They sure love delaying the Detective Pikachu graphic novel.

Originally scheduled for July 23, they changed it to August, then October 29, and now it's November 26.

Sounds like a cancel is eminent.

Whatever happened to the ARMS one?

The ID requirement was around long before the current controversy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blizzard/comments/ac534s/why_must_i_give_my_id_just_to_delete_my_account/

It seems like an unnecessary creepy/predatory method for deleting an account, given how easily that information could be misused.

If anything this issue at least was brought to the public's eye with this controversy, hadn't heard anything before this but it seems pretty ****ty when you didn't need one to set up an account.

I think its the fact its the ONLY option now. There probably was other way to prove that is you but now the only way is apparently ID because each picture I saw it says pick one of the options Below in the only option is the ID

This is far beyond being even remotely ethically good. How is this even close to being legal? I would not be surprised if Blizzard ends up getting sued.

.

I have absolutely no idea and that worries me greatly.

Detective Pikachu's doesn't really bother me as it's simply an adaptation of the film.

Now this brings up this question, If Blizzard has always asked for your ID, WHY havent they gotten in trouble for that before because Im pretty sure that is very illigal

Imagine getting your identity stolen because you DELETED an account.

I can imagine Blizzard selling them to the Chinese government

It seems that Marvel (or at least Marvel Studios) also had to mess parts of Doctor Strange involving the Ancient One to satisfy the Chinese Goverment.

I will try to do more research on this topic, because I may have to boycott them too.

This is me when i'm on my way to school:

Whenever I scroll through YT and see that one MatPat vid with my fanart, it catches me off guard, not gonna lie.

>Ask for ID for account deletion
>get ID and sell info to China
>Let China harrass users who deleted their account because they support HK
>Profit (citation needed)

You're going to boycott Marvel Studios because of a race change?

 

[Wunderwaft]

This is probably my guess as well. Considering the current controversy and how people are deleting their accounts in protest against Blizzard's stance with Hong Kong, Blizzard will probably take these IDs and sell them to the Chinese government so they'll be put in a black list. If these individuals ever visit China they'll probably either be barred out or put in surveillance.

LOL I just found out Annoying Orange used my fanart as well. Did not expect that one.

I think that poor photoshop in the middle is scarier.
Jokes aside, try contacting the channel.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

My first question would be how are you handling the idea of Link's different incarnations?

Each version gets invited individually to whatever game he’s in for that specific involvement. In Brawl, the Twilight Princess version wasn’t invited, in Ultimate it was BoTW etc etc. I guess that technically means I have to do TP and BoTW ones for Link in addition to OoT (young and Adult) and Wind Waker.

Eh, I think it’s ok. Not a big deal!

Boycotting them over that is pretty pointless, but ok.

Here's Buff Dedede riding the Metroid car from Rocket League wielding axe along with the BFG 9000 from Doom, with shirtless Mario holding a Splat Brella and a handbag, two red-blue skeleton guys riding Azurda, and some Minecraft blocks with Snip and Clip on the car wheels.

Spending my morning in absolute dread because tomorrow, I have work, which means I have to face up reality again instead of living quietly in my troll hoard of a room. And yes, be careful what you touch in here. Mostly because my window broke awhile back and I still haven't found all the glass pieces. I wouldn't want anyone to cut themselves and get blood in my carpet.

Anyways, its gonna start getting boring where I live because tourism dies around the winter time, so I'm basically gonna walk into work, stare at a register all day that every time I work there taunts me with its touch screen and state of the art, "I can't read a ****ing chip", and then get paid.

It might be someone's wet dream to get paid for standing around, but I prefer to be doing something with my time, because it helps time pass along. Fortunatly, standing around is one of my professions. It not one of my most favorite professions, but I can do it better than most.

But that's there, not here. Here, I can just sit around and play video games, watch YouTube, and eat food all at the same time.

Beautiful.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You mean like what DMCV did? The devs said the story began with the final mission and the rest of the story was building up to it

Kind of yeah. Makes sense.

The red and blue skeleton guys are from Morphies Law and they're riding Azurda from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Back from shopping and stuff.

How is everyone?

Here's Kirby hugging Keeby and Kaby who he hadn't seen for a long time. (Keeby first appeared in Dream Course, while Kaby first appeared in Air Ride.) Note: Kaby is my fan name for the red Kirby.

Someone tell the google agent spying on me to stop giving me netbook ads, I already bought it, you're just proving your algorithm sucks.

Just finished with a little maintenance on the press. Nothing exciting so far.

It didn't work out too well as an avatar, I see.

Not going to lie, I’m not sure how I feel about Nintendo’s lineup this year

Sure, I love Mario Maker 2. But everything else?

I still think that Sword/Shield looks like a dumpster fire, I’m not a fan of Fire Emblem, I’m not in a rush to drop $60 on essentially a 30 year old game with updated graphics, and I’ve already made my feelings known about Astral Chain.

Only one I’m really looking forward to is Luigi’s Mansion 3. Other than that, this year hasn’t really done much for me aside from those two games (SMM2 and most likely LM3)

Thats understandable, The only outstanding games I saw personaly was DQB2 and DQXI and maybe Luigis mansion.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

LM3 looks good. Haven't touched the countless material released for the game because that's a game that's out soon and I really don't wamna spoil myself.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

alrighty, Taylor F's AMA is now up!

Ask away!

I'll reveal the next two names, shortly

 

[Z25]

Wasn't Bendy and the Ink Machine kind of like that? Or was that like a straight horror game?

I haven’t played it but I thought that was a horro game too.

"Man falsely accused of 2019 bank robbery released from prison almost 30 years later. Investigators believe his identity was stolen after deleting Blizzard account."

Should have used this picture:

Considering the context is that his identity was stolen this works just as well lol
