I love how you can tell a Miyazaki protagonist by haircut, they’re all perfectly designed to slowly fluff up and raise during moments of stress, magic, or stressful magic.

“What is it about this game that is so popular?”

Well they are wrong, just like those late 90's/ early 2000's console developers who thought nobody would play 2D games in the future.

I’ve got a Series S and a Series X, and I have to say I love the S. It ends up getting more playtime due to it’s more convenient location, but the games look just fine on it and the thing is small and cheap. I’m glad MS is sticking with it. 

That looks like a Katamari of every single piece of sci-fi and fantasy produced over the past 60 years. He’s not even being clever and trying to hide it...not that Snyder has ever been subtle, but that was beyond the pale blatant.

As someone who read it in my late teens and my 20's (and am 32 now), it does read a little juvenile, but I think the fun of it is that it uses video game aesthetics and sensibilities to look at very normal parts of life. Dating someone new and idealizing them, fighting off your insecurities about their dating history…

Scott is really just deluding himself into thinking that everyone likes him. He’s really a kind of shitty dude, as you’ve noted, for the first half of the story and doesn’t start improving until volume 4. But he does improve, in a much more real and earned way than the movie could possibly show.

Maybe they can get one of the Cronenbergs for a body horror/Turbo Teen angle.

Counterpoint, if nude mods in video games is how you get your rocks off have at it! I’m too old to kink shame. Just disable all mods (or use a console) for tournament play. I don’t even own a pc, but some of the mods I’ve seen are cool as shit. Would’ve been super cool to co-op Elden Ring.

Windows does not always mean steam.  Sometimes people specifically say “Windows” because its only on the microsoft store, or Epic.  So yeah, clarification would be good.  At this point, people just need to say “not on steam”

makes sense considering XVI mostly just pretended to be an RPG.

So I’m assuming that this is the absurdist headline that every aspiring journalist someday dreams of writing?

It’s kind of rich for Japanese media to take issue with depictions of other nations’ WWII war crimes.

I do love Avatar, but it’s hard not to write it off as just another Dances with Wolves with snazzy graphics.

Well, looks like I done fat fingered that one.

The rechargable pack is not expensive but if you are so adverse to buying one, you can use any usb-c cable in the xbox controller without batteries. Sure, its “wired” but its still an option while waiting on the battery recharge.

The fact that the strikes are making CEO’s this mad is a sign that they’re working.

well then i don’t understand why he retired either.

Im with you, i had played FF1 on NES but was a bit young to get into it.  IV on Snes was my first.  Love it still, but VI is a Top 5 game of all time for me.  Id give Cecil best protagonist, simply because 6 is much more of an ensemble, but it also splits the first and second half and has two main characters, Terra at…
