i want to enjoy final fantasy vii, but want them to remove speheroth.

I hated Eric from the first conversation, but I guess we’re supposed too. I actually didn’t like Sunder either. I knew he was just a fuck boi pretending to be sincere. Valeria seems sweet, but seems like she moves too fast. I wasn’t down with any of Rowan’s angsty non-binary goth bullshit. Sawyer just didn’t click…

The descriptions of this game and the furor around it breaks my brain.

Yeah, having played the game, he’s really fundamental to the core plot. The overall narrative of boyfriend dungeon is man vs. self, and Eric represents a narrative complication/challenge to that in how he is trying to exert control over you.

I literally JUST finished watching her video.

This is everything I hate about gaming culture in a nutshell. A reasonable request (a more explicit warning) turned into a harassment campaign against someone for doing their job (hate and threats sent to the voice actor).

The inability of these people to clearly separate fiction from reality is alarming. It reminds me of Wyatt Russell being harassed over the actions of the fictional character he played in Falcon & Winter Soldier. What is their goal? Do they just want stories with no villains and no characters that ever do bad things?

This is the dumbest discourse. The concept of villains in fiction shouldn’t be “cancelled.” Just because someone voices a villainous character, it doesn’t mean they condone their villainous actions. 

So basically a less badass John Goodman.

I watched this with my kids, and my youngest was dazzled by the music and colors while the oldest was pointing out the levels he’d played in Forces, Mania, and Adventure 1 and 2. It was a family affair at my house and we loved it.

As someone with ADHD who suffers very much from time blindness, I can assure you I am anything but lazy and inconsiderate. I am often the first person to anything because I have to overcompensate for it. Please remember that some people struggle with what comes naturally for you.

One thing I will share, as this has been a huge issue for my wife and me, is that my wife being on the pill thinned her vaginal wall to such a degree that sex became astronomically painful for her. She suffered with this for multiple years and went to many specialists and did a variety of unique, and often painful, tre…

We might disagree, but I’m not arguing in bad faith.

How much money is on a $2000 check?

Lot of people chomping the hook on the $600+$1400 = $2000, but I know what you meant. It wasn’t “2000" total in checks, it was “we’re sending you $2000 checks.” Super frustrating that this got retconned, makes me feel kinda nuts when there were ads of $2000 checks. Like, check this tweet from Ossof in December:

My point was less about who’s to blame for the current relief progress, and more about using something to win votes that, as you’ve explained, isn’t within his power to fullfill. (I know politicians do this all the time but this one felt worse to me, just because of the rhetoric used in his campaign. Listen to some of…

I couldn’t stand Trump and I’m not expecting hard hitting political journalist from Kotaku, so nothing against this article or anything. (I know it’s just in good fun) But this is such a great example of what the next 4 years in the media is going to look like for Biden.

In 2019 the movie industry made $41 billion and the music industry made $19 billion.
Video games made $152 billion.

I wouldn’t vote for a Libertarian or a Republican. Would’ve voted for Sanders had he won either primary.
