I wondered the opposite. If I abuse this feature will my quest tracker become flooded with trivial objectives? It’s up to the gamer I guess.

When Nintendo reps have to go out of their way to self-conciously explain why they’re choosing yet another male protagonist for arbitrary reasons, it’s pretty telling. It’s particularly damning when proponents of the decision go so far as to describe feminists as “loud and extremist”.

“There is no reason at all why they should feel the need to gender-swap a franchise...”

It’s no conspiracy that gaming culture is thoroughly misogynistic.

So Nyko is selling a house arrest monitoring bracelet, and a vibrating cock ring?

“Why hide your multiplayer chat with headphones when you can share it with the world?”

We all saw the Trump-mongoose. The whole world is terrified of America, and now Trump. It’s a global thing.

Yawn. Maybe sleep would help me to parse your gibberish.

So what you’re saying is that the decision to not cast a female Link was exactly as arbitrary as it has been throughout the history of the series? Got it.

Or... This incarnation of Link could have just been female. No explanations required. Zelda doesn’t necessarily have to be the protagonist for devs to give us a playable female character.

“If we made Link a female we thought that would mess with the balance of the Triforce. That’s why we decided not to do it.”

Who said anything about slicing you up?

Reassuring to a point. Why does it feel like they all came out to say farewell?

Jezebel has been doing some great politics coverage. Etc.

io9 was already absorbed like a vanishing twin.

It was painful watching Gawker and Jezebel devolve into hornet’s nests. I guess bees aren’t the only stinging insects susceptible to colony collapse disorder.

No you don’t.

What kind of gets me about these types of fetishes is the whole consent aspect. Is he getting off knowing that we’re seeing him in a diaper? I wonder the same thing when I see furries at comic con. I don’t want to be a part of their fetish, but if they get off just from being seen in their costume in public they’re…

Komrad, you don’t kick ass; you kick hornet’s nests.

If someone finishes an RPG with a build that they like, but which is regarded as sub-optimal, they attract all kinds of ridicule. But if someone finishes a game with sub-optimal appendages, it’s an achievement... I’m lost.
