I hate watching two entities who suck shit and feeling like I need to side with the one who, in the immediate present, sucks less because it is more profitable to suck less than the other entity (i.e. rather than from any moral stance).

Wow it’s terrible in its own distinct, awful way.

Because I don’t understand why they like it. I played that first game, I saw nothing there that would make me want a sequel much less than five or six sequels and the spin-offs and a feature film. I found nothing there but I see people go “oh I loved watching fartnuzzled_56 twitch stream this as a small child before…

And it sucks!

Playing something like Shadows of War and then switching to games with stamina systems (or games like HZD where nothing that looks free-climbable actually is) is like have your arms cut off.

I should be able to parkour these buildings in MGSV, damnit. Stamina add no measurable joy to BOTW - nobody ever went ‘man it’s…

“ Imagine if there was a guy you could talk to at the beginning of BotW or TotK who just gave you unlimited stamina.”

That sounds fucking great the stamina system is joyless.

Everyone’s giving. you shit but having played all three games I always found Gerrolt to be a miserable sod who runs around a miserable world having a miserable time.

“Emersion” sits comfortably alongside “balance” for me as terms that get shouted out a lot by completely unhinged people who would hate an actually emersive game and be miserable playing a ‘perfectly’ balanced one.

(But then I’ve long joked that the only fighting game that would ever truly appeal to fighting game fans…

“it still has some of the best exploration in the series” Unless you realize there is nothing to ind by vendor trash you don’t need because you can have completely unlocked everything you want or need by the time you hit midgame and then stop bothering because there’s no interesting characters or special surprises…

And also that the PvE was functionally cancelled as far back as 2021.

Fuck don’t remind me. I had to replace my keyboard with a giant clunker and its fucked my typing worse that usual.

Her TV space-girlfriend definitely murdered those hostages, including the kid, right? Feel like we don’t talk about that enough.

“And he seemed to have a particular grudge against creatives, an odd position for someone who purposefully entered the creative-driven comic book publishing business.”

No. That’s not odd at all. Comics execs have always treated creators like complete dog shit, which is why so much of the golden and silver age comic…

The alst time I took my friend to the mvoies, on a Tuesday ‘cheap’night, i bought the tickets, he bought the popcorn. It bith cost us something like 25 bucks.

Movies theatres can die. I am totally oaky with this given how much they want to gouge me for such a crummy experience.

Nothing makes me feel older than the fucking massive scope and affection for Five Nights at Freddy’s. It speaks to a seemingly insurmountable generational gap, like stanning white vtubers with baby voices or thinking it is morally acceptable to film in portrait mode.

Ever since The Mandalorian decided its purpose was to be a vehicle for ‘its that guy!’ cameos and wrapping-up old Clone Wars plot threads instead of charting its own path the writing nose dived. It’s not an edgy or even uncommon opinion: the reaction has not been kind.

Other Space. Hrmmm. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time...


... back when Trace Beaulieu and Joel Hodgson still spoke to one-another.

As someone who bought the royal edition really sad I have to pay for this, when one of the ‘included’ DLCs was a crummy Viking Bullshit pack.

Saccarine Capitalist Tripe Simp is just too much of a mouthful.

Ah, yes.
