I know those sort of measures aren’t very popular with the gaming press and all, but I’m all for some sort of system that bricks products if they’re bought through scalpers. Require retail or first party sales the first year or so and brick anything bought through Ebay or third-party sellers the first time they plug…

Since the ‘80's Nintendo has always practiced purposely screwing up supplies. They were known during the NES days of overselling pre-orders and only fulfilling a portion of them to create artificial scarcity.

Like, a good chunk of it could very well just be underestimating their appeal and sales, but another part of…

I mean, you’re onto something, but I’ve literally not bought systems because I couldn’t find them locally. For me it was the Switch and the nearly 2 year long period of being sold out in my local area. Sure, I think it’s fair to say that if I wanted it I’d have found a way, but I was as good as a guaranteed sale that…

This has always been so frustrating that no one has been able to handle it. I’m very surprised that no company has bothered, probably because they’re making money anyway, to find a way to curb bad behavior around these pre-orders. It makes someone like me who has the disposable income for a PS5 just... not buy it…

Did L’il Dicky do something extra lately that I didn’t catch? I know that in hindsight some of his songs were problematic to say the least (and that’s even before he decided to pollute himself with Chris Brown), but wasn’t sure if there was some more misconduct I missed.

I’m skeptical that Destiny is larger than Warframe. We could quibble over quality but that’s neither here nor there. It’s hard to quantify given that Warframe uses procedurally generated maps for most missions, but just the open-world segments of Warframe easily have as much play area as multiple Destiny 2 patrol…

My sympathies. The first cat the gf adopted when we had moved in together is similar in a lot of ways. He just... doesn’t really care for her, and on top of that it’s a bit of a dagger in her heart as well that he follows me around the house like a second dog. Thankfully she got her loving child with our feral cat we…

I read that headline a lot differently. After my brain did the “great and cool” thing (which my mind for some reason attributes to ‘Teen Girl Squad’ even though I know that was grood) it got less inappropriate. 

I don’t think I can undersell how excellent the music was in this quest as well. Most of Warframe’s music is ambient, mood music that you can leave on or turn off in favor of your own grinding soundtrack. But this quest had Keith Power’s “This Is What You Are” as its central soundpiece and it brought everything…

I’m cynical as hell, but this sounds like the kind of way to get guns into the hands of kids sympathetic enough to far-right causes and just depressed enough to make violence a real option. 

One of the leaders of BLM in an area once said they identified as a Marxist.

I wish the CCP would just own its ghoulishness already. The entire world knows you mowed down a college student with a tank, we watched it on the evening news. Stop trying to pretend that you’re what you’re not.

Not enough? But I thought these were knights in brilliant shining armor that we should all thank for taking their above-education-and-qualifications salary, employment protections, and comfortable pensions that put their lives on the line every single day to protect citizens!

I’m hoping to end up with a sound bite of Biden threatening to clock Spencer in the jaw if he comes near him with that Hitler Youth haircut. 

Good on her for not bowing to the pressure.

Melania’s presser says that they attempted to bring in some of Jackie’s vision back to the rose garden...

I’m interested but not excited. It’ll be interesting to see how they adapt the Court of Owls for this story, because I think they’re missing the entire point by not having Batman involved (although I think we’re all expecting some Batman unlockable in the 3rd act or a story twist where he’s clearly not dead).

Yo, I’ll support Dwayne Johnson til the day I die or he ruins decades of built up good will, but did someone forget to tell him that was the take they were recording on? 

Emancipation is a hard hurdle to jump over even if her mother is the top ghoul of the nation. I wish her luck.

It looks gorgeous, but this honestly isn’t even the first Chinese-developed Souls game that’s given me the same vibes. There are numerous “Souls-like” games that end up being vapid exercises in how pretty the game can be and run out of content within a handful of hours.
