It’s not really ‘white knighting a crane game’ (but good try trying to obfuscate my intentions) - it’s just believing in a certain set of values and applying them universally. I may not like rigged crane games, but that doesn’t mean I get to abandon any semblance of what’s right in order to champion, justify, and…

The dreamer in me wants Tomba or Klonoa.

I think it’s because in gaming culture, there’s a pervasive insistence that 1) everything should be free (because games are a right) and 2) a 100 hour game doesn’t mean anyone will spend that much time with it, or if they do, will not truly find value in every hour they spent. But the industry tolerates it, since 3)…

Condescending doesn’t make facts untrue.

Games don’t ‘cost’ $60, but for the past 13 years, it’s stayed at that level. So we get stuff like this. And DLC. And Season Passes. And microtansactions.

“I use relativism to justify shitty behavior and lionize it as true justice”

So obviously I bought the book after seeing this.

Since when?

......also, uh, saying “Console Exclusivity Sucks!” when defending the console with the largest amount of exclusive titles? Yeah.

I’m no expert, but that looks like the Villager’s moveset too?

I gave up on Pocket Camp and started playing New Leaf again. This is some really great news!

Oh, and to be hyper picky, when did game versions of board games become ‘ports?’

I just rebought FFXII on PS4 and I will do it again.

Maybe they played it, liked it, and that’s why they’re excited about playing it in bed?

but I know what you’re thinking: Where’s VIII?

It’s weird to think that, when Spider-Man came out just a week ago, Gamers decried its exclusivity.

I don’t think so? But honestly all my playtime has been multiplayer. There is a lore to all the characters though, and the goal of the game is based around lore too. So...even if they didn’t, I could see them doing something like that.

I play it a lot online and it’s fun! As long as you like board games in the first place...

Violence:

they specifically say ‘unless you’re a cheetah’ meaning they’re saying violence isn’t natural...unless you’re a cheetah. Or...violence isn’t natural...until it is.
