I'm so confused, this game has 94% on metacritic and a "very positive" reception on Steam (91% with 4 000+ reviews). This headline is clickbait as hell, and the comments here are assuming Metaphor: Refantazio got mixed reviews/flamed on socials when it didn't.

The article is just reporting a discussion Katsura Hashino had with Toyama (the creator of Silent Hill) on their views on fan feedback.

This is why I don't care to read Eurogamer articles (and also their cookie preferences with 600+ partners, wtf).

(Also, both Refantazio and the Silent Hill 2 remake are pretty good. Can't believe I have to praise Konami in 2024 🤮)

Meanwhile I've been getting assblasted with ads for it on every whitelisted app/site. I knew this game existed since it was announced in 2016, I am an avid SMT/Persona player. Why tf am I getting the ads?

Marketing team fucked something up in the targeting.

In June 2022, a federal appeals court affirmed Donziger's criminal contempt conviction. In March 2023, the Supreme Court declined to hear further appeals.

I'm shocked.

Most Outspoken Gamers^tm^ nowadays don't even play the games they're being outspoken about. Look at all the clowns calling Ghost of Yotei "woke" for having a female protagonist when Tsushima already had multiple female warriors.

Fuck TMZ for posting his dead body yesterday just to prove they were the ones "breaking the news". That shit was cached my news reader even after they removed it.

The comments on HN seem a bit envious of the original author with how they're trying so hard to invalidate them.

Just how it came across to me.

This is apparently in the Joslyn's collection in Omaha, Nebraska. I'm not sure if it's being displayed right now, but they actually seem to have a pretty diverse collection ranging a large time period.

I had no idea Omaha had such a nice fine arts museum, might have to take a trip down there.

Wym "just as", those sponsored links for Firefox have been around for a while, haven't they? I definitely remember turning that setting off a while ago.

Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.

Thanks for comparing notes!
