I keep looking at Dead Cells on the eShop and I keep not buying it. Sounds like I may be in error here...?

I can only hope you’re being totally sincere. 🙄

When I beat my first run I literally ran around my living room out of happiness! It was the most pure happiness I'd felt from a game in a very long time! 

It’s interesting that as games become larger, more immersive, and more technically superior, they seem to be generating less “joy.” I can’t be the only one who looks at a map full of stuff, or some more grinding, and feels a sense of anxiety. All of this focus on Games as a Service and games that live for years, and…

“Witch hunt! No Trasnfusion!!!”

I honestly don’t think I could consider a game an all-time favorite UNLESS I’ve fallen asleep playing it.

eh I wouldnt say that. honestly some people just play games till exaustion and passing out simpily because they wouldn’t have time otherwise because jobs and obligations. That or just go for marathon sessions. I know Ive passed out playing games I consider my all time favorites.

Yeah, I need to defend this part of it too. I frequently fall asleep playing games, and it has nothing to do with quality or entertainment value. Simply m y work/life schedule doesn’t permit me to sit down and relax till 11PM most nights, and I need to be up at 5:30-6 AM to get the kids ready for daycare and me for…

Sometimes you’re comfy on the couch, and it happens. You're already a little sleepy, just want to close your eyes for a second while it loads and BAM. It's an hour later

Rich can assume his readers are going to bring up the penis testimony inconsistency, so his question about it is entirely logical, not an example of taking Jackson’s side. Ditto with the question about whether Jackson’s bizarre childhood could innocently explain his need to be close to children. These are both…

Agree, this was really excellent reporting and a fascinating read, congrats to Jennings.  And hopefully it will do some good; the subject better straighten up and fly right before someone is harmed by his quackery.

The “he didn’t have a childhood” excuse is stupid, but I really do wonder what happened to him as a kid.

My parents live in a house without a dishwasher, which makes me appreciate mine even more whenever I go home to visit. I have three easy steps for washing dishes by hand in the sink:

It’s pretty easy to tell “what race a person comes from” when they attack anything that isn’t white, or question why anyone would ever want to talk about race (or any other state of being) in games.

It’s called an implicit message—or a subtext—that reveals much more about the writer/speaker than they may intend to…

I’ve long been of the opinion that Critical Thinking needs to be a course taught in middle school, if not 5th grade. Schools do a great job at telling you what to think, but they do a terrible job of teaching you how to think. Part of the problem is that it would seem to undercut the authority of the teacher or the…

Yay, you beat Logarius!! Way to go.

Bloodborne is possibly the best game ever and hands down the best of this gen imo. I’m hoping sekiro is close. In a world of lenient ratings it actually earns a 10/10 - there isn’t a single aspect or detail of the game I would change other than having more of it all.

that being straight white folks—who haven’t yet figured out that equality doesn’t require that they actually lose anything.

I have read many articles by you Gita and you have never seemed angry or trying to bait any one, I hope you keep writing about race and gender. I look forward to your next article, this was a very good read.

Your pieces always give me something to think about and I agree that it’s important to both:
