It’s almost like the each panel is made without any account for how the strip will be layed out. Then it’s chopped up to fit everything into the area without losing the art’s central focus, and then speech bubbles are just plopped down where they interfere with the art the least.

That Penny Arcade strip is pretty brilliant, still chuckling about it.

You should play Into The Breach. Turn based mech strategy where you see everything your opponent will do the next turn. The strategy comes from using your limited resources to do ANYTHING about it, because there are inevitably far more things to deal with than you have mechs. It was one of the most acclaimed games of…

Assault of LIVING creatures. You cannot assault a video game. A video game is not capable of giving consent. It has no consent to give.

And I find it a shame that the author used clickbait insulting concepts to get people to read about the game’s exploration.

I have nothing against the game. I have everything against the bullshit tactic of saying nonsense to get people interested in it. It’d be the same as someone writing “Hey, rape, am I right? Okay…

“Does consent mean offering “Yes” and “No” options? Is it enough for the player to consent, or does the player-character also get a say?”

“What does it mean for a game to let you consent?”
I buy the game. Consent applies to actual living things, not fictional things or objects. I do not ask my toilet if I can poop in it. I do not ask a book if I can read it. Your question is clickbait. And before anyone says anything, yes, I read the article. My…

“... lives in a vegan commune with a bunch of stoners, witches, and flakes.”

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. It’s a game, you play how you want one way, finish it, then play a completely different way to see what happens. It’s done all the time with almost any game previously.

If you say so.  What have they made?

In even bigger news, Amazon has a games division.  

I don’t understand the obsession we have with ensuring that no crunch happens in gaming studios. Every high pressure job has some level of crunch. I have a few months of it every year as an auditor. Expecting zero crunch from a job like this is foolish to me. The issue should be about TOO MUCH crunch instead, not…

As a person who had the dream of travelling to Japan one day (and finally made it), I couldn’t help but romanticize every single experience I had. This is the way of the tourist mind. If you want to look close enough though, you start to see the cracks, which are common (at least many of them) to any similiarly active…

The countryside is shit. The city is shit.

From now on, whenever someone asks me what E3 is, I’m just going to show them that video.

Being scantily clad on Twitch doesn’t violate California penal codes.

I see now it's women's fault he's an asshole

Sabi sounds like an asshole going around ruining everbody else’s surprises.

Aaand we’re hungry again...
