Minorities have been oppressed by British police for at least decades, including my father who repeatedly was stopped and frisked in the 70s for being a brown man in London. I think using American policing as a baseline is setting a seriously low bar. Cops need to be held to a much higher standard than “not murdering…

Well, I’m not American, so good job assuming that, I guess?

Legit question; why isn’t Disco Elysium taken to task by leftist gaming spaces for making you play as a cop? I haven’t played it yet (been meaning to), but why does that game get a pass when games like Overwatch get raked over the coals for having these skins?

TBF, police around the world are used to oppress minorities, political dissidents, and labor movements. This isn’t just a USA thing, it’s everywhere, including in the so-called model democracies in Europe. I agree that getting worked up about cops in fiction is a bit much, but I can guarantee that the cops in your…

Oh man, I had no idea this dropped! I loved the first Butterfly Soup, although likely for a different reason than most of the fandom. While I really appreciated the queerness of the game, I loved how unapologetically Asian it was. The kids speak their native languages with no shame, and are proud of their cultures. I…

Where in my entire comment do I mention the ADL? Fuck the ADL, they suck.

If you can’t educate yourself on the history of Jewish allyship in the struggle for Black Civil Rights, the denouncements by Jewish people internationally of Israel’s apartheid policies, or the anti-Jewish history of white supremacist organizations, then I really don’t know what to say to you.

Per the Digital Foundry analysis, neither the PS5 or XSX versions of Elden Ring hold a consistent 60 fps. If you have a VRR then it might not be an issue, but for my display these versions have annoying micro-stutters. Running the PS4 version on PS5 gives a basically locked 60 fps with only a slight drop in image…

Not only that, it’s sometimes advantageous to download the PS4 version so you can play it off your external storage. Like, I see very little reason to have the PS5 version of Apex Legends on the internal SSD when its a game that I only dip into on occasion nowadays. Better to throw it on the 2 TB HDD I got for peanuts…

Ok, let’s say you’re not just shifting the goal posts because you were called out as factually incorrect. Your contention is what, Kotaku not getting review codes over AV Club is some mark of failure for the former. This is due to blacklisting from Kotaku’s reporting on labor conditions in the games industry. Would…

That comment about Halo 2 really put into stark focus that this debate is being had by literal children. I was there for Halo 2's launch, and the fact that it had a proto-SBMM was a huge selling point for it and Xbox Live as a whole. It was such a breath of fresh air to have matches actually be matches, rather than…

Anytime this sort of stuff comes up, there seems to be a large contingent of people using it to call Game Pass users suckers or something. I think we all know that the price for the service is eventually going up, but for now it’s pretty cheap. If that ever changes, I can just drop the service and go back to buying…

Wait, are people having breakfast, lunch AND brunch? For me, a brunch day is usually a two-meal day; brunch and dinner, maybe with a snack in the afternoon.

Yeah, let’s pay the disingenuous shakedown artist, because we know she’s good for her word!

Women can be racist, y’know.

Yeah this whole article seems to be making some wild insinuations that isn’t remotely true to the facts on the ground. RDR is off of PSNow, and that sucks for subscribers of that service. But the game itself is still available to people who own a copy. It does mean dragging out a PS3, which does suck and reinforces…

He did not. He dropped out of the mayoral race in 2014 because of a cancer diagnosis. He did win his old city council seat in Etobicoke, which is basically a little fiefdom of the Ford family. He almost certainly would have lost the city-wide vote.

In Infinite’s case, I’m all for the controller having the advantage. Halo is the series that basically made controller-based shooters viable, and I think it’s good for the franchise’s legacy, as well as for carving out a niche, as being the one major multiplayer game that balances away from mouse and keyboard at its…

So you might not know this, but Overwatch 2 has custom games with a robust creator and games browser. There are plenty of rooms with folks playing the original Overwatch (6v6, no hero limits, etc). There you go, there’s your OG Overwatch. Have fun.
