Rock hard, my man. Rock. Hard.

Utf-8 accent stacking shenanigans,there are generators online you can use to grungify regular text

Playing a game that has you wander around the real world is bound to create situations where you stumble upon interesting, surprising or dangerous real world stuff. Because the world is full of that. Is the news here that stuff happens in the world or that video games make people go out and see it? I’m also confused…

He’s gotten a little soft, agreeing to something like that.

Yeah, those posts by the KS creator cracked me up, the douchebaggery is strong in this one. The difference between good scammers and bad scammers is that the good ones are somewhat believable. This one’s posts just.. give it away.

Indeed, there are very clear signs that this company was not trustworthy, but there are also reasonable reasons to believe Paradox might have signed with them specifically to re-brand an existing project to cut down costs and GameBear just happened to have an ideal software candidate for that purpose. It’s possible…

Checking assets for plagiarism is a pretty time consuming and complex process. even with a lot of time, effort and money invested in this, developers can still miss some instances of subcontractors cutting corners. It’s highly unlikely that the intent was to plagiarise to cut costs or dev time, no developer in their…

Finally, a form of theater where you purchase as many tickets as you can in hopes of getting good actors on the stage, only to end up with a bunch of duplicate art students which will hopefully merge together to become shinier versions of themselves. I’ve been ready for this my whole life.

Goddam, this is infuriating. She’s right on the topic of “sexually suggestive” being primarily a concern for women streamers. I bet it’d take a lot for men to get banned on this reason while these women are always walking on a thin line despite not actually intending to be lewd in any manner. The fact that women with…

If it’s the one I’m thinking about, there’s a ruined building up north of the map. You can get her there without triggering any of the beasts (use enemy range indicators to see where you can go), it’s a safe spot that has a defense+heal tile she can comfortably sit in whil you bring the rest of the group to her

err, “incels” refer to themselves in this way because they’re “involuntary celibates”, they rage against women. This is clearly an antisemitic crime. It’s a shooting of jewish people celebrating Yom Kippur, so wtf are you on about?

The problem here, in both cases, is that the way these are worded can be contorted into validating their censorship of Hong Kong protesters on the basis that these opinions and statements could be seen as offensive or disrespectful to neighboring China. They’re always going to figure out some way to say “yeah, but…

Funny, I was just thinking earlier that the overall decline in politeness and appropriateness of user comments was one of the reasons why I felt less inclined to participate lately...

**groaaaan**

I’m kind of puzzled as to why these kind of games even exist in a time when Japan is actively fighting against a very real and very serious trend of upskirt photo stalkers and subway gropers...

I mean, I understand how it’s OK children to get acquainted with gambling mechanics and casino machines, and possibly even develop addiction to these systems, but GOD FORBID their virgin ears are exposed to horrible words like “hell” or “damn”. Are they trying to turn our kids into monsters?!

In my opinion, the only real solution, game design wise, would be to create situations where picking one character would lock out another, such that you can’t get all of them, but whichever you choose to grow close to would also define who you’re casting aside, and vice-versa. This would promote a kind of gameplay…

I guess we just live in an era where brick an mortar stores won’t cut it... Here’s an example: After watching Kotaku’s videos and reading articles about Fire Emblem Three Houses, I was convinced I needed that game RIGHT AWAY. I put on my shoes and set off to scour my local game shops, none of which had it in stock…

The context of being able to interact with others while hiding behind the anonymity of an online handle fosters a ton of disagreeable behaviours that people wouldn’t ordinarily have in real-life interactions. Penny Arcade’s famously covered this in a strip about “John Gabriel’s Greater Internet Dickwad Theory”. It’s…
