I’m gonna treasure this story and its memes like a unicorn, since women in the field of gaming are usually not treated this well on the Internet.

Hello, attorney here chiming in again. You are correct Nathan, if you do not throw in everything in you can - if you do not you are later procluded from bringing it up under a legal theory of “Res Gestae.” The ysstem was created that way in order to prevent someone from suing another party for a particaular matter and…

“Voting: Meh.”

Counterpoint: No, he doesn’t. He’s a genuinely good person who is imperfect, like everyone is, but is actually willing to learn and grow.

You should listen to the podcast, but short version: There’s a big difference between burning down the Red Keep and indiscriminately killing civilians. This would be a whole different conversation if Daenerys had gone straight for Cersei, killing innocents in her quest to kill the woman who usurped the throne and…

Never came close to finishing it. It’s a technical marvel and I loved the first game, but it felt laborious to play. I had a lot more fun with the newest Zelda game, which I was playing simultaneously, and which felt like a much more mature and advanced open world game, ironically. I was also playing a lot of Dark…

I just came back to it yesterday for the first time in a year! Man, this game is an absolute joy. Playing it is joyful. Weirdly, it’s been harder to get back into the swing of remembering that I don’t really have to kill every bokoblin I come across like some vicious murder hobo. The only real incentive to kill is to…

Eh, I don’t really care that much since it’s mostly cosmetic and I’m sure you can get the stats that come with it on other ge-

I remember an E3 event a few years ago where Reggie was sitting a few rows away from me, just playing 3DS like the rest of us schlubs.

BIG IF TBH

Thanks for the responses guys, there’s definitely no excuse for this nonsense then. How could they mess this up so bad? Was it a secondary dev team working on the DLC that missed the memo or something?

You say this as if I’m asking for queer folks to never be touched or suffer harm in games. That the kid gloves should remain on and our stories be precious fluff. I hear variations of this argument a lot, like when I wrote about David Cage’s treatment of woman. That’s certainly not the case; many of the stories I’ve…

the game wasnt even far enough in developmment last time to show more than a title card and they made no secret out of how long it would be till we saw more news. they cant help it if you didnt listen. as for smash, a LOT of people care about smash and we all knew it was coming. it was like the worst kept secret all…

Oh thank god, i was worried this game would come out

I don’t expect everyone reading this to listen to the whole pod but at least read the excerpt before you comment. Chris’s whole point is that if the video game industry had a more transparent atmosphere, fans would be more educated about the realities of development changes and cancelations and so on, and therefore…

Alas, poor Bioware! I knew them of most excellent fancy. They hath borne me in their worlds a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those games that I wandr’ed in I know not how oft. —Where be your games now? Your stories? Your flashes of brilliance that were…

In the pine box my friend!
