...Yeah that’s fair.

Yeah, it’s definitely a thing. My wife’s grossed out by shellfish in general. I think being raised near the ocean helped a lot with that, but objectively I can see how eating lobster is kinda gross? Imagine if they lived in trees. Would you still eat ‘em?

(I would!)

As a forced beach-goer as a child (NEVER BE BORN NEAR AN OCEAN TO HIPPIE PARENTS, KIDS!) I immediately identified that “weird black goo” the clam shoots out (heh) as just sand mixed with water.

My wife, on the other hand, was convinced that clams have a large double-tipped-cock appendage specifically for the violent…

Albert you’re a goddamned national treasure. I say this as a Canadian.

As an outside observer, I continue to be amazed at the kinds of things that are matters of life and death to bored teenage girls.

That said; better this than what bored teenage boys get up to. The worst Tumblr hysterics over the grossest possible shit still don’t hold a candle to mid-aughts 4Chan on a good day.

(And…

You ain’t wrong! But that’s also not the whole story. Folks came out of that era whose legacies have still held up fine. Tolkein famously didn’t open the door when antisemitism came knocking, for example, but HP Lovecraft would’ve willingly signed up for that shit regardless of when he was born.

It’s less to do with…

Translation:

“Overwatch is making money hand over fist, and Destiny 2's hype beat out Andromeda’s, so we want some of that instead of more of whatever this turned out to be.”

Reminds me a lot of “Mobile is the future and consoles are going to go away soon” before the PS4 hit, or “PC is dead” before the great Steam…

Question about gay bar culture from a straight dude: Is casual hooking up the primary reason to attend one, or is that just a side effect of explicitly queer-oriented space + serving alcohol? I know this will greatly depend on the place in question, but is there a sorta general consensus around it?

I ask because…

Looks red to me? Admittedly there’s not as much OF it as the first game.

This is the most stupidly, pointlessly over-engineered thing ever and I want one right now.

Look, the guy can form a full sentence without sounding like he’s got a crayon up his nose from when Spicey gave him a coloring book to distract him from tweeting for a few hours. That’s already a step up.

No. You are doing it correctly. The mean streak in me is content to let people cut themselves until they figure it out because WHO THE FUCK PEELS AN AVOCADO WHERE THE SHIT WERE YOU BARBARIANS RAISED, CHRIST.

Oh GOODNESS yes. Great storytelling but holy christ that guy was an absolute fuckstick as a human being and I’m glad he’s dead.

On this subject in particular or just in general? Caitlyn Jenner doesn’t seem to be a big fan of the whole “having coherent thoughts” thing.

Outta curiosity, is this a subject that’s been explored much? The whole “we love your product but you’re kind of a tool and your worldview actively distances people from your creation” problem with the creators’ legacies?

It’s a hell of a topic, if potentially really exhausting to explore.

...Wasn’t there more than one, just one *fertile* one who you actually talked to a lot? Because Genophage? Admittedly it’s been a while so I’m probably wrong on that but I could’ve sworn a few more were walking around as NPCs, especially on Omega...

Still, when they took the veil off, the female krogans just look like…

Cursing is actually okay-ish in a T-rated game as long as it’s not gratuitous. The ESRB has gotten WEIRDLY lax in the past five years or so. Dark Souls II was rated T despite having loads of corpses and blood and corpses and more corpses and zombies and corpses and violence.

Then you go back to 2001 or so and Halo 1…

KROGAN BABBIES oh god my ovaries

I used to love those things, I really did. Just recently I tried to pick one back up and out-loud muttered to myself “what the fuck?”

Apparently I just assumed in my young age that video game controllers were supposed to be uncomfortable as shit to hold.

ALSO, LUKE: I take umbrage to your assertion in the “DS3 was bad”…
