I’m not quite at your level but I definitely attribute my current ability to fight my way back into a game after a long break to finally getting into SoulsBorne masocore games. It took me a long while to understand what was so fun about Bloodborne for people, but learning how to take a backstep in stride has really

(:

I feel like Riot might be a good test run for unionizing the industry. The workplace problems at Riot are many and manifest in different forms. A united front to strike against all these problems would be better than the top-down approach that’s been reported.

Hoping the S stood for a Stadia port were you?

Well that’s... disappointing.

The glut of post-apocalyptic fiction in pop culture at large and video games in particular has led to a set of beliefs and tropes that have settled into the bones of these stories: A moral nihilism that posits compassion as weakness, that the ends justify the means, that there is a thin line protecting us from them

It’s the lesser-known Oohlookapennysaurus. 

Losers: “haha penis stage”

Me, a man of taste: 

It’s stuff like this that prevents me from entering a competitive environment in any game.

I have, for many years, maintained the truism that fighting with honor creates only a moral obligation to lose. If you cannot sort a route around your opponent’s tactics, that’s on you.  So long as the play was within established

The best kind of PotG: Owning racist shitlords by outsmarting them.

I’m not defending “addictiveness” in and of itself, but it can certainly be applied to fun games, and sometimes I hate when it’s absent.

The Ratchet games were addictive, because guns would level up so quickly and get more powerful. Ratchet games aren’t overly long, 10 to 20 hours, so the addictiveness just made them

This is pretty disrespectful to the countless players who had their characters forced to act in a way contrary to how they’d done things. Particularly LGBTQA players who were blindsided into this.

It’s not a matter of offensive. It’s a matter of respecting players and their approaches. This plot point failed to do

Everything about pokemon makes a lot more sense if you think about the pokedex entries actually being written by 10 year old children

As a collector of game related artwork, this is amazing but totally out of budget. They vary from vendor to vendor, but I recommend Etsy for cheaper options. I’m weak for the n64 paintings

this is taking copyright law to an absurd degree.

The PS Vita headset is the finest non existent headset available.

I was going to say how much I agree with Nerfnow, but then I got interrupted

Another one to add to Jason's kill count. When will it end 😭?

Kirby is so wild. You start off with enemies like Windy Tree and Rude King That Stole Your Cake and then eventually reach THE SOUL MELTER and THE ULTIMATE CHOICE. It’s nuts.
