“Black” in this instance specifically refers to an African-American woman.

believe me, i’m aware of Elena, Laura, and Pullum Purna, but they’re Kenyan, Brazilian, and Saudi Arabian respectively. it’s different.

I was gonna comment the same thing!! lol same here. It’s always trip to think back on Real World / Road Rules. I remember him being on there and how he was an “up and coming amateur wrestler” trying to get famous. Back then everyone was like yaaaa ok bro, but hey, I guess he made it! Lol 

I’m just going to state how very annoying the whole thing is where they had us opt-in for the beta like a month ago, but then this week, you also had to see the notification in time that beta access required watching four hours of one of the officially selected Overwatch 2 Beta streamers on twitch.

Hate to say it but it’s because a lot of pop culture tv writers don’t have the proper framing or cultural knowledge to draw from, to fully explore the themes of this uniquely black and nerdy show. Glover is a blerd (I say as a blerd myself), a lot of his weird nerd shit really hits with my white nerd friends, but…

I’m more a fan of the no-gimmick (i.e. the game quits thing) speedruns.

I’ve found 3 player co-op games are much easier to organize RL friends around than 4 player games.  It’s been a nice shift.  

I’m sorry that you have to write about this middle school shit.

Indies are pretty visible on gamepass though, one of the reasons I’m still subscribed is that I’m looking forward to trying out Nobody Saves the World

Same but the lack of dedicated playlists has caused me to put it down. I just want to play Slayer like the old days and I get stuck in these other game modes that don’t interest me.

Yeah that’s where he totally lost me.  Performance mode all day, especially in this game where it doesn’t even take a big visual quality hit (check out the Digital Foundry video.)

Is that framerate boost really worth the hit to fidelity?

I wish that the God of War games were on xbox but I love that Sony Santa Monica is clearly run by good people that actually give a shit about the people who work under them.

Rival EA has made billions in digital sales through some of the most disgusting means imaginable, to the point where national governments have taken legal action, but at the same time those modes are reasonably firewalled. You can buy FIFA or Madden, play multiple career modes and, the odd cosmetic purchase aside,…

Honestly, there’s no way this can be explained away as just being stream-of-consciousness from someone who’s not legitimately antisemitic. I’m Jewish, and in 33 years I’ve never heard someone use the word (let alone call me it) except in movies or to specifically list it as a racial slur. And it’s not like it’s out…

I swear a larger group of man babies has never existed.

Xbox One and Series X digital games have a much more advanced model than 360. The license can be added or deleted at will, whether the game data is present or not. This is most easily observable with Gamepass. When games are removed, it will ask if you own the game when you try to start it, and it won’t start the game…

I think it’s more the GoT darkness.  The game didn’t take me to any dark places, but it was pretty hard to see at times!  Still amazing though!

Up until this very moment, I had forgotten Game of Thrones aired an eighth season, and was living in blissful ignorance. But yes, dark as in that somehow-multiple-Emmy-winning episode... Be sure to turn up the brightness when you play!

OK, but then you don’t get the dopamine hit from the sound effect when you hit a special. All the multipliers in the world can’t match that satisfaction...
