It is overblown, but it makes me worry too. I doubt it’d ever be as simple as “no more SP games are being made, they’re not as profitable as MP games” but even a more subtle shift towards making MP the primary focus in games would have sad repercussions for me when I go to the Steam store.

One and twenty nine? I like their style.

The large white guy in a kimono definitely won’t stand out.

His Twitter id is @mitchellvii. Every time I see one of his HOT TAKE tweets, I glance at his name and assume he is a huge fan of Final Fantasy VII, and then I just assume he is Ken-sama:

Organized sports has decided (or at least pretended to), that being a bad sport will get you punished, no matter how skilled you are.

“If I wasn’t Jamaican, then why would I wear this hat?”

“Somehow, a new player-created holiday became a story about conflict, betrayal and the disappearance of an entire civilization.”

So, they invented Thanksgiving?

“Peace is boring”

You’re not going to get rubes with an excess of disposable income to give you money with that kind of attitude.

There is no “cure for cancer” and there will never be a “cure for cancer” because cancer is not one enemy to be defeated, it is dozens (if not hundreds) of enemies that each need to be confronted. It’s a catchall term for a whole host of terrible diseases that share some common mechanisms.

For an “American who’s [sic] wife and kids are from Barcelona,” you sure do write like someone who isn’t used at all to the syntax, sentence structure, or subject-verb agreement of English. I wonder if the folks who starred your comment actually read it and found it comprehensible, or if they just skimmed it looking…

Richardson was apparently very disappointed to learn he had to sell the whole team rather than each player individually.

Not just white French people. American whites commenting here have it on good authority that no one in the US knew Blackface was bad until 2007. Also, Blackface is only bad because of minstrel shows. It’s not inherently bad because of white people literally using Black skin as a costume.

I’m commenting here because I’ve nowhere better to say it, but I’d like to see one of these “State of...” articles on the State of Single-player Gaming. So much action is going into multiplayer games - online-only games, MMOs, MOBAs, and loot grinders, while it feels like single-player focused games are withering a…

It’s like I’m seeing double!

The advice-seeker didn’t exactly make his (as you delightfully phrased it) philosophical onanism sound temporary, though. He appeared to have talked himself into a corner: 1) any outcome to an overture besides GREAT SUCCESS! is an infliction of sexual discomfort, and 2) GREAT SUCCESS! is comparatively unlikely, ergo…

“God wipes those who wipe themselves”
- My proverbial ass

The first one, with a few differences, is me basically. Triggeringly so, almost.

They might as well have wiped their proverbial asses with the American flag.

It’s really gross how quickly people here can overlook this asshole’s history. It would be one thing if he was apologetic at all, but he clearly has no idea how his shit contributed to rape culture, or doesn’t care. I don’t buy for a second men like this can change and start to see women as actual people. He deserves…
