I love this show but damn, as a biracial guy attending a private liberal arts college, this hits soooo close to home. Like i’m asian/white but there are moments with Sam’s character where it gets way too real.

It’s saying something when Valve is somehow worse than Nintendo when it comes to making decisions that are totally devoid of sense.

Someone hasn’t read Splatoon’s backstory- these monsters drove the octarians into squalor in pointless wars over resources, and kidnap salmon young for corporate purposes. Don’t trust the squids.

But the issue to me is that there is a difference between cultures and individuals. I’m Japanese-American; some of my family is grinding every day, some of my family is slacking. I agree, humanity isn’t a gray sludge- but that extends to the personal level. American culture is built around the ideal of pulling…

It’s more the usage of the word ‘honor,’ than anything else- it’s a strange word to use regarding people just doing a job they’re paid for, and the usage of it seems very tied into certain misperceptions of asians. But even if it was another word, it’s weird to suggest traits like being a hard worker or caring about…

Uh, there is an approximately 0% chance he gathered 12 million. It’s 50/50 on whether he got a check for 12$, whited out the decimal, then wrote in a bunch of zeros and commas, or didn’t even get a check for 12 cents and is currently lying.

No, it’s just really weird and vaguely racist feeling.

I’m terrified- she looks and sounds like the white girlfriend in Get Out, post-reveal.

Unfortunate, but understandable. Nintendo is probably gonna drop the Virtual Console for Switch at E3 and the Classic is just going to be competing with themselves. It’s a much better investment for Nintendo to push Switches- every Switch they sell gives them a market of 5-6 years to sell new software, but a Classic…

Idk, I replayed KOTOR a couple years ago and the combat system had not aged well. It was a struggle to get through- I wouldn’t mind being able to enjoy the gameplay in a remake.

I feel like the west’s former champions of the RPG have finally been dethroned. Bethesda and Bioware used to be entirely unmatched at what they did best- Bethedsda with making interactive open worlds and Bioware with making large-scale cinematic storytelling. Witcher 3 killed them on both.

End of the day, white folks are always gonna think the deck is stacked against them if they see a single black person doing better. It’s like how white folks consistently rate black bosses as less competent than themselves and white bosses as more competent. They can’t conceive the idea a black person might be…

What really impresses me about white people who talk about ‘fixing’ education for black kids is that they essentially take everything that makes white, suburban schools successful and argue poor black schools do the opposite. The idiocy is truly spectacular.

This is a hot take, but I don’t consider Planescape: Torment to be a particularly good videogame. (This is someone who only played it for the first time two months ago). I get that it used to be the standard, but old-school CRPGS are borderline unplayable. Combat is boring, pretty much pausing to select a character…

He’a considered to be one of the best counterpick characters in the game. Zero has a video about him. Most top tier characters are either a. Light b. Have trouble killing or c. (in the case of shiek) both. There are a few borderline un-winnable matchups for bowser, so you almost certainly have to dual main him, but a…

Lol that’s why you climb the trees to hide

I agree that it has been insufficient, but my point is less about the quality then about whether the characters were present. Moonlight’s characters beat pretty much everyone else, but again, imagine if they appeared ten years ago. I’m saying that POC LGBT people, by not being represented in media, have faced less…

I love the Wire but Omar and Kima weren’t really the leads of the show, plus it was on HBO and (as much I hate to admit it) never got good ratings. But I think Omar especially is a great example of what more representation could have done- that character changed a lot of perceptions. Imagine if we’d had that type of…

Part of what irritates me is how much the LGBT movement of the last decade left POC’s behind- LGBT representation in media exploded, but it was almost exclusively white. Will and Grace debuted in ‘98- when will there be POC-majority shows starring LGBT characters? Imagine if Moonlight had come out the same year as…
