I don't know if I'd say necessity, more like inevitability.

I mean, Ubisoft has been publishing the series for at least 14 years. It's pretty solidly theirs. They'd have to willingly give it up.

I don't think it necessarily excludes sex workers, it's just one of those terms that means more than the literal words. For example, just because it's not safe for work, doesn't mean it is then safe for all other situations, like a dinner with extended family.

If you wanted to redo the term to be more literally accurate, I suppose you could say "About or Depicts a Subject that you would rather not have to explain or openly reveal to someone whose beliefs or relationship with you are not casual enough to ensure that, without a doubt, their comfort with you will remain the same after being exposed to your viewing of said content, either in a professional or publicly social setting"

I am honestly not sure how to make that any shorter while encompassing all of what I feel NSFW has truly come to represent for society. It's similar, though not identical, to other words that may have originally meant one thing, but have come to mean another through the years.

I'm suspicious that they were 7 last year given their conduct here today.

Recording the last song with my band before departing from them. Bittersweet, but it's a change I needed.

That's interesting, I like playing those because the entire pathway is often unique to me, what about them makes you not curious to know your own path?

I read the first two sentences and diggy diggy hole started playing in my head. Thank you for that. I haven't decided if I'm being sarcastic yet.

Probably Mythos, Heroes, and Troy written and read by Stephen Fry. He writes Greek Mythology in a digestible, entertaining, but still information dense way, and he's an excellent narrator, of course.

Oh no, you're correct there, it's just sort of a shame that they took an otherwise pretty level tweet and then made the headline sound like he was being dismissive

I mean, the article is just 70% quoting the guy's tweet, it's barely an article.

Oh no, I'm not talking about how deeply interesting the name is. Just the fact that the cat has the word anus in its name.

Edit: I also sound pretty judgmental in my comments about this game. I do genuinely want it to be good! I just feel it's an easy trap for a game to be so directly influenced as it draws high comparisons. I assume the devs know what they're getting into there, so I hope they pull it off on release! Lots of games have high level similarities that don't mean much when you're in the nitty gritty of playing it. I hope it's the case here.

Yeah, the gameplay would have to really redeem it. Looking at the trailer it is unlikely they'll outdo or even match Danganronpa in art style, music, and it'll be tough to see how it stacks up in writing and worldbuilding. It also seems to lack voice acting. The advantage is that Danganronpa's mini games have been mostly just tolerable to me, so the card system could almost easily beat it there, but I never played Danganronpa for the gameplay anyway.

To take this much inspiration is dangerous because if it falls short enough of Danganronpa's quality, then people looking for this sort of story would be easily recommended to play the established, polished series instead. Also, nobody is gonna mention that they named the big evil cat Nyanus?
