Do I need to play the first two to understand the plot?

Yes, because there's no real difference between Kleenex and other brands of tissues. There's a huge difference between a coke and a sprite for instance.

That's silly, if you're spending an entire day in a dungeon resting and sleeping then monsters should definitely be interrupting you and making it so you can't exploit the rules.

You think Ubisoft games will have modding? Hahahaha no, no it will flop on launch and the live service elements will die within a year

You want.... Smart balls? Smart tech can't even make toast right but you want it in your balls???!?!

You know how in default when you are in a battle and knock out an opponent's pokemon, it tells you what they're going to put out next and asks you if you'd like to switch pokemon? That's 'switch' mode, in 'set' mode you aren't asked that and have to use a turn to switch pokemon if you're at a type disadvantage, meaning they get a turn of damage or set up. Really makes you think about strategy a lot more, and is integral to challenge runs like nuzlockes.

That's a longer term than I expected, i guess they think they can still win this season, maybe the one after.

Anyone sane with the skillset has been hired to do similar work for an actual paycheck and no fear of jail

Then why doesn't steam on PC charge a monthly fee to use it's many extensive services? Just because they've given a reason for charging for something, doesn't mean we need to accept it blindly.

I can't fathom how you'd even play Diablo with a controller, just stick with it.

Just league minimums I believe, maybe a midlevel exception

Because the guy had a Patreon charging for the mod. He was profiting from their IP, there are pokemon mods for hundreds of games and hundreds of fan made pokemon games that exist because they don't charge for them.

What a cynical, bad take. "We don't live in a utopia so as a whole we're bad." Do you have literally any idea how much good is done on a daily basis, and on a cosmic scale how amazing it is that you even exist to have this thought? The guy in the post booed earth as a joke lol, it's just funny. Take a breath.
