it looks so awesome!!! definitely excited. It’ll be my first pokemon game!

oh geez, well, i guess i gotta watch that.

lol that’s my friend! He’s really awesome, really good solid person, really great at running LARPs, used to play with him wayyyy back when we were in college.

I dunno I gotta side with Squadaloo. I still get very sick from VR and my friend who doesn’t get sick from good quality VR does from the low quality stuff (like Labo VR) and I know a few other people who’ve tried to use more low quality stuff like that and it makes them kinda dizzy.

I get how bad things can get passed on or seemingly ok things get made and then fail, but like, are the people playtesting this stuff just...NOT getting sick? how can you have a product that makes people phyiscally ill?

lol I love these posts. This stuff is like...the one remaining glimmer of enjoyment of the internet. Just having fun with the silly nonsense we love.

lol I’m sure it is but that doesn’t change the hilarity of it. I mean....I WISH I was a homo demon - I feel like that word combo literally coined a term for my latent life goal.

lol true to both points.

My reactions thought by thought:
- this game looks really cool

At the end of the video Tim said he’s gonna stand on the street in front of the Levi store and give away some Mario Maker trinkets he got. Judging from his video personality it’s 100% possible this is for real and 100% possible this is a joke.

I think this whole discussion brings back the conversation all the way around to the very essence of advertising. The ease of the internet highlights just how disgusting and vile advertising is and it also allows advertising to become even more insidious than we thought possible. Could you imagine if tobacco companies…

wait....I’m actually gonna be right near time square at noon tomorrow lol. Thanks Tim, now I need to decide whether or not to be a weirdo.

Really hope this leads to unionization. I hope unions are in the background talking to folks.

re: fantasy novels, I hope you’re both reading NK Jemisin!!!

I gave up a long time ago on the privacy thing. There’s no way to do it and be an active member of society in a western country. I need a phone for work, I need social media or at least messaging services to keep in contact with friends, all media is online,…

that is definitely true, I guess I just never took that as me not being the hero. Since most of the time those characters are floating around the raid in some way it always made sense plot-wise. I always pictured them as technically accompanying the players in the raids and fights but just not being there cuz it’s…

I feel the total opposite lol. I think MMOs makes players the center of attention and the hero wayyyy too often. It takes away from a deeper more varied role playing experience where each player has a part in the story instead of everyone being the hero. The best part about MMOs is playing them with other people but…

It is weird as hell and dumb, but also, Nintendo never does fucking sales so I’m definitely gonna take advantage. I always buy physical AAA games so I can resell if I don’t want to replay or don’t like them (I’ve already resold 4 Nintendo AAA games for the same price I got them) but I’m reserving this voucher system…

This cinematic was one of my favorites in years. It makes me wanna play again. Thrall is one of the greatest heroes in fantasy, period. His character arc and all he’s accomplished is so amazing. I feel like him leaving WoW in the first place was a mistake, he is ultimately the main protagonist of all warcraft games.

“So Thrall is, lorewise, one of the most powerful and gifted shaman to have ever existed - why is he sharpening tools and farming the old fashioned way?”

She is the epitome of hero.
