Bridge shuffle is a fantastic way to make your opponent really angry at you when you cut their deck. People spend a lot on their cards. Don't do anything that looks abusive to them in front of their owner. Some use an overhand shuffle, but the most common one I encounter across all the games I've played is mash shuffle.…

@MonstaDash Why H2A specifically? How did you feel about the original? The Blur cutscenes are great, but I don't like some art style changes or the new soundtrack. The terminals I am mixed on. They feel out of place in H2 but I don't dislike them as much as H1A's. I loved H2 back in the day, and I think it had the better…

Mods, pin this thread to the front page, change my avatar to a picture of Masuda Junichi skateboarding, ban everyone with a '7' or a 'q' in their username and give us two edit buttons. Oh, and I'd like a tea, please. Milk, no sugar. If you don't, you are cringe. That'll get'em!

The mods are fickle beasts. Sometimes they will leave a thread up for days or weeks when it has long since descended into squabbling and insult throwing, sometimes they lock it down right away. Sometimes they will ignore thread after thread requesting the same thing, only to respond to the latest one requesting the same…

It is difficult to balance. Once something becomes public knowledge you can't put the genie back in the bottle. And when a gaming press, influencer ecosystem and even your average fan on social media is incentivised to spread every little tidbit they know about an upcoming game far and wide, lest they miss out on the…

Don't look at the leaks, then? For me, I would rather get as much information about a product I am considering purchasing as possible. I do not want to buy it only to find that it was not what I wanted or contained elements or practices I do not like that would ruin the game for me. I can appreciate that the owners of the…

Game trailers looking better, or different, in game trailers is nothing new. They have to be made weeks or months beforehand using older builds of the software. Textures, rendering, models, lighting... it's all subject to change. And it is not unheard of for companies to use better hardware, rendering or even pre-rendered…

It might have had some effect, particularly on western branches and companies associated with development, but in Japan the pandemic didn't change things all that much, beyond everyone wearing masks year round instead of seasonally, cancelled public events and goofy government recommendations. I didn't even get a single…

I don't understand why players resent leakers. I can understand why it is a concern for Nintendo and TPC and why they want to stop it. But unless you are part of the company I do not see how knowing more about a product you are interested in purchasing can be a detriment to you. That aside, Nintendo and TPC were always…

@Flametix That's absurd. I cannot believe the solution to players abusing the report system is to tell people to avoid playing with anyone other than friends. I would say that the solution would be to penalise abusers rather than let automatic bans stand, but I already think I know why that won't happen. Reviewing…
