For me, a game needs a good story and some sort of characterization of NPCs beyond vapid eyed quest giving to be a real RPG, and thats where dragon’s dogma misses the field by  a ton. The game feels woefully incomplete, like they made the systems of the game and then didn’t have enough time to write characters, story,…

Starting Strength and an app like “Run, Zombies!” is pretty decent. All you need is a gym membership and some pavement. 

He hasn’t done any squats either so

Anyone who does “squats” like he does has no business pretending to be an expert on fitness or nutrition.

From someone who lifts to one of my favorite Kotaku commentors: don’t do situps, do leg raises / six inches, planks, and hold crunches. Sit ups don’t do nearly as much as any of those.

Key difference is that basketball wasn’t designed with those random balls and weapons.

Yeah, it’s the exact opposite of what the author understood it to be.

That’s also because the overwatch fanbase has dropped off dramatically. 

Seconding my experience with Japanese feminists re: Naoto. I spoke with two Japanese transwomen many years back at a convention in NYC and both of them were pretty adamant that through a Japanese cultural lens, Naoto is absolutely not trans, but instead she is deeply conflicted because she despises the gender norms…

I do this too, but mostly because I don’t have any friends :’(

You are very, very mistaken, so you do not recall correctly. States and the Feds both have their own misdemeanors and felonies, and nearly anyone who is convicted of a crime, felony or otherwise, is convicted in a state system rather than federally.

Isabelle is Leslie Knope’s fursona. 

I don’t feel like saying that I “missed the point” is really fair; I engaged with basically every single subsystem the game has. The issue is that there’s only one of any substance that matters, and that’s shooting, and the mechanics for shooting are god awful. Almost every other part of the game is completely…

Interestingly, this is exactly how I feel about Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s an ok game, but one that is on the whole pretty mediocre and doesn’t demand anything of me. It’s mechanics are deeply simple (you shoot) and there’s barely any thought involved.

Think they’re referencing Red Orchestra 2

You can buy a game, write a review, and then immediately ask for a refund. 

This is precisely why the powerup at the end of the comic makes sense (the power of self-reflection, where he realizes that he’s just as much of a shit head as the evil exes, and thus moves forward with his life) and the the powerup at the end of the movie is weak and nerdbait (you just gotta respect yourself!)

Anti-Semitic was created to mean Anti-Jew. It was originally a replacement word for the German word “Judenhass”, which meant Jew Hatred. Anti-Semitic was thought up to make it sound more scientific. 

unless they were getting someone to make these out of their half-finished garage

My guess is that it was less a supply issue and more a production issue. The nylon they’re using seems super lightweight, like a 20d nylon 6. The bag pictured is probably something like 8 or 10oz canvas. Add another 5mm webbing to stitch through and you need a heavy duty sewing machine, like the ones in the bag…
