Yes.

I really want this to get a sequel.

Never thought about it or paid any attention. I don’t even remember whether I used my left or right hand as a kid (probably right, since I’m right-handed), but I always went stick-left buttons-right with everything else. I have a Pac-Man (needs some cleanup and work, but is in reasonable shape)... Went to check it and…

On the up side, not many people can say they played your game.

A couple of things to consider (this ended up being a longer post than I thought it would; I know, a long-winded Arnheim post—shocking):

1.) Most people don’t understand that argument—at least in the academic sense—is an intellectual exercise as often as it’s intended to actually shift a person’s perspective on a given…

That’s a yikes. If you believe all that stuff you just said, you’re terribly misinformed. It’s not up to Reggie how to design Samus, or write her story. Reggie is also not singlehandedly responsible for clearing or dismissing a new game idea. He doesn’t come up with all the game ideas and go around telling the…

15 years of goodwill, ups & downs, growth, and just being a good guy are wiped away because Wii owners didn’t get 3 games? Interesting take.

When did I say I was offended? I can think something is ridiculous and cringe-worthy without being offended. But you’re probably just chomping at the bit so hard to call someone overly sensitive that you didn’t think about that, right?

I’m going to assume you’re missing the point on purpose. The alternative assumption would be insulting to your intelligence.

Honestly, probably something from Ghosts N’ Goblins. I’m old enough that I played (and beat) both Battletoads and the first NES TMNT (water level included) without a GameGenie—but I kinda think that both hindsight and personal pride might be convincing me that those things were easier than they were.

I was, what—eight…

Every time I visit them they taunt me and gang up on me in whatever board or card games we play. It is constant. I introduced my ladyfriend to them and the niece straight up says to her “I’m going to beat you in [board game].” They will not relent and I’ll be damned if I’m going to roll over. 

Okay bye

Came here to be disappointed by lack of Half Life 3 news.

Obsessed stalkers are the worst. To all the stalkers out there, keep it casual, don't be all weird about it.

Except they really, really won’t. Both of my parents are—or were, before they retired—police officers. Dad was an officer in the MPs for twenty odd years.

They act on reports. If there is sufficient cause to make an arrest, they make an arrest—and sufficient cause is a significantly lower legal bar than the “reasonable…

Brother bear, you said, “Anything that can’t be verified to a specific legal threshold is inherently false.”

The definitions provided were to make very clear that an accusation that has not met the burden of proof for conviction is not “inherently false,” thus the differentiation between acquittal (meaning “hey, this…

Victim shaming is part and parcel of rape culture, “ya goof.” The intimation of “what was she wearing/was she drunk/she was probably flirting” is directly associated with saying women “deserve” assault.

It is that idea that women do things to “provoke” assailants (physical in this particular case, but sexual in many,…

As someone who absolutely adores and routinely donates to our national parks, this is sickening.

If there are not sufficient resources to keep the parks staffed, they need to close until such time as staff levels can be returned to normal (and ideally, government pissing contests wouldn’t ever get in the way of public…
