Fuck, I knew my graphics card was underpowered, but even my i7-3770K from 2012 doesn’t cut it?

The remaster of Skies is among my favorite Gamecube games. It blows my mind that it doesn’t get mentioned as much considering the frothing cult fanbase that a lot of Dreamcast joints attain. It’s like playing a really great, breezy Saturday morning cartoon that you only realized was an anime years later.

I think the creepiness is kind of the point? I mean, what’s worse: squicking some people out with goofball infantilization, or something like the Baby One More Time video that literally begins with a creepshot up a bunch of school girl’s skirts?

Ever since AGDQ this past year, I’ve had a wicked addiction to Tetris: The Grandmaster 2 on MAME. Once you get past the perception that its just too hard, the sped up gameplay loop is perfect. My favorite moment in Tetris is getting deep in the zone and just barely keeping up with the speed of the game. The…

Using a transgender person’s pre-transition name. Look, there’s no reason you should take my word for this. Here’s a relevant article from a transgender writer explaining why it’s a bad thing to do. http://fusion.net/story/144324/w…

I know you’re being piled on right now, but listen to what we’re saying. Even if you’re not meaning anything harmful by it, even if you’re talking about celebrities with very public lives, it’s really not good to make a habit of deadnaming transgender people. I know it’s no fun when it seems like people are policing…

No, you’re really not being respectful. You’re making ASSUMPTIONS about the lives of transgender people and asserting them as fact, while misgendering and dead naming them. Take the mistake gracefully, apologize and fuck off.

Nicotine is addictive, yes. It’s also the thing in cigarettes that carries a good feeling buzz, cuts appetite, etc. Vaping gets you that without the smoke, the smell, and the social stigma.

All the people you knew didn’t have their entire public image and identity carefully curated by the Disney corporation until they were old enough to smoke and drink legally.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve said this, but Cyrus released an album post-Disney. She gave interviews hinting at being progressive and pro-weed. No one cared. No one listened to that album. It was only after she began to act out on social media and cut her hair that people began to take notice. And Bangerz,…

Markiplier puts on a fun show, but my favorite reaction so far has gotta be:

I resent the fact that opening a foolish retail venture isn’t a thing more people could afford. A bunch of weird little shop is way better than everybody developing a fucking app.

I like a good Brie or Blue but fuck if Cheese Whiz isn’t a modern miracle. Eating it feels like spitting in God’s face. You’re tasting a creation of a human race that has conquered fucking space travel and you think, “This came out of a spray can! Anything is possible!”

Remember when user-generated content was gonna be the future?

I feel like I should preface this link with an apology, but I’m not sure where to start.

I think the last AAA game I pirated was Skyrim back in 2011, and then uninstalled not long after since it was just unplayable on my busted old laptop. Not an excuse, it was just a weird time in my life when spending what little money I did earn on weed took a priority over video games. It wasn’t long after that I…

“I’m just offering some honest criticism.”

Yea, this last issue was Game of Thrones rough.

Pinker’s argument certainly poked holes in the Freakonomics hypothesis but also admits there were multiple factor contributing the crime rate drop and that the issue is more complicated than any one explanation. That said, we are talking about a cognitive scientist providing a response to an economist/journalist team…

Hunter x Hunter takes about a 3rd of its run to become something more than an average solve-the-puzzle fighting shonen show, but by the end it earns its place among the all time greats.
