idk kinda just seems like they meant to say ‘holiday-sized update’ but accidentally put ‘update-sized update’ and then corrected it.

Wait, I still remember how this works. Just a minute to reactivate the proper synapses. Ah yes...

That’s why literal porn actress Melania Trump was denied when she first came to the country from the former Soviet nation of Yugoslavia, right?

This is literally no different than stripping (except that you’re never in the same room) which is, of course, legal in the US. Or being a phone sex operator. Would they be denied a visa? Fuck our puritanical nonsense. 

Republicans at work!

Pearl clutching violence lovers, can’t get more American than that. Dude nearly dies getting tackled during a football game? Unfortunate but part of the game. Janet Jackson accidentally flashes a titty? Unbridled outrage.

I always find it funny that a country where everyone can run around packing heat, they’re afraid of people packing virtual vaginas.

100%. I downloaded Asphalt Legends for the Switch, which controls solidly on a controller for a mobile port, but it’s glaring how the structure is still built around being played on a phone

The idea sounded good at a meeting but everyone there forgot how awful the internet can be.

They probably had good intentions, like what if a you make an RPG but forget to mention it has vampires, your players can vote together and add the vampire tag for you and help other vampire lovers find your game - Everyone…

Nothing, you’re right, it’s weird that users can add their own stupid tags.

I don’t use Steam a lot, but it sounds like just anybody can change tags on a product?

That sounds weird. What am I missing?

well if that’s where this was going, sign me up for mechanical smut

In case you’re not aware, this Tomb Raider game is also available as a Netflix game and has had all the microtransactions stripped out of it.  And it’s super weird because it still has an energy meter and a bunch of different currencies.

i imagine it feels a little like when ridiculously difficult arcade games came to consoles 30 years ago.  Some of the design decisions came over wholesale from a model where you played per play and it didn’t quite match up.

Have you guys checked out some of the Android games Netflix has? Playing games that would naturally rely heavily on microtransactions (as most mobile games do) and playing versions of those that have been stripped out of those is such a weird experience.

I grow more confused by the gaming community with each passing day

considering that Tommy Tallarico once said that he practically designed Metroid Prime through sound engineering and nobody questioned that for 20 years, I must answer: maybe???

Just wait until the “save the children” people hear about this. Oh wait, they can’t use it to attack LGBT people? Never mind.

Look, we’re just getting to the point where nipples are regularly being shown in games and animation, so society is gonna need a little more time to get used to casual genitals.

Unintended Vaginas sounds like some sort of really weird avant garde punk band
