The original plan was to split it up similar to how the question arcs for Higurashi were in season one and the answer arcs were in season two. But the Umineko anime was legendarily bad, and DVD sales didn't warrant a second season. So yeah, after they finished adapting the question arcs they just kinda stopped. I actually got into Umineko through the anime, and yeah, it was frustrating to not get a conclusion, but I think it was for the better. Umineko is not one of those stories that can be easily adapted into a visual medium.

Now that's just rude.

It's a battle royale game that doesn't have building and doesn't run like ass, so it's already the best one we have as far as I'm concerned.

Posted on the official Yugioh Youtube channel. In 2018. I don't even know what's going on.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. What the hell happened, Volvo?

Ever since the recent online update, I've been paired up with people with significantly higher GSP than me. Any time I'm paired up with someone relatively around the same GSP, I win without losing a stock, but any progress I make is negated the very next game when I get paired with someone way higher on the ladder than me. I'm convinced there isn't any MMR in Smash. Also I have over 1 mil GSP with Ganondorf despite playing one FFA match with him, one that I lost. I don't understand how GSP actually works.

My last name isn't really that hard for most people to pronounce. However, it's very uncommon, and it's only a couple letters off from a much more common last name. People often assume my last name is the more common one.

Watching the CS:GO community flip their shit over going F2P is so so nostalgic.

Because that's worked so well for every game not named Fortnite or PUBG.

I would like to agree with you. But that was the point of Moby's post. They've been planning to make tumblr more advertiser friendly for months now, to the point of making an algorithm so strict that it flags the very post that announced the changes, but in that wasn't included a ban on extremist politics. We know that they didn't target left wing politics because Verizon was trying to cater to them. So imagine if included in the rules were "oh, and nazis are banned too." There still would have been the shitstorm over the porn ban, but I'd wager a guess that a lot of left wing slacktivists would have attempted to defend tumblr if that was what happened. But they didn't, and if this was a bid to make tumblr easier to monetize, a ban on right wing extremism should have been on the docket if their advertisers actually cared. It's pretty difficult to teach a computer to detect porn. It's a lot less difficult to teach a computer how to recognize words from a white nationalist glossary and build associations between them. They don't even have to be that thorough, since they're clearly not bothered by innocent posts getting caught in the crossfire. Before 2016, I probably would have agreed with you. It sounds like it should be true. But that's not how things play out in reality. Every social media service quietly hosts extremists of all political agendas, and then when one of them acts out, the company will loudly proclaim that it's distancing itself from those people before quietly going back to the status quo once the social fervor dies down.

That doesn't really appear to be true though, at least, not in the US. Associating your brand with outright porn is always seen as a negative because of how the US views sex. Extremist politics, on the other hand, can be a positive, depending on the situation and current events. There's a reason that companies didn't start publicly distancing themselves from right wing extremism until someone died. Extremists are dangerous, but they're devoted. People who are devoted generate clicks and advertising revenue. Most social media platforms are quick to clamp down on nsfw or unmarked nsfw material if it gets posted, but extremists on both ends of the spectrum are usually given a free pass until a point where the potential lost revenue from those outraged outweighs the potential gained revenue from the devoted.

Speaking of When They Cry AHHHHHHHHH They're actually doing it.

I can't wait for subspuf to become a literal circle jerk.

I'm trying to drink more water, but I get soda cravings a lot.

The only alcohol I've been able to stomach so far is wine. I genuinely enjoy the taste, and everything else I've tried has made me wanna gag.

The difference between Zenimax working on the game and Bethesda working on the game I’d say is rather significant. Given their reputation, Bethesda likely has a lot of creative freedom. The way that Bethesday and Zenimax would develop similar games may be entirely different. This is just conjecture, of course.

Because a different studio developed ESO and Bethesda is incompetent.

It hasn't really flopped. The release is in a week, so they technically still have time to fix it. But, it came out that the $20 price tag isn't intended as an upfront cost to cut down on microtransactions. The microtransactions in Artifact are actually even more brutal than the likes of Hearthstone, ESL, etc. It's not entirely accurate to compare it to F76. F76 is just a bad game. Artifact appears to be a great game, but if Valve doesn't make significant changes, it'll be held back by its business model. (or everyone will play it anyway and validate Valve's bad behavior.)

Anyone else been keeping up with the Artifact shitstorm? It's amusing that Valve managed to fuck up such an easy cash cow.

Some interesting details about Delta Rune:

To me, that sounds less like an issue of technology not improving and more of issues endemic in the video game industry. That is, "DO THINGS ASAP I DON'T CARE IF THERE'S BUGS WE HAVE A DEADLINE TO HIT" and just the unfortunate fact that most retro game developers are novices relative to the people that actually developed the retro games they're inspired by. It would be great if more developers took advantage of the technological advantages that we have access to now, but nowadays those new advantages are mostly things under the hood, that only nerds like us give a shit about. It doesn't sell copies to Joe Schmoe that doesn't give a shit. Technological advancement is entirely possible, it would just require a financial incentive on the part of developers, which would require the average person to be more computer literate.

It's not about updates being available. It's about Microsoft forcing users to update, even if it would be inconvenient.

It's not just Pixar. Disney's doing it too but worse.

I don't even know what's going on anymore, but I'm loving every second of it.
