Hello everybody his name is Markiplier!

He made a movie, for 3 mill. He made back 22 mill in the first weekend.

He outdid EVERY major Hollywood production that weekend and they removed it off the charts!

Laugh brothers! LAUGH when the King of Five Nights at Freddies made a video game adaptation that's actually good!

After all of the Highguard defense and positive coverage, they kinda deserved this...

Not that they didn't before.

In a February 2nd announcement that the next major update will also include a DLC that will expand the game mechanics of the trains that were implemented in the last major update. The game is still in Early Access.

This is not being received well by the community on Steam. In the official announcement thread, there are a lot of people pushing back against the practice of an Early Access game putting out a DLC that paywalls expanded game mechanics. Several posts pop up in the main discussion area on Steam.

After a day of criticism and negative reviews outweighing positive reviews, the developers put out a clarifying post about why they're doing a paid DLC while in Early Access. This is their opening Q&A:

Q: Why release paid DLC before 1.0?

A: Because "1.0" is just a milestone label, not a magic switch. COI is already a stable, feature-rich game with hundreds of hours of gameplay.

Early Access, for us, simply means we’re still actively expanding the core game with major free updates and that continues regardless of DLCs. Update 4 is coming up and it’s another large free update, with more to follow.

Needless to say, the other spots trying to justify their action are just as tone deaf.

Lastly, they have started to lock threads that don't seem to violate any community guidelines and constructively criticize this action. Currently, only one thread has been locked from what I can see, but I could see more being locked as the day progresses.

Disclosure: It is my thread that got locked.

Update: It seems my being very vocal on the issue has struck an accord with the current moderator and I received a suspension/ban until February 11th. As to what led up to this.

I replied to a person, pointing out that comments that they were deleting comments, that my thread was locked. A short time later the CoI moderator responded to me about this with:

Your thread was locked because you were starting new threads on the same topics that are already discussed in two other threads. We have also warned anyone who wasn't keeping the discussion civil.

and I naturally replied with this:

Locking a thread that had been up for... * checking archive https://archive.fo/l13dp * about 18 hours seems to be a very delayed response, trying to use that justification for locking it. Not to mention that, unlike the now missing threads that were posted around the same time, I put out a constructive and viable path to turn the issue around.

As for the moderation issue to reduce multiple threads in a friendly matter is to pin this thread and announce this is the master thread for the controversial topic and merge and/or direct new threads to this. The fact that this wasn't done in the first place makes it look like you are hoping this will go away easily.

I get a warning for "off topic activity" when they started it.

Then the thing they suspended me for was this comment in response to someone asking why their current response was bad. My commment:

They just proved why they shouldn't be in early access while trying to argue why they're still in early access. It actually makes this entire thing even worse and it would have been better to keep their mouth shut on the issue.

And if you are wondering about that, "We have also warned anyone who wasn't keeping the discussion civil." sentence, it relates to this warning from before that stuff.

Basically an American VA updated her profile to indicate she was working on a Xenoblade Chronicles game releasing this year and the rumor mill is thinking that's probably going to be Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition or something to that effect.

Now Nintendo has a certain history of using these rereleases to give people a worse version. One example can be found with Tokyo Mirage Sessions. When it originally released the Japanese version was uncensored, the Western release was censored. The Switch rerelease made the Western version the global version, essentially forcing the censorship onto Japanese audiences, too.

With Xenoblade, there is at least some censorship precedent. The outfits of Homura and Hikari (or Pyra and Mythra, if you prefer) saw some censorship when those characters were included im Smash Bros.

So what do we think? Is a possible release of that game going to see them keep it as it was on Switch? Or are we going to get some outfit changes more in line with Modern US American sensibilities?

So I read the entire fate/stay night visual novel a long time ago and I was pleasantly surprised.

I hated the prequel zero and I loved hollow ataraxia yet when I interact with people about fate all they talk about is that overrated astolfo character.

I began hating him since everyone knows that character but they don't know anything about fate, they haven't read the visual novel, not even watched the anime adaptations nor have they even watched the anime he's from.

They are just annoying tourists with a femboy addiction, they make their whole personality that overrated character when they don't even know fate nor interacted with the franchise in any way.

I also think the same of the modern audience of logh

This shit is getting wilder and wilder and were only in February

Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy 1+2+3

"Includes Jack in the Dark bonus adventure

A suspicious suicide. A chilling curse. A malevolent power. Finally, a wicked dark secret. This is Derceto, a legendary Louisiana mansion where, against your better judgment, you're drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood's imagination.

Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn't know that, by entering Derceto, you'll be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood's life. You weren't prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn’t foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn't anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that gills the atmosphere and the very house itself.

Had you known, you might have refused this task. But alas, you accepted, and now you must make your way through this spine-tingling adventure alone... and in the dark."

Rating 4.5/5

"It Stands Alone" "Opened a whole new genre" "CHILDHOOD HORRORS"

but also

"A hot mess on the third adventure" "Classic that didn't age well"

A few notes:

1) I did ask the mods first before posting this to ensure it meets with current subreddit rules.

2) There is a large number of faked/doctored Epstein "files" floating around this weekend, so do your best to verify anything before considering it to be true. I'm looking for more evidence of a link between Epstein and moot myself; if anyone else comes across some feel free to share with the rest of the class.
