Now that’s a fun thought experiment: Given how in love they are with hearing themselves talk/type, how many Randians/Objectivists/Libertarians would be willing to shut the fuck up about it forever in exchange for being able to shoot bees out of their hands?

Until someone makes the game “Go Anywhere And Do Whatever The Fuck You Want”, there have to be guardrails to both keep players inside of the rendered area and move a narrative forward, in case you have a play style that’s not “just dicking around lol”.

Niko!

In every game I’ve ever played that has it, “weapon durability” just feels like busywork I’m not getting paid for. I just want to see and do cool stuff, man. It’s like if every time you clicked on a cool BMX trick video, you had to watch them check the fit of their pads and helmet, grease the chain, check and air the…

Oh, I love mainline GT (really failed to like GT Sport - too online-focused, not enough weird cars). I was just taking umbrage at the assertion that “Gran Turismo is a LAME little-kid video game for STUPID BABIES, but the racing simulator I enjoy is a refined pastime for genteel gentlemen of good taste who know what R…

Gran Turismo is a game, and iRacing is a fancy game. You can play Gran Turismo with a regular controller or a fancy controller, you have to play iRacing with the fancy controller.

I had an every-option-box-ticked white with two-tone interior Mazdaspeed6 that I adored, but they were cars that absolutely would not tolerate neglect or abuse, which is different from hard use. That entire generation of Mazdas also rusted with some enthusiasm here in the Kingdom Of Road Salt. Kid who’d had it before…

Same here - it makes narrative sense, as well as aligning more with their (non NG+) powersets. She wants to save her country and her father. He’s a papa bear who is going to save his daughter and eliminate the chances of it happening again. I’m in the middle of Addermire on a Loud ‘N’ Lethal run right now. Can’t ever…

Sort of: With few scattered outliers, older equivalents to new models are cheaper, lighter, and have adequate power. New versions will have better brakes, safety features, much more weight because of those, and the electronic nannies reined in to commute-appropriate-levels 99% of the time.

Do it! Dishonored 2 felt much looser to me in terms of solving an environment that is essentially a puzzle, and more forgiving of small mistakes. It reminded me of BOtW in some ways, the “Whatever combination of abilities gets you over *here* is correct” experimenting.

I really enjoyed Dishonored 2 (I actually stopped playing the first when the writing finally convinced me this miserable piece-of-shit world probably shouldn’t be saved), but I can very easily see it being “not your thing”. Every FPS besides Dishonored and Bioshock I’ve played felt like an awful slog, but Call Of…

I’d love nothing more than for the world to improve so much that where I stand right now becomes “middling” or even “conservative”. 

Every single stupid “hOw To GeT rIcH lIkE i DiD” article has some kind of “GOTCHA!”, like “It’s easy! You just have to eliminate unnecessary expenses: I was able to buy a house in NYC at 25 by living at the luxury hotel my family owns! Sacrifice pays off!” or “It’s easy! You just need a side hustle: I paid cash for…

Do you know that one day, you will die, and that all of this will have been pissing into the wind? No matter what you create, or what legacy you leave, you won’t know because you’re still dead.

Man, I loved this one back in the day, though I won’t argue that it’s translation was better than “Huh, okay yeah sure”. Just the way it played through, meeting characters you knew or had played as, but different in this run.

I’ll tell this story any chance I get: Me and my wife were at the Harley dealer because it’s next to the fancier Costco, and they had a big parking lot event. We were checking out the Sportster 48, and the salesman sidles over and in about a minute and a half has asked me if I’m looking to buy it for my wife or my…

By all accounts, Ben Carson is a very gifted brain surgeon. He also has to wear slip-ons if his wife isn’t around when he’s getting ready because he is among the stupidest human beings to have ever walked the earth.

Not a single day goes by that I don’t pour a little out for my homies PBMaxx and ChocoBliss. Those were the greatest junk food inventions of all time, and it’s been like 25 years.

The trick to the Doritos tacos is twofold:
