“Elden Ring May Just Reinvent The Open-World Genre”

q: “So uh... Josh, what are women doing?”
a: “Oh, the exact same thing, we just don’t care about those optics.”

I used to call him “McReaper” (due to all the shippers placing him w/ Reaper, which I thought was adorable).

Since all the Blizzard stuff became public knowledge, he’s become “McCreep”, since the real Jesse McCree IS an actual Creep. I feel like that would have been a better name for him.

Esports announcers are already…

“b-but how am I gonna stream my INSERT NETFLIX SHOW HERE if I unsub from netflix?” 

well, kids there’s this thing called the internet...

for the 2021 addendum, don’t forget “Dead by Daylight”, which bills itself as a horror game but is really just competitive hide & go seek w/ a spooky theme.

(the true horror is the community in high ranks, lol).

The enduring popularity of Minecraft, Imho, stems from the fact that, outside of the base game, it’s extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY, mod friendly. It’s kind of like Gmod: on it’s own it’s kind of meh, but the amount of insane bullshit people have made using minecraft as the base template simply boggles the mind.

“...when they already created their own better space Nazis?”

“ ...but manages to have sexuality and humor in game without it being a problem” 

If nothing else, watching out of touch normies chained to the decaying, hollowed out bones of old-media trying to grok this whole thing has been an entertaining spectacle.

Change his name to “Jesse McCreep”.

Since the guy he’s based on is an ACTUAL CREEP   
be nice if that nickname followed him around for a while, too.

I was not expecting to read this today at all. Now who am I going to harass to help me get out of the greys? Or tiredly explain why this or that Kinja thing is, in fact, just a broken POS?

Godspeed, my dude!

There are so many players at the vigil on my server that the game won’t render them all

God, what horrible news to wake up to. He was only 54, what a loss for the world. I’m still glad our very own Fahey was able to survive it.

This is no Zaku

I once described XIV to a friend as:

“It’s the kind of game where the pro-crafters are 1000% more hardcore than any endgame raider, the pvp rewards are fashion items, & the community will gladly queue for a raid for their low level friend where the only reward is a silly dance emote”

Also we have maybe the most beloved…

Yeah, pretty much this. I just stopped playing comp entirely and stuck to mystery heros or weird arcade modes (lucio ball, etc). But even then, outside of what I wrote about above, the overwhelming toxicity eventually just ground me down.

I still really enjoy watching OTHER people play the game. Like I love watching…

Overwatch.

I feel like that game made my partner and I worse people (when we were playing). For the record it’s more a “me” thing (I just don’t handle yelling-type people super well).

My partner is scary-good at any competitive FPS or twitch-reflex type games (fighters, platformers, etc), on account of having grown…

Back in december I came back to “Fallout 76", 2 years after it’s absolutely miserable launch (I was one of the people that pre-ordered and then was just completely aghast). After the wastelanders update, it’s an actual game now. Crazy, right? Who would have thought.

It still has problems, sure, but at this point they…

I will always have a soft spot for 90's WoD. But it’s a little sad that there’s no character customization at all, & you’re instead forced to play as someone who looks like their name is “Swagger McDickwaggle”, fresh back from storming the US capital with the rest of Trumpian paramilitary cosplayers.

I’m all in for Calli pogchamp
