I suppose crazier things have happened. But I really don’t know how GameStop has stuck around as long as they have as it is, dealing with products that are increasingly being bought in digital formats over physical by the day.

Am I missing something? The shoes look perfectly fine to me. 

I’m still not sure how I feel about the idea that we can hold the rights to moving our bodies in specific ways.  Like on paper that sounds ridiculous, yet at the same time, The Macarena is undeniable when you see it in action.  I’m very conflicted on the matter.

It’s actually shocking how many people you still see playing it if you look around. Like I don’t see them so much out on the streets, but in bars and restaurants, I still see people playing it all the time, it’s kinda crazy.

The audience is never gonna be ready to go back to a form that was less rewarding than it’s compromised pandemic form. So naturally they’ll cling to the reason the compromises were implemented to begin with (the pandemic itself), regardless of if they are even taking the pandemic seriously anymore or not. I’m sure a…

Doubtful, Eillish may be popular, but she’s not bringing with her a giant revolution to the whole music scene like The Beatles did.

“This year the Academy hired three women to host, because it’s cheaper than hiring one man.”

Cool projects, but would be sooooooooooo much cooler if they actually ran on PS1 hardware. Making a game that runs on PC but looks like an old PlayStation game, isn’t nearly as impressive as making the game in question actually playable on the system. Feels disingenuous to keep calling it a PS1 demake, when that isn’t…

For the most part, true, but is hosting a book that you didn’t create truly a loving tribute?  I respect the point of view that, Nintendo doesn’t sell the book anymore, they don’t see any profits from it, and it never even left Japan.  But none of that makes hosting that book online a loving tribute.  See, this…

I believe that if we collectively took back the original purpose of the Swastika as soon as we saw what was becoming of it back then, we might have been able to have saved it from permanently becoming this awful symbol of hate.  Because honestly, I believe we only empower the people that co-opted these symbols into…

K, now go and create something that for years was only an innocent creation that you cherished. Until one day a bunch of assholes decide that your thing is theirs and they’re going to use it as a symbol for hate. You really mean to tell me that the creator is an asshole because he doesn’t wish to acknowledge what…

I would argue that you see Pepe used more today just for trolling.  Sure, the alt-right still utilizes it, but the vast majority of the time you see it anymore, it’s just in the avatar of someone who seems to be living to troll in that moment more than anything else.

“It’s since been used by extremist groups as they perpetuate hateful rhetoric.”  Yeah, but it’s also moved beyond that too, where people ironically adapt the frog just to troll, they don’t give a shit about politics or at least that isn’t what they’re aiming to discuss by making it their avatar, they’re just trying to…

I dunno, the main campaign is typically easy these days, sure, but getting 100% is still typically pretty challenging.

If it’s like just about any other Kirby game, beating the main story probably comes pretty easily, while trying to 100% it and find all the secrets will be challenging.

Disrespect is such a tool anyway, not sure why this guy would bother watching that tool play chess. I understand this guy is a grandmaster, so there may be a morbid curiosity to seeing how someone like Disrespect plays the game.   All the same, there has gotta be better chess players actually worth checking out before…

Ya know, some of those sound based rumble packs weren’t too bad. You kinda just dialed in to the intensity of the sounds that the rumble reacts to, find the sweet spot for the game you’re getting, and you get decent rumble. I used a similar device on the GBA and found the perfect range for Mega Man games, where the…

“So I do think it’s important for it to be linked with real-world prices.”  You can practically taste the shilling.

Why would the cloud be necessary to make games bigger at this point? Surely being connected to the internet is not needed for a game to be as big as the developers’ ambitions. It’s not like there is a size limit to how big games can be. 100-200GB games aren’t even uncommon anymore. I’m sure there are plenty that are…

“it feels justified in this specific case.” I’m not sure cultural appropriation is ever justified, even if the goal is to get revenge on someone guilty of cultural appropriation themselves. 2 wrongs don't make a right.
