“You prepare. You compete. You win or lose. You evaluate. You reevaluate. You re-prepare. You recompete. That’s what life’s about. Getting yourself better and better, and doing it against competition that’s demanding. I think that’s a real value which student athletes in the traditional sports are getting. I’m not…

Yes he is.

Just throwing this out there for anyone who’s interested for the purposes of weightloss: I lost 100 lbs. and very much enjoyed the use I got out of my smartscale, but I advise you to not put too much weight into the body fat % estimator. Those things are all over the freaking map depending on what you’ve eaten for the…

Going to finish Halo SPV3! I’m nearing the end of Assault on the Control Room and its been absolutely freaking incredible thus far.

Any Halo fan out there who hasn’t played it yet would do well to install halo on their pc and load it up. Full controller support for the purists like me who reject Halo with mouse and…

“Carving up movesets and tying specific character abilities to random drops only hurts players who are at the mercy of rng,”

No it doesnt. It hurts ZERO people. ZERO.

The only people who have to deal with that crap are the ones who agree to do it by playing the game modes where its allowed. Ranked and competitive versus…

Bull, INJ2 is a *GREAT* fighter and absolutely none of those things have ruined it in any way. I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of Raiden or Sub being in the game...but that aside the DLC has been fine. Microtransactions are there, but the game isn’t P2W and I’m still playing it without having spent a single extra…

Hypothetically: what if I am? I don’t even plan on owning a 4k display in the near future. Is there a benchmark somewhere for the 1060-1070 series at *just* 1080p?

There is only *ONE* way this might....*just might*....work.

There are a lot of Anime that I think could get a pretty solid Hollywood treatment, but here’s the problem:

We all know they’re gonna try to whitewash this and, not unlike like Ghost in the Shell,“Your Name” is a story *deeply* satured in Japanese culture and…

^Exactly this. I’ll admit there’s a bit of ludonarrative dissonance but it honestly works with her character arc in the game since by the end of it she and the player are 1:1. I remember in the final push of the game when she’s like “COME ON YOU BUGGERS!!! BRING IT!!!” and the smile it brought to my face.

We buy toys, but do we buy them from the larger retail stores? I sometimes swing into a Toy store every once in a while and I’m pretty much always dissapointed by the selection. Most of my stuff I either get online or from a smaller outlet like my local comic shop where they have more niche or obscure stuff.

Yo, nice edit on the headline! Much better!!!!

100% agree....and I hate that your headline spoils it!!!!

All you can do watching that episode is sit at the end of your seat waiting for them to absolutely destroy something so beautiful as they have time and time again and the best you can hope for is it wont be animal fornication related....but instead they actually…

I’m still trying to work my way through Destiny 1 to properly appreciate Destiny 2.....and yeah....its proving difficult to get a team to even run Vault of glass once.

Oh please. Next you’re gonna tell me the swastika was co-opted. /S

I haven’t been to 4chan in a lifetime to be fair, so maybe I’m totally off base now...but a platform like Reddit is different in this regard since there are countless thriving seperate sub communities and something like “the_donald” is an abberation.
People paint 4chan with broader strokes because its entire culture…

We’re at a really fascinating crossroads for the direction of the Sonic franchise right now potentially. Two games in one year that each offer radically different directions for the hedgehog....and depending on which is more successful may make the difference both in how they go forward and who the gatekeepers are.

^Shoutouts to Obsidian for being one of the few developers to give a damn about this. I finally started playing Tyranny the other day and its the first time I can remember since Kotor II where I made a character and thought it could be worth m while to lump all my stats into intelligence modifiers.

....are you expecting me to disagree?

Look, far be it from me to argue *against* showmanship. Some of my favorite players are known more for their personas than gameplay.

That said, end of the day the payer needs to ask themselves: “Am I a competitor, or an entertainer?” Do you want to win the crowd, or the gold? If you can do both great, but what’s…

Your point is fair, and perhaps better framing or phrasing could clarify.

End of the day the competitor’s only real concern is to win within the rule set they are given. They can be a part of the conversation regarding what the rule set should be....but there will always be a disconnect and a divergence on the desires…
