This is not the annual “star citizen is expensive” article. It’s the quarterly “star citizen is a scam and the creators belong in jail” article. Get your facts straight. Also, I have a bridge for you, send me a PM.

I haven’t really followed this whole saga outside of a few articles here and there, but from what I gather, the trailers they released appear to, if we give them the benefit of the doubt, been aspirational for what they hoped the game could maybe be one day, rather than, you know, what a trailer actually should be,…

It’s like a self parody.

Yes, but you don’t, for example, see Super Mario in Schindler’s List or Miley Cyrus reenacting the latest TikTok trend on Law & Order. It’s the lack of any sort of tact as much as anything else that bothers me.

There’s something mildly disturbing about the Fortnite-ification of the American Military jerkfest that is COD. The game references real life events, conflicts where innocent people lost their lives. Seems to be a cognitive dissonance in my opinion to mix that with hip cartoon characters and pop divas with cute pink…

I’m always impressed with how swift and harsh the legal system is when it comes to petty bullshit like this, while a corp can commit wage theft to the tune of billions and call it a clerical error.

It’s difficult. FF16 isn’t a failure, but it is an indicator of something of which Square should take take heed. The fact that the Japanese fanbase is so ambivalent is worrisome because, believe it or not, overseas consumers buy Final Fantasy games for much the same reasons that Japanese consumers do. The criticisms…

That’s funny, because the second I started to hear from senior development staff of the game dismissing traditional RPG elements as important to the series I knew there was going to be blowback from fans.

Welcome to Biden’s America where anyone can just customize their genitals. The woke left has gone too far. Bunch of biological half-orcs unfairly competing against githyankis. It’s a travesty.

Agreed. He’s a weasel, not a true believer.

He does not believe it.  At Stanford, Hawley studied under the esteemed historian David M. Kennedy. Trust me, he knows better. 

Exactly! Sadly, here in Missouri, or in the part pronounced Missou-rah (aka the farms and Ozarks), there are a lot of people who do believe it. That’s who he tweeted for.

Juneteenth celebrates the final end of American slavery, when the Union army finally liberated the slaves in the most remote region of Texas following the Civil War. I personally consider it a worthy holiday, celebrating Emancipation in the United States, probably the most important single thing to happen since the…

He doesn’t believe it.  He’s pandering for clout.

Fuck, imagine actually tweeting that. Worse, imagine believing that and then tweeting it.

It was commemorated by the few. Those who received the message. Then the children of those who received the message. It grew organically from there.

Of course there’s a very big problem with this mindset. You can indeed sell gatcha and battle passes forever, but you might also sell none of it and end in a financial hole

I have good news for you! Nothing better than a controller while sitting on the couch at 3am with a baby that won’t sleep unless it’s lying on top of you.

I didn’t know what to expect after I had my first kid, but I’ll say that I still don’t like mobile games and I’d rather play nothing at all then replace the games I like with phone games.
