My sister in the northern UK is closer to this shit than I am in California to our home town in FL. She’s freaked out (rightfully) that this could spill over into a European land war, which it absolutely could. NATO vs Russia (and let’s face it, China, most likely) could have planetary reprocussions that’ll be bad for…

Not going to disagree that too few in this country pay attention to international events, but what part of Florida did you move to?! I grew up in a podunk little Floridian town and people were flying flags for YEARS. Heck, most of us saw the towers fall live. Everything stopped, and it dominated the news cycle for…

As a pixel artist, the last 10 years of watching Square botch the graphics for their classics has been agony. First there were the pillow shaded terrors in the steam version, and now they’re pushing this desaturated look. I don’t get it, because like you said, the original upscales just fine on our HD TV.

Mmmm, not totally true. Boba Fett is my 8 year old nephew’s favorite character. It’s the armor: kids love the armor.

I never get this. Even back when I was a wee one, I didn’t understand remaking animation into live action. Something is always lost in translation. 

I was LEGIT called a bad person when I left my minimum wage job for something that paid $20 an hour and was a MASSIVE opportunity for me to grow. My boss had the fucking audacity to say “All you Millennials care about is money, there’s no loyalty today, blah blah blah”.

They’re nosey, judgemental fucks. I used to work in a den of them, and they’d make fun of me whenever I made the mistake of having my game purchases sent to the office. They also loved to tell me that I’d wise up and become a Republican “Once I’d grown up.”

I had 2: An American Tail and ET. With ET it was the scene at the beginning, where he’s running through the woods screaming. For some reason, it BROKE MY TODDLER BRAIN and sent me into a hysterical panic. My parents had to start the tape up like 30 minutes in for YEARS or I’d leave the room.

If it's anything like it is here in California there are probably bogus shops that'll pass you if you slip them $300. 

Ah, he went to a restaurant when he was telling us all not to see our families at the holidays. It was stupid, and he should have known better.

Jez has no concept of the long game. This is the same shit they were posting in 2016 about how Hillary was this flawed piece of shit, completely ignoring the fact that the FUCKING SUPREME COURT WAS ON THE LINE.

As a Californian: Yeah, no. I don’t care if Newsom “said something once”. This false equivalency bullshit needs to end. Elder is LITERALLY Trump in a different wrapper, and I don’t want the meth heads in the Central Valley to saddle us with him. Shit's bad enough as it is.

I think the point here is that they didn’t even bother to put their own spin on it. Same terminology, same basic concept and rules, just with a Fortnite wrapper. Imagine if Sonic the Hegehog had released with Sonic jumping on Goombas, collecting coins, and saving the Princess. No real innovation, just Mario Bros.…

Those were amazing and I can't believe I forgot about them. XD

God, YES. Snapple Rain was my JAM in middle school!

THAT would have been way better, and Adam would have had a nice little arc too. In fact, having the white, male, buff man learn to solve problems without his magic sword would have been a good, time-appropriate message.

But her emails, amirite?

I know it won’t ever replace WOW, but if you want a place to hang out you can get the base game + first expansion of FFXIV for free. The community over there is wonderful (for the most part) and Yoshi-P is an absolute doll from all appearances.

I... still call him King Koopa more often than I’d like to admit.

Imagine how many lives he could have changed with that kind of money. My dad died because he put off a $1400 colonoscopy, but no, let’s not tax these rich assholes to fund universal Healthcare.
