Pointless story: when I was a kid in the early 90s, my Aunt got me a video game for...something, probably Hanukkah. I had never heard of this game, so I had to do the whole fake enthusiasm bit so she wouldn’t feel bad. Cracked it open that night with basement-floor expectations to find an 80+ page manual, which to a…

That’s still a lootbox, they’re just making you jump through extra hoops. Whether you pay directly for it or buy in-game currency and use that to buy it, if you’re paying real money and turning that into a random chance at something, that’s a lootbox. The option to grind is irrelevant if the option to pay is there.…

Thanks all, you guys rock. Leaning towards trying Fornite first, always forget that’s on PC! Appreciate the thoughts.

Someone please talk me out of getting this. Practically none of it sounds appealing to me except for hiding in the bathroom and hoping that everyone else dies. Yet hype and FOMO are inspiring thoughts like, “You have that gift card so it will basically be free, why not see what the fuss is about?”

I would have probably liked Persona 5 a lot more if I played for 10-20 hours and just dropped it, so if you go in with that expectation I say give it a try. It oozes style and the soundtrack is fantastic. But it is LOOOOONG. And some of the anime tropes did not sit well with me at all (frankly, they seriously dampened…

Wow, looked that up and apparently you’re right. They do NOT portray Futaba as someone who’s a year younger than the rest of the group, she comes across as a child (I know they’re all children, but she acts demonstrably less mature and emotionally developed than the others). I actually really liked her character and…

Ugh, I forgot they hired Archie Bunker’s ghost to write those gay stereotype characters too. Painfully unnecessary.

Well, I do have ambivalent, almost contradictory feelings about high school, so Persona 5 captured it perfectly!

Haha, that’s me! I poured a lot of hours into the early beta, dropped off for a long time, then tried to dip back in a few weeks ago. Barely got past reopening all of my kegs. Now I have no idea what’s going on!

He should’ve listened to Madonna.

Obviously, the MLBPA is colluding with the DNC to run a child sex slave ring out of MLB clubhouses. I mean, “biweekly carpet cleaning” is clearly pederast code. Pizza is a “meal” and we all know the sinister implications of pizza parties. And torn pants need no further clarification.

We don’t really want it there either...

Dumbass White Dudes’ Total Fucking Failure (DWDTFF)

You, sir, are no Owen Daniels. Nor CJ Fiedorowicz.

Bortles 2015 championship team checking in! Had Allen Robinson on that squad too. WHO SAID THE JAGS AREN’T WINNERS??!

Do you have a source? Here’s mine.

That makes sense, it can be difficult for a lot of people to interpret probabilities. Fortunately/unfortunately, as a former small stakes poker player I am intimately familiar with the notion that 20% probabilities come through all the fucking time (usually when I flopped a set against a draw).

Man I really hope the rumors of Yakuza 0 coming to PC are true... great list!

ALttP? Pfft. I was talking about this OG:
