If Disney wants to suggest that Moon Knight has dissociative identity disorder, that’s fine, but in order to avoid making light of a real-life diagnosis by connecting it to a very unreal fictional character, we will be operating under the assumption that Moon Knight’s personalities have a tangible, albeit…

Fuck the red Okami cosplaying as Dumbledore spamming Glintstone and the bear with the grey tribal fur tattoo that spends all his time perfecting his ratio of growth hormone to androgenic steroids when he's not busy aggroing you from a stadium away, in particular

“We promise no crunch” -March 2022, when deadlines and announcements and release dates and quarterly earning timelines can all still easily be met.

Well that explains why I suddenly stopped seeing messages and specters in Elden Ring yesterday.

It’s also possible that Aegon is a pretender that was created or maintained by Varys, which was already a pretty popular theory in 2011 when Dance with Dragons came out. The show going the direction it did mostly confirmed to a large portion of the readership that Aegon was in fact Fake, thus Faegon.

If famed and hugely popular fantasy novelist George R. R. Martin is involved in contributing to your world (debate the extent all we want, he’s credited and it’s remarked upon and official), when an NPC in your game gives you four options to discuss,

So... Nothing, really. Martin said he never hid his initials in the game world, which is true, but that his initials are presented in the game as a wink to his involvement is also true.

Radahn Rykard also perfectly aligns with Raymond Richard, *dons tinfoil hat*

I think there’s enough bits from interviews to establish that, more or less the show ends with the same beats and same larger arcs, however the finer points of how we get there and the emotional stakes and payoff will differ.

People in the comments, Martin’s blog post and across this and other reports all seem to be missing the bit that made it seem like GRRM’s initials were deliberately placed there:

I think it’s more a case of placeholder/leftover/oversight element kinda bug, like an area that was going to be used in cut content, or for an area they plan on developing in DLC, than something which would have any negative blowback to the world. 

If anyone wants to trivialize PvE, grab the Blasphemous Blade from exchanging Rykard’s Remembrance, level up to 7+ with Somber Smithing Stones, have high Strength and Faith, buff self with Black Flame’s Protection, Flame, Grant me Strength, light yourself and everything around you on fire with the Flame of Frenzy and…

The real game is Azad and it’s played on a Board of Origin, the Board of Form, and a Board of Becoming and actually is much more complex than chess.

On its face, this statement seems to reflect at least a little more movement than George R.R. Martin’s usual “I’ll get to it when I get to it” responses, but saying that something is “finished mostly” might as well mean “we haven’t started, please stop asking.”

Malenia is super cool, but Ranni and Blaidd are probably my favorites. I can’t resist a wolfman or a big witch hat.

The ol’ World of Warcraft manual when it still came in CD form (lol) was thicc with explanatory lore of the previous games, explanations of its systems, breakdowns of classes and abilities, last time I remember enjoying a game manual on its own merits. 

Someone also on reddit did a mock up of the neat visual design choices at work and how it directs player attention without needing billboard interface overlay or neon arrows:

Ever since 1997's Final Fantasy Tactics for the PS1, fans have been waiting for a true successor to the game. There have been plenty of decent follow-ups and the Fire Emblem games have only gotten better in the time since, but nothing has quite captured the mix of political storytelling and imaginative class system of…

You’re missing my point; why is the dichotomy between flinging yourself in and figuring it out, verses putting the game aside and googling a goddamn video?

Great to see, when all of the content started being ‘Partnered’ and with the comments closed I was terribly worried this place had gone the way of Deadspin, very happy to witness collective action at work in winning gains for labour.
