Concepts and caricatures are problematic when they are blatant stereotyping stand-ins for existing groups, especially when those groups are already persecuted.

Would love to jump on the new Kirby game for my birthday week, but I bought a PS5 last week as an early present, so I'm still recovering from the sticker shock (hooray for having disposable money!) and will continue to go knees deep in GT7 and Horizon, and MLB The Show in two weeks

By your (non)logic, minors should not receive any sort of medical or psychiatric care because they are not in a position to consent or to consider the health ramifications of their choices. That take is so disingenuous, and condescending to youth, to the point of being insulting.

Gender affirming healthcare doesn’t just include hrt and surgery. Puberty blockers only delay the onset of puberty changes, which can give teenagers the time to explore their identity without the onset of physical changes that cannot be reversed.

Genuine question; have any of these companies followed through and moved business of out a state when the Republicans pass this kind of shit? Only one that comes to mind is when the NCAA moved tournaments out of North Carolina in 2016.

Never has a game so swiftly torpedoed my interest upon starting it for reasons not related to the actual gameplay.

The problem with that is that a Switch has a completely different library, and a lot of PC gamers have hundreds of different PC games that they’ve already paid for.

That’s fine. Give more options so everyone’s happy.

I know I am coming off as a From Software hater here lately but fuck this shit. That is bad design. A game should not hide the tutorial and there should be no chance you can miss it.   It should also be skippable but the game should march you right to it before giving you the choice to ignore it and go do your own…

If they don’t include cameos of the Grim Dawn universe I’ll be greatly disapointed!

This. Grim Dawn is rather unremarkable in terms of the originality of its story/themes/art style/game play. But it excels in the execution of it’s game play in ways other hack’n’slash failed to do at the time. When I played it back then, it really felt like these guys understood the direction hack’n’slash games had to…

“There’s nothing in the information available just now that suggests anything stunningly original about Farthest Frontier, with what sound like incremental advancements on many a previous city sim. However, and it’s a very important however, the same could have been said of Grim Dawn during its early pitch on…

Base PS4 owner here. I’ve owned CP2077 disc version since launch, tho have yet to play it since the whole debacle keeps persisting. But the postcards and stickers that came with my disc copy worked as intended on day one. So... yay!

There was a far larger marketing push for New World. I only heard about Lost Ark because people on every tabletop RPG Discord I’m on were playing it, and most of those had been playing on the Korean server long before this. “The thing I don’t like is popular so there must be a fake reason for that” is such a…

Try the game before you bitch about it and KOREA is capitalized moron, show some fucking respect!

Unions are a good thing. Police unions are not.

They’re trained to treat every single engagement with the public as potentially life and death. Coupled with the increased militarization of departmental gear across the country, you get the routine bullshit they keep getting away with.

I’m always surprised, though I guess I shouldn’t be, how easy it is to get cops to go HAM with so little provocation and with no check in place to prevent obvious abuse in unwarranted situations.

“artificial attempt at garnering interest"

Nothing has ever come close to Dragon’s Dogma in open world gameplay, ever. And from everything Ive seen this is just Dark Souls, unless I’m missing something. And I hated the souls series.
