You joke but for whatever reason Bethesda is obsessed with churning out games that don’t hit their core audience.

Like, fine Todd Howard, we get it, making ES6 takes a shitton of time, but taking old id IPs and reinventing them or spinning out a generic looking MMO with the skyrim UI slapped onto it doesn’t really…

As I replied to the other guy who wrongly interpreted my note, single payer is fine if you find a way to pay for it, and the standard talking points on the left side of the aisle don’t fucking work if you’re balancing the maths.

I’m fully for single-payer so long as we pay for it with a VAT (again, the way everyone else properly pays for it).

The system we have now doesn’t work, but people are advocating for single payer without a clue as to how to properly finance it. You can’t get single payer into a congressional bill without finding the…

The problem is how you pay for it. “Medicare” for all sounds great until you realize that medicare taxes would have to go way, way, way up, which hits salaried workers hard but doesn’t touch the richest of the rich due to the way they accumulate wealth. “Single payor” also sounds great until, wait, how the fuck do we…

The relationship between PUBG Corp. and Epic in terms of PUBG Corp.’s development was a lot more complicated than Epic would like to admit.

Think there’s a bit more to Epic’s copying than pure genre. Game mechanics are effectively identical, other than PUBG’s modular weapon system swapped out for FNBR’s building mechanics.

It’s no accident that, for example, FNBR doesn’t allow health to be healed above 75% w/o medkits (like PUBG...) and FNBR’s bandages and…

By all accounts, it’s Bungie who have been almost entirely responsible for Destiny’s debacle, including jamming microtransactions everywhere. I know it’s cool to hate on EA/Activision, but consistently it turns out the dev is really the bad guy here.

Clash of clans was the original offender here. There are people (not one, not two, but several dozen) who have spent literally millions on CoC.

Mobile gaming is honestly shit pure shit.

Gotta be honest - this is unwatchable. Maybe for OW fans this looks fun but as someone who has only casually played OW, this looks horrible. At least in CSGO, I can tell relatively easily what’s going on, and the same goes for PUBG’s tournaments.

This is so fidgety, and there’s so much going on, that there’s no way to…

It’s actually sad. Yeah, I get it, it’s Splinter/Gawker, whatever and feeling any sympathy for people that “we dislike” is anathema, but fuck it - this is genuinely sad. This guy has spent the better part of his professional career being the bagman for unsavory fucks because at some point, some time, he thought he…

Technically there are FCC regs that limit FB’s ability to do it. I’m not a communications act lawyer but there’s more nuance to it than there normally would be with a private business.

Pretty sure we are not going to agree so I’m not sure why I’d waste my time.

right over your head.

There’s a few factors at play -

1) It’s free and it’s on every console. This is the single largest factor - it costs nothing so anybody can get in on it and it’s on console which massively opens up its userbase.

2) It blew up when PUBG was going through its worst growing pains with cheating and bugginess. PUBG is now…

If you don’t think MSFT and 343 have done exhaustive research to figure out the pros and cons of a Halo PC release you are a dumbass. They’ve clearly determined it’s not in their best interests which is why they haven’t pursued it.

how the shit did u get starred what the fuck

Not gonna lie this is one of the most singularly bizarre yet compelling news stories this month. Pure wtf.

She’s saying they’re not having sex anymore because all he does is game for 4+ hours a night. In other words, it’s not once, twice, three times or four times a week, it’s 0. Fuck this guy, he needs to get his act together.

So, I like to play videogames, but I’m also mindful of the unforgettable prose of R Kelly (yes, *that* R Kelly) in “I’m a Flirt”:

Isn’t this the dude who made his office into a sexual harassment dungeon with a locked door button on his desk? Besides actual reincarnation as, idk, a wrench or a bottle of water what other kind of redemption do you seek after that
