I would say it’s quite likely, there is a long precedent of great writer/artist going hand in hand with being a really shirty human being. of course it sounds like he got the also incredibly common combo of mediocre artist and shirty human

You’re not alone, my first thought was that Kelly has never had anything but factory farmed turkeys cooked to oblivion.

I don’t think it’s inconsistent at all, he was willing to sacrifice his health for a title run. He’s just going to another situation where that’s possible.

You’re not, but I also absolutely love horror. what always amazed me, was how consequences free violence is OK, but as soon as you start to show slightly more realistic results of action violence it becomes verboten. I can’t be the only one who thinks bloodless pg-13 violence to be far worse than films which more…

AndDenise Richards celebrates for no longer being the worst part of a verhoevian dystopia

That’s literally every industry with high pressure, tight deadlines, and a salaried rather than hourly workforce. not saying it’s right, but it’s far from an exclusively games industry issue.

I’m quite happy to throw down money on cosmetics....just look on my credit card bills for riot games...but only when I can get what it is I want. Make a cool cosmetic and I’ll buy it, but I’m not going to throw cash at a random chance for it. instead of getting $5-$15 of my cash, you’re getting none if it.

That’s what the multiple tiers of product are for, the gold editions, collectors editions, digital delux, etc....are all ways of raising the defector price past $60. and of they still feel the need for more, let me buy directly, not gamble

Yup, sell me the cosmetic I want, not slot machine. it’s funny, riot let’s you buy what you want and they have no shortage of income, and I’ve personally spent $300 plus, whereas overwatch, which was so much fun got none of KY money because I couldn’t spend money for the skins I want

Haha, a couple of years ago I was driving to NYC from Rochester for work and got caught in a blizzard that shut down the thruway with a belly full of plate....longest day of my life

Sure, and it was also Reagan’s policies that largely put us on this unsustainable path of ‘economic growth’ that we’ve been subscribed to ever since. I’ll care about growth when it’s real wages growing, not the market, which reflects reality less and less every day.

Brag wasn’the right word, but there is very much a type of guy who will be a bit too happy to share how much they love to eat pussy. typically expecting headpats for it.

To be fair, men who read jez are almost certainly right in the center of the Venn diagram of men who eat pussy and men who brag about eating pussy. so, you’re not wrong, but also fish+barrel!=shocked

Fan service in and of itself is not neccesarily wrong. The fact they allow you to opt-out of it tells me they’re doing it right. options are almost never a bad thing.

On the flip side, while a concern from a viewer may be valid, that doesn’t neccesarily mean maliciousness, ill-intent, or even anything wrong from the cause of said concern. it’s a tightrope, no doubt.

Sure, except for the initial investment. Speaking for myself, id find their monetization perfectly fine if it wasn’t entirely loot box based. if I want a skin, just let me Fucking buy it. the gambling aspect is why it’s so bad imo.

Readingyour comment makes me so thankful for my mom being as amazing as she is. When I was 16 or so, it was the Warner brothers 75th anniversary and they were showing Clockwork at the local Indy theater. My friend and I wanted to see it, but our moms made the rules. We could see it, but we had to read the book first,…

Please tell me uwe boll for fitzcaraldo is a next level joke and I’m being overly attached fanboy.

True, but decades of republic education policy and budget cuts are a pretty good explanation for stupidity.

I can also see it as a way to help people new to the genre stick with it, and not quit out of frustration...if I keep trying I’ll get items that’ll help me out without completely breaking the game
