What’s the odds on it being down to anti piracy measures.

And that is exactly why it resolves into a negative stereotype. Cat people: uncommitted, uninvested, selfish. Interested in a pet only if it impacts them the least. Indifferent to the quality of affection a pet might show, and preferring indifference toward themselves in their pets. The armchair psychologist doesn’t…

It’s like if Dice made a new Battlefield game. That was an isometric RPG. Weird. Except here, not only has it been 6 years, but... the franchise isn’t exactly huge. That’s WHY it’s been gone for 6 years. So it’s doubly weird, because, why release an isometric dungeon crawler tied into a niche franchise? If they pulled…

I foresee 2 problems emerging:

I’m late to the party here. I’m not trying to make this about men but you’ll probably say so anyway.

I'd appreciate a converse guide for those like myself who have, since moving away from home, lived alone and only in their thirties face the prospect of sharing a house with friends or a lover. I have no understanding of etiquette or basics of cohabitation. I fear that I won't prove able. I can be particular about…

"I was really interested in how we can make games about intimacy without a "kindness coins = sex cutscene" trope"

Reunions are an American thing. I have a handful of pathetic stories from other people about attempts to start the idea here in the UK, pathetic because of lack of interest. I think we must have a very different school culture here, because the last thing on anyone's mind, at any length of time after school,…

As I understood it, who he was we don't know and doesn't matter. When he slit his own throat, and using his own magic as he had used on Talion, he provided a path for Sauron himself to inhabit his own body as Celebrimbor inhabited Talions. Then, the corporeal Sauron attempted to absorb Celebrimbors wraith, which was…

Using the word date, or take you out, or similar, is crucial. I've had great problems with this. I have a laissez faire attitude to dating that I believe is healthy - I don't want to call it a date, I don't want the pressure and the feeling of trying each other on for size, what I want is to establish that we like…

I sympathise with the first guy, having experienced this a few times. Most women will take the time and attention of a man if they can get it, outside of a relationship. They'll hoover that shit up (There are men who do it with women - but disproportionately rarely). They cut you off when they meet someone because…

1. She's as complex as a paper bag. Motivation? History? Actions? Shallow as they come.

Whoa, is this how things go at Kotaku now? Editors telling people to go away because... they discuss the game in the article?

I don't have a dick. This isn't about your persistently framing the issue around the idea that I do and that it is all that counts. That is tired. Do not trot trite phrases learned by rote at me, even if your entire life turns upon regurgitating what the tumblr-ing classes say in the echo chambers of whatever corner…

Their identity is that they're gender exclusionary? Then they can keep it. I wouldn't attend a con if you paid me, but I know women who do, and not only do they tell me the "creeps at cons" narrative is false in their experience, but not one of them would support or attend this con. They like me would question the…

Really? I came to post that while I don't wish to take away from the cosplay, a "Geek Girl" con is as gender divisive and exclusionary as it gets. I thought we were done with the geek girl moniker, to boot.

No. Nope. Revan, male or female, light or dark (female and light as far as I'm concerned) found bigger better hidden threats in the unknown regions of space and vanished to fight/recruit/dominate them. The choice in all that is the key point of KotOR. Bringing Revan back cast in a set form and path defeats the purpose…

The sour grapes that is woven into the modern dating scene is so strong we can all taste it. Over and over again I read articles explaining how being single is not bad - and then doing their utmost to reassure people against being rejected and staying alone - while nobody mentions the elephant in the room, that…

To kill people.

Who is it on then. If you're a believer in progressive society, who is it that's supposed to take responsibility for teaching people the proper way to behave if not the people around you. We're expected to challenge, for example, domestic abuse, rape culture, racism, where we see it. Why then is it wrong to suggest…
