I just couldn’t do it. I got fifteen minutes into a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time and it felt completely unplayable and completely uninteresting.

I saw this on TV as a kid and was forever haunted by the realization... they have salamander babies running around in space somewhere.

Weird, guess the rumor mill is once again BS. HJK is still in the film (thank god).

The Outer Worlds is Fallout in Space with simplified dialogue options and weirder weapons and no vaults. There’s almost no connection to Borderlands other than Borderlands and Fallout both being obsessed with vaults.

On the latter part, what I find so hilarious about the antagonism against romances is that it’s not like having them in the game removes any other parts of the game.

As someone who completely ignored the first Nier game and didn’t feel like I missed anything, I’ll survive without microtransaction BS.

Freedom of Speech protects his right to be a bigot and bully -- from the government. People are fully allowed to tell him to STFU and keep him off Saturday Night Live.

He isn’t out there advocating for anything terrible

Certainly a lot of people are playing it, but nobody I actually know is playing it.

Are there still perpetually coddled and handheld baby boomers slinging around catchphrases they made up twenty years ago to crap on successive generations for policies they themselves invented and imposed on them unasked and a political and economic system they have a stranglehold on leading to a modern gerontocracy…

Nolan is the dudebro’s intellectual. He’s just visceral enough to remind them of car crashes and bomb explosions and just cerebral enough to make them think there are twenty layers to the things he makes when there are probably two or three.

People are really, really struggling to ignore Christopher Nolan praising Watchmen and saying Zack Snyder is a visionary filmmaker.

Watched a video of some college student telling Burlington City Council to make it illegal to compare the genocide in Gaza to other genocides because it’s not fair to other genocides. Took her a while to realize she’d called it a genocide.

Every president is bought and paid for. The question is how many people bought him and for how much.

I’d knock it down one peg.

Which works because for years a ton of people wished they could just play Pokemon as a real time game just as frequently as they wished Final Fantasy would make the leap.

Pokemon is dogfighting, and the humans in the Pokemon world eat Pokemon as a delicacy. This doesn’t dramatically increase the violence over any other game where you hunt animals.

Your Pals can do all the grunt work for you. Need to chop a tree? Hit a tree once and your deer chops wood for you. Need to mine stone? Hit a rock and your flying cat bat mines stone for you.

Pretty sure the only games where you have to punch trees are Minecraft and Rust. Both of those games came out over a decade ago.

You know what else is about time and resource management, having a job.
