uh, im sure nobody asked but i think there is a lot of charm in that blocky ass n64 mario compared to the smoother/rounder one lol. and that metal mario hat theme still cranks something fierce.

CoD is not comparable to a sim like F1 though. Is it probable that career soldiers would be good at ARMA, just because they know the ins and outs of being one? Probably.

Ouya 2.0, you’re too kind... I’d say even the Ouya had more value.

Joe Biden is going to be just as bad 

I’m used to this administration regularly baffling me and crying out “what the fuck?!” in confusion and anger, but seriously, what in the actual fuck? If this was sun-downing Trump describing why Baron is good at cyber I would get it, but is this lady’s brain turning to pudding just by proximity to Trump?

So it is. Thanks for the correction.

This is China.

I don’t get it. What exactly is sexy about a younger Ana in a Ghillie suit?

Didnt even go as far as taking a camera into a public washroom like that other dipshit streamer and seems to have gotten a bigger punishment. Seems microsoft at least has a shred of decency above twitch. So far at least.

That Goku and Vegeta...   just sucked the joy out of the character designs.  I like the original works just not fan art.  

Yeah, those powerpuff people... 

Guy sounds like a massive child. What an absolute idiot.

it wasn’t a “tough hearthstone esports moment”, it was a political nightmare. Based on the quote in the article here (don’t know if there was more to the apology left unquoted), it doesn’t even sound like he’s addressing what it was actually about.

This is a completely misrepresentative article.

They don’t care about Hong Kong because they care about human rights, they’re just extremely xenophobic and racist and mad that the Chinese market is becoming more important to gaming companies - financially and in terms of (bad in this case) decision-making - than their middle-aged white asses.

Taiwan and China have a...tense relationship. It can be easily assumed that Mitsubishi Taiwan can’t abide sponsoring a company that tacitly enforces the party line of Taiwan’s political enemy.

I love having watched the Conservative Gamer youtube sphere having done a complete 180 on their opinions about politics in games.

Reactionary Gamers: “Get your politics out of my video games!”
Also Reactionary Gamers: *blowing a bubble pipe sitting next to their parent’s fireplace* “The intricate webbing of corporate…

I still don’t understand what the “correct” response was for Blizzard. They had a statement in their contract saying no inflammatory comments. Regardless of your stance, support for either side of the ongoing conflict in Hong Kong is in fact inflammatory.

I just hope the announcements and games are good.Blizzard is far from unique in being tied to China, So it seems a bit odd to put so much blame on them while ignoring the fact pretty much every big gaming company would do the same in their shoes.

Its a Bethesda game. What did they expect would happen?
