Look, XBox is the ‘all you can shovel into your giant pie-hole for one low price’ buffet option. It is not the quality option. Except for maybe Forza Horizon (and Flight Sim for some people), all their IPs are old and tired. If you wanted quality games you’d be on Playstation, Switch, or PC (where you can also get…

Final Fantasy I through V are all pretty similar generic fantasy

the best NFS will always be Porsche Unleashed.

It’s their damn job to serve fast food and most of them are getting at least $16 an hour to do it. Cry more.

Oh sure, a Gamestop with strict rules will go real far. Gamestop wants to sell toys to parents, and parents want to make their kids happy and off their backs. *shrug* That’s reality.  You don’t have to work there if you don’t like it.

is society really going to start pushing for resignations over family issues and infidelity?

What if there was a version of D&D where the playable races were just different animal species? Would you attribute their stats to the differences in cultures and ideas of our world? Pick a few animals who share about the same level of sentience, and would you ask why aren’t there dogs who would rather learn to play…

“Gnasher the Bloodletter didn’t like the violence when he was a youngling; he even tried to avoid it, but years of watching his clanmates and being forced to take part, he finally accepted it as how life was supposed to be. Sometimes he would think about what he had done afterwards, and wonder if other orcs felt the…

So, basically, everyone is Human now, except they are in Halloween costumes. An interesting change.

Drow are based on mythology.

Sorry, only white people are allowed to be villains now.

This is just more virtue signalling. There won’t be meaningful change until they publicly admit that the Orcs didn’t form the Black Horde over territorial disputes and straight up admit that they just wanted to continue to eat villagers.

But D&D “races” are actually different species. Is it racist to say that a human is more intelligent than a dog?

This seems like people being afraid of history again. Is it good or bad? I don’t care. I’m not here to argue whether or not Americans are afraid of the word Savage lest they remember that their country is built on blood and burial grounds, just like everyone else’s.

Weirdly in D&D “Races” are actually different races... where as the term Racism is typically used in the real world to refer to other members of the same human race...

All of my liberal friends are guilt-shaming by sharing crap about how everyone must do something to be more inclusive and go black-forward/black only and standing on the sidelines means you stand against “progress”

things like saying “Native American” instead of “Indian”

I actually think American cars have gotten better and have benefited from at least the Japanese manufacturers being amazing in the 90s and early 2000s but stagnating recently. A lot of them are just now moving away from whatever mass produced ancient 3-3.7L v6 they throw into every car. Back in the late 90s, nothing…

Heh. I always assumed it was like the BBB, where you could just buy your way to good ratings, but I guess it’s slightly more nuanced than that (although I’m guessing JD power can still make the data say whatever the company that pays them the most wants it to say).

I always assumed GM owned JD Power.
