Does the threadiverse have a titlegore community?

Return all the Alarmos to the sea from whence they came.

Even calling Trump's election fraud claims "unproven" is lending them far too much weight. "Unsupported" is probably the most charitable way to describe them.

She doesn't even go here!

I know not everybody contemplates the messages found in their preferred media, but it's hard to imagine someone who thinks like that finding anything to like about Star Trek.

It makes sense when you realize they take "women's health" to mean literally one thing only: access to abortions.

To what end? He lives in New York, a solid blue state, and posted his endorsement on his LinkedIn account (heh) unprompted. If he secretly voted differently, a) it wouldn't make any difference and b) he wouldn't be using his influence to encourage people to vote against his secret fave.

I'm not saying this because I trust Bloomberg, I'm saying it because I literally can't see any benefit to him lying about this. Are you suggesting some sort of 4D chess reverse psychology deal where he endorses Kamala so that people who dislike him will trigger his trap card by voting against his publicly supported candidate, which is secretly what he wanted all along?

The implication I got was that Agatha was giving Rio bodies in a sort of unspoken deal to keep Nicky alive--hence her coming and taking him when Nicky backed out. Going a step further, maybe Rio knew that Nicky was no longer going to go along with the plan after this one time that he refused, so he no longer served her needs.

The idea there would be that Agatha can't face him because of the deal she made him an unwitting party to. Based on his nature and how Agatha described him, it seems like if he had known why they were out killing witches constantly (trading their entire lives for an extension of his own), he would not approve.

I take your point but I wouldn't class nuns as the ideal opposing example to Nazis, either.

EDIT: And yes, I know I'm doing the thing.

Yoshi's Woolly World probably still counts. It got a 3DS port, but it's a game whose visual identity is a huge part of the appeal, most of which is lost when running at 240p. In terms of games that probably should be on Switch, I think the Zelda remakes and Yoshi are the last ones. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Nintendo Land would both be hurt by porting to a system with "normal" controls, to the extent that they probably won't bother.

Things are looking up then, perhaps Kuhn will head straight to prison.

There's not really any one reason the Dreamcast failed, but the library being larger doesn't necessarily map to the library being better. The Dreamcast didn't have any heavy hitters on the level of a Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, GoldenEye or Ocarina of Time. In terms of games that are still in the mainstream consciousness, it's probably Sonic Adventure and Shenmue.

The library also had another thing that I think held it back from greater success: ports. Releasing so early, basically in the middle of the lifespan of the PS1 and N64, meant that a lot of the games were cross-platform with one or more previous-generation consoles. It's hard to demonstrate the power of a next-gen console when so many of the exact same games also worked fine on the consoles people already owned.

The other big source of ports in the Dreamcast library were arcade games. Sega was offering the ultimate in home ports of arcade games at exactly the time in the games industry when arcades were collapsing. The Dreamcast was the best way to play basically any cross-platform game that came out in that period, whether it was ported from arcade or lesser consoles, but ultimately they were games you could already play or that you specifically didn't want to.

I don't want to give the impression that the Dreamcast didn't have good or original games, it had both, just not "I must upgrade my console mid-gen"-quality games. It's a library that's aged very well but at the time, not enough people wanted what they were selling.
