Competitive gaming and the feeling of superiority at any cost.  Winning is more important than the way you win.  And, if you change what ‘winning’ means, you can justify anything.  If winning means making someone’s day worse, cheats are a perfect way to do that.

I still think GTAV also feels like a warning, though. Originally, a single-player focused game that became a money printer. So, no single-player expansion DLC. Likely delayed new games and innovation, even in other titles the company released.

Yeah, at this point in time there really does need to be something that says it is good if the person is streaming this thing.  But, I think that would involve too much work, and the automated strikes would have to be manually reviewed.  Because, you know, Blue Swede was playing but was the streamer actually playing…

Somewhere towards the end of Sims 2, it became apparent that there was real money in releasing barebones entry titles, and selling continual packs for years before moving into the next series of barebones titles.

That’s the line used when you really want to say, “I know better than you about what is good for you.”

Same shit said when flags were being planted across the world.

It isn’t hard to lose goodwill, even if it takes a long time to earn it.  How is this a hard concept?

Uh, that he’d... um... hold up more flags with LGBTs for TRUMP on it.  Yeah, that’s it.

You misunderstood him. He loves (money from) all people, no matter their orientation.

I dunno.  Star Trek Online is a weirdly right-leaning fanbase for what is a super left-leaning premise.

I’ve just finished up a week of work after telling my department that I was transferring to another department for a 30% raise. After what felt like a reaction to an actual apocalypse, and them finally doing all the things they should have been doing for six months; I’ve been working my ass off for the past week.

I’m glad I also cannot think of Solomon Grundy without thinking about that line.

I’m this type of person.  I was a crafter in SW Galaxies, sat around in cantinas and talked.  Not even RP’ing most times, just talked.  Combat is often something I begrudgingly do in these games at the best of times.

It’s like they were so close to actually getting a good point across about pressure and mental health, but wanted to use the ‘I know, I’m sorry’ line.

Man, it had been forever since I’d played ME1 before Legendary.

I had about 10 minutes of hype for Biomutant a few years ago, during a video about weapon customization.

At first glance, for whatever reason, I read Koei Tecmo.

Girlfriend works someplace where Kotaku is blocked for ‘games content’, so I forget to send her the source link a lot and send her the Kotaku article.

4th scenario of Gloomhaven for a few hours on Saturday, and Mass Effect for the rest of the hours this weekend.

Absolutely. I’ll be picking Engineer, Earth, Hero; romancing Ashley... making all the same decisions.

Same with Mpow, really.  Cheap products that are worth what you spend on them.  Really the only thing they are competing with price-wise in most cases is Amazon Basics.
