Well, they're not wrong, exactly.
The DD format is itself already a digital analogue of Shadow Puppetry, this could work really well.

Gamers are the worst.
Now, a real thing to be upset about might be the loot-boxification of the crypt and all of the microtransactions, as well as how grindy unlocking things has become as a result, but terrible WB business practices don't get people as riled as sjws taking away their digital tiddies!
Yep. Less skin = more unhappy fanbois.
But also people talking about the ~$6000 it’ll take to unlock everything if you don’t want to spend 4000+ hours grinding for crystals.

Yeah, the 3000 hours or 6000 dollars to unlock everything number made me wretch.
It's a good thing I don't actually like playing Mortal Kombat and just spent a day sick in bed watching the entire storyline on Youtube (Which was fucking batshit insane in the best possible way, minus SHITTY Ronda Rousey VAing).
I highly recommend people spend 4 sweaty, feverish hours watching the cutscenes. They're great! You don't have to play Mortal Kombat's God awful janky fighting game that's not fun in any way.
I love playing mortal kombat games, but I don't like how this one just turned into injustice. That combined with WB doing their best to become the new worst company in gaming means I'll be staying far away from the game.More nonsense.
That's not even her base skin. This is, and it's fucking awesome. She's a God damn blood witch.
But I second watching the cutscenes, fever optional.

Yeah, this. It looks, feels, plays, everything is just... an asset swap for Injustice. Meh.

It really is too bad this game is mired in how shitty a company WB is.
Lui Kang and Kitana becoming new elder gods to rule over a new timeline of their crafting was pretty bananas and I did not see that coming. This may have been one of the first timey wimey (Timequake!) storylines I didn't actively hate. Loved all the past selves and future selves all interacting. Roundy Rousey is hard to listen to and about 98% reduction in quality over Trisha Helfer. Didn't quite like Cassie's new VA either.

That looks fun. I'd play it

Doesn't look like FTL to me at all. More like sims meets viscera cleanup detail.

Knowing the developer (Knights of Pen & Paper, Chroma Squad) the meta-humor will be strong with this one.

Shovel Knight is actually 3D. WUT?
This Twitter thread outlines some problems Nintendo has. Long story short:
If you get suspended or banned from Nintendo online, there's no formal appeal process. Your only recourse is calling customer service.
BUUUUT, customer service is given no training on how to handle those calls. The customer service rep in this situation was laid off for saying anything that wasn't mentioned in the email.
Like, the flag got my attention but this isn't about that. I've known Nintendo is terrible at helping customers but I had no idea it was because they're also terrible at handling employees.
And yet "we said it therefore that is the end of it" feels just right for Nanny Nintendo.
And I'm done with Fortnite.
You'd be surprised how much your gameplay improves just by having additional time to spend playing it.

MCCC (a major Sims 4 mod) discord made a rule change that suggests they're monitoring your behavior elsewhere and expecting you to conform to their TOS outside of their forum. "It has come to our attention that you're a user of a banned-in-our-discord mod." If it never came up in their discord, how did it come to their attention?
