Having played the VR version of the game, it’s very obvious that shooting others is not real, but actually killing myself in the game felt incredibly stressful, and felt much more real. It’s one thing to shoot a weird polygonal figure and have it shatter. It’s another thing entirely to actually physically step off a…

There’s a difference between men putting tons of naked women into videogames, and women themselves deciding to do hot-tub streams out of their own free will.

I don’t think that’s weird. It’s not unreasonable to think that the total electricity this farm has used has a much lower environmental impact than just steamrolling the devices without properly recycling them would have.

And now the people who grew up playing these games are the online trolls that got Trump elected.

Most gaming chairs are white-labelled garbage. Companies with well-known brands want to have a product in every category, so they have a Chinese factory stitch their logo on the same shitty chair every other brand is using, and then they market the hell out of it.

I’d bet the profit margins on the OLED are actually smaller than on the original Switch. The original Switch is so old by now that all of its components, particularly the crappy screen, must be dirt cheap.

Imagine playing a Mario game turn based.

Sonic Chronicles was not a good game, though. I bought it because a Sonic RPG seemed like a good idea (Mario RPG worked out well), and it’s from Bioware, duh, but damn... that game was boring. Should have waited for the reviews, I guess.

Yeah, that’s the weird thing about them. They’re kind of bad games in many ways. The last GTA game I really played was IV. I loved some of the writing, I loved the city itself, but the game just plays so badly, and the missions become so repetitive after a while.

 I have an inside source that tells me that GTA 10 will be called GTAX, and will be set on the moon.

I get that it looks like Rare was useless after they got acquired by Microsoft because they never reached the heights they had reached when working with Nintendo, but realistically, Microsoft’s Xbox games lineup would look a lot worse, and a lot less colorful, without Rare. Games like Viva Piñata and Kinect Sports…

While I won’t necessarily disagree with the idea that “most kids run away” is a convenient excuse for cops, it seems implausible that the number of kids who disappear due to being victims of some heinous crime is larger than the number of kids who just run off on their own. There’s like half a million kids reported…

It’s important to be aware of this, but as a matter of personal safety, it’s statistically unlikely that a specific woman living in the United States will be the victim of human trafficking. This seems to me to be one of these cases where being overly cautious will cause more harm than good, needlessly restrict how…

I’m not sure if this perspective makes a lot of sense in this case, though. If people play this because they expect a dating sim, and it turns out to be the thing that it is, how many of these people are going to have a good experience? Probably not too many.

Microsoft isn’t preventing you from buying a controller, and then engraving whatever you want on it. They just don’t want to engrave the controller for you, and sell it including the engraving.

Don’t worry, the bible thumpers are still the best at censoring (and they get actual laws enacted that prevent teaching about racism, prevent schoolbooks from explaining evolution, and prevent kids from receiving sex ed, they don’t just complain about things on Twitter).

I hope the people who took this seriously take a good look at how they went coincidence hunting, and how confirmation bias works, because I feel like this is the same kind of problematic thinking that makes people fall for all kinds of conspiracy theories.

I’m so confused by this. Why exactly were they banned? ASMR is now porn? Horse masks are nudity? I feel like I’m either missing a lot of relevant context here, or Twitch’s ban hammer is completely off the rails.

That’s hilarious. “I don’t want Bill Gates’ murder bots injected into my bloodstream, that’s insane, and everybody who gets vaccinated will be dead and/or mind-controlled by the Illuminati in six months. Oh, I get a new GPU that will be obsolete in five years? Here’s my shoulder, inject me now.”

It is important to note that fangames are, in fact, trademark (and often also copyright) violations, whereas this is not doing anything illegal. It’s unusual (although not unheard of) for a company like Nintendo to go after something that is perfectly legal.
