No it doesn’t. Fat Tony is a caricature of how media portrays Italian-Americans as mobsters, not a dig at Italian-Americans themselves.

I love the Simpsons but I still have to say that the racism surrounding Apu was always there, it’s just that nowadays we’re finally calling this type of stuff out more. You don’t get a free pass just because it’s from a time that people cared less.

One, I didn’t say I was offended.

Maybe if your show’s been on so long that one of your first characters is now a modern version of Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, you should just make something new.

unfortunately it was the games developer 6 months after the fact

“Simply being aware that they are available for purchase reduces the immersion in the world and takes away from the challenge of building your personal army and your fortresses.”

I’d argue that these microtransactions are shameful. They’re low-impact, sure, but going Box + Paid DLC + Microtransactions is just one too many monetization schemes for my taste.

Hrm.

Fire Emblem Conquest /Birthright. The family you choose in the game is analogue to Cecilia choosing the people who are important in her life.

Aside from manly guys and Life in Aggro (they are so long running that I don’t really understand them most of the time)

I’d watch this movie over TLJ.

Which makes total sense, cause it would interfere with the canon tale of how Palpatine fought a battle on Endor, on the ground and was ultimately defeated by Princess Leia and someone named “PlosionMaster69" with a rocket launcher.

I recall something about not wanting people running around as pink Darth Vader for canonical reasons.

Didn’t they previously say they didn’t do the cosmetic route because it wasn’t canon? Guess the desire to nickel and dime their customers was too great.

We’ve heard it before. Promises of cosmetic only, then suddenly weapons are showing up.

What the fuck Eric? How do you spend your whole life as the son of a tabloid-seeking publicity hound and never learn to smile in a STAGED FUCKING PHOTO without looking like a complete fucking moron?

I just read the detailed reviews on Steam. Why is this so hard on you? Do you just spend your money nilly willy on every game like a spoiled brat?
