Clothing shaming isn’t a thing when the people you’re talking about can actually afford clothes and are deliberately dressing down for something.

I don’t disagree that gaming execs famously don’t know how to dress. I also don’t disagree that the gaming industry is too white/male dominated. But how do you write 1,000 words or whatever about how bad the fashion is and then make the conclusion at the end of “So, basically, invite more marginalized people to The…

I haven’t seen Black Panther yet, but I haven’t liked ANY of the Phase 4 movies. Spider-Man was the best of the bunch and even that felt like the good stuff (mostly just Green Goblin going ham on Spidey in the apartment building) were way overshadowed by the fan service and plot devices that made the rest of the…

How crowded can a NMS planet get? Like if they advertise this stuff, make it easy to find, a bunch of people build bases on it - how much will stick around? Because I don’t find the exploration of NMS to actually be very fun because all planets seem to have the same level of emptiness. It would be cool to land on a…

I just assume all politicians and celebrities are assholes. Some are just regular narcissists and others are criminals. One is obviously worse than the other but you never end up feeling too surprised either way.

Agreed - I didn’t think there was anything hidden in the setup between Daemon and his niece. The gift scene was uncomfortable all on its own, and they were eyeing each other in every scene they were in together. 

I think the big thing with GoT was that it was a new dark twist on what everyone (who didn’t know the books) thought was going to be a Lord of the Rings riff. But then a little kid gets pushed out a window and That Guy From That Thing got beheaded and you realized it was something entirely new.

That seems like the answer to me. Anyone with experience with games or some other kind of virtual hangout space is not at all interested in this. This was built for investors who think young audiences will want this. I imagine it will launch with a bunch of inflated numbers, it will be forced onto the public for a few…

My brief VR experience ended with an upset stomach and a headache that lasted a couple hours. I am still VR-curious, but if that is the result, it’s definitely not worth it.

Funny because I see people driving with their honkers in their phones, too. At least when you’re walking, you’re not likely to cause property damage or kill someone other than yourself.

Yeah, I’m not seeing the appeal of PS Plus. Sony’s bread and butter are their exclusives. And if you want to play them within 18 months of them coming out (when they’re shiny and new and people are excited about them), you’ll pay $70 for them anyway! So you can pay $120 a year for Ubi games, indies and old games that…

The $1 upgrade thing is a ridiculous deal even if it’s not advertised - it’s not really cheating the system when Microsoft is the one offering it. And as for getting “locked in” now - I have already paid and have a multi-year subscription because of that. If they jack up the price, that won’t hurt me in the slightest.…

Agreed. “Officially,” Gamepass is more expensive, but realistically it’s dirt cheap. I was able to load up three years worth of XBox Live for cheap and then convert it all to a Gamepass subscription for $1 or something. All in, I think I got 36 months of Gamepass for something like $3 a month.

This doesn’t really have to do with the article, I just always like to chime in to say how much I love the S. There have been so few AAA games since the start of the pandemic, that currently, I couldn’t care less about performance. Elden Ring and Forza Horizon look great, and I haven’t found any other top tier games…

I’m into this trailer. It was the first Star Wars thing in a while where I was able to ask myself if I’d be interested if I wasn’t already fully immersed in a lifetime of Star Wars content, and the answer was yes! 

I’m holding out for a slim or a must-play. I grabbed a Series S and it’s been awesome as a Gamepass machine. There haven’t been any AAA games that seem worth a new machine so far - even Elden Ring plays really well on the Series S. 

I’ve read The Green Knight, so I wasn’t expecting an action movie. I just feel like the stuff that was inserted - basically the whole “adventure” part of it after the bandits show up until he finds the Green Knight - were weaker than the parts that were actually adapting the original story. I was cool with the dream…

Have you seen The Green Knight? Is that what you’re looking for? Because I was hyped as hell for that and then like 40% of the movie was just nonsense that the director came up with that had nothing to do with. LoTR brought the books to life. It’s a war story, inspired by an actual war, and the movies largely focused…

Agreed. At different times, I’ve been more hyped about AAA games. I am now more interested in playing a creative indie than another cut-and-paste AAA game, but I’m also playing Elden Ring so…

I think Dave likes to just bring this up every once in a while to remind people who he is and that Alanis Morisette might have went down on him at least once. Seems like he’s the one who’s hurt though since it’s 30 years later and he’s still hanging onto her coat tails.
