Those are great!

110% agreed. I loved this game, and, as ever, kinda went nuts in photo mode.

I failed my 50/50 and got Diluc again. Can’t really complain about beefing up his constellations, but...sigh. (I still don’t have Keqing, either. Argh.)

Forever amused that Nintendo was founded in the same year that Washington became a state.

The moral of this story: gamers REALLY like high scores.

The Jesus

“BioWare will no longer require employees to relocate to either its Austin or Edmonton locations.”

Searching your own brain, anyway.

Fraser. Frasier? Frazer.

I started playing XIII-2 pretty much at release and then, for whatever reason, stopped very early on. By the time I came back to it, it was after I’d started watching Critical Role, and that immediately made everything hilarious, because every time Caius opened his damn mouth, all I could hear was Liam pretty much…

I’m sure the fact that it’s a character literally named after one of the game’s writers has nothing to do with THAT...

Yeah, my first time through (read: day one playthrough), I got stuck on the Miranda/Jack dispute, and Jack drew the short straw. ME is, as a general rule, not kind to people who don’t stick to one side of the line and STAY THERE.

My favorite part of the E.T. thing: M&Ms/Mars turned them down, and so it went to Reese’s Pieces, which had a HUGE sales uptick after the movie. M&Ms may not have needed the boost, but Reese’s sure benefitted from the opportunity.

I got my PS5 that way. I signed up with Sony, heard back within a couple weeks, ordered mine, and had it three days later. Timeframes on availability of course may vary (especially this close to the holidays), but the process itself is pretty much painless and Sony’s really fast with shipping.

bless you for saying so.

White here, but also a female avatar. The very first thing anyone ever said to me in Home was a teenage boy telling me he wanted to bend me over and fuck me up the ass. So welcoming, right?

“waivered” feels like a bit of a Freudian slip, there.

To be fair, there’s a ton of construction going on around the Microsoft and Nintendo buildings right now, and it would be really easy to get turned around and end up at the wrong building.

Maybe. A friend of mine’s husband has been working at Nintendo for years (yes, I know, but it’s legit) and at least in the pre-COVID world, they were NOT keen on remote work. He told me once how difficult it was to get approved for it and how strict Nintendo’s policies were. A large part of it was about maintaining…

Yes, it’s a startup, with all that that implies: if you get in on the ground floor, you have a chance for massive success later, but no one else who comes in later is ever going to have quite the same set of opportunities.
