I don’t see any causality between words being banned in a Scrabble tournament format and seeing those words used more widely.

The issue is quantity. Sure, I can tell at a glance or by clicking on the entry whether the game is trash. With tens or hundreds of these games, it takes a significant amount more digging through trash to find good games than it used to. I’m talking an hour or more to find a game I want to try, as opposed to 10…

Games like this are why I’ve developed a subliminal aversion to trying indie games on the Switch. It’s a shame, too - the first year or two, it was possible to buy a $5-20 indie game, try it out, and find something at least interesting. The last game I truly went in blind on (and liked it) may be Road Redemption. These…

The version being covered is by Johnny Cash, yes.

1: The headline request is “Awful sex is ruining my relationship,” and the advice is “Awful relationship is ruining my sex.”

There are plenty of private examples too. Harry Stonecipher at Boeing in 2005, Steve Phillips at ESPN in 2009, Brian Dunn with Best Buy in 2012, Stephen MacMillan with Stryker in 2012.

People who think about three unrelated events’ “good scores” with anything resembling an absolute “supposed to” answer.

Truly pressuring people to resign for extramarital affairs

Grow a spine and figure it out for yourself, rather than framing poorly-conceived questions in order to attack a strawman.

Lowering the price for less content is at least possible. Man of Medan and Little Hope were both $30. Outer Wilds was (I think) $25. A lot of shorter story-based indie titles go for $10-40 on release. I could see more major publishers forming development teams that put out shorter games more quickly at a lower initial…

On the one hand, having very long games, or games that can be played a lot, is satisfying to my pocketbook. I can spend dozens of hours in single-player games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Stellaris and multi-player games like Overwatch. I spent almost two months with Persona 5 Royal, and at this rate, Final Fantasy…

I was thinking more of Tolkien (mentioned in the next sentence), which features very limited interbreeding between men and elves, dwarves ... I recall some allusions to men and orcs interbreeding, but usually negatively.

It feels like there are a few possible issues at play.

No, in the US people usually have to pay out of pocket for prescriptions.

For $20, I’ll let it being 1080p slide.

Wow. $20 for the game and $25 for an artbook is a damn good deal for a game that, up to now, had people buying a PSTV for $70+ dollars just to play the Vita version on the cheap.

I prefer Persona 5 both in terms of design and story. That said, 4 also has a very good story, and in terms of that and characterization should provide more of what you like, if you liked 5.

I mistook you for someone that might be able to grasp the concept I was showing you.

That’s so disappointing. Bowling was a big draw for me. :(

In general, I feel like scored reviews tend to skew toward justifying the number the reviewer assigned. If IGN gives a big number, the review has to be glowing; if Gamespot gives a lower number, the review has to focus on flaws. In contrast, the lack of a number allows a reviewer to both really like a game and point…
