You don’t know what censorship means. You think that only government censorship is censorship. You enjoy this definition because it gives you rhetorical space to claim that censorship isn’t censorship. This is because you enjoy and desire censorship in all its forms.

Well this is the thing about the whole pedophilia discussion - people deliberately try to conflate all levels of creepyness, so they can more effectively shame people, when they are categorically different. Being into women with huge breasts and generous hip:waist ratios, regardless of their age, will never be the…

18 isn’t some objective human universal it’s just a social convention in the United States at this particular point in time. It doesn’t mean much outside of the US. Yeah I know it seems monstrous to depict 16 year olds in any sexual context to us, but it’s not like there’s some kind of magic switch that flips when you…

“While the move is good for Tumblr overall . . .”

It’s clearly not inspired even a little bit by Bioshock or System Shock. It *is* made by people who worked on those games, though.

Counterpoint: no they don’t. That’s your own weird projection. If you spend any amount of time regularly playing games you are a gamer. That’s where it begins and ends. 

Pretty much this. The current definition of “gamer entitlement” seems to be “not cheerleading hard enough”.

All I see is hand-wringing about people venting their disappointment on social media. Blizzard pitched a middle-of-the-road mobile game to a passionate fanbase of PC gamers and action RPG fans. They rejected it, downvoted the YouTube video, and ridiculed the project and its designers. That’s totally normal par for the…

That’s the thing that’s been missing from Transformers movies all these years: not enough nostalgia.

I hope you plan on buying the game and all future titles in the series, since they made these changes to appeal to people like you, and at the cost of their existing fanbase.

White Supremacy is the new “Think of the Children!”

You’re seriously urging us to preorder something which hasn’t even had its game lineup announced or any of the specifics released yet? That’s profoundly irresponsible.

Yeah no thanks.

Or just, you know, ignore it since it's nothing but a bunch of manufactured Discord drama which has zero impact on the game whatsoever. 

Please. He had publications like The New Yorker waxing rhapsodic about his game before it came out. He was on every late-night show talking it up. It wasn’t just obsessed fanboys stalking him and hanging on his every word, there was a mainstream media consensus that he was doing something revolutionary and that this…

“Giant Sandworms aren’t cool or fun in videogames” - Sean Murray.

This. I mean yeah I know it’s silly to correct someone on their Seinfeld reference, but the author has the entire scenario backwards and ought to get it right if they’re going to put it in the title of the article and everything. The “Top of the Muffin To You!” store was baking “muffin tops” by using shallow tins…

SO old-fashioned. Nobody’s into sexy ladies anymore. In fact, people hate them SO MUCH that their mere presence can ruin an entire game for many people.

I think the good and the bad of this is going to be entirely dependent on the quality of community tools and filtering systems that Valve brings to their platform. If its easy for me to find things I like and to avoid things I don’t even want to *know* exist, then it’s fine. If on the other hand my discovery queue…

70% 2D retro pixel art games. I guess that trend isn’t going to die anytime soon.
