I don’t disagree with the opinions. The only thing I’m calling out is how these issues completely dominate the review and the author seems to be digging deep for some of them to the point where it seems like it’s less about the content of the game and more about their own insecurities and hangups

Opinions are subjective, but saying that doesn't fix this review.

I feel like this review is 50% about the game and 50% about you.

I haven’t seen evidence of these Oreos actually selling for that much. If you actually sort by completed listings, the most recent sale was $5.72. All the completed ones with a high price tag also have a “best offer accepted” tag, which means they could have gone for anything.

gotta hit that minimum character count, so the ads won’t be right on top of each other.

I love how this article also reads like an “eBay for Dummies” article. Even my grandparents don’t need this much explanation on eBay. 

It was counter-productive in Victoria II, to the point where in almost all gameplay situations you were better off abolishing it, and it sounds like that’ll be the case here again as well.

*Really* interested in the mechanical effects in-game. Slavery in reality wasn’t just evil, it was counterproductive - it tanks worker productivity, discourages innovation (why make a more efficient process, when you can just throw more slaves at the problem?), and pits free workers against slave labor. And that’s…

I hate to post another “ as a black guy” post. But yes, do it, put it in there and let people see the reality(or virtual reality) that were the horrors of slavery. This could help build a real dialogue about discussing it because there are people in power who would like to see it thrown under the rug of time. I’d like…

It’s not necessarily EA’s fault. There are many third-party solutions for sanitizing text, many of which claim that they have done the hard work of trying to track down all the bad words in all the languages so you don’t have to! That sounds attractive to use. Who wants to go around and collect a bunch of colorful…

The Halcyon Days of “YOUR MOM’S BUTT has died of dysentery” are long gone.

The issue becomes the fact that he is (or at least was at the time, not sure if it has been suspended) a licensed individual, who has to adhere to additional scrutiny from the SEC. That’s where the trading on behalf of other people, and manipulating stocks could really come back to bite him, and why the company was…

Because

He should probably just say “Plunkett” and try something else.

That is plunked up. But typical of motherplunken EA. Plunk those guys.

Honestly, Minaj’s dumbass tweet reads less like “actual anti-vax dipshittery” and more like “desperately trying to distract from the news that her husband just pled guilty to failing to register as a sex offender and is facing up to a decade behind bars”

We need more things directly making fun of the utter stupidity of ignorant anti-vax fear mongering.

If destructible pots/boxes exist, they MUST be destroyed, even if one is already maxed out on gold/ammo/whatever. It is the law. 

I’m just going to observe this and move on: Nate the Hate helped spark all those Switch Pro rumors earlier this year that turned out to be nothing but wishful speculation with zero evidence and zero credibility.

As with all Nintendo speculation, I’ll believe it when I see it. Lots of big jumps in logic on this one - a controller application, which could be literally anything, suddenly means N64 on NSO?
