Totally fair. My own experience as an atheist that was raised in a hyoer religious household, stories in all media that talk about the false nature of religion and the power if holds on people, and how it’s ultimately about making money exploiting peoples fears and hopes. Others with similar backgrounds to mine hate…

Pretty late to the party. I mean, even assuming contracts were signed before the current crypto collapse and NFT backlash, I’d have still just pulled out of the deal than go out there and publicly announce an NFT game in October of 2022. That takes a real and willful dedication to obliviousness. Even Ubisoft is…

This one is good, but it really doesn’t hold a candle to the Joshua Stephenson quest as my favorite, asking questions about the value of faith, the limits of self-forgiveness, the ghoulishness of entertainment and how it keeps churning on, regardless of our level of participation. I consider it on the level of the…

I baby it, honestly. The worst thing it sees is being places on the couch for a few hours if I don’t remember to put it in the charger. I also don’t grip particularly tight. it’s usually either in my hand or in the case charging. Maybe I just got kind of a dud?

Oh, I guess I will say that the case with charger inside is alright. Helps keep the controller clean. So that a small second good point. Still don’t recommend them.

I got an Elite Series 2 last year. It’s trigger throw adjusters essentially made other triggers feel like trash to me. BUT....everything else about it sucks. The sticks fall off all the time, getting lost in the couch. The rubber grip is peeling. The toggles for the trigger throw lost their caps, leaving sharp plastic…

Oh, a boycott could work, if we somehow got the scalpers to join it, which wont happen. The scalpers alone, even if they can’t flip them, has already sold out their launch inventory of 4090s, so if doesn’t matter what normal folks do, Nvidia gets paid.

What I think may happen is in two years or so, when the 5000 series…

Read about this over the weekend. It all seems tragically ironic but also, exactly the sort of thing Disco Elysium talked about, Capital absorbing it’s critiques. The bottling and selling of rebellion against itself. The anarchic-communist revolution sponsored by Pepsi.

I’m sorry, but as God’s supervisor, I need them to stay on the phones. Vishnu is on lunch and Odin called out sick so we are short staffed. Your little “fix the universe” thing will have to wait until their shift is over.

Is….is Key West a dick?

Well, this may fall inside the neglect category, but their recent few Castlvania re-releases were extremely low-effort affairs with next to nothing by way of improvements or quality of life tweaks. Which isn’t the worst sin, but they were a bit overpriced for what you got.

I too don’t want to give Konami the money but…

The theory was they were concerned with nude mods on the lead actor. That makes me believe we are gonna see one on nexus mods before the week is up, and we may never have if they didn’t voice so many concerns about what a PC release would do for the guys image.

So, in Yakuza 7, Ichibans hairstyle is the result of a barbers mistake, and is acknowledged as a bad haircut (though I LOVE his hair and I’m glad he will still have it.) I wonder if this is partially a continuation of the joke, being that all the protagonists now have goofy hair. Though Kiryu’s hair is obviously…

So, I think I’m in kinda of the extremely lucky sweet spot for this move. I graduated in 2008 with only federal loans, and I went to a state college so my undergrad was in that “$10 and a handy” era. As it stands right now, I still owe $35k. I did get pell grants every quarter I was in school, so I think I get the…

For a split second there, I thought the thumbnail looks like President Zelensky.

Well, yes, that is a correct reaction to have. Unfortunately, not only are there huge part of the population that don’t care what happens to anyone they aren’t directly related to (even if it does have a negative affect on them indirectly) but there are so many gleeful villians openly delighting in behavior like this…

I did say it was a fantasy....

I think in my fantasy, I’m hoping it financially ruins him beyond repair. At least enough to make his whole family leave him.

I am greatly anticipating the day that this flops and hopfully ruins this guy’s rep to the point that he stops showing up in news feeds. I know that’s simply unrealistic, living trolls never go away, but I can dream.

Totally fair. That game I got 155 hour in over just 5 weeks, whereas Witcher 3 was 3 playthroughs, Skyrime was, well, Skyrim. It was kind of a thing and I hadn’t been that engaged with a game for probably the whole past decade. I don’t even think I played FF14, WoW or any of the other MMOs of my wasted life that long…
