But like, doesn’t the global health crisis that’s dominating our lives in every capacity just make everything that much hotter? 

Honestly, I feel like the problem with RPGs as a whole is this huge gaping chasm between JRPGs and Western RPGs and it’s a shame that we feel so anchored to one or the other. Granted, I do feel like the purist version of both offerings really suffer now in the sense that rigid turn-based systems feel shallow from a…

He’s one of the Tekkens for sure.

Mortal Combat is a very good Tekken game.

Pretty sure Tekken invented martial arts... er, I mean martial tekken.

Yeah, it’s weird how a lot of TERFs seem to think that trans or non-binary identities are somehow escape hatches from misogyny and sexism, when in most cases, they’re not only exposed to those but also the harassment of TERFs and other people who specifically target their identities. This notion that “being a trans…

I really wouldn’t be surprised if she or her presence in the field has something to do with it. Whether she knows someone on their board/governing body or it’s just the indirect influence of the current conversation surrounding her, it just seems like it’s hard to ignore a situation like this without acknowledging her…

If it was filmed in the US, at least one genocide happened where they filmed it and we put the guy responsible’s face on our money.

As someone who doesn’t really use their Switch on-the-go, part of me would be really interested in seeing how much power they could fit into a Sega Game Gear ergonomic size in this day and age.

Reality check: the amount of quantifiable effort and strain it takes you to run the epic games launcher is practically nonexistent and your whining way overblows a super minor inconvenience.

The difference between a 30% cut and a 10% cut for developers is the difference between green lighting a next game, hiring more…

Weirdly, I get the feeling that Paradox may actually be doing this for “good reasons” from a business perspective (granted, pretty shitty to eject someone who pitched an idea from a creative perspective) because a lot of the hype surrounding Bloodlines makes it seem like this may be their attempt at transitioning into…

To be real, I think if Microsoft hadn’t kicked off this “power superiority” conversation surrounding hardware with Sony, they wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with.

From a marketing standpoint, leveraging power is always fair game and is a very competent differentiator and competitive approach. With that being said,…

At this point, TenNapel provides his own smear campaigns and if you think this context was a novel smear, chances are you’re terrible too.

Can you park in disabled parking spots without a government-issued placard? This is essentially the same thing. I can’t ask you why you have the placard, but I can report your car for not having documentation it if you’re in the spot without one. This is literally the same concept, except rather than just being an…

I don’t mean to call you out personally for this, but this is a bit of a troublesome trend I’m seeing among my liberal friends and it underscores a pretty recurring criticism that we on the left continue to voice.

Yes, QAnon conspiracy theories are outlandish and totally made to manipulate and control certain types of…

I’m still not really sure I get the sense of urgency because Origami King doesn’t come out until the 17th either and the US review embargo hasn’t been lifted for that game yet, so they’re on very comparable footing in terms of perceived confidence.

I get the strong feeling that both of those games have been taken…

I really wouldn’t be that worried about it because that’s honestly a much earlier review embargo than most companies are going for these days. Anything earlier than the day before (or day of) at this point is a pretty confident move. I’m sure we’ll get almost a whole week of coverage before it actually comes out and I…

I’m TOTALLY messing with you and I’m from California and have only lived on the west coast my entire life. I just thought “Staten Island - Boston” or “Staten Boston” didn’t work as well as “Boston Island” so I pretended like it was a thing. To be real though, from the west-coast perspective, a lot of us mix up various…

We call it “Boston Island” thank-you-very-much

At this point, “doing everything in my power” to get anyone elected has yielded pretty shitty results because it appears that US voters are ideologically rudderless morons that are willing to sacrifice poor and marginalized people to prop up a status quo where economic factors drive social and political systems. With…
