It truly does. All that bringing in more experiences can do is make gaming better as a whole: new styles, new ideas, new stories, and so on. Black people in particular tend to face stronger problems in society, so we shouldn’t take the focus away from them when that’s what’s being discussed, but it’s also absolutely…

Taco Bell used to be almost a weekly go-to for me, but since they gutted their menu I honestly haven’t been back. Nothing has texture anymore. Bleh.

Ehhh, I’d argue that the DLCs weren’t crucial. They’re certainly welcome and provide more context to the game’s events (and especially the supporting cast!), but I felt like they mostly just expanded on what we already knew about the characters.

Completely agree, but I’ve played all the DLC except for Ardyn’s. I played at launch and then played the DLC, and I watched Kingsglaive and the anime. Kingsglaive is neat, but the details of how Insomnia fell don’t really impact XV itself; just the fact that it fell does. It’s a “whoa, it would be cool to see what…

Eh, perhaps? I trust Yoshi-P even if I’m not super into the medieval stuff, but I’m curious about how much Nomura’s involvement was the issue with XV. After playing Tabata’s other game (Type-0), it seems like frustrating vagueness and half-realized ideas are part of his works, especially with how fully-realized Final…

I’ve used it when my PS4 freezes up, but that’s about it. Same problem there, though, the labels are TINY.

NO GEESE ALLOWED

I literally came here to say something super similar. I need to actually listen to SWH’s soundtrack more because I loved it when I played it!

This makes me interested to watch it, honestly. I just wish Lovesick Girls appealed to me more; it feels a lot more like what’s generically popular music today rather than the vibe BLACKPINK had in their other music.

Sure, but they’re hiding behind Catholicism to defend Barrett’s views. I feel like “she isn’t even Catholic” will do even less than “the majority of Catholics don’t even agree with her,” though the people who are fans of her will likely refuse to listen to anything even mildly critical of her.

The article is very clearly about people who erase a character’s flaws and harmful actions and how excusing straight-up bigotry from villains/complex characters is something that happens across fandom. It’s not shaming people for liking a character.

You made it crystal-fucking-clear that you’re talking about the coddling and the erasure of a character’s harmful acts and character traits, not liking a character or finding them fascinating holy shit. The amount of blatant misreading is ridiculous. I’m sorry people are being such assholes.

Kotaku itself has literally used “I’m a simple man.” Nobody had problems with it then. Hell, it’s even a meme. It’s really, really not weird.

The issue isn’t not knowing about non-binary people or the terms they use. The issue is that people are harassing this user because they said a phrase that’s pretty common; they’re not being asked “what’s an enby?”, but instead received a 250+ word comment about how it made no sense to use that phrasing because this…

I mean, D. Walker wasn’t asking about what it meant. They wrote around 265 words demanding to know why it was said and why killercow_ld would use one word instead of another. Plus, that sort of question is often used to shut people up; we see it when gay people ask for gay characters or for people not to use slurs…

Plus, like... it’s so so so so so common to have things that have nothing to do with gaming come up when playing a game or when discussing them. Not even just “I’m a simple man/woman,” which I doubt anyone would bat an eyelash at, but mentions of significant others, of family members, of something a game reminds them…

I thought that modern batteries/electronics stop the power from going to it once it’s at 100%? Most stuff I’ve seen in the last few years has said that it’s okay to leave electronics on their chargers nowadays because the tech is smart enough to not just constantly try to charge it once it hits full.

They’re just repeating the same talking points they made and claiming that the situation is different because buying the games separately isn’t done through Nintendo now. lmao. They’re using theoretical pricing and ignoring the work that actually went into changing the games (new textures, new controls, etc.; didn’t…

Every time I think that gaming might be getting better, I remember the puddles controversy. jfc.

I’m justifying the prices based off of the reality of the situation for consumers (until the game was released).
