Oxenfree is easily my favorite indie game from last year. And second only behind Horizon: Zero Dawn overall. Excellent game.

This doesn’t make sense, insistence on affirmative consent actually eliminates the need for cues of not consent. Your insistence on explicitly denying consents is literally the opposite view of affirmative consent. Millennial are not being inconsistent.

I agree, but we also need to teach boys to be aware of other people’s comfort/discomfort so that it is obvious to them as men.

Honestly, though, in all these complaint screeds, this one included, all I see is how Destiny has always sucked/never quite got it right. Why is this their favorite game, if it’s never been good?

My most unpopular gaming opinion: FF VIII is my favorite FF game, hands down. I love the story. I actually called a friend, upset, when Rinoa gets arrested, and I was in my 20s. Longest frickin’ end credits, though, which I absolutely had to sit through. Just to be sure.

Ok, let’s figure this out. In D1 a 3oC got you one increased chance for an exotic. If you didn’t get it, use another. The average get had to be lower than one per coin. In D2, use a coin get an increased chance for four hours. Get an exotic? Great. Do more things, get more chances. If you get one exotic per coin,…

“So I did something I hadn’t done in long time and played all day and all night yesterday. I went through 4 3oC timers with different buff combinations and each one yielded zero exotics.

You’ve said, so much more eloquently than I think I could, exactly what I was thinking. I found the way Poe was treated in this movie surprising. Star Wars took the (sorta) new Han Solo character and made all of his bets bad ones. Rather than get lucky with one in a million ideas, we get garbage. The “mean” admiral…

“And if you don’t play with people, it’s a very different game, it’s much less interesting, it’s much less fun.”

Meanwhile, Horizon: Zero Dawn’s dlc is amazing.

I know Destiny is a FPS/Action game, but it has just enough RPG vibe, that I want it to be that. And I admit, when. I can, I treat it as such. The factions are one of the few chances to do it. And as you point out, Dead Orbit actually has a modicum of personality. When I picked Dead Orbit last time, I didn’t do it to…

“The other way of looking at it is darker. If we work from the premise that Hobbes is imaginary, then Calvin has found his solace in talking to a stuffed tiger. And when he plays Calvinball he’s alone, with only an imaginary friend to keep him company.”

Yeah, I heard this noise earlier today. If people could transform into a thunderbird and call down lightning, they might have some sort of argument to make. But if guns don’t kill people, then video games sure as hell don’t blow up pipelines.

Some Destiny 2, some Final Fantasy Mobius, and some Culdcept, which I just found out was released for th 3ds

This is me in a nutshell. I have spent far more than I care to think about.

Gita, thank you for this : “A lot of interesting ideas proposed, but not fulfilled. And yet, despite this mountain of complaints. I can’t bring myself to say that the movie is bad.”

Luke’s response is so tone deaf.

On the theory that Final Fantasy VIII’s Squall dies at the end of Disc 1 when he’s stabbed by Edea’s ice spear and that the rest of the game is his dream: 

Takes me back to when my mom explained how D&D was a gateway to satanism and Star Wars was trying to replace God with The Force.

I’ve logged about 90 hours. Still have stuff to do, though I have finished the main story. (I dragged my feet finishing it because I didn’t want it to end.) The last scene we get with Aloy really tugged at me emotionally. I am in love with everything about this game. Nothing but kudos for Gonzalez’s writing. I…
