I think they’re all part of the same package, used by the same people for the same purpose. They’re terms used to terrorize any man who doesn’t adhere to their narrow definition of “masculine” behavior. The intention is to shame you into being like them because they hate that you’re different. The goal of using them…

Okay, that’s a hard disagree on what “clearly does not” need to be done. People who use simp and cuck and the like as pejoratives need to be driven back into the black holes where they come from. They are toxic pieces of human garbage and can’t be made to disappear fast enough. While it’s absolutely disappointing when…

Okay, but the point is to criticize the lack of action, not to pretend like actions taken weren’t needed. In your example - the problem wasn’t that the cop intervened in the second instance, but that he ignored the others. We can hold them accountable for bad action or lack of action and that’s fine. Your way (and the…

It doesn’t have to be a small title to be left to die; I weep every time I think of the support EA/Bioware has given Anthem when they completely abandoned ME: Andromeda, a flawed game that had a great deal of potential. If they’d invested in that rather than Anthem, it could have been a great success story and maybe…

I think this is a good thing to do, and I think that what these communities want are also good things to do. Insert “Why not both” gif.

The #1 reason I’ll never play this game and I’m not kidding. If I can’t see my character doing cool things in an RPG, I’m not even a little interested.

...

Oof, that sucks. I played with a GM like that, though it was a homebrew setting. He was very “GM vs. Players” in his approach, like his goal as GM was to beat us and he expected our goal should be to try and beat him. Had another who once built an entire session around neutralizing my character. I spent the whole…

Wow, this brings me back. I was very into Ravenloft as a high schooler. My friends who got me into D&D all had their own corners of it they enjoyed - one Forgotten Realms, one Dragonlance, and I (being the Byronic angst-boy trope brought to life) was drawn to the sad, sad, sadness of Ravenloft. I got a ton of the…

Welcome to capitalism - where good ideas go to either be crushed by unfair markets or to be ruined utterly by their own success.

Oof, yes. That hits close to home - I was only recently looking over the Fortnite Marvel designs and really enjoying them, feeling disappointed that they were for Fortnite and not a game I would actually play.

I have seen many images of this game. I have never seen the character models look any better than this. If, at some point right near release, they finally started putting out good looking images, the damage had already been done. But, as I said, I have never seen screenshots from this game that looked like quality…

Word up. Just take a look at the main image for this article - does that look like a quality game? Look at their hair. Look how dumpy Cap is. They couldn’t get the licensing for the MCU versions, but they refused to let it go and come up with something truly their own, and so wound up with these bootleg knockoff…

Nice.

Most of the ones I’m talking about were never meant for arcades (at least to my knowledge) - Maximum Carnage and Death & Return of Superman were straight-to-SNES single-player sidescrolling beat-em-ups where the big problem was no ability to save or return to a previous playthrough. They started fun enough, but later…

Gaaasp! I remember seeing an ad for this as a kid! Or maybe not an ad? Maybe it was a little side-note in a Wizard magazine? Anyway, I thought I had imagined it because clearly it was never released. As a huge Kyle fan, I was really disappointed - though, in retrospect, it likely would have just been another like…

This is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long while and exactly the kind of story I needed today. Thanks.

That backlog is on PC, so no. I’ve never had a backlog of games on console that went back further than one gen (I just got a PS4 earlier this year, for example, so I do have some of those exclusives I’ve yet to get through) so even then I don’t have the experience of it being worth leaving old consoles set up “just in…

Sorry, I never meant to imply it only worked like this on PS4 - of course there are people who feel the same about their XB. The only point was that people generally prefer to do as much as they can on as few consoles as possible; which console that winds up being will change from person to person, but most people…

I think this is like most other media - people want as much of their stuff in one place as they can get. We don’t want to have to subscribe to thirty services when we could get one that has everything we want. We don’t want four consoles - we want one box to play all the games. If we can get most of what we want on…
