For me, it’s that nobody makes that kind of RPG anymore— third person, action-driven, character-full, story-based, full of NPCs you really care about and starring a character you design and can make choices for that at least give you the feeling of it being *your* version of the story. No loot boxes, no grinding for…

I’m feeling the same way, I think part of my excitement is this comfortable feeling of ‘home’ the ME trilogy has, that and to see how well the original fares with the upgrades and gameplay changes.

I’m way more excited about Mass Effect than I should be...maybe we don’t get enough good Sci-Fi RPGs?

Yeah, my lifelong love for her ended with this show. I still wander into these articles shuffling my feet, wandering out with a blank stare.

Wow. I totally love Drew Barrymore, but watching these two clips has convinced me to not watch her show, because it looks like it might stop me from loving Drew Barrymore.

IIRC, they were considering the elf woman from Awakening for the same narrative role that Anders ended up taking in DA2. I think that would have probably worked better. As is the shift in personality between Awakening Anders and DA2 Anders makes him feel like a completely different character.

This is weird. On one hand I do find modern cancel culture to be excessive and overreactive. And on the other hand racist jokes are shitty and unnecessary. But on the third unexpected why the fuck do I have three hands hand, who the dick wrote that line and thought “huh huh...I made a funny”?

Bioware has lacked that leadership the moment the Doctors left.  Trust me, Hudson was never that guy and I honestly believe Bioware is actually better off without him.

I don’t think people go to video game romances, generally, to simulate deep, nuanced love. They go to get more characterization for their favorite characters, to see cute/funny/heartwarming scenes, and to simply have fun.

When oh when are any of these motherfuckers going to go to jail???? They’re openly doing this shit because there are zero consequences.

In early March my son contracted it from another kid who then transmitted it to my wife (I came out unscathed). Doctors told us my wife didn’t have it because her symptoms didn’t match that of COVID and to not worry about it, she wasn’t contagious. Fast forward months later when we finally have a list of common…

The fact that 277,000 dead Americans later we are still struggling to convince people that COVID is “real” depresses the shit out of me.

The implication that he had it coming for having an addiction is also pretty gross. 

“In a caucus call this week, prominent Democrats blamed progressive messaging on their losses, “don’t say socialism, ever,” they said; we’re not going to win if we “run on Medicare for All, defund the police.””

And he stated he’s never even voted in a single election before. So it’s someone with no skin in the game, no interest in the sport, signing up to play because they think they can win by being special?
ugh.

My favorite moment so far, in bullet points:

Can I just come out now and support my theory that Thor would have been so much better if they’d just cast Kat Dennings as Jane Foster to begin with? She’s got way more personality than Natalie Portman, and at least twice the chemistry with Chris Hemsworth.

lol imagine feeling emasculated by a fucking snake

Stop referring to Dylan Farrow as his adoptive daughter, or any person’s adopted child as their adopted child. It is their child. Just because they are not related by blood does not make them any less related. Adoption is not exotic or make someone an “other”. Adoption makes that child yours in every way and that…

Agreed.  Look at all of the famous actors that have worked with Polanski after his rape charges.  Why isn’t anybody hounding Harrison Ford for working with him on Frantic?  Or Hugh Grant on Bitter Moon?  Everybody’s memory is apparently five minutes old and it’s always on women to explain why they made decisions that…
