Let’s get just one thing straight;

For me personally, my issue with Persona 5's take on sexual relationships isn’t about who you can romance (indulging in fictional, consensual relationships with age differences doesn’t really bother me.) It’s about how many of the women you can romance, and about how Persona 5 strips all these women (who presumably…

Technically, later in her Confidant Link you learn that those ‘special favors’ were of an ambiguously sexual nature (massages? kisses? who knows?) but not actually sex.

Makoto’s the best.

Is there really a backlash, though?

Man, I hate the fact that I can’t feel like a genuine critic of Mass Effect Andromeda for what I perceive to be a poor first half-dozen hours (not just in terms of animations, but the story is horrendously lackluster) without feeling tangentially associated with these bigoted jerks. I had the same problem with Mass…

I’m just saddened that NieR Automata — actually my favorite game released this month so far, and I’ve tried Horizon and Zelda too — seems to have been lost in the shuffle.

The original NieR title for PS3 was *absurdly* difficult to Platinum. Frankly, I prefer this over the alternative because now I can just play the game three times instead of waiting real-time weeks for the right flowers to grow in my backyard to acquire those pesky trophies.

Well, okay, let’s play Devil’s Advocate then: If Trump’s team wasn’t actively colluding with Russian intelligence during the campaign, why would Trump’s Administration cover for Flynn when presented with evidence that Flynn lied to his boss regarding contacting Russia?

They’re still digging up evidence before they’re making a definitive claim either way on whether anyone on Trump’s team colluded with Russia.

Sure, I suppose you can define anti-authoritarianism as a political stance. Maybe I should’ve said this sort of action shouldn’t be perceived as politically *controversial* in a democratic Republic like America.

I hate Paul Ryan with a fiery passion, but I’ll take him as President over Trump in a heartbeat, no questions asked, and I’d expect him to just be another George W. Bush with conventionally crappy and offensively bigoted right-wing policy initiatives. We can survive that for four years, though. It’ll be awful, but it…

I love how all the Trump supporters in the comments who are ‘appalled’ at Gizmodo expressing something vaguely akin to a political bias (gasp!) can’t recognize that Donald Trump is, at this point, far beyond the traditional left / right divide in Washington discourse.

So, uhh, by the logic of right-wing zealots like Donald Trump, shouldn’t we be ethnically profiling Caucasians in countries like the United States and Canada?

It’s remarkable how all these different developers appear to have simultaneously felt the urge to go open-world with their flagship titles, but CDPR somehow got their hands on a time machine and was able to bring a game from 2020 back to 2015. That’s my only rational explanation for Witcher 3 being so far ahead of the…

If anything, the goddamn Broncos are the Patriots’ kryptonite; the Ravens still have a ways to go to match them.

Thank God for Bernie Sanders and all, but where are the rest of the Democrats these days? Why does it feel like all the Democratic leadership aside from Bernie are just trying to find bunkers to hide in for the next four years?

A part of me agrees with you that suicide is never the answer, but a part of me is really, really concerned about what the job market is going to be like for unemployed people like me once the Trump win sends us all spiraling into a global recession, and Trump’s going to destroy any security net I could possibly rely…

My theory is that a Cubs World Series win would be a sign of the apocalypse, basically guaranteeing that Donald Trump will win the Presidency this year and descend America into a nuclear war to satiate his enormous ego.

Facts are stubborn things.
