Of course not.  That’s why I specified that it is not the stating of one’s opinion that I find condescending, but the treating of one’s opinion as fact.  I was very clear on that distinction, and even offered examples of the different approaches.  Did you read my comment before responding?

A lot of people love Mrs. Maisel, including several millenials I know. It’s really grating when you treat your opinion as fact, Gita, especially when you are shitting on something. Calling it a “misstep” is far more condescending than saying something like, “that confused” or “bothered me”, or “I disagreed with…

The most interesting thing about this post to me was your alluding to Japan’s “corporate-controlled games industry”, and how that has grown in the last ten years (or ten years ago; I was unclear about the implication).  Does that mean there’s no such thing as “indie” game development in Japan?  What happened ten years…

Damn that’s a lot of Dragon Quest on Switch in one day. Has there ever been six distinct games from a single franchise released for the first time on a console in a single day before? Seems like it could be a record.

Sekiro is still my GotY. The longer I reflect on it, the more I’m convinced it has the best melee combat system in any game ever.

Btw, I definitely meant Link’s Awakening, of course, and I appreciate the community for not digging at me for that brain glitch.  Have a great weekend all!

Ah ha, that’s interesting. I was totally ignorant of the differences between P3P and P3 FES. Having just read about them on wikipedia, I definitely think P3P is the way to go, with the omission of the walking and addition of the option to control all the characters in battle (and apparently other gameplay tweaks…

I totally feel you about getting frustrated when you don’t know where to go, for me usually because I’ve played other games since the last session and just completely lost my bearings with the map. The top FAQ on GameFAQs dot com is really great, in that it has small gifs of the portion of the map you’re supposed to…

So despite the fact that I was complaining just yesterday on this website about the price, the Dreamer’s Edition of A Link to the Past was in stock at Nintendo NY, so I went for it. I figure in theory it will retain more value and is therefore a better deal, though I’ll probably never sell it, so that’s just me…

Wow you fuckers are awful here, and really bad for the political left. This piece is incredibly juvenile. Sure the Pod Save guys were being a little douchey in their defensiveness (some of it expressed through completely valid points), but they also did tremendous good for this country, and continue to energize a…

Of course it was, but they didn’t have to spend any money at all on world/level/puzzle design, or writing/localization.

Yeah I realized the original price would be pretty close (if not greater) when inflation was taken into account. Not that you are arguing with me, but if you were, I would offer the counter-argument that a better point of comparison might be the ratio between the price of this game in to the normal list price of a…

Lucky! Mine expired in April. If I still had that sweet 20% off, I’d absolutely take the plunge. But I’m with you - I can never decide if Link’s Awakening or The Wind Waker is number three on my list, and “salivating” is an apt description of how I’ve looked forward to this remake.  But I can’t abide $60.…

I posted a similar take. IMO if you have not played the game before, it is excellent enough to be worth $60 despite the short length. It really is a fantastic game. But it does annoy me that they’ve raised the price by either 50% or 100% from the original game (don’t remember the original price) without adding any…

Here’s what may be a hot take to some: This game is overpriced. Not because it’s not amazing, but because 20 years ago Nintendo set the price of this game as $20 or $30 cheaper than it is now (I can’t remember how much Gameboy games cost, or if the DX version was any more expensive), and the content is all exactly…

No, but I see why my sentence construction may have been confusing.  I meant when I ask or when I watch, not when I ask for an explanation or to watch.

I feel that. I was solidly middle class growing up. My mom liked Cheez-Its, so we did usually have them, but I never developed a taste for them. Goldfish, too.

But see, Aimee described the taste as “artificial cheese”, which I totally agree with. I don’t understand why that would be good.

I find the taste very off-putting. I agree with Aimee when she referred to the taste as being “artificial”, and I don’t understand why that would be appealing to anyone.

No, I’m not ok, since you asked. But I also don’t understand what you’re getting at with this last comment. Those quotes are not mutually exclusive in any way; also, I said nothing that resembled gibberish.
