It’s a start. There’s DLC, Infinity missions, leveling all the characters, Superior Mode. There is a ton to do beyond just completing the game. 

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

i guess you’re right. as long as you disregard everything about it, it totally does fit

This. It’s their prerogative if they want to make tweaks, but bullshitting us about it is where they take the piss.

Good for them. Those old pinup illustrations were cringey and embarassing.

I had it playing while I was at work. It was one of the funniest runs I’ve watched. Second only to Bonesaw’s Jak and Daxter mess

Real Talk? I missed it and haven’t had time to watch it yet today. It’s on my to-do list for tonight!

I’m surprised you mentioned randomizers but not the Zelda randomizer race from yesterday. It was fantastic, especially the commentary.
Also

I keep this for just such occasions.

This reminds me of my playthroughs in Half-Life: I’ve played through the game maybe 5 or 6 times, and I mostly use the main “regular” weapons: shotgun, machinegun. There are powerful weapons like the Gauss and Gluon guns, but I end up almost never using them, afraid to waste ammo until I need them for a boss... and I…

If the master sword never breaks, why would you use anything else once you got it? That idea completely breaks the whole mechanical and thematic point of the system.

Down the rabbit hole indeed.

yep.  worst part about level progression in gaming is often you don’t get to use cool gear until the very end of the game when you don’t really feel like playing anymore.  this gives you the option to avoid that.

Completely fine with it.  Its a single-player game.  Exploiting and playing games the “wrong” way has always been a part of video game culture.  As long as it doesnt ruin the game or fun for other people, its cool.  

I’d say that it’ll be their big focus at E3 2020 and then we’ll see it that fall

Everyone mentions the breakable weapons, but the one thing I really hope they change is climbing in the rain. Definitely the most annoying part of the game for me.

I wouldn’t worry about it. By backstory, I think she means they refer very vaguely to the role Hornet plays in the first Hollow Knight. Aside from that, they show the very, very beginning of the game, so if you don’t mind seeing the opening cutscene and the first boss or two, you’re fine.

Also its multi language for my fellow euro people! But only local multiplayer it seems...

I find it funny how so many shows with characters that are hardcore individualists have fanbases that are so filled with groupthink. So many of them think Rick is a hero and think they can be like him, but just end up being a Jerry.
