I'm not seeing how any of that makes Myamoto racist, and I'm seeing more opinions over actual facts.

I will most certainly concede that since this journalist is european he might be missing stuff that is from US/Japan that hes done and that myamoto just might be an asshole in general in these situations and I'm a bit jaded over how bad Japanese business is in general with dealing with the western world so thats why I might call him racist (A better term would be jealous now that I think about it so lets call him that.). But either way he has done some pretty nasty and shady stuff to people.

He tends to get the stories no one else wants to talk about, so yeah. See his Drivergate scandel video. Its pretty neat. I remember that game too. I do like EU journalists. They tend to tell the truth and get stories that tend to get buried over here in the US. Ex. the BBC.

Myamoto discussion

@Archmage MC Be nice to have sources to back all of these claims. Last time I checked, Nintendo is still cranking out some pretty good games. Breath of the wild and Bayonetta 2 (since Nintendo both bought the studio AND told said studio not to tone down her adult nature just because it's a Nintendo title) to name a few recent additions.

@BrassOtter

Well I know RARE had lots of issues with Myamoto before Microsoft bought them. What with Conker getting criticized forcing them to change it, Dinosaur planet being criticized forcing them to change it, Myamoto bashing DK country since RARE redesigned his character and made them way better and did that psuedo 3d sprite thing to blow everyone out of the water, and stuff like that form other sources in the industry. (And then the cancellation of Star Fox 2 on the SNES since it was a better Starfox 64 or Argaont having their engine for Super Mario 64 stolen from them...)

Most of the problems were with people using his IPs and doing them better. Bayonetta isn't his so they got along alright. But you've seen how bad the Metroid games have gotten, how bad the Paper Mario games have gotten, how bad the Mario Party games have gotten, all from executive meddling from what I can tell since he isn't the one making those games. It makes sense when you think about it. Especially when you have a very real western example, IE George Lucas, who did the same thing.

Though time will tell if he'll have the new CEO's ear or not (I don't think he had Iwatas all that much though either), since its do or die with the Switch, so they can't afford Myamoto to have a tantrum if someone makes his IPs better than him, especially if they wanna sell them out for licensing deals to make tons of money off movies and theme parks. Speaking of which, Universal is making a Nintendo themepark inside theirs, which is pretty neat.

Also learning a lot about the US presidents. Teddy is basically the inspiration for Saxton Hale and also the reason why people think of Piranhas the way they do, which is neat. And even all of Lincon's 'bad' things weren't bad at all. Also They had to stretch to find most of them and it was mostly stuff like prostitutes and the like. Also Ronald is hopefully who Trump might emulate, which is pretty good. And man Nixion was abrasive. Lots of the other presidents were family men which was neat.

bingewatching a bunch of history stuff if anyone is interested in any of that.

AND apparently Salt does NOT increase blood pressure that much, its the stress of thinking salt increases blood pressure that actually increases your blood pressure far, far more than salt actually can. And not eating enough salt actually drastically increases your blood pressure. Makes sense knowing what I do about chemistry.

The City of Gems

Guys, I learned something today. Myamoto, the guy who made Mario/Zelda/ect...

Is a total racist. (Against Europeans)

Also hes the reason RARE sold themselves to Microsoft, and Rockstar made GTA3. At least the last one is positive.

Also don't ever work for nintendo if you think you can make good games, at least while he is alive. Otherwise he'll cancel them and steal the game for himself if you don't budge on all his 'creative meddling'. Its why Paper Mario games are so bad now.

UNrelated. Anyone ever heard of the fighting game Skullgirls?

The City of Gems

@Saarebas

So what kinda gem do you wanna make? Lots of fun characters here.

<Snipped quote by pyroman>

Okay, thank you so much! Last question, are Rebellion Gem spots still available? I don't see any filled out in the main post but it looks like it's limited to eight, so I don't wanna apply for a Rebellion Gem if they're all filled/claimed.

@December

Another test subject for Marry!

Man, this dev commentary on conkers hits home so hard. So many games don't do all these little things anymore.

The City of Gems

Hey guys, I found a conkers Bad fur Day developers commentary playthrough. Its pretty interesting.

youtube.com/watch?v=VgtAXCaSlpk&index=..
(It IS Conker's Bad Fur Day, so expect explicit humor and I mean EXPLICIT.)

Didn't know that some of those models used a 32x32 texture map. Holy crap.

@Archmage MC
Mostly the whole "Literally was on guard duty after suffering the traumatic loss of the only people she considered family before the cause I put my entire life into bombed me into kingdom come and bailed" thing.

Eise isn't a Crystal Gem, or at least not yet, the war is still intimately fresh in her mind. To just drop all that off as soon as she wakes up would be pretty bad writing on my part. As it stands now she's just going to be depressed and tired a lot until she rediscovers her self worth and learns how to deal with her survivor's guilt in a healthy and productive manner.

@Pathfinder

oh that makes sense. Want Marry to discover her by testing some diggers in the kindergarten, causing an explosion or something? Or is she just a part of the Rebellion?

Also how are the rebellion gems going to know each other? For a few years or this is where they meet or for centuries?

The City of Gems

I don't expect Eise to have much fun for awhile.

@Pathfinder

Why do you say that? Marry will be fun to hang around, she'll be doing lots of different stuff :P. And everyone likes fire and explosions!

@Archmage MC

Or under it....lol really not sure yet. Something I am playing with. I would love to hear input.

@Akayaofthemoon

Hm... I dunno. Under might be fine, or to the side? Up to you depending on how big the city is and stuff. Could just be inside a blue phone booth or something down some super shadey alleyway for all we know. lol

The City of Gems

@Raijinslayer

Then again if they just move in somewhere who is going to be able to expel them?

"Hello police. There are brightly colored sentient rocks squatting next door, please send help"

@DracoLunaris

"Can you report what these things look like?"

"Well, uh... One is shooting out thunderbolts, another is ripping the fabric of space-time, a third one is stalking me while invisible, and another shoots out lasers."

"... Don't prank call the Police. Good day sir."

@Archmage MC

The idea would be the temple but that doesn't mean they don't have a place they could have in the city. It is just unlikely

@Akayaofthemoon

Ah ok. So they're in the shack outside of town sorta thing like the show.

The City of Gems

So wait, question. Do Rebellion gems live in a gem temple, or do they live in some apartment complex in chrysallis city?
