origami king is about as good as paper mario can be under both that framework and the stubborn obsession with completely reinventing the mechanical wheel each time but its frustrating to have that much passion railroaded into weird brand bullshit and insular design philosophy, especially when they keep throwing out nonsensical explanations that contradict whatever the last one was when they broach their awareness of the reception lol, but thats a tendency in nintendo that extends beyond paper mario into lots of awkward poo poo like the reason zelda can never star in a mainline game and whatever else

it isnt drive-by posting its frustrated reactions to the direction discussion like this tends to go at the drop of a hat here from people affected by the stuff thats supposed to be being discussed who have been posting plenty in the thread about the subject matter and not about the thread itself since it opened

There�s a similar thread in CineD, where people insisted on having a thread specifically to discuss #MeToo and Sexual abuse in Hollywood, and it�s just an insanely toxic thread full of people posting past each other with wildly different ideas about what is and isn�t appropriate to talk about or discuss or what specific kind of crimes are sexual abuse and which crimes are simply �creepy�. It�s completely full of people making 100% innocuous throwaway jokes and then spawning multi-page derails about how no one is taking this seriously enough and it�s NOT FUNNY. I don�t think these kinds of thread really work on Something Awful, tbh.

In general a bbcode dead comedy forum full of computer touchers who frequently use humor to cope or comment on the industry shittiness we�re all dealing with is probably a bad place to go and try and carve out a sad thread specifically for talking about things like �the Cosby suite� or Kotick threatening to murder his secretary with a big �ITS NOT FUNNY, no laughing!!� sign on the door. I feel like whether or not Blizzard makes good games that define industry standards for decades is germane to the conversation of where they are in the industry and what their sale will mean to gaming as whole, but sure maybe the pedantics of build craft might be a step to far into the weeds.

move on from your threadban dude its been over half a year
