I’m still pissed they abandoned Andromeda. I liked what was there enough, and it could’ve been a good starting over point for the franchise had it been given more time to fix the bugs and graphics. The story and gameplay is nowhere near as bad as everyone kept saying they were—some sidestories were more than…

Alternative Translation: I’ve changed a ton of things about myself to be what society says men should be, and slept with a lot of women and only go after “10s” because that is what society says men should do. Why am I not happy doing what I think everyone else expects of me rather than what I really want?

I think that telling people they don’t know what it’s like to have low self-esteem is one of those things that will make you look like an asshole 100% of the time.

OMG someone calmly and mildly criticized something in a game we better type up a whiny comment accusing the author of being more mad than he actually was

... I got really confused for a second and then remembered that the movie:

I always take the argument that Animal Crossing is never meant to be consumed in binge playthroughs. It is usually a game you play for a little each day. If you have friends, that increases the types of things you can do. I would say that city folk/wild world did little to really shake things up, but New Leaf was a…

I understand that people want a new core game in the franchise. I am one of those people.
