“Not enough people seem to know this...”

Exactly this. There are a lot of replies here saying (perfectly correctly), “But if you X and Y, then Z wouldn’t happen,” and I think, “But hang on, this is a kids’ game.”

Most of this is legit and I have some more to add, but first -

I wish somebody would make a simpler, more “arcade-y” football game along the lines of Tecmo Super Bowl or some of the earliest Madden games. The realistic simulation is great for those that want that, but I gotta think there’s a lotta people like me that have neither the time nor the will to learn all the intricate…

stanley was great, and really wouldn’t have worked at all without the narration -- the entire game is built around it, mechanically. bastion, i didn’t like as much but i def am an outlier on that 

Speaking as a woman who’s spent years at the other big company in Redmond you’ve heard of: we don’t get to blame Japan for the behavior of American tech bros.

Unfortunately, SEO is God, and it doesn’t allow for nuance in headlines, or sometimes to even tell people what a story is about.

The organization I work for now has about two SEO training sessions a month now and I’m having to write headlines I hate because it searches better than a headline that actually represents…

I got so angry reading this that I went from seeing red, to seeing white, to seeing nothing at all.

The employee.

Oh good. Maybe once we officially reach the point where:

The point of Bridget’s story is she’s afraid of choosing a gender identity because of her complicated past and what it would mean to choose the gender identity her problematic parents assigned her. Goldlewis and Ky assures her that she has the right to choose anyways, and that any choice Bridget makes is valid, as…

True, honestly it’s something I think Guilty Gear has been good about before when you consider Venom is one of the first canonically gay characters in fighting games (maybe in a lot of games) and the only way you’d know it for certain is Faust’s one 1,000 years of pain move where Venom’s reactoin is “Only HE can do…

Yeah. It’s very consistent with Testament in terms of them parsing a set of queer characters in a more... internationally compliant way, I guess?

Bridget was never that important narratively to Guilty Gear’s (albeit nonsensical) story. So I think her having a moment of realization in her arcade mode is a perfect way to move the character forward. Honestly I think this is a fantastic transition (no pun intended) for the character as it does feel like a natural…

Wait are you saying a game probably isn’t enjoyable unless the reviewer specifically uses the word “fun” in the review? Because that’s a really bizarre way to navigate the world.

And even if it was an honest mistake, that still means there isn’t enough diversity at the company if no one caught this before it went live.

“Just to clarify that I don’t support any kind of LGBTQ or anything similar even if ‘FaZe’ does,” he wrote in a now-deleted quote-tweet. “I’m a Muslim.”

Okay, Stephen Ddungu here. Firstly Jeremy, I didn’t know you were going to make it a race issue, I’m quite disappointed to be honest.

Why our my prices different? Is this based on where one’s located? (I live in Southern California)

Or, hear me out, it’s okay to like things that influenced you as a kid and it’s okay to be bummed out when the author is revealed to be a bigot.
