They shouldn’t have spending limits, they should be illegal. These things are essentially fraud designed specifically to exploit vulnerable people. They’re no better than a pickpocket who steals your watch when you don’t pay attention.

Because they are no less dangerous to the people who become addicted than a controlled substance. Addictive personality disorders, like eating disorders, are not something that you can reliably manage through conscientious habits and self-control. They prey upon your impulse control and in part actively interfere with…

I legitimately don’t know what to say about this, the problem is these ‘games’ are nothing of the sort. They aren’t fun, they aren’t even gambling, they just straight up exist to take advantage of people with problems. I honestly struggle to see this as anything except fraud, and I’m saying that as someone who thinks…

You cannot be objectively attractive. Attractiveness is subjective, never a fact.

Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep is worth it.

*Spoiler warning if anyone really actually needs it...*

It’s really about Tina (who was already deeply traumatized from witnessing her parents’ deaths at a very young age) coming to terms with Roland’s death in the main game.

So aside from some pretty solid jokes about…

Definitely a good expansion, but I’m incredibly dubious on your argument about the confidence being undeserved. One, I like how much they got into things - I can respect the willingness to be absurd. Two, holy fuck was BL2's writing good. Yes, the itemization was worse than BL1 (which remains some of the best…

The primary reason given was lack of growth. Covid is just a compounding issue. They are pretty clear on the reasons and there is 0 indication of any affects on the other events. They even state that they hope to see everyone at their other events as they return.

That’s certainly the impression I’m getting from the community. Lot of diehard PAX attendees saying some permutation of “Sad to see it go, but I’m not traveling to/spending money in Texas with the way things are.” Can’t blame them. Jeez, yeesh, and/or yikes! 😬

I would love to see Gearbox and Rooster Teeth, etc. move out of Texas for their attempts at making Handmaiden’s Tale non-fiction. Randy Pitchford hinted at that possibility, but he gets no credit for a tweet of intention.

I imagine the political situation in Texas isn't helping either.

Not at all mixed.

She should try being a Nazi sympathizer or an anti-vaxxer. Those people never seem to get deplatformed. Probably because they’re not doing anything TRULY evil, like being a woman in a hot tub.

What? Sorry, Myles. I disagree. This was a solid B+.

I’m happy Brendan Hunt got a showcase episode and I couldn’t care less if some people found it to be tangential to the series.

Honestly, I’m not even sure what they’d do for Overwatch 2 anyways. To be fair though, I haven’t played the game in years, and that doesn’t really disappoint me given how they’ve been behaving. From supporting China’s abuse of Taiwan, to hiring torture apologists, from sexual abuse, to layoffs for devs as the moneymen…

Slight spoilers for anyone who has not seen the Christmas episode:

Sudeikis might have been lip-syncing, but I have no doubt that West End vet Waddingham was actually singing. (And, indeed, that the whole point of the scene, much like the karaoke scene from last season, was to show off Waddingham’s voice.)

I admit that literal Santa flying by was a bit too twee for me, but I was on board up to that point, and I don’t really understand why this episode would suddenly turn you against the show if you were already a fan. As was mentioned in the review comments, it’s much more of a Christmas special rather than a…

Their product lineup is arguably in the worst state it’s ever been in, the state of California is against them, the public is against them, their employees are against them, and now their investors are against them.

In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her. There is a lessen here about the fact that the misogyny in the game industry is reinforced…
