The gameplay for this wasn’t super engaging, but the big hype for it was always supposed to be the fact that they brought R.A. Salvador in to write some sort of elaborate and unique setting for it from the ground up. Which was okay at first, leaning on the idea of fey and history/legend retelling itself through…

Definitely not Matt’s robot handwriting but... like I doubt the artist would have crammed the words that close to one another if it wasn’t just a stencil of a sample Matt brought in? Maybe something his ex wrote to him in an angry breakup letter?

...Biden’s digital footprint still significantly dwarfs Trump’s...

This might get me in trouble, but I need to say this: I like XCOM but I find its combat too hard and annoying to really enjoy. I know some folks just read that and have already scrolled down to the comments to yell at me. I don’t hate XCOM, but I never finish the games, and I often feel annoyed by how much the game…

But Sanders was the favorite among voters 45 and younger of every race, and he was particularly popular among Latinx voters across the board. 

You should add to the list, “embrace mods, there’s no Steam achievements yet to jeopardize, and NexusMods is full of easy-to-install quality of life improvements (like enabling the auto-blocking from earlier entries in the series) and patches to enable content that the vanilla game is currently missing (like several…

The second half of the paragraph following the clip is borderline incomprehensible, and this article in general is like 99% run-on sentences. Edit, please.

Consistently debuting outrageous sweater and pussy blouse combos, it’s her ability to take risks, and possibly look terrible, that made her such an enduring fashion icon.

Finally picked up Witcher 3 on PS4, I’ve been putting it off for years since I never got past the prologue of Witcher 1 (combat was too dense for me and my laptop sucked) and never played Witcher 2 at all. The Netflix show convinced me to dip my toe in, and I’m glad I have! I do wish they’d make 1 and 2 accessible on…

If you’re in the hands of a 1st edition DM, I’m surprised to hear that they’ve adapted well to 5E. In my experience, grognards are uniquely unsuited to embrace 5E’s design sensibility- like 4E, it’s a ‘game system not a simulation,’ and favors streamlined play and flexible concepts that apply to multiple situations rat…

I picked up a little sprite-based tactics game called Pathway, which happens to be on 40% sale right now. It’s set in WWII Egypt, very Indiana Jones atmosphere to it, and the combat so far is very satisfying. It’s a cover-based tactics shooter like XCom, but the hit percentages are tiered and coverage angles explained …

Me, I’m the market. I kind of veer back and forth about whether I’m more into chilling out in the living room with the PS4, or in my bedroom with my computer. I’m aware that there are ways to cast PC to my living room screen etc etc but I don’t follow through with that, I’m more likely to leave different games…

I dunno, remembering that burgers and fries don’t rot is one of my go-to strategies for resisting the temptation to pull into the drivethru when I’m hungry and desperate. This ad kind of works on me. 

I mean I understand that there’s a log jam between Sony and Microsoft that prevents Xbox/PS4 crossplay (though I’m not up to speed on whose fault it is), but this doesn’t seem like part of that, right? Otherwise, we’d have PC save files getting transferred to Xbox? Instead... what CDPR just figured they needed…

“Civilization has been tried on consoles before, with Revolution, which couldn’t really capture the full experience.”

Shrug. The genie’s out of the bottle, cats are already introduced into all the various ecosystems that people are clutching their pearls about them wrecking. Whether or not you feed stray cats, local bird populations are still going to be impacted by the presence of some quantity of stray cats. If you like cats and…

It sucks so hard... Fortnight took off like immediately, and Paragon was cut in that same timeframe. Like, if they’d waited three more weeks before deciding to take it out back and shoot it they would have had all the money and spare parts to throw at it a studio could ever ask for. And Paragon was actually good, way…

It’s referencing the motivation system. That blue face is the symbol students have with 0 motivation. Motivation resets to 0 after training. So something something trained everyone for this moment and now they’re unenthusiastic because their motivation is all used up.
