Yes, this 17%/2% is a false equivalency between parametric response and purposive sample.

I thought this part of the game was *wild*. I kept seeing those stupid bat shaped plastic charges and as much as I tried to avoid them, kept walking into them. I felt ashamed for all the times I chuckled at how stupid the enemies in Arkham were for not noticing my bombs placed directly in front of them. 

This comes in the same quarter that MS reported that they’re up 27% over last year, earned $22 million in profit over expenditures, and became a $3 trillion dollar company, the most profitable in the world. They also reported that the Xbox division was up and doing financially well, with subscriptions up 13% and…

Hey Zack, while it’s still (relatively) early in the year, can you rearrange this to be chronological rather than alphabetical? I think we’re in for a huge amount of layoffs this year and it may get very difficult to see which layoffs are new when one is added in to the list. 

I’m ready for more Elden Ring, but with Like a Dragon 8, Suicide Squad, and Persona 3 Remake all launching around the first week of Feb, I don’t think it’ll see any playtime from me until later in the year. 

It’s extremely likely that Tears of the Kingdom is the best selling game of the year. The last sales update that Avalanche released was in May, that Hogwarts Legacy had sold 15 million copies. In September, Nintendo announced that in a similar time frame they had sold 19.5 million copies. I think Nintendo is likely at…

I can’t understand the frustration here over the cost ($6/$10 mismatch aside). Overwatch 2 just got over their KPop thing where they were charging $70 for 5 skins that *players don’t even see* ($100 purchased individually). $20-$30 for a skin seems industry standard these days. Diablo IV has a new $50 pack with one…

I played them all in Japanese, except for Seven, so in my mind Kiryu makes sense to speak Japanese only and Ichiban speaks in English. Infinite Wealth will probably break my brain. 

So we know that they’re short, but do we know *how* short? The videos of the Rio mission were like 15 minutes, so I assume this is around 45 mins of gameplay for $15? 

Out of curiosity, did you ever eat that hat?

I know that no one will see this necropost, but this comment has lived in my brain for a decade and I at least had to write it out.

I hope Josh Brown is ready for his 6/10 TotK score to suddenly again become the subject of whining on social media. 

I was level 7 when I started playing last night, just after the prologue, with a friend who is level 57 and wanted to play (I’ve mostly ignored the game since SFVI and FFXVI also came out in June). In the very first dungeon I’ve done in this game, we ran into this guy. He killed me in one hit, but my buddy tanked him…

If you’re going to make a profit of it a copyrighted quote (since it was published), in a way that is not fair use (parody, public domain), then paying for it is a way to ensure that they have no right to sue you over the usage. In most cases, it’s a way to avoid a suit on the back end, and there’s monetary benefit…

It’s a free to play game that is only in paid early access at the moment. When the free part launches they’ll probably advertise it. 

I guess this means mounts basically aren’t in the game for me since I’ve never replayed a Diablo game. Once around is more than enough for me. 

The ghost of Jason Schreier is upset at your usage of “bombastic”

I was hardstuck in Gold every season since launch (except Season 1 where I get the Broze 5 glitch; won over 100 games and my stats say I only play for 28 mins) but with this adjustment I got slingshot to Plat 1. I find that I am much more effective a support at this level since there’s much tighter grouping and…

Uh, I’ll take a hundred thumbs up Kamalas in a Snap match over someone in OW2 saying, “we lost cuz u kys u pos eat waf n die” any day of the week

Sad to see it go, but I got the full three years out of the deal and I was honestly surprised they let it go on as long as it did. Even $180 a year is still insane compared to just the games I would have bought day one otherwise.
