Or the other way around, making diverse games is not yet expected to be financially rewarding, limiting different points of view to low budget titles and independent studios/publishers. Maybe it's my fault for not playing the right genres. Hell, maybe the G.I. Jane - approach to Call of Duty or Battlefield really…

Naw, "customizable" characters are straight white males with a (usually bad) paint job. Give me a black protagonist any time it matters to be a black protagonist.

But the answer to that would be easy, too. "Because it has no relevance to the story I'm trying to tell."

I actually have no idea how mouse control worked in the original X-Wing (was it like this?) - I was a bit late for the golden age of the genre, I think. Maybe I could get used to it but for now it just makes my hand hurt.

Don't know about Joysticks but playing this with the mouse is ... not fun. I might just be getting old but I can't precisely react to anything, least of all the erratic enemy movement, barely enough to keep them on screen most of the time, certainly not enough to actually shoot them (using guns). Rockets work - mostly…

Also translated (with the meaning of displaced or relocated, not between languages). People tend to forget that...

Tell her it doesn't matter, those things don't work anyway.

I'll assume hammering Legos is so they form a smoother surface with the floor and don't hurt when you step on them. So I'm fine with that. The rest's pretty bad though...

Yeah, that's true. But then it was Bioware and it was Mass Effect and you tried not to think about it too much because, hey, it couldn't be anything but awesome, right?

And here I thought it was bad on 1080p

What? The text doesn't scale? That's so...I don't know, last decade or something.

Yeah. You won't notice the first time around (except for the ending) but then you try a game with the galaxy and Shep in a very different state and you think: So why the hell did I even bother to load the ME2-save?

Indeed. Who goes out wearing a tux? And $90? That's some pretty fine T-Shirts.

That definitely seems reasonable. Plus better access to information/obscure words.

Inca, eh?

Even the people who flick on the projector to show you the film (after hours of ads) usually aren't there to hear you applaud. And why would you applaud them when you know how easy it is to flip a switch?

Aren't we all just lesbians trapped in a man's body?

Not sure what names I used, I think, though, that the only one out of that list I did use is James...generally, I stuck with the J-names.

Alas, if Not All X is taken from those who would speak in the voice of reason, what else can you say to those who generalize?

If only de jure and de facto always matched, the world could be so simple.
