This writeup has me wondering how Paper Mario has never made it into Smash. You mention him “doing what he does best” with his jumping and his hammer, but I don’t think that hammer features in any of normal Mario’s move sets throughout Smash history. Could actually create a truly unique character while allowing…

I’ve had a lot of fun playing this game, I enjoy Rick and Morty and South Park, and I’ve never used the phrase SJW unironically. You might be full of your own shit here, hoss. People can like things without fitting into your neat little boxes of what “those people” are all like.

Right. It’s an obvious case of “turnabout is fair play,” only in this example the people who are so quick to call themselves oppressed aren’t. It’s like these fragile white people are so tired of hearing about the actual oppression minorities go through in their country, that the moment they feel any sense of…

It’s fucking infuriating. When people who have never faced oppression are forced to deal with even the slightest inconvenience, they want to jump up and say, “See, I’m oppressed, too!” It happens when white evangelicals want to say they’re oppressed for their faith (even though they’re a significant majority in this…

Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

You can also just drag your browser window until it’s as narrow as a mobile device.

No, libel is when you accuse people of being slumlords and mean-spirited leeches on the working class for owning a duplex. This isn’t exactly libel, but come fucking on. There is no reason to character assassinate someone because they own land. There always have been and always will be people who don’t want to or…

Coldest take in the history of the Internet. Quarantine boredom doesn’t excuse baseless libel. 

Thank you liffie420, very cool!

Why would they include Reach in The Master Chief Collection?

Just curious, because I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying here: Have you played RDR2? Because I mentioned in another comment that I think this article is more about the state of the medium in general, not RDR2 specifically. Your comment seems to be speaking on that same level. I’ve put 30-something hours into…

I think this is an example of “It’s easier to find things not to like about something than it is to find things to praise.” I’m not saying there isn’t room for criticism here, but I don’t honestly get this same experience from this game at all.

The point isn’t that the money is going to get robbed. The point is that a funded tournament like this maybe should have invested a minimal amount of their money in security. It’s unfortunate that it’s a necessary precaution, but it is.

Hey, dude, two things can be depressing at the same time you absolute piece of trash. Not the time or place to pull out your handy, dandy political tragedy measuring tape. I hope your own peace with a young death hasn’t shoved your head so far up your ass that you can’t someday pull it out and realize that the very…

Stopped reading when the DC Extended Universe was described as “most beloved.”

Valerian might have been the biggest disappointment for me in a theater since either Attack of the Clones, or my first date with that girl in my English class who stood me up, but then accidentally showed up to the same movie I planned to take her to with another guy.

You do realize this is the equivalent of the tired joke where you know a character’s a hipster when they say they “don’t even own a TV, man,” right? Glad not watching Westworld works for you. Take your high and mighty attitude about television-at-the-expense-of-self-improvement with you on your way out.

I love that instead of bemoaning both practices as potentially cruel, you make people feel bad for wanting to not be physically altered at birth without a say in the matter. Real neat. Good job. Keep up the good work.

Let me translate your advice into simpler language:

It’s interesting you ask that question. The two mechanics you specifically mentioned—hiding on benches and blending in with crowds—aren’t in this game at all. This is the first Assassin’s Creed game I’ve ever played where I legitimately enjoyed the combat, and I’ve played and mostly enjoyed all the games. They sort of…
