are any of those games $60? I dont think NMS is a non-game, and I definitely wasn't expecting the best game ever. I even like survival games, from The Long Dark to Don't Starve. But the creators behind NMS lied. They completely lied, and whenever I see some take on this game that mitigates their blame, or says "it's…

You think Wicked City is better than Akira?

Yes, he accepted it, but Price was visibly disappointed when Angela asks for the "lateral move" to risk management. Still, just because I think Price is corrupting Angela doesn't mean that I think he is some singularly bad-intentioned character. The Devil has a code too. He definitely actually respects Angela, far…

I'm not denying that rape could be related to the commodification of women and sex, but I'm inclined to think it has less to do with the patriarchy and is more just a feature of how fucked up people are. Sex and power are hard-coded into the pleasure centers of animals.

I don't think people are being fair to Metzger here. If you're confident enough to go to the UCB, to announce stuff on the internet, go to the police. "I'm not ready to go to the police" is ok, but when you're simultaneously starting a massive internet shaming campaign, I don't know. Even if the victim is a victim,…

Come on, Price is giving her whatever she wants the same way the devil gives you whatever you want. He's overtly trying to corrupt her. He gave a whole speech about how the whole economy is a con, and the US needs con-men like him. He's a mentor like Al Pacino in the Devil's Advocate is a mentor.

Eh, Portal 2 is what? 6, maybe 8 hours long? That's one of the best games ever. Outside was great, and it's 2 hours.

as a walking simulator, Stanley Parable is top notch

With a team of only 15, they couldve sold it for $30, saved their reputation, and still made a ton of money. I saw this was coming a mile out. This was Spore all over again, but with an indie team who was even less likely to deliver the giant experience people were anticipating. Gamers are more likely to fall in love…

I do think it's true to Darlene though. She is not nearly as careful as Elliot. She's the impulsive, dangerous one. Though maybe that's Mr. Robot.

Fly is maybe my favorite BB episode. That or 4 days out.

exactly. People don't have to be right about everything to have a legitimate complaint, or more importantly, an understandable one.

now i feel bad. sorry.

I've come full circle with the angsty undergrad alienation, and now think it's probably mostly right. Elliot is particularly heavy handed, but the show also plays with that. All the stuff about people distracting themselves with nonsense, never questioning the nature of their political system or economy? Pretty sure…

it's not about being novel, it's about how people delude themselves, troll

what do you mean by STEM master race? That they're good at stuff? Was Walter White's hyper-competence annoying?

yeah, at some point next episode the FBI will probably try to find Mobley again, and it'll be that poor bike messenger

Darlene even talks about the fantasy in the subway with cisco. Maybe she didnt mastermind it, but you can half-subconsciously put yourself in position to do the wrong thing. A spouse accidentally cheats after getting drunk at a bar with the person at work they have a crush on. They might be shocked that it actually…

yeah, he's probably not gonna make it to that coffee shop

I took that part as comedy. It was so on the nose, I thought it was meant to be funny. Maybe i'm too in love with this show.
