We wouldn't have CS:GO, DotA, League, or any autochess game if major developers didn't allow modders to explore in their game space.
Nintendo's pride is their Achilles heel. They have amazing fans and players who Nintendo routinely thwarts and ignores, all to their own loss.

Sky Williams stuff: In late 2017, I was on a broadcast crew for an Amazon event. They flew out and put up a bunch of big twitch influencers to play tablet games.
Sky was thrown out for screaming at and trying to physically intimidate a female pro player backstage after losing.

Several delusions worth clearing up:

Utterly ridiculous. Absolutely laughable deflective nonsense. No reason to confront that claim logically.

The only melee controller options left are:
- $500 boutique controllers with bespoke artwork and angle notches only spacie players need or
- $50 ebay controllers with dorito dust from 2006, fake stick caps that don't work, and that unmistakable "thrown against a wall" feeling

2. "Panda could've prevented this." If you have some sort of top secret insider info, and you haven't leaked it by now, you're either a fed or you're crazy.
More than enough stuff leaked by now to make it clear Panda brass was, being charitable, out of their depth. Sorry.

D1 was always with friends at those parties. Cinnpie was getting handsy with a child on camera at a local. Victims waited years to come forward. They didn't feel safe doing so because of how we might react. We didn't do enough. The people around them didn't do enough.
