how old are you? believe it or not, someone who maybe picked up skyrim when they were a child or teen probably feels the difference between 2011 and 2021 more distinctly than you do. it’s a trick of the brain. for those who picked it up, as i did, in their mid-20's, after the brain’s fully developed, we no longer feel

...so that’s your takeaway on this article. 

hatchet is definitely a murder hobo

People unfortunately tend to have a problem of looking for a reason to be offended regardless of intent”

you’re right—but it’s just a bit more odd in this instance, given that gloomhaven was already fairly inclusive in its representations. anyone who picks up the game would get the unmistakable impression that it’s made with some sensitivity towards gender and sexuality, which are also big red flag topics for bigot gamers

table top board games still have a lot of growing up to do to match genuine role playing games. as it is, gloomhaven is just “ultra chess”. which is great, but it’s almost satirical that the goal of “kill everything” has to be re-stated at the beginning of every mission, a hundred times over.

the best writing advice i’ve received is to use only as many words as needed to communicate my point. i now pass this lesson on to you.

as a frosthaven backer i couldn’t be more amped for this game. the major weakness of gloomhaven is the boilerplate fantasy narrative, and literally any effort expended to add a bit of nuance to that is welcome—especially considering how sophisticated the tactical gameplay is.

children don’t typically have money. now, granted, these are probably scalpers, BUT in the event that these cards are destined for the hands of each adult’s child or children, i’m kind of glad they weren’t there. they would’ve been endangered. 

you must’ve been there

adult content should only be between a man and a woman, not a man and a machine!

the reddit nerds are, on balance, mostly good.

celeste and inside are also games that a LOT of people already own...

...and i’m sure there are those gamers who already own the game on steam simply looking to keep their “platforms” looking more uniform. i definitely picked up super meat boy for free on epic even though i’ve probably bought it on three other systems. 

absolutely not. it was terrible. a few great visfx aside, it was such a let-down after that pretty amazing prologue sequence. 

...that’s where the Esports Fighting Tournaments come in.

what an unbelievable piece of shit

the paper bag test thing irks me—can’t wait for there to be so much representation and diversity and games that there’s room for bigots of every race, culture and creed. 

i don’t think you’re taking into consideration the effect of dramatic lower loading times on quality of life. you can now just drop into and out of games basically on the fly. 

...okay? still selling better than the ps4.
