species in the new series, and had her saying she admires that he builds his own battle armor to compensate. My guess from the art was the soft shell was more more sensitive than she bargained for.

It looks horrible and the concept behind it is horrible.

Raph as the leader? Why?

Changing the weapons? What the hell does Mikey even use?

It looks dumb and I'm not giving it a chance.
Click to expand...
The weapon changes are in reference to an old origin comic called The Passing, which showed the turtles training when they were pre-teens. They also took the headscarf designs from this same comic.

Raph is the oldest and therefore leader in the new series, Leo is rebellious but it's implied that Mikey looks up to him and that will eventually lead to the series showing how Leo becomes the new leader.

I know not all cartoons are for everyone, and thats fine. But creating a bias out of misinformation/ignorance is not a good look.

I was playing FEH and I found out a while back Valentine Lyn has breast jiggle physics. That is a bit odd.

So, when's Shovel Knight joining? :troll:

After all, no indie is worth its salt until it gets a Shovel Knight appearance.

Though, is this game starting to turn into a indie fighter, or was it always that to begin with?

TIL Wizards in Harry Potter don't need bathrooms because they have poop-vanishing spells and group master baiting sessions are "exceedingly common in Hogwarts, particularly Hufflepuff".

If I'm going to have to live with this knowledge, so do all of you.

If you know what the second fact means please don't explain it.

I'm just gonna say, the "it wouldn't make sense" or "bigger hitboxes" excuses for not including fat characters or avatar options in videogames are just dumb and I'm tired of seeing them be brought up when someone complains about the issue.
Yes, Richard, I get it, fat people aren't going to be running around and jumping like ****ing Super Mario but neither is your "fit" white ass either so stop ******** just because the game's non-existing realism got "broken".

*More durable Inklings*.

Wait, do you want fat or buff Inklings?

Although that's an idea, that would mean changing weapon damage values on weapons like Chargers and Rollers and Bombs, unless you want them to survive One-Hit KO weapons, breaking the game.

The juice ain't worth the squeeze, even if you find fat Inklings aesthetically desirable.

Canadian politics is wack a lot of times but I would never compare it to the States. The States is a special kind of ****ed up that I can't even fathom.

But @Shishœ, Mario is fat, and he's doing all that athletic ****, so that makes the Richard morons argument already invalid.

I think you all like Gunnthrá because of the breasts. The only thing there are the breasts. Or her voice or what not.

If you mean his directed lighting then that's gonna be on Season 3's second cour(no way they're not gonna adapt it because first cour is definitely gonna cover all the Hideout Raid Arc already). Also, why is it trash when you only pointed out good things about Traitor-kun?
