I just can’t buy that he didn’t know what the word meant.

I don’t like how all these apology statements talk about how the person may have “hurt” other people and other communities. When minorities are angry, we are not angry because we are victims, like we are weak people to are slighted by the smallest breeze. We are angry because you disrespected us. You signaled that you…

This has kind of been the basis of my argument for a while now. For the most part, the Left, such as it is, tries to go with the moral high ground, making arguments and statements in good faith and then getting kicked in the teeth anyway. Meanwhile, the Right, such as it is, repeatedly and without fail does everything…

I think that’s also endemic of (a) “fair and balanced” journalism still (mistakenly) means that you need to give every side of an argument equal representation no matter how insignificant their minority might be or if they’re acting in bad faith, and (b) outrageous stories get eyes on your product and clicks on…

I think that bad faith problem also seeps into the politics of general democrats too sadly. Not in a “both sides are equally bad blablabla” kind of way, but in a “I’m a leftist who’s getting really annoyed at how many of our leaders are all talk and no action and will bad faith their way out of being held to any…

I don’t know - it feels like one of the major problems we have (beyond Tech companies only doing the right thing when it’s safe or financially advantageous, even not enforcing their own policies to do so) is that there is a huge epidemic of bad-faith argumentation on the Right that we don’t treat as bad faith.

It’s…

I suspect that their popularity is due economics. Video games are absurdly expensive in many Spanish-speaking countries for various reasons. Living vicariously through Spanish-speaking streamers is a way to enjoy games even if you don’t have the disposable income to play many releases.

I certainly didn’t find them ‘unplayable’ at the time... but again, my expectations were more at ‘KOTOR’ than other, actual shooters, and I still find the basic Mass Effect gameplay more engaging than KOTOR’s, even though ‘not having a lightsaber’ is pretty much always a mark against a game. (Not just this game: any…

Go express your stupid horseshit somewhere else, then.

It’s worth noting that the character Joshua that appears in the trailer, or what little we know about him, is a carbon copy of a Joshua that appears in Vagrant Story, another Ivalice-set Final Fantasy spinoff. And this trailer is more in-line with Vagrant Story than any mainline Final Fantasy.

I would agree that 2 had the better gameplay ideas, but 1 was the total package and even included a bitter sweet story told in form of children’s picture books.

I think general outside influences are ruining my enjoyment of tlou 2. yes, it’s not the game everybody wanted, but i’m tired of hard-right “gamers” complaining about lgbt inclusion, i’m really annoyed by jim sterling’s impressions video (yes, crunch is very bad, i’m not arguing that but he seems to be outwardly…

I’ve heard people say the AI sucks, and Ive heard people say it was good. I will share a thing I saw the AI do today that I thought was interesting though.

Oh, please. There’s a colossal difference between an audience member situating a piece of work within the broader socio-political context in which it was created, and creator from the outset hamfistedly and inelegantly forefronting his/her/their politics at the expense of character and narrative and verisimilitude and…

I think it’s more than fair to ask “Is this the right time for me to play this game”.

Even if they’re not destroyed (yet), removing them is still a good thing because it means that anyone who wants them back up has to jump through those hoops and run it past the people.

I’m so under-represented that my group has no context for what being represented even feels like to even appreciate what it means to be represented

That wasn’t the only tweet. He retweets several graphic videos, made another post, insulted anyone who thought his posts were in poor taste, then made another tweet essentially calling anyone who didn’t agree with him racist, which led to the site's most prominent reporter and writer to finally quit because he was…

I’m not watching any of these videos because I’d like to go in blind, but I can’t agree with this take at all.

Very true, including those two as a Mementos sub-boss request via the Phan-site would have really altered the tenor of these encounters and made them fit the themes of the game much better. Adult society at large are already supposed to resonate as corrupt and villainous, and Atlus repeatedly referenced their…
