I understand a lot of video game players are excited for this.

So I’ll speak plainly.

Between the disgusting business practices of the studio, the direct harm to physical media, and the optics damage GTA has done to gaming, DO NOT buy this. You are harming gaming at its core.

It sucks that Splatoon will probably never be super popular in the west. Mostly because many think the game is "for children" since the graphics aren't realistic or because the Switch is a "weaker" console when the only reason should be whether or not it's fun to play.

地表面との高低差も可視化してお��、ぐりぐり動かせます！🚇

※アナログ・デジタル両方で既往事例がありますが、各駅の深さから擬似的に補間されたものが多く、建設図面（縦断面図）から各区間を詳細に読み取り作成しました。

edit: I miscounted the number of stages in the graphic; there are actually 34 stages in this proposition. My points still stand

More debunks coming soon.

[ECT @MendicantECT]

No, I do not support increasing the stage list to 38 stages. Really should only be up to 15 tops, but at its current form, it's fine.

Debunk for the proposed additions coming momentarily.

[STAGES @TheForStages]

Reminder That with Hazards Off there should absolutely be more stages considered for play

[ECT @MendicantECT]

* Kongo 64: Extreme verticality on the edges encourages circle-camping with high-jump characters
* Orpheon: The rising/falling platform at the right edge may tilt matchups to those who have semi-spikes (think tail end of Corneria to a lesser extent)

@gotochelle Jus soli citizenship (the technical term) is really only a thing across all of the Americas, and I am inclined to believe this mechanism was established in the colonial era for less than savory reasons.

@PeasantBiomass @uncle_deluge There's a difference between liking trains and liking to drive trains.

[ECT @MendicantECT]

@atlanticesque @uncle_deluge There was a line dropped left and right (around the time where mental health and well being of flight crew was being a concern thanks to a handful of incidents) that most pilots are likely hidden autistics that manage to get their condition overlooked by the regulators.

@MeleeChicago Had to be the same weekend as C2E2 (which is hosting its own thing that I will be aiding production on)

@conejeros @RpsAgainstTrump A lot of the smaller nations that voted nay include substantial beneficiaries to US aid.

[ECT @MendicantECT]

@RpsAgainstTrump And the others that voted nay include countries that receive substantial aid from the US, e.g. Palau and the Marshall Islands - both in the Compact of Free Association with the US.
