I don’t personally get around to playing as many games now as I once did, but one of the games I did play this year was one of the most fun, challenging, and well-designed games I’ve ever played and it isn’t on this list at all: MO: Astray. It even had a pretty cool story.

Of course they are. There isn’t anything uniquely controversial here.

It doesn’t exactly draw the line at the nipple. Only around 50% of nipples seem to be problematic.

I haven’t read as many comics this decade as in the past, but I did just recently start reading the MTMTE comics and was surprised how good they really were. 

The Olivia James Nancy run has certainly been noteworthy and fun, but I don’t think I’d put it on a best list. 

No Clowes or Ware either but it’s just a list.

Always good to see that American media creators are learning from Japanese creators in the 1990s. Maybe one day most media will be created by people that love it rather than sycophants.

I don’t have much to say about Death Stranding spoilers but I will say that Death Stranding contains spoilers for most 90s anime in the post-Tokyo subway sarin attack period.

Fortunately I live in a place where trends like this don’t really take root (and therefor don’t really know what is being discussed here), but I dig the art.

It doesn’t exactly mean that. A not-insignificant number of people likely saw Logan after it was in theaters. I’m one of them.

That Jesus is a Communist.

It’s interesting how generational human trends are. I suppose media is a bit more complex than other things due to new technologies and consumption patterns, but it’s still a bit shocking to see people so convinced by marketing and public discourse that something new has been a game-changer.

I disagree. The type of racism contained in Lovecraft’s work is not problematic to adapt if it is taken for the Victorian Romanticism that it is. In fact, it can be easily re-routed directly into the themes of madness and ignorance that is of thematic importance in most of his stories.

The issue isn’t the amount of content. It is how poorly designed the game is.

I suppose I can empathize with the argument that this impacts his life more than if he was just playing the game but I can’t help feeling like there is no entitlement here to anything for a person in this situation.

This is a key point. Not sure why you were gray and without stars.

You haven’t really given us enough information to answer your question. 

Huh? No. It used to be a completely different hobby.

“Mill decks are oppressive because they make it so you lose based purely on the composition of your deck before a match even begins, and not on the quality of your play during an actual match.”

I disagree. Depleting your opponents deck was designed as a primary strategy in the Dragon Ball Z CCG and it worked very well.
