I find this whole “Pay $60 for 1/20 of the game is dumb” argument to be ridiculously stupid. You do realize that you’re paying not for the story but the new game in its entirety right? If you just want the story, I have news for you, just don’t buy it and watch a LetsPlay. You think Square can just crap out games of…

Pokemon is a global game. It may be owned by a Japanese company but the newer games are not made just for the Japanese domestic market exclusively. It is designed and created for global distribution. As such they should have a responsibility to represent all people.

Yes, but the key thing is that the division is no longer simply gender identity but tied to a biological fact that doesn’t lead to transphobia or non-binary and intersex erasure.

Ditto. I acknowledge that as a 37-year-old, I absolutely have a fondness for anime from the 80s/90s era, but there is something so (literally) handcrafted about the art that gets me every time I see it (these days usually as part of a MV during karaoke). The “flatter” feel of newer animation makes it feel sterile to…

Sometimes a cigar is, in fact, just a cigar. But when that cigar is being rolled by someone who has written a poem called On the Creation of N*ggers (also a word derived from the latin word nigreos), a second look at the initial cigar is warranted before smoking it.

I disagree with it not mattering, especially in 2020. Any author who wants to work with or adapt Lovecraft—especially biographically—needs to bring that shit front and center—even if his views did soften as he aged (and they didn’t soften by much, tbh)—because so much of Lovecraft as a person literally defines the…

What is the all you can eat buffet even like on a goop goop cruise???

Lifehack: Feed this to your kids and they won’t live to graduate high school. Problem solved.

Seriously. I really wanted to live long enough to at least see all my kids graduate from high school, but I also really want to eat this today.

A. The only thing worse than autoplay is autoplay with sound. I know I’m speaking to the choir, but seriously. Fuck autoplay.

Simone Biles—an elite gymnast, a Nike athlete, a champion so great there is a move named after her

The beginning part sounds a lot like little boys wanting to become esport players lmao

“I can’t play [flagship next-gen game] on [older hardware platform]?

You can shove it up my ass!......

How do you write this blog without the rest of his quote? I mean, he literally says we should push for something greater, he’s just asking those with privilege to consider what they are asking those without privilege to risk in that push.

I mean, that’s kind of like saying “I can’t get behind Mario’s hat-throwing mechanic because it’s likely to get left behind in the next generation of Mario games.” We know this is how the Pokemon franchise works now, where new mechanics get introduced and a lot of them don’t survive, especially battle mechanics. It’s…

There’s something about her where she breaks the mold in every aspect of gymnastics and makes her a GOAT for more than just her capabilities. She’s incredible for so many reasons. Forgetting her insane skills for just a moment, consider:

Hahahaha! I made fun of a women!

If you’re mad about this you are a garbage human being. Especially in a game already loaded with product placement and egregious microtransactions.

Yes.
