Oh thank god somebody said it.

I’ll be honest: I was shocked by how pissed I got at Harley and Ivy hooking up. I was genuinely invested in Ivy and Kiteman’s thing, and it feels like the alst episode or so goes out of its way to suddenly make the relationship not work simply so that Ivy and Harley can get together.

Day One, First Episode, I was

They can’t. Their entire identity is being an exhaustive twat on the internet.

I picked up Arkham Knights on sale a month or so back. Spent about an hour with it before I tossed it aside in disgust. It’s so miserable, so unpleasant, so full of unremitting hatred of women, absolute contempt for anything other than brutal violence, such a reductive and boring view of Batman.

I did happen, and it was embarrassing to watch so many put so much faith in something that was always going to disappoint for so long.

As a good Patrick O’Brian fan I am an enthusiast of the under-rated xebec.

Murder all synthetic life in galaxy. Mind control all synthetic life in the galaxy. Or synthesis, wherein you... let me just check my notes here... violate the bodily autonomy of all sentient life in the galaxy, rewriting the DNA of every single solitary person based on a three minute conversation with a small ghostly

Exactly. GoT’s problem wasn’t the lack of women, it was its wretched treatment of those women.

The real bafflement is that it spends three games showing that you can find accord with artificial life and then lectures you in the show’s final minutes how it’s been proved by off-screen events millions of years ago that you cannot find accord with artificial life so obviously the only solution is to... periodically

ME3 assumed you would care about Earth, and it is only one of many reason why it’s a disappointing game.

I’m a huge Liara fan but she doesn’t come into her own until ME2, specifically the Shadow broker DLC.

I saw Solo long, long after it had come out and the furor had come and gone, so I am supremely confident when I say all these people in the comments saying ‘it was underrated’ are wrong.

It’s shit. It was shit when it came out. It’s shit now. The script is silly, the cinematography is bad, the chemistry between the

There we go.

God but I pray the music in this trailers is just trailer temp tracks, because compared to what Howard Shore did for the Jackson LOTR, this is the most generic, forgettable orchestral nothing.

Of the 156 ships that have been offered in Star Citizen since development began, around 116 are now flyable, with three more coming in the next patch.

Are they fun to fly? From my experience, no. Is it a good game? Again, no. Was it a good investment? Fuck no. But they are, slowly, delivering on those hilariously expens

I don’t own Star Citizen and never spent a cent on it, but I always like to point out that calling it a ‘scam’ is really disengenuous: they have produced a product. It exists! You can go in play it - in fact, I have!

Was it good?

No. Not even a little bit!

I mean that was 2019, maybe it became amazing (people say it has

I realized after I posted this that it sounded like I was letting SC off the hook—Sim City is indeed the origin of this problem, I just think it is better at being a game than Cities Skylines.

Well now that I can understand. That’s principle.

Are people not admitting that? While arguments over the quality of later Rooster Teeth works abound, I don’t think anyone goes around acting like they didn’t end up hiring real animators and become a legit animation company in their own right.

(While I am here: regardless of their individual plots and whether or not

Yeah, you probably aren’t a writer because Jesus Christ the amount of work you’ve just suggested games should pivot to is massive. That sounds like a recipe for a game to have five hundred small shit stories because they had to meet a numbers quota so that every single possible pairing combination has a ‘full plot’.
