Don’t love Biden and greatly, greatly dislike Trump, but Republicans are a lot better than Democrats at getting in line and voting for their candidate. Democrats though, we seem to fall into in-fighting more often than not, and fail to realize the power of solidarity.

And Heiret has been blown away by how many people are living in the game these days, escaping the real world. He believes that this is because, in the current state of the world, people need agency. A place where players can arrange the pillows on their bed just how they like them.

I am entirely too old for these kinds of things, yet I still find myself wishing that the core Fortnite mechanics were something non- Battle Royale so that I had a reason to play the game, get gear, and dress up like a loon to go to these concerts. It pings the MUDD user in me (yes, I’m that old), that makes me pine fo…

Yeah, if not for the Discord limit (which I think is 9 or 10?) and the audio (my friends partly also want to see each other, especially now with COVID keeping everyone isolated) I’d be down for Discord.

That’s true, though that’s not really participation in my book, it’s voting. Still something to do though!

Celebrity Jackbox: All the fun of watching others enjoy Jackbox while you wait your turn, now with 0% chance of playing!

Agreed. A 2:1:1 is a way better ratio than a 1:1:1. It’s a little larger than your average cocktail, but the ratio is fine.

They want to hold onto all their money and don’t want to give any of it up for public infrastructure? Sounds like the GOP to me!

Attractive person has a viral hit on a social media platform, news at 11.

My big issue is that it’s occurring at the same time as the cherry blossom event, but the cherry blossom recipes are way rarer and much nicer than the Bunny Day items. The second issue is one pointed out—the Bunny Day items are just hideous and there are so many. Once I started seeing the awful outfits pop-up for each…

Sorry man, I totally understand how life obligations can impact gaming time. For what it’s worth, I’m more or less in the same boat and avoid lots of games I can’t easily enjoy. I was too drawn to Control not to try it and feel lucky that I got a hold of the combat, but had I been frustrated and without a way to…

Can you elaborate? I usually suck at these kinds of games but I also thought Control was kind of a breeze, save for the last two big encounters which were already noted by devs to be a huge spike in difficulty (via a reddit AMA). I relied heavily on telekinesis though and basically used it as a way to keep the hordes…

I disagree. Yes, there are keys and such needed to progress, but Metroidvanias have ability-gates, where you can often times see exactly where to go or what to do, but lack the powers to get there. On top of that, there tend to be many places a given power opens up, giving you many new options to explores once you get…

Very excited for the DLC to drop this Thursday, but as someone firmly on Team Launch (like, so shamefully so that my entire playstyle is built around it), I will likely never use Shape. Would be amazing to be able to rebind keys though so that I could give it a whirl, aside from what I assume will be the forced use of…

That’s fair! There are a number of readers like you and I’m happy for you guys—you’re able to get what you find satisfying from his works, which is great (seriously, no snark).

It’s interesting to think about HL3 in the light of writers like GRRM or Patrick Rothfuss, both of whom struggle to finish their (beloved) creations. In all these cases, there seems like an infection point was hit, where “getting it done” began to outweigh the beauty of the original creation; great art is a joy to…

I don’t know if I could live with my num/punctuation line going away, nor the lack of a dedicated spacebar, but maybe that’s just because I was raised on physical keyboards (including taking a typing class on an actual typewriter back in the 6th grade). Do the youths still learn touch typing?

Hahaha, my thoughts exactly. “Wow, I sure do love videogames now! My favorite game is ‘USB-C port’!”
