I PLAYED DUSKBLOODS

@Wario64 Got RE4R when I redeemed the code. Does Humble revoke now? They had a price error a few years back where they put Octopath Traveler 2 Preorder for $30. Got the preorder, figured they would just cancel the order before it launched but I got it for $30 when it finally came out.

It’s right next to the plastic spoon.

A Stanford study found that people who played Pokémon heavily as kids developed a small region of the brain that responds specifically to Pokémon characters.

Researchers scanned adults who grew up playing on Game Boy and showed them images of Pokémon like Pikachu and Bulbasaur.

Their brains lit up in the same exact spot, a consistent area in the visual cortex tied to recognizing specific categories of objects.

The reason comes down to childhood. When you’re young, your brain is more flexible, and spending hours memorizing hundreds of similar-looking Pokémon essentially trained it to carve out space just for them.

With the games industry continuing to deteriorate, all I’ve heard from analysts & developers is that major publishers will lean on remakes as safe bets due to the uncertainty of new IPs & the market. So why would you get rid of your best remake studio? What sense does that make?

@Wario64 The code was only for 30 seconds. I was able to get a free burrito in that time. They took the video down after the 30 seconds.

@CentroLeaks I’m still learning this new system, and it definitely needs some fine tuning, but I find it more engaging than classic turn based. Started with Gen 1 and respect classic turn based but I keep nodding off when I go back to older games. I really want to see this system fleshed out.

I’m definitely more aware of animated movies and media in general from the accounts I follow, but my coworkers have talked about Elio. They at least know about it. I might have to ask if they plan to see it in theaters or wait till it is on Disney+.

[A. Jay Meadows @AJayMeadows]

I know a lot of people are blaming the marketing, but I’ve seen a ton of commercials for Elio on a streaming service that we have that includes ads. I, personally, have seen more ads for Elio than any other movie that is currently out.

‘ELIO’ had the worst box office opening for a Pixar film ever with $21M domestically.

But it’s not just one specific reason why people are not seeing a movie on opening weekend. Price, avoiding big crowds, waiting for streaming, and just not being interested in the movie. The numbers may improve later on, much like Elemental did.

I’m seeing a lot of gambling addicts get mad that the casino would dare to increase the chance of getting a pay out.
