My ‘93 Honda’s battery died (3yo opened a door and left it open when it was in the garage). It weighs 1499 lbs, so I pushed it towards a slight slope and then push started it on my own. Didn’t even break a sweat.

Mmmm, taste that glorious all-digital future.

Giving the reliability and transitory ‘status’ of ‘games as a service’ that publishers like Ubisoft has shown us, I believe I speak for every gamer when I say, “Fuck right off,” in response to Ubisoft’s newest asinine idea.

the New Nightmare route sounds a lot like the Scream 3 route

Go the New Nightmare route: The production of a new Scream movie is interrupted by an actual Ghostface and the actors have to figure out who it is. You can even have a running gag about Neve refusing to help unless she gets a proper paycheck.

I did enjoy the RE2 remake very much, but in my opinion, the Dead Space remake is the best survival horror game I’ve ever played. 

Now more than ever shows like this need to make seasons self contained with satisfying endings.

I *hate* Fromsoft games. Like, all of them, yes, even Elden Ring (which even from an art design / graphical standpoint I find massively overrated).

He replaces his cosmic self with an illusion occasionally and pops out for a sandwich.

Oh and also “why don’t you parent your children” when the article pretty strongly lays out that that’s exactly what the parents have been doing.

How great is it that every single person commenting about how this is the consumer’s fault knows that video games are designed specifically to be addictive so you will spend more time and money on them.

This. The fact that some parenting failures might have been involved does not change the fact that these are extremely predatory practices using specifically engineered means to maximize financial gains at the expense of well-being of people, some of which are particularly prone to such self-destructive behaviors. I…

And ultimately this goes back to personal responsibility, which is at the heart of any addiction.

I know folks keep saying to parent their kids, but it goes beyond that even. These games are intentionally designed to be psychologically manipulative. It’s how they get the money and play time that they do.

One aspect of e-sports that is always an issue: If the underlying game/IP goes out of vogue and/or is killed by devs, your entire system crumbles in a (Relative) flash.
