“If there was a hero shooter with these guys, I don’t think I’d play anything else.”

So you’d think these animals are cute and adorable and you want to play a game where you strive to shoot them in the head?

No, you fought a war to allow local landlords and slave owners to operate independently from distant landlords and slave owners.

I picked up Destiny 2 at the start of the Pandemic, but since for technical reasons I could only play through (shudder) Stadia, i didn’t stick around long. A few months ago with a new console I decided to give it a second go, and discovered that the recent updates had made the game ten time more hostile to the new…

I’m not any less visually impaired at the dentist office, subway, or in the bathroom.

Why would I watch Netflix on my phone? I have screens actually capable of displaying visual data at a scale I can process.

Got mid-way through the third episode, and my summation is really that Sandman-the-show is bad in the same ways Incredibles 2 was bad. Nothing in it is objectionable: it’s well-cast, it’s competently shot, the effects are not egregiously awful, the story beats are clear, the pacing is smooth, but it has absolutely noth…

... there was a 2018 Tomb Raider movie?

‘Slimeball main character’ is a general crisis point in the anime/manga/video game sphere. Can’t count the number of shows or games I’ve bailed on because the MC was either a fucking creep, or stood around and did nothing when interacting with fucking creeps.

Oh thank god somebody said it.

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…

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.

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…
