I mean it’s subjective at this point but I generally find the original more enjoyable than the boring-ass copy/paste DICE game that is the new one. That it was this good from the start rather than trying to bilk as much money out of suckers from launch as possible makes it that much better.

2005 Battlefront II is arguably superior than the newer iteration. No lootboxes and actually worked from Day 1.

Enh, when this happened it wasn’t known yet that they were any more toxic than other fighting game fandoms; of course we now know it was a dump truck just stuffed to the brim with predators, but back then there’s no way Nintendo was aware.

Man, I thought that style looked familiar. Makes me so nostalgic, loved the Gran and ND Stevenson era of long-form webcomics and so pumped they’re continuing to put out great work.

The only time I’ve ever been actively happy about a movie making a billion dollars, and a Disney film no less, was when it came in the form of a billion middle fingers right in the faces of the haters.

I need need need need need her to play Xena. She looks identical to Lucy Lawless. She knows how to fight. Despite being American her voice somehow already sounds like a Kiwi putting on an American accent. Give her the keys!

Who could’ve guessed that Blizzard is slacking when it comes to providing support?

Can’t stop myself.

I guess I have to say welcome or you’ll turn me into a spoon.

I don’t do it for the thanks.

Buddy, the whole world is my fan club.

As a pessimist a few comments back I’ll give you some optimism. My late grandfather, who was born in the Depression and ornery all his life, a guy who got short-tempered with waiters and was old school religious, was out of nowhere incredibly progressive and was an avid supporter of trans rights. Like, my cousin is…

Sure, I guess my point is that I’ve seen so many cis folks trying to make it about them (and, as a librarian, so much media about trans folks from cis sources) that I’m all about my people maybe backing off a bit and being actual allies. Obviously plenty of cis folks are doing just that, but hoo boy am I done with…

It’s better than hate for sure, but I’m good literally never hearing about cis folks’ opinions on trans folks again. In nearly 32 years I’ve yet to hear a take about the trans experience from one of us that’s been even a little bit compelling.

Well I’m a cis person who approves of this because I’m a Very Good Person. Let the unending adulation for my heroism begiiiiiiiiin!

For me it wasn’t about fear or paranoia but just not wanting to waste my time. Like, I didn’t jump off the other ledges at the beginning when ghosts said there were prizes below, why in the world would I assume that the thirtieth trolly message to leap to my death in the first five minutes of the game was actually a…

In other news, Blizzard is quietly looking for options to sell off the 45,000 Overwatch-themed Fidget Spinners it purchased in 2017

“Don’t blame me, I voted Nixon” was a phrase I threw around whenever Cuomo messed up, it’s very fun to say to folks who don’t get the context.
