was going to say, video games tend to demand a significant amount of ludonarrtive dissonance.

At least 95% of all video game protagonists are mass murderers.

What an excellent post! I’ve loved the FF franchise since I was a kid, with FF7 being a constant in my life since then, and Barrett’s a character that I’ve appreciated more and more as I’ve grown into an adult (and as I now approach parenthood myself).

Barrett’s parenting seems to be more prominent in the remake, or at least cutscenes made it stand out more. 

I think this administration is going to be full of good and boring people.

Which is pretty much what I want, especially after the last one.

But he is Jewish. So he may not know what its like to a person of color, he damn sure know what racism and bigotry means. 

I cannot expect a white man to ‘know’ what’s it’s like to be a Black person or person of color, just as he shouldn’t expect me to know what it’s like to live a do-as-you-want consequence-free life of white privilege. All that I can ask of anyone regardless of the color of their skin, religious choices, education level…

They never seem to notice the politics of literally every single war game in existence along with dozens of others,* but the second a character can be identified…

I will continue to be amazed until the I’m lowered into my grave that the idea of “maybe the princess can save herself once in a while” absolutely fucking shattered so many adult brains into of millions pieces.

just...just jaw-to-the-floor astounded to this day.

“Not that they endorse anything that I’ve said, of course, but at least they seem more concerned with making good games than with pushing some kind of a social justice agenda, so there is hope.”

In the video, you see the fishermen haul the nearly 300-pound fish off the boat with a tractor when they return to shore.

In a truly functional country this article would prompt some sort of psychiatric hold, for Nathan’s own good.

This was hilarious. Is Shoshana also writing a review?

I feel like this article should have come with a disclaimer.

Roses are Red

Where’s Shoshana’s article?

This is the content that I live for.

Your death will be painful, but it will also be honorable. You will be remembered for your noble sacrifice. RIP.

Just looking at that thing almost makes me gag.
