Bolson was still a bit of a sore thumb being the only dude that acted like that in the entire game, but the fact that he never abuducted Link helped. Zelda also has the fairly enlightened views of the Gerudo (who, for banning all men, don’t seem to have a problem with different gender identities if getting dressed…

Is this satire? If not, yikes. 

It’s difficult to say. I can’t imagine intentional demakes like this require a huge amount of processing power to run, but it kind of depends on how it’s optimized.  Did they slim things down to something that would run on the original hardware (or something comparable) or are they just shooting for the old-school…

Some people need a laugh track otherwise they can’t tell where the jokes are. 

I think 3D World is just a matter of timing - Mario Odyssey hit Switch very early, then the port of Mario U, then Mario Maker 2... they have to spread those Mario games out, so I imagine 3D World will actually hit very soon, and then the next thing will be whatever the Tokyo team is cooking up as a follow-up to…

You need to use a /s. It’s very hard to tell that you’re not being stupid right now.

My dad dealt with a lot of racism growing up and while I’ve had an easier time of it, I’ve got my share of problems too. I just get tired of my people getting treated like fragile porcelain by white dudes who want to feel woke. The word savage isn’t gonna hurt us. Institutionalized racism hurts us. Police hurt us.…

Years ago I had a friend say that “savage’ was offensive to her and her fellow indigenous people for many of the reasons Paul outlined above. So I stopped using it (not that it was really a regular part of my vocabulary anyway).

Obligatory.

GTS being phone-bound, unless the games get some kind of in-game access connecting to Home itself(though I suspect we won’t), does bug me a bit.

Then again, Pokemon Go will support transfer to Home eventually. So it makes sense to have the app that will support transfer for pokemons coming from a likely growing list of…

Every time on 360 back in the day I thought it’d be a good idea to use a mic as not everyone would be a rancid arsehole...

My most embarrassing voice chat mistake was thinking that any time i jumped on voice chat would end up in anything but frustration 

Back when Black Ops was out (the first one I think), and I was a teenage idiot, I once got into trash talk in the post game lobby and said to someone “I can’t hear you with your dick in my mouth!” I knew I had misplaced some nouns as soon as it came out and left the lobby.

He’ll be back

If anything, it’s an unwritten rule of battle royale that two individuals might form a temporary alliance to take out a shared threat.

Not just that, but forming temporary alliances in competitive play has been around for about as long as competitive play has been around.

This seems against the spirit of Battle Royale games, especially considering if you go back and watch BR one of the first things people started doing was communicating and forming teams with each other.

That’s not really the “lovecraftian” part of what people consider lovecraftian.

He was super racist, but more importantly, he was the worlds biggest piss-scared-baby. So while his stories had things like awful portrayals of foreign people and cultures, the majority of the themes stemmed from his overall fear of things…
