So what you’re saying is that context is key, and absent context, you’re just spitting numbers out that have no meaning?

“we found that games with LGBTQ characters or storylines account for less than 2% of all games”

I will keep banging this drum until it happens: I think this is a move to shift to 4 v 4. Blizzard has reduced team complexity every time they hit a wall with balancing and it seems supports are next on the chopping block.

Honkai: Star Rail’s story isn’t nearly as complex as Genshin Impact’s

The other day I was playing and thought, if this is the last game I ever play I would be fine with that. They pack in so much content, and the gatcha isn’t unfair it should be the model for not just all free to play games but all games. I promice if I were to drop $60 on this game, which I haven’t, I would still get…

i will never, ever, ever understand how WB got convinced suicide squad, of all properties, was a blue chip, multimedia, multi-billion dollar franchise.

Or to put it bluntly, when a group is used to privilege, equality feels like opression.

Released in February 2023, Hogwarts Legacy wasn’t a hit with critics and ended up not winning many major awards.

Most critics who reviewed the game in good faith gave it a decent score. We get it you wanted the game to fail

I really liked it, it was fun and very pretty, and it was clearly made with love for the source material and franchise. As someone that grew up with the books, and then the movies as they came out, it was a fun open-world romp for about 40-50 hours, I got my money’s worth. 

It may not have been VERY good, but it was PRETTY good, controversy aside.

Most of those are either terrible, or (possibly worse) bland and forgettable.

It’s not clear how much of an influence the COVID-19 pandemic had

Oh I can see why if what I am experiencing is being seen by others. I work from home so I don’t get on the freeway as much anymore. Prior to the pandemic I commuted every single day. Back then maybe every few days I’d see some moron doing 100MPH or driving like a maniac. But now? I can’t think of the last time I went…

So it’s basically Marvel’s Avengers.

I had a Chevy dealer attempt to charge $1200 for dealer prep. After digging at them they revelaed this included a pin stripe down the side of the car and nitrogen in the tires.....that already came from the factory with nitrogen in them....which is a scam in itself. They literally tried to scam the scam and cover it…

Actually, crumple zones are also used for pedestrian safety (not the same zones etc, but still). A crumpling bonnet/hood and foreclip, for instance. The way the structure crumples to guide the front wheels under the passenger cabin: Not for pedestrians.

How strange that it’s hard to move $80k Chevy Tahoes.

If I had to guess at a reason one is praised while another is criticized—and be allowed to speak in broad, general terms—I would put my money on the idea that one features sex that two people engage in, while another features sex when it has a 12 year old girl trip over her own feet and shove her ass in a protagonists…

Hell, I think Skyrim has more daily players than Starfield RIGHT NOW.
