I don’t care how the audience defines it. I’m explaining what heckling is. If it’s not during the act, it’s not heckling. If I walked up to a comedian on the sidewalk and said he was a stupid piece of shit because of who he married, that’s not heckling. It’s objectively not. For it to be heckling, it needs to be…

“I’m not here to victim blame, but I’m gonna do it regardless. Anyway here’s Wonderwall.”

No, this is about rampant toxicity in gamer culture. I get where you’re coming from, but it doesn’t really solve anything to try and point to one group, especially when the game had these problems from jump haha.

My issue with that example is hecklers are inherently responding to a part of the entertainer’s act or otherwise responding to their body of work. If people were ripping on him for his commentary style then so be it, that comes part and parcel with the job. People harassing you over aspects of your private life that…

Given that they have what amounts to dirt on him in this situation, yes. They hold the power in this dynamic, unless things shift away from that; from the reactions, people aren’t going to let it go easily, and when your job requires you to interact with the public, negative public perception like this is a…

How does this NOT constitute bullying and harassment? I’d love to know, especially since you’re the one who should have no problem explaining his position.

It’s almost as if different people can enjoy different games in different ways. Shocking.

The angriest I’ve ever been at this game was being held hostage in comp by a 4-man premade. We had a Roadhog, Ana, 76, Zenyatta, and D.Va on defense in King’s Row so I thought “Okay, balanced comp, I’ll run Junkrat so we have some AoE and area denial, plus an answer to Tracer if they’re running her.” Game starts, I…

I’ve re-read this and I realize I misinterpreted but it’s even more ridiculous to make the actual assertion you just did. It takes way more time and effort to make a fan game in the hopes it gets taken down so you can remake it with original assets, especially since in cases that aren’t nearly or entirely completed…

Oh, man, I think you’re onto something. All the signs were there. It’s not like Nintendo is the biggest first-party developer on the planet, and has much better ways to use their resources for advertisement than contracting someone to develop a fake fan game, get that person to stay quiet about it, get their legal…

Look, I don’t really care about the meta in comp, I’m a de facto Mercy main and I’ve accepted that as my role in life at this point. I’ll ask people if we need something glaring but generally I take an “if it works, sure” approach.

If nothing else, this article further cements my belief that even as he hands over power to the next president, whenever that may be, he will still be bragging about his electoral college win.

If I’m shooting people, I’m not healing. That’s acceptable maybe 5% of the time, tops. If I’m feeling the pressure to get kills of my own, my team is failing at their roles. It’s that simple, that cut and dry. It’s one thing if your team needs some extra low-risk DPS (opening up with your teammates against a Mei as…

Chills, the whole time. This is already the most emotional track in the game, and here you come with this. More, please.

This comment deserves a medal for most misguided on the site. If you can play DPS at all, you should be able to play at LEAST one of Mercy, Zenyatta, or Lucio. Mercy doesn’t need to aim her heals, does the highest HPS in the game, has a solid escape, and her ult is the easiest to use (are two or more people dead? if…

I’m curious what developer insight led you to this conclusion, anything I’ve seen of it implied spiritual successor, not glib send-up.

Yeah, I mean I’d be wrong in saying that some of the voice work hasn’t taken me out of it entirely in a couple spots. There’s a section early on where you can respond ‘emotionally’ to a colonist telling you the first thing he learned coming out of cryo was that his brother had died, and when Ryder said “Aw, I’m so…

My point was that a story-centric game that involved exploration as a theme handled the ‘exploration’ part better than a game literally devoted to it and nothing else. I’m not dumping on NMS, I don’t even really bear it any ill will, I just personally feel like Andromeda fulfills “space explorer” much better as a…

You can tell me ‘don’t’ and I’ll tell you I didn’t, I explicitly stated there were genuine shortcomings people are right in pointing out. Attaching your own definition to a term doesn’t mean you get to call me out for using it correctly. You have problems with the game, I have problems with the game, but I’m assuming…

I’m not going to be that guy who calls everyone who dislikes this game a “hater”, because I feel like that shuts down discourse and anyone can see the game has legitimate flaws, but frankly I feel like a lot of this is still residual fury over ME3, and we can argue for days about whether or not that’s justified 5 god…
