honestly? It feels like Microsoft initially used their layout just to thumb their noses at Nintendo. Why not go 1=A, 2=B, 3=x 4=y? Or, make even more sense and go 1=A, 2=B, 3=c 4=D? Why not 3=y and 4=z? They clearly just took Nintendo’s button naming scheme and purposefully swapped it.

The fact that younger gamers…

“We were not trying to hide any loading but actually show good looking assets in close-up.”

...he said as the lighting went black to hide detail.

Why is this NOT called ‘Super Bernie Bros’??

Also? Mitch Mcconnell turtles are goddamn hilarious.

I’m holding out hope for ‘Bravely Tactics’ on Switch...

I fully believe that my last long term relationship ended because we decided to live together in a one bedroom apartment. There was literally nowhere to get away from each other... to add to that, I’m an avid crafter/camper/burner, and he hated mess, so when I commandeered the living room for projects it always…

I was a broke college student when I bought my Playstation in 1998, mainly for the 2D fighting games that eluded the N64 (and sadly I would later come to realize wouldn’t work all that well on the Playstation either). Because I was a dirt broke college kid with barely enough money to buy top ramen, the idea of…

Eh, I’m willing to overlook the clumsiness of the exposition, because if you look at this from the point of view of a writer, they were kind of in a bind and this was the most elegant way out; clearly they needed to find a way for Looking Glass to defect from the police force and become a member of the kavalry, a turn…

The last episode, despite being well-made, didn’t grab me because I feel like the show isn’t about racism (or at least, it hasn’t been a strong part of the show before this episode).

Something similar happened in Seattle in the 1970's- Shelly Bauman was attending the Seattle Bastille Day celebration, when a cannon in the parade shot a beer soaked confetti ball straight into her and she had to have her left leg amputated. She sued the city, and started a disco with money she made in the…

My cellphone ring right out of college was the Super Mario Bros theme, and around the same time I got an entry level job working for a boss that I would later come to realize was a nightmare scenario; Super flaky and also super clingy at the same time, he had me doing event posters and webpages for his hippy dippy new…

It was my understanding that that diner ‘specials’ are actually just dishes made with ingredients that are about to go bad, and need to be moved quickly... so pretty much the opposite of special, in the classical sense.

Don’t forget the original fragrance that started it all, Strangé

maybe that’s because the only media coverage it ever gets involves the .1% of the population who are tech billionaires, instagram models, and obnoxious DJ’s who embody nothing of the event and are pathetic parasites on it’s culture... so not a surprise that it would attract like minded people when that’s all it looks…

Burning Man: A city of 90,000 people, less than .1% of which are Silicon Valley types, Instagram models, or obnoxious DJs... yet they somehow make up 99.99% of all media coverage.

It will be a glorious day when Burning Man is finally considered passé for the nouveau riche.

The one that really blew my mind was people not knowing how to properly wipe their own ass. I believe somewhere on GizMedia there’s a thread about that, but even amongst my own friends it was crazy to find out they had bizarre eccentricities around it; One friend makes a karate chop with his hand, then wraps the…

I know this is common as fuck, but typing is one of mine. I tried taking typing classes many times throughout elementary, middle, & high school, but it never stuck.... I think I just couldn’t trust where my fingers were going without seeing it; As a result I have a weird hybrid method somewhere between actual typing…

I have zero sense of direction, and can only follow a map if I keep spinning it to face the same way I am... I always assumed this is also a part of why I’m terrible at 3D shooting games, because I get completely lost almost instantly and can’t figure out where to go. I have multiple stories where I’ve left a bar…

I’m baffled as to how pizza didn’t end up on top of the list. Even if you don’t like cold pizza (heresy!) heating it in a skillet yields pizza that tastes damn near fresh out the oven. No other fast-food/reheat method comes close.

“harness is a harness... and I have harnassed the harnass to my harnass.”

(in all seriousness, I think, “Gravity is a harness... and I have bound it to my will.” sounds sufficiently cool (and possibly unhinged) and conveys the control aspect of the initial statement using the word “bound” instead of a verb for…
