Convinced your significant other that you are a big Robert Browning fan?

Zelda isn’t that strange of a name, not like it was invented out of whole cloth like some others. If people ask, could say that you’re just a huge F. Scott Fitzgerald fan. The Great Gatsby just really spoke to you, you know?

His run at AGDQ 2018 was really entertaining, nice to see him setting the new record.

Valiant is the “American” team that I ended up deciding to back, so happy to see them move into fourth place in the rankings, as of the end of last night’s matches. Just watched the VODs for the games and was certainly worth watching.

I adapted it from a Cook’s Illustrated recipe titled “Rich and Creamy Cheesecake” and a Kraft recipe for “Cookie Butter Cheesecake.”

The link to the basic batter is broken, at least as of 12:47 pm EST. I still like making individual cheesecakes sous vide in 8 (?) oz Mason jars. Some recipes turn out better than others (cinnamon Biscoff was great, chocolate mint was a little grainy), but they are still way better than just cooking it normally in…

New stuff added to the game in the basic loot boxes.

Yeah, it seemed like a strange thing to get into a fit about. IIRC, the article in question cited the new Pharah skin as like some bastion of Egyptian cultural representation. Really, the one with the hieroglyphics plastered on it and the asp stuck on her head? If you want to have a conversation about cultural…

I was happy to see that, as of the last time I checked, that article only had about six comments and they were all some flavor of “this is a bad and/or stupid take, why did you write an article about this of all things?”

Curious if this will affect them getting amiibo exclusives moving forward. Toys’R’Us and Target always had the worst experiences, either with camping out or trying to place online pre-orders. Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and for the most part GameStop have competent online presences that generally facilitated easy…

Ah, thanks for clarifying further. When I looked it up originally, it just gave Artoria. Which, to be fair, most of the figures are of her. Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saber_(Fate/stay_night)

Fate is absolutely huge in the scale figure community. For the longest time I didn’t know what “Saber” was (for those who don’t know, it’s a character from this series), I thought it just referred to figures that had swords.

Polygon had a hot take opinion article about how the skin dramatically missed the mark: “All in all, the design seems to really miss what makes D.Va, well, D.Va.” Their takeaway was that gothic lolita is a Japanese thing, not South Korean, therefore Blizzard thinks all Asians are the same or that all Asians are…

I kind of have the opposite problem, honestly. The ratio of games I own and have played relative to the games that I have actually beaten must be astronomical. I at least start most of the games I buy, if not put at least 20-30 hours (or drastically more in some cases) into, but then I just get sidetracked and start…

I like FFX, but just going to drop this here.

I remember reading about some canon radio play (?) that continues the story after FFX-2’s 100% ending and it being batshit, like, way beyond normal Square Enix levels. I can’t even remember if it had a happy ending or not; not because I literally don’t remember, but because it was so unclear as to what was happening.

I heard about these on Twitter and thought they were a joke. Hope those are prototypes, because they look like bootlegs.

A lot of them are available on Youtube if you know the name of the scene in question. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

So now I feel more comfortable waiting for the Switch version, I suppose.

Kind of spoilers, but in one of the heart-to-heart scenes, one of the player characters tells another to “die in a fire.” How is this game not great?
