A 24-hour-long video game can take that kind of time to make its points—a nine-hour TV series, not so much.

Did... did this “article” time travel from 2002?

This. Just reboot the film franchise already. Or stop making them altogether. Ford is well past his prime for reprising his action hero roles. The only time it worked particularly well was in Blade Runner 2049 and that's because he was barely in it. The last two Indy films were just pretty terrible (Dial of Destiny…

I definitely do not think it’s a scam, and it actually looks really good! Eurogamer has a great video on youtube about it, they really liked it! I was actually a bit surprised how positive all the early reception has been so far.

Its almost like we should just pirate everything Ubisoft (and every AAA publisher) ever makes.

“Got comfortable” and “Begrudgingly accepted the lack of alternatives” are two very different things.

That’s why we don’t have one, every game we’d play on XBsX is on PC as well and the PC versions are almost infallably superior if you have the hardware (which we do).

I think another reason for this is that like a lot of people across the world there’s a large PC market, which cuts into the Xbox market. Why buy another console when everything available for it is available for PC if you already own one. The PS5 does not have this issue. It’s one of the reason why Microsoft poured so…

Don’t recent Metroidvania games usually have indicators on the in-game map to keep track of this?

I know Metroid Prime Remastered had a full 3D map that color coded things that needed particular upgrades to pass them, which actually seems like a simpler solution to the same problem (because then I don’t have to open a…

Bless your little American cotton socks. There’s a reason that literally the entire rest of the world (apart from a few little 3rd world countries) uses Celsius and the metric system.

If that was a consideration we’d all be saying, “jeez, it’s hard to imagine 1600 is a long time ago, it’s such a big number!”

im pretty sure that mention of a prequel series was just a joke given the part where he mentions it could be a musical. 

And it’s usually about punching down.  

“At least be intellectually consistent.”

Right wing humor is always...bad. As in structurally and in punchline. The ‘joke’ is always just like, ”haha, gays are icky” and like...that’s it? That’s the entire joke. It’s less comedy and more just openly stating bad policy that they also think is hilarious.

I spent more time than I should have reading the store page and trying to divine if this was a parody or sincere, and then I realized: it doesn’t fucking matter, because the Jones vortex is just meaningless nonsense, but like, not in a fun dadaist way.

While so many of his contemporaries (and a lot of the folks he talked about here) are still whining about “cancel culture,” Katt had this absolutely spot on take on the Joe Budden Podcast a couple years ago

As a mother, I would just say step away from the screen. Go outside. Get some fresh air. Beating Tetris is not a life goal.

Oh boy, can’t wait for my local Best Buy to remove their single shelves of DVDs and CDs so that they can cram in more electronic merchandise that consumers are clamoring to buy, like toys and Arcade1Up machines. /s

It isn’t that modern either, it dates back to the heyday of the Hell’s Angels and the Civil Rights Movement drawing a bunch of those fucking chuds out trying to push the idea of a coming race war because black people weren’t allowed to be legally treated like complete and utter shit anymore
