Don't remember this much fuss about Incredibles 2 which has scenes set in a strobing black and white box and was aimed at kids who tend to a: have undiagnosed epilepsy more than adults and b: haven't grown out of it like many people do when they enter their teens.

Feel like it's being overblown for clicks to be honest. Like only one person in all of games journalism noticed it?

My little brother had epilepsy and he just got used to being careful, as everyone with the disorder should do.

Yeah, they reduced LGBT+ to LGB, if they succeed with convincing people that's legit they'll probably go after the B next (easiest to vilify as unrepentant sex addicts who will gently caress anything) and then a toss-up if they are more terrified of female children meeting an adult lesbian or male children meeting an adult gay man over who they go after next. It will probably be a schism depending on if the individual TERF has daughters or sons

Minecraft: yes and no

the mainline version has ray tracing, engine improvements and um... some more decorations and more animals

the version you can mod which is usually what you're playing if you're not a child (meant literally, not as some weird jab) is the 'bedrock' version and is virtually unchanged since the acquisition. It'd be nice to get the engine updates and be able to build a nuclear reactor.

So nothing got worse, but nothing got better either? Obviously they're never going to let you mod the mainline version because they want drip feed paid dlc like their version of the sims. But the real issue is the dlc never further the game in any way. They know what they bought made money and they don't want to rock the boat in anyway so no, it's not 'bad' but it is entirely a victim of stagnation.

You can't really do 'engine upgrades' while retaining the modding because the java version is made in Java which is a loving hell language, bedrock (which is the new version) is basically a bottom up rebuild of the game so it actually runs well which is why they have the overhead to do real ray tracing and also run on a Nintendo switch (and allow multiplayer between your monster gaming pc and your kids old iPhone 5). Also they still port all the new gameplay stuff back to java, I don't think anything gameplay wise is missing from it. I know this has nothing to do with iosm besides 'just upgrade the engine duh'

If I want to get into Batgirl, I'm going to have to do my research: find out what all the definitive Batgirl comics so I can read them and keep track of the rest of the DC Universe so I can properly understand why she's doing what she's doing now. I don't want to do homework! I just want to see Batgirl kick some mobsters in the nuts why is this so complicated?!

Has a friend insist I could start reading Batman at new52 because that event is supposed to reset everything so new readers don’t find it impenetrable,and it’d make sense all on its own, it’s good honest (this was like 2 years after new52) and like 10 issues in Batman was all sad and depressed and gloomy for no reason, at least that Batman would tell me. Turns out Batman’s son got killed or something? Of course to learn that I had to read nightwing or teen titans or whatever. Marvel and DC can’t help but try to rope you into reading their entire loving catalogue even when doing a reboot whos entire stated purpose is to reset the continuity.
