Yeah, the palaces really start to become a drag in the lategame. I usually try to do them in one day (if possible) which makes them even moreso.

Is there a way to count how many shrines you've done? I've done like, 15 or so but I'd like a way to see how many left I have.

A friend talked me into playing the original Nier before diving into Nier: Automata, and that game is…something. At first I was a bit puzzled at where its cult fandom comes from, because the first 8 or so hours are pretty dire. It starts as mostly bland Japanese action-RPG nonsense, with endless running back and forth…

Rest in piss

It's because (in addition to less money being at stake for less people, being a niche indie act) PWR BTTM is targeted at a demographic that has absolutely no tolerance for this kind of shit.

You sound like a genuinely vile person

"It's just science" says person who denies climate change

Sorry, that flew right over my head. I formally retract my "fuck off" position.

I don't think I'll ever understand how people in a frequently marginalized/oppressed group will rationalize or defend their oppression of another marginalized group. It feels like we SHOULD be on the same side, but I guess I might just be naive.

This is just a honeypot to get me to actually go on Reddit and I shan't fall for it

No, they're asking people to perhaps try not being shitty and awful for once. If you seriously have a problem with not being shitty and bigoted then like…fuck off I guess?

There was one dude yesterday who called Liv's gender identity a "gimmick" and I'm like "am I on fucking Breitbart or something"

It's so depressing that, as awful as the comments here on every PWR BTTM article have been (what with the rape apologists, the TERFs/general transphobes, and the typical unfunny snark that comes up on every Newswire article), they're still vastly better than the comments on pretty much any other site reporting on this…

Christ, the bigots are really coming out of the woodwork here today.

It's kind of sad and scary how little basically any game publisher cares about history, legacy, or preservation (outside of how much money it can milk out of an IP). This industry has some serious growing up it needs to do.

Their previous relationship with Microsoft had them publishing all Remedy's games, basically making them Microsoft-only titles. I'm assuming they're gonna be operating independently now so they can publish on both consoles.

I didn't exactly love Alan Wake (way too repetitive in the actual "game" part of the game for my taste) but I respect it, damn it. This is a real bummer.

Like, I get reviewing their album, whatever, that's your job, but could you maybe not like…hype it up this much? Surely there was time between yesterday and today to maybe consider Not doing this?

Hey AV Club? I feel like I think this at least once a week these days, but what the fuck is your deal? You have PWR BTTM as the headline to your music review roundup, even plastering their picture on the thumbnail, while being fully aware and reporting on their lead singer being accused of rape. Does this site have…
