A little hard to dredge up ten year old backer packages and ship spec articles, but no, it is absolutely not accurate to say that the features or gameplay I’m describing were driven by fan hype or my own imagination or projection. They were actual, exhaustively described game features used in the marketing and sale of…

The whimsical aesthetic is charming, I love DQs settings, but godDAMN is it getting harder and harder for me to pretend the DQ plots aren’t paper thin and written for 12 year olds. Final Fantasy games fall along a wide spectrum of maturity, DQ could stand to give it a shot.

I do things so that my boss doesn’t have to all the time, and found out very early that when he tells me to order people to do things, that means I should be the one ordering, not passing along that he ordered. It’s almost literally the whole point of middle management!

In the early 2010’s, I was caught up in the hype, bought in for a specific pirating ship model (the Cutlass) because of talks about tractor beams, docking rings, pvp ship boarding, ship mass and handling, thruster location, gunner pod fields of view, cargo capacity, etc etc... I’m their target sucker, I didn’t care if…

In my experience, the only times that judges let themselves get talked into letting children testify during custody disputes was in “rock and a hard place” cases where domestic violence, substance use, etc. issues made both homes seem dangerous and undesirable, and a fuller picture was needed about where the kid did…

You’ve got some copy-paste edit errors in the middle there, proof read please.

Would really have to be for game development, an executive wouldn’t be expected to have creative insight into adapting a game’s IP to a show (I hope).

Do you not have HamNo’s contact info? How was he not consulted as the voice of fitness past?

Those Facebook demographics for each user are automatically generated based on algorithms tracking the entirety of your life on the internet. Categorizing a Streamer would require a real person watching their content, over a long period, as well as the type of chat engagement they get, to make generalized predictions…

Facebook adds feel different/cheaper than Twitch, which are commercials?

I’m not any kind of expert on ads, but possibly isn’t as much diverse and nuanced bucket interest out there among advertisers as an outside observer might believe? If streamer a and streamer b are both appealing to male 18-34 bracket with an interest in gaming, but one has a “NSFW” tag and one doesn’t... I dunno that…

Wrex isn’t particularly fuckable, marryable, or killable, but goddam is he chillable. Wrex is written with such fantastic best bro energy, that even when you’re fighting with him, it feels like the kind of pissed you get at a lifelong friend who you know is going to weather the storm. Tali might be a chill bud, but…

His dad’s footsteps? You’re going to adopt, then fuck, marry, and kill the son too?

That’s dark :(

I’ll be playing Mass Effect Face Creator all weekend, agonizing over invisible chin angles that don’t appear until the harsh light of gameplay. And what’s the deal with Default FemShep having a cute messy but professional hairstyle that custom FemShep can’t pick?!

Rock stacking in real life is fun, because you can feel it, and have to learn to listen to and trust your body to find the hidden points of balance in these jagged heavy stones. Rock stacking in AC is an exercise of swearing at the bizarre camera controls and squinting to find barely perceptible dimples and flat…

If, as a YouTuber, you are invited to be a guest on a well-known talk show... yeah, you probably are a little ‘famed’? But even if you’re just Jane Doe enjoying 5 minutes of fame for something stupid... is it so much to expect that a host treats you welcomingly and with respect, when you’re invited as a guest?

Ignoring a bully can work, when the bully has an exit path towards behaving civilly. MTG’s continued success and existence depends upon her bullying AOC and garnering attention, so ignoring her ranting is likely to just result in MTG ramping up the antics further, and further, and further to overtly dangerous levels…

I may have missed it in the article... there’s cross play, but NOT cross play team matching??? Meaning, you can play against or along a friend on another platform, but not intentionally???

For PS, it’s not available for preload until Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

One of those yacht + support yacht (+several support skiffs) combos tied up tin my harbor last year, not sure whose. The salmon fleet skiffs seemed to be having fun zooming around them to bounce them with their wake, might have tipped over a champagne flute or two.
