In my own experience as a woman who games (aka gamer), I steadfastly avoid PVP lobbies, primarily because they are far too sweaty and toxic to be any fun. But... give me some Zelda, HZD, Uncharted, GoT, TLOU, Fallout... I’ve played them all multiple times. I would say there’s probably lots of other women out there who…

Exactly. It’s like the girl who showed up to D&D club in the 90s. No one yelled “this is a man’s space”. We all bent over backwards, probably embarrassingly so, for her to play.

AND this scene is incredibly important to the new one’s plot.  I’M SERIOUS.

Channels sometimes get ‘stuck’, preventing swapping between other channels. I only noticed this when my phone (GalaxyS20FE) upgraded to Android 13 though. Closing the app and relaunching it ‘fixes’ it, but its slightly annoying.

CAW! CAW! (is that how ravens sound?)

He might end with his prison army after all.

Jurassic Park, one of the most famous movies from the Jawzilla genre

Gamers are particularly shit at naming genres, though. If you let them name movie genres, Goodfellas would’ve been “a Godfatherlike” or something.

It seems like most of the problems Mr. Hughes mentions are things that could be addressed with in-game settings or features.

Forbidden West dropped on PS Plus not too long ago, and I’ve been playing it exclusively for the last few weeks, really enjoying my time. The storytelling is some of the best in a video game I can remember experiencing, outside of Last of Us and a few others. Dropping this DLC right now is perfect timing for me as I…

“Oh he’s heavily fucking delayed”

I don’t understand his reaction? Did he not know that the Queen died? Is that why he went to shout WTF for 30 sec straight for no reason??

After watching that clip, I’m reminded less about the Queen’s death and more about the fact that all Twitch streamers have to performatively scream every 30 seconds to entertain their 12 year old fans.

“a subset of the population that’s completely fine with being slack-jawed, popcorn-chomping dipshits looking to “take people down a peg or two.”"

I’m a father of two girls and definitely predisposed to be sympathetic towards Joel, but at no point in the game or show were the Fireflies motives indicated to be anything other than creating a vaccine. They’re a rebel/terrorist organization and have done some violent things, but it was clear they were looking for a…

Virtually every single analysis about Joel’s actions at the end of TLOU Part I ignores the single most egregious thing he did that is absolutely, utterly unjustifiable: he lied.

Horizon often gets unfairly lumped in with Neo-Assassin’s-Creed map clearing games, and suffers because so many people are already familiar with those. That overshadows the fact it’s one of the most creative and attentively-written settings I’ve ever had the pleasure to play in. ‘Open world’ isn’t at the core of what…

Looks like I’m one of the few people that enjoyed this game. I thought it was a great opening up of the first games systems, and they added things to keep different player types engaged. The side quests had some brilliant emotional stories, all speaking to the human condition, and yeah all the traditional trappings of…

i would take Aloy over literally any guy protagonist in a video game

HFW has some outstanding nested side quests that felt relevant, important, and not at all checking off boxes. Getting flight was awesome and I enjoyed it quite a bit, even if some parts of the script were a little predictable.
