That looked like it hurt.

I realise this is a simplistic/obvious take, so much so it delayed me getting around to writing this, but I also figured it was worth putting on record anyway, so here it is. Of course this doesn’t apply just to PC games, or even video games, it’s something affecting our daily lives across most industries, but PC…

As long as there are more options than just fucking ponchos. like what WAS the first game’s thing about poncho’s anyways?! like the word “poncho” is fun, but the article of clothing is dumb unless its raining. 

Font size is definitely an issue, but the font type itself is clearly supposed to be a throwback to the 80's dollar store horror novels typeface. See Stranger Things for an easy example.

I feel like tiny text has been an issue since the PS3 era. Except on Nintendo systems, most games seem to have some really small font in the subtitles or item/mission descriptions which drives me nuts. My TV isn’t tiny but I usually cannot read what’s on the screen without having to get up closer.

I’m still amused that they were able to get George Carlin to play Mr. Conductor and narrate stories.

True about the artists but also the only 2 pages we seem to have are Mignolas covers.

Thank you for telling me this exists, I’ll have to check it out

Isn’t “A D&D campaign, but a video game” what a large percentage of game development has been focused on since the beginning of RPGs as a genre?

Reform is the only achievable option. As any system project manager will attest, you never replace a brownfield project wholesale. The correct way to fix the problems in a system like copyright is to break the existing system down into its natural parts - in service of specific objectives - and repair each in-place…

So only 1 short is actually Anime, nice deceiving title

The movie is directed at children. If my kids love it, and they will because Mario, then it’s a winner.

People expecting the next Whiplash or LOTR will be severely disappointed.

When I was reading one of the major battles in Words of Radiance, I thought “Man, a Stormlight Archive musou game would be crazy, make it happen somebody.”

I suspect there’s the underlying and unspoken issue of Sanderson’s very public Mormon faith. I could see a journalist who just doesn’t like fundamentalist Christianity struggling to understand why people are attracted to a guy who tries to embody the most bland and personable aspect of it in his public facing persona.…

It’s because of the way journalism is taught in college-level courses a lot of the time. Who are we studying in these classes? Norman Mailer, Joan Didion, Tom Wolfe, Hunter Thompson — the great longform essayists. But all of them are personality-driven, whether they intended to be or not, who approach social…

I thought Tifa was wearing shorts until over halfway into the game when a cutscene with a more detailed character model was more clearly wearing a skirt.

Beyond that, even within videogames they were sexualized long before FF7. I can think of more than a few PC and Sega/SNES games with sexualized skirts that predate FF7. 

His reaction is just having seen it 10 minutes before, preparing his reaction, and then reacting even harder than that to make sure every rational person on Earth wants to do him grievous injury. 

I play them for the campaigns.
