My oldest daughter (5) has dabbled in a few games with me in the past, but this is the first game I bought specifically for her and I can’t wait to play it with her this weekend.

This is kind of doxxing myself, but a local council put in super specific curve speed signs to get people to pay more attention. Guess it didn’t work.

[...] it is unlikely the municipality in charge will do anything [...]

So you’re telling me they made a YouTube channel to profit off the misfortune of others, instead of asking their local city or county to install a guard rail, adjust the speed limit, and add warning signs leading up to the curve?

you know what, no. One of the worst things about old pop culture is how little we keep of the mediocre stuff, when that mediocre stuff is very important to understand the culture. For example, how difficult is to find certain sport video games compared to rpgs or adventures. 

What a weirdly hatful comment section. The guy makes YouTube videos.

Lot of good games here, but in my mind, without Ultima (along with Wizardry) we’d have no JRPGs, Asteroids was one of the greatest arcade games of all time (hell, back in the day I even played it at a local Kroger store) and without SimCity we’d not have The Sims...and SimAnt :)

why would you ever let what other people think control what you do ? at the end of the day, its just a video game

There’s a pretty common attitude that all manner of atrocities - murder, torture, rape, even war and genocide - are fine as long as they happen to the “deserving”.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

Get a spoiler synopsis of like, the last hour of Remake, and you’re good. I liked Remake, myself, but if you didn’t like Midgar in the original, Remake is just that in excruciating depth.

It’s less of a Rainbow Road and more of a Bi-way.

Given the randomized elements and procedurally generated levels in the game, Kotaku asked if Pacific Drive uses any generative AI tools. “As a company we have a pretty firm policy against using any of that stuff in really any capacity,” Rosen confirmed.

There are obviously some great songs here, but Baby on Board deserves a place. After all, the B-Sharps were “Bigger than Jesus”, and their reunion on that roof is one of the best moments in the whole show.

Streamer Brain’s a thing though, they’ll be playing with their attention divided because they have to entertain at the same time.

Oh I know how to count, I’ve played Kingdom Hearts games

People claimed the Vox heel turn was some contrived and incomprehensible plot twist, as if oppressed people could never become as brutal and merciless as their former oppressors. However, historical precedent shows otherwise. It’s not an excuse, just a reality check. It’s not even a moral judgment, just simple cause…

No amount of gameplay can ever make up for the disrespect of a particular scene

There was a race car in the 90s that was sponsored by id software (carmack was a customer of the builder) called the doom porsche. It was barely within the letter of and horribly against the spirit of the rules for that series, dominated and was stolen.
