Which in essence makes my point even stronger. I loved GoW on PS4 despite my understanding of the or games being even more shallow than I thought. I can't even write a single longish sentence workout a mistake about these games and still had a great time.

Hi, since I’m seeing lots of talk about whether the headline/image are a spoiler, here’s my thinking on that: it’s only a spoiler if you look at Lev being trans as something that’s meant to be a surprise or some kind of dramatic reveal. Years upon years of trans storylines have taught us this (think: The Crying Game,…

Same!! I struggle with this desire because I worry it veers too close to me wanting someone’s gender or sexuality to “not matter,” which I don’t think I want. Like, I am trans all the time, and that affects my experience--a short film about me going to the grocery store would be a film about a trans person going to…

“The game merely shows me that trans men exist, a fact I already knew.”

Yeah I would actively be playing Rock Band 4, but since they dont make instruments any more, its not worth me spending hundreds of dollars on used equipment to only play it. Its a shame. That was probably one of my favorite games in high school and college

The problem is that music is so niche, no one is going to buy it.  Your regular gamer wants to hear stuff from the radio.  That’s just how it is.

As much as I love EDM/J-EDM, I think that Harmonix knows that most US gamers are going to want to mix tracks by Cardi B and Macklemore instead of tracks by, say, Gammer or teranoid.

I loved the original to death and was insanely excited for XC2. But after a good 60 hours or so of it, I ended up really agreeing with Jason on a lot of things.

short version: if everybody on one team can communicate without fear of being harassed (and therefore without the need to mute voice comms or whatever), they’re probably going to be more coordinated than a team with one or more members who can’t just easily use chat. even beyond the harassment issue, if you’re looking…

I knew something was up the second I saw the standard circus of reactionary youtube gamer chuds all targeting one single person with a laser focus. Like, that’s your immediate clue to know whatever “anger” going on is entirely performative and in bad faith.  

They found their target of the month—and a woman too, how…

Management types *need* concrete timelines, so you just need to hit them with the yo dawg, I heard you like timelines, so here’s my timeline for when the timeline to create the timeline will be estimated.

Holy shit, the no producers part explains so much of what came before (terrible communication, and no one thereto say no to unreasonable requests). It’s a friggin full-time job, you can’t just put that work on people who already have other stuff to do. Sure everyone should show initiative and self-management, but…

Fucks sake, HIRE A PRODUCTION TEAM.

I also love how Microsoft is always trying new things with their user interface. Some iterations work better than others, but it honestly is better than Sony’s boring interface. And don’t get me started on the Nintendo “Homebrew has better customization” Switch

I think you're confusing "Xbox One" with "something else."

“Hey guys, thanks so much for finding common ground and putting aside past animosity to build a new future together, but I was talking to this god child AI thing and I’m gonna kill all robotic life so it was pointless. Good effort though, sorry for wasting y’alls time.”

There was nothing “lovable” about the renegade in ME 2-3. They were a monumental a-hole who did some truly monstrous stuff.

Auto update is way too hit or miss for me. I leave my PS4 in sleep and sometimes it updates and copies games and other times it doesn’t.
