This exactly. This is unfortunately an old argument, and as much I wish everyone would just acknowledge US concentration camps, I’m not at all surprised at the denial.

America has always called our concentration camps “internment camps” pretending they’re something different because they weren’t run by Nazi Germany,…

It could be the same, in which case I would be fine with them. I’m fine with some “gatcha” type mechanics in mobile games specifically because they work just like blind boxes. You buy a ‘roll’ or set of ‘rolls’ on a roll for Characters/Heroes/Whatever, and maybe you get a bunch of mundane ones, or maybe you get the…

‘Blind Boxes’ are popular amongst kids and collectors. Baseball cards, TCGs, collectable anime figurines, and the like are all pretty popular among adult collectors.

The real difference is that such blind boxes are always a set of generally-equal-items. Different cards or figurines may carry a different value in trade…

Medicare for All, and a great deal of new policy is important.

However, it is boldy obvious to anyone who does even the smallest amount of research outside of the Conservative Propaganda “News” machine, that Trump has at least obstructed justice. And most recently, he’s said, on camera, in an interview, that he would ag…

Ehh, from all the reports I’ve heard, it sounds like Avengers is minimally co-op, while Ultimate Alliance 3 is, like the UA games before it, all about team play. And unless I’ve missed it, we don’t know how many people the Avengers game will support.

From what we know right now, I’d say UA3 will be the “Marvel team-up…

An isometric, multiplayer brawler and a 3rd person, single-player action game? With vastly different visual styles? One clearly based on the broader Marvel Comics, and the other based seemingly on the cinematic/MCU Avengers?

How are these at all the “same basic concept” outside of “video game with Marvel characters in…

Thank you! It bugged the hell out of me that the article kept saying the characters were in their “exact” MCU costumes. Like, I can kind of understand with Iron Man, who’s had so many armors that mostly look fairly similar, or Black Widow, who’s had a few costumes that were basically just ‘black catsuit’, but that…

They had the Windows logo on there, and their site confirms it’ll be on both Xbox and PC.

A current porn star, who was formerly in voice acting, was talking about how sexually abusive and exploitative the VA industry is, while the porn industry was actually better about it. Another porn star, who has not been a VA, said that she hadn’t encountered said abuse as a porn star.

Or to be as clear as possible,…

I think something kind of like the Mega Man Battle Network games could work. A battle grid where you can try to avoid attacks, and all attacks have an animation time and maybe a ‘cooldown’. ‘Rounds’ play out in real time, then there is a pause where you can choose to ready items/pokeballs or switch out your pokemon.

That’s actually way less true than it’s made out to be. Only a glancing blow is going to be ‘funnelled’, and that will lose a lot of energy in traveling along the armor, meaning there is little chance of then getting through some thick central ‘cleavage plate’. A non-glancing blow from a piercing or bludgeoning weapon…

While I generally agree with ‘boob armor’ being dumb, with the exception of the more practical “monoboob” style, this armor is actually kind of fine?

The big, thick, central [sternum] plate gives reinforcement to the area that ‘boob armor’ would make problematic— that being a glancing blow being driven towards the…

This is actually explained in Star Trek Online. The Tal Shiar were manipulated by an at-the-time enigmatic force from outside the Galaxy into altering Hobus into both being capable of a SuperNova, and having that event blindside the Romulans themselves.

Which was all part of the plan, as one of the leaders of that…

Any military sim you’re playing right now should have, theoretically, gone through the process of getting approval from the rights holders for basically any branded item. So AM winning would change a whopping nothing.

This is why a lot games, outside of sims, don’t use the specific real world brandings. You often have…

They’re more like the Legacy sabers than the old build-your-own types. Also I think the blades are build to handle at least light contact. So, like, light fencing probably, but not full-force berserker rage.

From the reviews and videos I’ve seen, the core bit housing the electronics is sturdy plastic, and [almost?] all the ‘shell’ parts that you customize are metal. Everyone I’ve seen has noted how they feel heavier/heftier than they expected.

You also get the new blade style with a custom saber, which can easily be…

Now? No.

After the other ride is open, maybe crowds have leveled off a bit, and you can get the lower-priced (off peak) tickets? It certainly looks like it.

I’m currently planning on going with some family and friends during Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival. That way there’s something else for us to do when Galaxy’s Edge is…

How they don’t have some kind of shooting range game boggles me. I mean, I guess I could see as kind of less ‘Family Friendly’(TM) to be blowing away Stormtroopers, but that doesn’t stop them from letting you shoot down TIEs (at least based on what I’ve seen of Smuggler’s Run).

A Swoop Bike or Pod Racing track also…
