Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

The video game industry is kind of in a bad place, sadly. Not even Nintendo is safe from it, if SnS is any indication.

@Meanlucario  
And even with all the pushback, things aren’t likely to get any better. If anything, there likely just to get worse because “corporations aren’t just people too, they’re better people than you because they have more rights!”  
Ghostface is probably laughing his ass off wherever he is, because it turned out, he was right all along.

@Silent_Witness  

 
FTFY

@PonyPon  
I suppose it’s sort of a cycle: corporations have more rights because they have enough money to buy political favor.

@Silent_Witness  
Blame Reagan

@Silent_Witness  
Is that a crack at people complaining, or the people making the decisions, because at least Reddit tries to remind people that those working and making the games are still people.

@Meanlucario  
The people making the decisions. Because even if they are people, they’re still making stupid ass decisions that deserve to be called out.

@Silent_Witness  
I don’t disagree with that. Did you know that an artist for the company liked a tweet calling the people on Reddit talking about the problems with SnS cunts?

@Meanlucario  
Nintendo shouldn’t be held accountable for that , although they do deserve flak for other shit

Open-ended endings aren’t worth throwing tantrums over, even if people disliked it.

My life as a teenage robot has aged terribly and would have aged far worse if not for being ended when it was, all because of Sheldon,

@Thanotos Omega  
What happened in the ending again, been a long while since I’ve watched it.

@ILoveMyoozik  
the ending was just that movie where Jenny went to cluster prime and everyone found out Vexus was the problem and such, that wasn’t the issue the issue is that the staff wanted Sheldon to end up with Jenny which would not have looked good in retrospect, i mean even his being friends with her is creepy

@Thanotos Omega  
I don’t think I’ve seen that one and if I did, then I forgot about it.
 
But anyways, I never saw their friendship as creepy at all, and I’ve seen more bizarre and creepy pairings in other shows and movies so him hooking up with her wouldn’t been too horrible.

@Thanotos Omega  
What’s wrong with Sheldon?

@ILoveMyoozik  
the dude stole what amounted to nudes of her, plus the whole Silver shell thing,

@Thanotos Omega  
Care to link your sources and the episodes they happened in?

@Meanlucario  
I remember what stuff he means.
 
And not totally shocked he’d take it that way.

@WyrmSpawN  
Care to clarify (or at least link the episodes’ wiki pages) for an idiot like me?

@Meanlucario  
Well, the first one was when sheldon stole her schematics and blueprints to eyeball(cus he’s a nerd like that).
 
Second is a series-spanning thing where he made a robo suit and alter ego. At first, this was to act standoffish to Jenny so she wouldn’t hold out for a robot guy on her level to hook up with. Didn’t work.

@WyrmSpawN  
That sounds more like baby pictures than nudes. Still a bit creepy, though it is a schematic for a sentient robot, so it’s hard to completly blame a nerd.

@Meanlucario  
Weirdly, there was a gag where they showed her in clunky, toddler-proportioned chassis as her creator exclaimed, “remember when you were steam driven?”.

@WyrmSpawN  
Weird.

I think I’ve figured out how to articulate the problem I have with heist and assassination plots. Any story or game where the objective is generally to avoid being seen.
 
The threat is a passive one by default. Say the heroes want to steal a thing from a place; they’ll case the joint, they’ll identify obstacles, and then they’ll formulate a plan to get by them. The issue is, these obstacles have no agency. They won’t respond directly to the heroes. They just exist and either they work or they don’t. There’s no real interaction between the antagonist (as it were) and the protagonist. Any time the plan goes off the rails, it’s either caused by the main character messing something up, or complete chance.
