I recently rewatched The Force Awakens, and for a piece of "entertainment" I think it is actually very well written. For me, The Last Jedi doesn't get past the entertainment bit.

Any metroidvania fans here? You gotta check this out

This has been going for long enough, but there's one thing I want to add.

Colin mentioned he has a Mexican friend who jokes with him about what's happened in the past, saying "I didn't know you were a racist". That's cool and all, but just because he doesn't get offended doesn't mean others won't. Generalizing is a big step to being an "-ist". Just as Haru said, one woman does not speak for all of them.

You can have your opinion and your own way to view the world, but don't pretend for a second that your actions won't have an effect on other people, especially in this day and age where internet has made communication so easy and accessible. You don't live in a bubble, you're not alone. That goes for everyone.

Ok, I listened to the whole thing, it was actually fun for the most part, they pretty much talked exclusively about EZA, Patreon, the communities and whatnot.

Then at the end they addressed the issue at hand, and my perception of the guy completely changed. Even if he's not a racist/homophobic/whatever, it was a pain to hear his reasoning. Basically "if my intention wasn't to offend you, then it's your problem if you're offended". Wow, really? What kind of adult says shit like that? Do you know what empathy is? And now that I'm learning more about the stuff he's said and done, I can't really say much for him.

That said, I stand by these words: you don't put out the fire with more fire. That's what love and respect are all about.

Kudos to Brandon for not backing down on his decision. Even if his response wasn't what many expected of him, from what I could tell he's learning a lot from this and will continue to do so.

Has anyone played The Last Remnant? I was surprised when I discovered that most people hated it. Sadly it's made in Unreal, so you know there's gotta be a lot of graphical glitches and other issues. At least back at GT they gave it an 8.

The battle system is kinda weird at first (not your typical turn-based strategy game), but once you get into it there's a lot of depth, and I certainly enjoyed it a lot. The combat is fun and really challenging, especially when you get lots of monsters in one go. Battles can go for over an hour sometimes, not even counting bosses, but the whole time you're immersed and invested, feeling like you're in a real battlefield.

Also Baten Kaitos, especially Origins. God I miss those.

Here it is btw. They actually talk a lot about EZA and GT.

Honestly I had no idea who he was before all of this happened. Regardless of what you think of him, the stance that some people took was childish to say the least. I can't tell them what to do with their money obviously, but threatening like that was truly disappointing from a community that spreads Love & Respect.

Can we submit fanart here? Someone mentioned reaching him out on Twitter but I'd prefer other non-invasive methods, besides I rarely use it and not exactly for personal stuff.

Also I hope this qualifies
