I’ve come to really admire Yoshi P for his work on FFXIV but honestly, every single time he opens his mouth to talk about XVI he says the worst things, or at least says them in the worst ways. My desire to try this game has dropped to zero over the last few months - and I’m not a PC player or anything.

It’s just a troll doing the same weird little troll dance because they’re mad cartoons acknowledge gay people openly now.

I have always detested Scooby and always bounced off every version of Scooby-Doo that I have been told is ‘really good’ because the world’s most exhaustingly stupid talking dog is in it.

No, see, because I grew up with guns safely and I have warm fuzzies about ol’ grandpappy and guns, therefore we can’t just take away the guns because I personally am a good person and what about my needs? If the price of me keeping my warm fuzzy safe relationship with guns is a child gun-death rate found nowhere else i

Noted TERF Rhonda Rousey would caucus with the Republicans.

Can’t wait for all of these to be unceremoniously cancelled regardless of reception.

I hate Brotherhood, so that’s not a ringing endorsement.

(Okay, okay, it’s fine, but I bail because it takes everything I loved about the original FMA and condenses it down into a rushed little ball so it can go do other stuff, thus ripping what I feel is the emotional heart out of the early story. And I could not give

Given how histories of this time will likely be framed almost completely by the total inability of the governing class to effect meaningful climate change policy that would have softened the blow that will land on those future historians: no, she will not. I suspect the last twenty years of politicians will, on the

God, Kotaku needs editors again. Can’t believe this website would let something go to print in which Commander Shepard was referred to as a ‘he.’

I ran into the exact same problem when I finally beat FFX a few months ago. I was so into it, and then I bounced off X-2 hard, despite remembering likng it long ago.

Part of the problem is that the UI is utterly hideous. A simply inexplicable collection of ugly colours and poor layout.

I feel like the new film grasped the scope, scale, and stifling baroque stagnation of the Dune universe, but whiffed every single emotional beat in the novel. every potential moment of human connection is rushed through so quickly to get back to some jaw-dropping visual that you’d be forgiven for not realizing the

When I worked for a company that did online articles, I would always have to go back and revise them to make sure we were hitting of SEO targets no matter how burdensome it was on the flow and tone of the writing. Mario Maker is fairly anodyne, really - it’s when you get burdensome corporate jargon phrases that you

“... if you’ve been out of the loop...” It’s not so much ‘out of the loop’ as it seems to be impossible to keep up with the specifics of every single daily inappropriate behaviour scandal(s) of male streamers and content creators.

... oh, you’re not talking about the Julie Taymor, Anthony Hopkins Hsakespeare adaptation Was real puzzled there for. moment.

I didn’t read it as sarcastic, more resigned. Let me put it like this: one of the best MST3K episodes has several school shooting jokes because in the 90s school shootings weren’t a daily occurrence that the state was seemingly powerless to stop. They were rare: so rare that one could be flippant without it being read

You fry-up a pan of bacon and pecans, take them out of the pan, brown Brussels sprouts in the bacon fat along with a generous helping of maple syrup, roast for thirty minutes, add the bacon and nuts back in, add a little more maple syrup, and put back in until things start to get carmelized and crispy.

If people aren’t

That’s really interesting, because over the course of the movie I didn’t connect with her arc until after the movie was over and I dreamed-up five better versions of it while putting my coat on.

Filming the entirety of Ironheart’s homemade suit in near-total darkness so you can’t see it clearly for a single moment... this film has dethroned Captain Marvel as the hardest Marvel film to comprehend visually because it’s so poorly lit and framed.

Joke’s on you I can’t afford PS Plus.

Hrmm. Alright. I don’t think I agree with that line of reasoning, but I understand it. Thank you for humouring a snippy internet rando.
