I was a little bit fearful you were gonna post the horrible Game Theory video MatPat did on how Phoenix Wright is a criminal, even though he obviously never played past Case 1-4 and the center point of his argument is contradicted by the footage used for said video.

Why were they forced to take it down? Insulting a brutal dictator is perfectly

Don’t buy anything. Stand up for workers’ rights and refuse to take part in the capitalistic orgy that sees workers unable to even take so much as a bathroom break to make order quotas.

Skip Prime Day. Skip scab deals.

Skip Prime Day. Skip scab deals.

Never understood the mentality of siding with a giant, rich corporation whose executive gets paid obscene amounts of money over people just trying to put food on their table.

If your employer openly advertises that it’s going to work you harder, it should probably pay you higher wages.

Don’t forget the price markup to make 50% seem enticing

I might snag free games from Twitch Prime, the logic being that they already have my money for Prime, the work for making those games available is already done, so there’s no benefit to Amazon for doing so.

Yep, this is why I use camelcamelcamel.  Their history graph helps show you when they pull some BS like somebody mentioned below, raising the price a few days before so they can “discount” it on Monday.

Also, Planescape: Torment is the closest you will get to a philosophy course in videogame form.

I see no reason why video games can’t make people question their beliefs. I grew up binging JRPGs, games known for their plotlines, scripts, characterization, etc. Given that perspective of gaming (Rather than say, confining myself to Mario Kart or Tetris) it became immediately obvious to me that video games were…

I wrote a long paper in college about video games being, potentially at least, a uniquely powerful tool for developing and challenging ideology. Specifically about the Witcher 3, because it excels at revealing the player’s perspective and assumptions, and because I was playing it at the time and was too lazy to like,…

tbf, Gita can only write about the people that respond to her for input.

But fortunately that’s what the comments sections are for. Do you have any examples of a video game moving you politically to the right that you’d like to share?

And, I mean, are you suggesting that “recognizing that Iraqis are people” and…

That’s because it’s an article about people improving as human beings and “I played a game and got more racist” is the opposite of that.

It is interesting how people tend to reject conservative bias as they grow into adults and start thinking for themselves, isn’t it?

Kinda sad that the only endings for Mass Effect 3 were 2 genocides and a “rape the universe” scenario.

Growing up a closeted homosexual (was constantly in denial) in a very religious and conservative environment, I would say that it was the first Assassin’s Creed that made me really start to question my “christian” beliefs...then Bioshock Infinite turned me against the American dream...yeah video games have turned my…

Sim City, a game I love dearly, is an unfortunate shill for tax cutting as an ideology. It has taken a lot of real world experience and research to unseat the impression it initially placed in me about the effectiveness of tax cuts as effective economic stimuli.

I like the Wolfenstein games for reinforcing notions on how best to deal with Nazis and those who would cater to them.

Everyone can stop cosplaying now. Gollum and Smaug in the mo cap suits wins cosplaying forever
