What are you talking about? You can do text styling even with toggleable subs. It’s why fansubbers started using .ass/ssa for subtitles back in 2005. No one sane has burned subs into the videos for more than 20 years at this point.

While true, the pool of unlockable devices are dwindling fast.

For all the good things about Trails there’s a lot of flaws as well. There’s a lot of weak plot lines, reused assets (lack of npc variety being one) and there’s quite a few logical leaps happening as the series has progressed. The games are ambitious for sure, but let’s not pretend that hasn’t had its own shortcomings.

For me Trails as a series is very much a case of being better than the sum of its individual parts, and that’s great, but you’re vastly overselling the importance of this series. I enjoy both Trails and Final Fantasy, but it’s wild to put them on the same field like this. Square Enix has more than 4000 employees. Falcom has about 80, I think. The scale is so wastly different.

It’s 98% turn based. 100% if you don’t want to spend a few seconds building stagger.

Well. If you’re not streaming why have such a service in the first place? If I didn’t stream remotely with Plex (and share with my friends and family) I’d just go back to running Kodi on my htpc like I did ten years ago.

There’s a toggle for the store that hides porn games. It’s not visible unless you yourself actively click on it saying you want to see them. If you see garbage it’s on you.

It isn’t about the actual games being targeted. It’s everything about the implications of having a private company dictate what legal content I can buy with my own money. If they cave to lobby groups once, they will do it again. Next time it might be something you care about instead.

Also games made for adults are targeted at adults, not “young people”. You can’t even really see these games on steam unless you are an adult and explicitly turn on visibility of porn games. The average gamer is well up in their thirties at this point as well.

A quick search tells me that DuckDuckGo and other larger partners will retain access, for now.
