Here's something positive about Jersey

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Wilder race:

1643468578733.png


“mE Wilder Jersey Devil. WAnnA be bUDDieS?! SuRe, we cAn bEcOMe bUDDies!!”

Alignment: Dark-Chaos

Origin: North American mythology. A cryptid said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. It is originally the 13th child of a resident of the region called Mother Reeds, and was born with hooves, bat wings, and a forked tail and beat people around it before flying into the woods. Some say that his parents were a witch and the devil himself. It moves quickly through the sky and cries in a blood-curling scream.

Skills: Blind, Poisma, Masukunda

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Brute race.

This is apparently a pretty popular cryptid so it’s no surprise its design just uses one of the more common visual depictions as a base. From what I gathered, Jersey Devil has only the head of a horse, not the whole body; but leathery wings, hooves, and tail are spot-on. Unlike Mothman, who is playable in plenty of games, it only appears in a handful of games so there’s not much to go on. I have to admit, it’s pretty damn successful at looking creepy so I’d like to see him in more titles.

Huh interesting. Bayonetta's the only 3rd party female. Of course not counting alts like Alex with Steve or Kazooie paired with Banjo.
Part of that is the lack of main characters that are females (besides Lara Croft and few others) but yeah no I think we need chun li at some point

Ubisoft: Players "Don't Get" What Makes NFTs So Beneficial

I think gamers don't get what a digital secondary market can bring to them. For now, because of the current situation and context of NFTs, gamers really believe it's first destroying the planet, and second just a tool for speculation. But what we [at Ubisoft] are seeing first is the end game. The end game is about giving players the opportunity to resell their items once they're finished with them or they're finished playing the game itself. So, it's really, for them. It's really beneficial. But they don't get it for now.

Ubisoft moment

"You may think NFTs are just environmentally destructive and making rich people even richer but you should understand that they can also make rich people even richer."
I didn't think it was possible to sound more condescending and patronizing than the statement Sqaure's CEO made, but holy crud this reads out like a cartoon villain's script, it's hilarious.

The PMEX Remix Discord said that the next version was planned to release yesterday but has now been moved to between late February to early March.

Shame, but if they want quality I'll allow it.

NFTs are just such an enigma to me at this point. Like, everyone is just SO vocally against them to the point that corporations have to convince (and fail) their consumers that it's a good investment. Fellas, if your product was good, you wouldn't have to convince people it isn't bad. They would be able to tell it's good by looking at it.

Like, imagine if I sold radioactive waste in a freaking bottle. No one would drink it. And then I would say "Oh well they just don't get it yet :drshrug: "

It's a funny buzzword old rich dudes heard in board meetings and are now trying to push for BEEG DOLLA DOLLA.

I've also heard It's used as a form of tax evasion so lol.

The best part is that this dude and all the other advocates are like "THIS WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING" when what NFTs do are services and features we already have

Just way more harmful and wasteful :^)

Unpopular opinion:
Calling Smash "a celebration of Gaming" doesn't make any sense, since most of the roster are Nintendo Characters.
This is dumb, isn't it?
Tbf, Nintendo has a lot of characters iconic to gaming already under their belt

A load of horse****.

It's a scam and that's what it is.

When was the last time Ubisoft made a good game?
AC Valhalla is pretty good and I'm not saying that cause of Ireland. It's also pretty good combat wise. Doesn't have the terrible difficulty spike Odyssey has that pissed me off.

They have to convince people it's a good investment because NFTs are literally worthless if people don't buy them out of hype.

It's fictitious capital 101.

So, how long until NFTs backfire on companies and people and start turning out bad for them, if they ever do?
They'll keep pushing it and screaming about how it's a gift and we're all too stupid to understand it.

And when backlash reaches its peak and sales start to suffer, they'll put out a halfhearted apology, claim "We're for the gamers, honest, pinky swear, love you guys! <3"

and then pretend it never happened

they'll then do something else dumb and the cycle continues

video game industry moment

Sounds about accurate, if you ask me.

Gimme like an hour and I'll find something to yell about Pokémon or Sonic
PLA's goated though, what can we even yell about?

Ubisoft Quartz already bombed, Sega cancelled their NFT plans and Square Enix's NFTs are gonna bomb so it's looking like NFTs aren't a good investment.

It's just not worth it in the long run.
