...it just may finally be time, in the words of Dwayne Hicks, to call game over, man.

I gotta share this story. Last night at work I witnessed overwhelming racism:

I was on lunch and it was shift change mid-blizzard (Ontario’s having some interesting weather rn). One of the two cashiers went on break. The only cashier on was a young Black girl. So this older female customer goes to her line and actually

Counterpoint: we are so conditioned by games not allowing us to do things that are possible in the real world, that it is immensely helpful to have clear signposting as to what things we are allowed to interact with. How many games give you an axe and surround you with indestructible trees/barrels/doors/houses? More

Game Devs explaining basic Game Design to people complaining about said design is my fetish.

There’s also the fact that some visual cue are so ingrained into gamer mind that it’s hard to change things up.

There was a game (forgot which one) that experimented with coloring their explosive barrel green to match with the visual style of the game. During playtesting, they quickly found out that either they were

Yea I dont blame them. Maybe they could add an option to turn down the help aids but I’m thankful for them. Until we can break every single thing in a game, its worth pointing out which things we can. Especially since if you have a 3rd person view or something its not as easy to notice details you would in first

Now make skins similar to those hard rubber LJN Wrestling Superstars toys from the 80's. Complete with utter lack of movement and realistic paint rub off as the match progresses.

Title promises bloopers, we get 1 sort of blooper and a bunch of unrelated instagram posts. Sheesh. 

With “allies” like this, who needs enemies?

Another example of the following:

Valium and Oxycontin makes one a transphobe in the same way that Ambien makes one a racist.

Man, the world-building in “The Force Awakens” was such total ass.

Well. I kind of liked the episode and thought Barsanti’s take was fine.

These settlements usually do not require a receipt from that far back, it’s based more on an honor system. And how would they validate a receipt from Circuit City or the original Tiger Direct even if you had one?

Yep, not even worth the time to try to remember what TV I bought in that timeframe. How do they even verify it? Do they think everyone will have a receipt for a TV they bought 25 years ago?

I would welcome a reworking of Sympathy for the Devil’s lyrics to include Star Wars references, but I don’t have time or energy to do it myself.

Doing a CTRL F for mythosaur and getting 0 hits is probably a sign somebody else should be doing the star wars content.

Oh damn, are you saying that a TV show known for mixing episodic and serialized narratives that is only 3 episodes into its current season didn’t answer all of your questions about the plot and character arcs of this season? That’s so weird, surely no other TV show has ever done that. I swear to god, no one on the

and (until now) Star Wars has generally maintained that there are Good Guys and Bad Guys

Considering the major unresolved thread of the show is why, exactly, the Imperial remnants wanted Grogu, this was 100% about putting that train back on track. And it frankly seems like groundwork to set up the whole Snoke / Palpatine stuff from the sequel trilogy, since it was infamously… uh, underexplained.
