This isnt unique to games.  This is the modern US corporate mentality.  Corp Execs take no responsibility for anything.  Its a bunch of rich people in a mutual admiration society.  We let so many companies just become huge, there isnt really that much competition.  Everyonce in a while something happens that outrages…

Fuck him.  He had great stand up in the 90s and early 2000s.  Chappelle Show was fun, then he pulled a hissy fit that resulted in the cast and crew having to find new work (if he was unhappy he could have force Comedy Central to make changes).  Big fucking baby.  All he cares about is Dave.

You can play zelda 1, 2, LA, ooa, oos, minishcap, four swords (the portable one not the gc one), oot, mm, phantom hourglass, spirit tracks, link between worlds, and that other stupid multiplayer one on 3ds, So 14 out of 18. But yeah. Its dumb. It is so stupid that the Switch Online doesnt include gb/gb games. I dont…

It was conceived as a gamecube game, it got delayed to make it a wii launch game.  Same as Botw.  

a lot of nintendo games start that way conceptually. Mario Galaxy 2 was going to be a Mario Galaxy Plus Edition, and they just kept making new levels.  Nintendo doesnt really do much DLC, pokemon is gamefreak, kingdom battle was ubi.  Mario Kart....they needed something, it was the only title selling for them on…

Its also moronic to imply that people cannot understand a culture not their own.  Even if they dont, its about tone and intent.  People need to learn to empathize with others.  Trying to understand a culture not your own is important.  Thinking you can speak for another culture not your own is another thing entirely.  

Well “leftist” is a meaningless term.  Liberals are on the left of the political spectrum to the extent that we use that right left terminology.  While Im not going to give rich white people a pass, rich people are not good at standing in solidarity with marginalized populations in general.  Most problems come down to…

Tesla is a fraud.

I have 2 out of 3 consoles, but i got my switch in 2018.  Im not competing for any series x or s.  I lucked out on a ps5 queue from PS direct in March 2021, all while working from home, i would jump in a queue and keep working just paid off one day.  It is terrible that people are still having to resort to that.  I…

A lot of this is also a long term fruition of US tax policy.  Tax policy allowed capital to depress wages for decades.  US wages since 78 have been stagnant when adjusted for inflation.  Even now, the gain since 78 is pathetic for all but the top 1%.  But look at us productivity increases since 78.  We have basically…

the problem with a mid cycle upgrade is by that time...tech has advanced and prices come down on certain components...that doesnt seem likely any time soon. I think we are looking at a prolonged console cycle because of the supply difficulties. Sony is falling behind ps4 sales, but only because of supply, they are…

If Sony is planning a competitor/response to Gamespass...having destiny on their service...helps i guess.

UC3's story was changed while underway. TCutter was supposed to go with drake towards the end, before the character gets hurt and chloe head back to England. Then the voice actor got a role in the Hobbit.  Id love to see some stuff leak about the story for uc3 prior to that change.  Same as with UC4, Alan Tyudack (i…

Well it was their second time with the big open worldish portion.  They have clearly been trying to figure the exploration part out.  Im a fan of the TR trilogy as well.  I lean towards UC, but TR is up there for me (platformers, with some climbing, shooting, mercenaries, hidden treasures...pretty much my jam).

UC2 is the best uncharted.  UC2, LL, UC4, UC3, UC1.  Never played golden abyss.  I love UC, playing the demo for it is what sold me on ps3 over 360, but uc4 felt like a solid close, really did.  But LL sold me.  Ill play through these games with Chloe as the lead, let her have a few.

The right wing troll army is now getting direction both from us and foreign actors. Its is up on everything. From mysogynists here, racists on The Root, major game sites are just littered with people who attack diversity at any turn. Go read Bannon’s statement (or just a summary) the far right figured out how to…

Couple of things. Climate change is likely going to cause massive migrations. The crop failures in the middle east are what led to the Arab Spring, which in turn had a lot to do with the cause of they Syrian Civil War/Cluster Fuck. A lot of climate scientists attribute the failure to warming patterns attributable to…

America is only stable pop wise for another 10-15 years.  Climate change is also a big, big variable.  Africa i have less faith in.  They are growing at a ridiculous rate, and they wont be able to feed themselves.  Also, there are a lot of geographic problems in various countries.  Nigeria is going to end up in a war…

The should have put this down as quickly as possible.  How the fuck have none of the Congressmen been kicked out of congress over their parts.  In just under a year the GOP will take the house and close off the investigation and cut funding to DoJ so they cannot pursue legal recourse.

Tienanmen Square was nonviolent on the protesters side. This wasnt a protest. This was insurrection. This was a coup attempt. Men in tactical gear with zip ties and firearms entered the capital building. They flew the Confederate Flag in the Capitol building. Every single one of the insurrectionists, organizers, and…
