Prey. The 2006 one, not the 2017 one, that protagonist was an indigenous man, a Cherokee from Oklahoma. Also there’s Never Alone (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa), a charming story-based side-scroller actually produced with Inupiaq people and narrated by an elder telling the story in their language, protagonist of that is a little I…

We are living in YTC 0079.

I love this, but I genuinely can’t think of an extant set of game mechanics that would map really well onto what the Dora Milaje are really about. Teamwork HAS to be an important part of the core combat, because that’s what being in the Dora Milaje is, they are not personal powerhouses but their superior technique and…

Fortnite characters are basically action figures anyway, neat looking things for you to buy, collect and show off. The only real rule is that they all have to look right using the same gameplay animations so their animation rigs and body shapes need to be within a very small range of sizes.

So the decade+ long clamor to get more Metroid Prime is not a thing? My post was mostly a joke but honestly, taking the definitive 3D Metroid and “improving it” by flattening it out feels like an unneeded jab. We’ve spent a lot of time and labor remaking one of your old favorites! But we fixed it’s deepest flaw -…

Why would you make a 3D Metroid into a 2D Metroid, when 2D Metroidvanias are everywhere and I’m sitting here begging for someone to make more 3-D Metroid?

Tesla’s philosophy is to put absolutely all controls on the wheel and the touchscreen, so when they (prematurely and irresponsibly) move to full automation they can just junk the column and reconfigure the screen. They already build a left and right side passenger dash, so when they start rolling them out with no…

So long as people live in one suburb and work in another and there’s no safe and comfortable cycle route between them, this won’t help anyone. Better to spend the money on improving cycle infrastructure and increasing housing density near workplaces. There are plenty of people who would dump a car for an e-bike with…

Yes, that’s exactly what I said. Speculating on houses deprives people of affordable houses, that’s a direct harm. Trading NFTs isn’t directly harmful because no one lives or dies on the price of rare Pepes. But the MECHANISM of trading NFTs, the blockchain, IS harmful. You wrote an angry comment to tell me how stupid…

Except cash exists to be fungible. The fact that any given dollar is equal in value to any other dollar is an intrinsic part of the system. It’s more like stock or deeds to land, each one has to be valued individually, but those things have value because holding them gives you the backing of the law and state when you…

It does? Every time speculating harms people who aren’t party to the transaction it gets brought up somewhere, maybe not always in the same publication.

Anyone ever tell him that the banjo is african?

That’s like 62% of his body mass right there.

It’s not even the casino, he’s suing the deck of cards.

Did you play Liberation? The way they used Aveline’s persona-swapping in that game was underused and I wish they’d done more with it.

Miko is the mirror universe version of Arlo.

If a sports car had been the #1 selling vehicle in the country since 1982 we might be having that conversation. But that’s not what happened. We’re a country with millions upon millions of full-size pickup trucks and analyzing why is a useful thing for a website about cars to do.

They need to change that one again, because it had MiiVerse integration. They need to find a third thing to do with the Tingle Tuner.

This is triggering a midlife crisis in me. We all have no chance to survive, so we must all make our time. We cannot say that all our days are belong to us.

Stadia would be great if I could play my Steam library on it, but the fact that they want to be yet another parallel gaming ecosystem in a world that already has too many of those is a great reason to reject a potentially great technology. And I suppose they had no choice, the last bunch that tried to make cloud…
