What I really dig about the Sonic movies is they are They Did The Thing: The Movie. It’s not “Here’s a Resident Evil movie with no RE characters, story, or settings from RE” or “Here’s a Final Fantasy movie with nothing FF in it.” It’s a movie with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Robotnik (I’m not calling him Eggman!)…

Screw Superman, make a good Iron Man game already. He’s a great character, and the fact that he uses a tech-based armor (or rather dozens of versions of it) lends itself extremely well to a video game. Seriously... HOW IS THERE NO AAA IRON MAN GAME YET????

I’ve been playing this game for the last few days, and I’m definitely missing the simplicity of the original LEGO Star Wars game. In the first LEGO Star Wars game, everything was designed around a simple, easy-to-navigate hub-world. In the first game the hub-world was the goofy 50's Coruscant Diner from Attack of the…

This excuse of having a bad day is bullshit. I’m sorry. I’ve had absolutely rotten days. I’ve insulted people when they piss me off. Not once have I ever thought to use sexist or racist insults to hurt them. I’m sorry, if you scream that a “female is talking to you” and tell her to do the dishes, then you’re a sexist.…

Now here’s an idea with some merit.

Might as well just ban all streamers just to be safe

The problem is that they want people to hear them, both in the game and externally, because then they earn ‘rep’. There is a large community out there that finds verbal abuse funny, enough to earn someone 6.9 million subscribers.

easiest solution to trash talk: mute your damn mic. I get that trash talk can be a stress relief but forcing people on your team or in the match to hear your whiny man baby shit is awful.

“Master Skywalker we don’t have the character to reach the kybers, what are we gonna do?”

“Hey Kids! Want to help me access a hidden area of the Jedi Temple?”

I will say, as a Brazilian, it was extremely wholesome to watch the Brazil subreddit team up with the Argentina subreddit to keep both flags up. Iirc, they even put a world cup trophy between both flags, as though sharing the trophy together.

They look close enough to me. The Mega Drive ones are accurate when you consider that they're presumably based in Brazil, and that's how the boxes looked there.

Me: “Ooh, let’s check out the comments section and see how long it took for the conversation to oscillate between vilifying and lionizing Musk... that didn’t take long!”

Honestly though, Polytopia is a fun little game.  Grabbed me for a little while and I suspect it could, again, in short spurts here and there. 

Absolutely love BoP. Been championing it for years, especially since it's hit Steam. Why? BC it's a very dumbed down, quick game of Civ. It has some depth, but yeah. 

This was a fun little strategy game to play on my phone.  Its a shame this is gonna make people equate it with him and therefore hate it unnecessarily.

It's pretty damn enjoyable. Definitely not very challenging though. Multiplayer is fun too

“The Battle of Polytopia is a civilization simulator in which you control one of twelve different “tribes.” You try to expand the territory of your empire by collecting resources, exploring uncharted territory, and destroying rival civilizations. In short, it’s the exact sort of game that might appeal to a white…

I think we’ve reached the point where the only thing worse then Elon Musk fanboys who will defend him for anything are Elon Musk critics who will take every opportunity to bash anything he mentions, including innocuous things like a charming little indie video game that first came out over six year ago for Android and…

I’ve been playing it throughout the pandemic and it is perfect for an early morning, mid-day, or just before bed distraction. Yes it is super simple and has a retro-block aesthetic, but it scratches an old school CIV itch in me just the right way for a mobile game that takes a few minutes to play (at most).

I’m really not a Musk fan, and I get that this article is more of a takedown on inequality, globalism and/or late stage capitalism but Polytopia is pretty special.
