“A last name is like a cow: milk it for all it’s worth. Especially if it’s famous! Not a lot of famous cows, but you know what I mean.” - Sir Michael Lombardi

You can beg and pleat all you want but it will never stop.

Fucking thank you.

You “ethics in games journalism” dipshits literally have no idea what actual journalism is, do you? To equate reporting a developing story with stalking is offensively stupid.

Terrible news. Wishing Martin a speedy and full recovery.

So if you worked at a small company and someone stole your work, pretended it was their own, and sold it to a giant company, that would be OK with you?

The quality of the review is irrelevant to the fact that he plagiarized. Let alone the fact that “bland” is utterly subjective.

Were multi-million combos possible in THPS1? Took me forever to crack 1.4 mil on an entire Warehouse run, the original didn’t have manuals or anything. Think the best combo I cracked was in the quarter-mil neighborhood in Chicago.

This is such an astoundingly stupid take.

No, it’s not. Schreir talks to sources and reports news, he’s a journalist. It’s not a magical title, it’s a accurate job description.

Maybe you’re just really good at platformers? So while by YOUR standards a game might not be difficult, by the standards of 90+% of people who aren’t particularly talented at platformers it might be very difficult? That’s not hard for me to understand, but maybe I’m better at empathy than platforming...

Every article about Hollow Knight 1) reinforces my belief that I would not enjoy Hollow Knight at all and 2) makes me feel bad about being a person who will never enjoy Hollow Knight because of how lavishly praised it is.

I don’t think that monopoly part is really true when Reddit and ResetEra exist...

Just make sure your expectations are calibrated accordingly. This is a game about eight different stories. This is not the World of Ruin, nor is it some epic plot twist that ties all eight characters together, nor does it change the nature of the game. Nor does it explain why Ophilia the noble cleric is helping…

Also, about the whole, “make sure our elections are secure from undue outside influence” bit... well, that’s not going so well. But no, keep perpetuating the lie that covering a broad interference campaign is somehow crowding out more worthy coverage. I guess no legitimate news sources were covering the potential of a…

The fact that you’re equating the primary process for the Democratic Party with a foreign adversary interfering in a federal election tells me that “this Russia stuff” was highly effectual. You’re literally propagating their talking points as you deny that their efforts had any import.

I’m thinking of devoting myself to my Jewish faith for the first time in my life. I still don’t believe in God or anything, I just want to identify as something other than white.

Make that two!

You’re spreading false information, not “correcting a misconception.” I hope it’s an honest mistake but it’s easily researched.

Actually, THAT’S not true. Like, at all. I bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 in March 2017 from Amazon for $374. Same exact card (SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Black edition) lists for $779.99 and up today. Branching out, all 1070s are $700+ on Amazon, all from 3rd parties (ie, added shipping). NewEgg shows them all $800+, unless…
