CK won a fucking 2022 Grammy for material he put out in 2020, two years after admitting he jerked off in front of coworkers who were too freaked out or concerned about their livelihood to kick him in the fucking face. Like... come on. He stopped touring for 9 months and that was ENTIRELY self-directed. Do you consider…

By this logic Frosted Flakes should be called “Rat Droppings Flakes”. There’s a difference between “gatekeeping” and “expecting genre material to contain genre”. I’m happy to read that the finale has a healthy amount of weirdness but that’s hardly grounds to complain that genre fans have “slept on” this show.

That reminds me, I need to buy some olive oil.

But I bet he’d make me feel less icky directing an Asia Argento sex scene!

I think the lack of meaningful consequences for the majority of culture war dipshits who invoke the phrase “cancel culture” while they cry into their piles of cash (often provided by streaming services!) is the thing you’re maybe not understanding.

I don’t believe in ghosts but I would LOVE for the ghost of Michelle McNamara to float into this production and destroy it.

You only know about the other outcomes of those rolls because you either tried it again or you read about it/saw it elsewhere. How can you sit there and act like it’s the game’s fault that YOU are aware of the alternate outcomes? If you’re going to blame the RNG for making you feel like your choices don’t matter,…

Oh cool, are we using Mass Effect as the example? Because one of the common criticisms of that dialogue system is that it’s TOO pre-determined. Do you want a positive outcome for your interaction? Well it doesn’t matter who the other character is or the circumstances of their day or life, as long as you have enough…

Except we have actual evidence of neo Nazi trolls using 88 as a callout. We have actual evidence of game devs engaging in alt-right horseshit. Pure coincidence? Maybe. Then why that number? To say that a choice was a coincidence requires an argument for the choice. What was it?

Gross but true.

Or they should be put into counseling for the issues that make them this way. But sure, let's do eugenics.

If you want to debate Katt debate Katt. I'm just explaining the nature of the complaint. It seemed like people didn't understand it.

Feckless Nunk-uncle?

If Dan and Jordan made a game it would be a tactical RPG, not a side-scroller. I’ve been tempted to pick up Fire Emblem Three Houses based on their effusive praise.

It feels like there’s some confusion over the nature of the comments. Williams isn’t saying that Hart doesn’t deserve his fame or whatever, his point is that Hart *as a standup* got to his current position *as a standup* because of work he did *as an actor*. His complaint is that Kevin Hart didn’t do the standup comic…

Context clues, friend. The original complaint was that Cyberpunk and GTA are similar because they encourage you to do RANDOM crimes FOR FUN. That’s not the case with the missions in Cyberpunk. The random reward element in THAT game is beating or killing wanted criminals. IF the original complaint had been that both…

That’s not true. Most of the time, anyway. Yes, it’s very clear that your successful roll gives you the outcome you want (in theory - there are exceptions) but it’s not like the character response is out of character. It’s weird to say that the choices and outcomes have “absolutely nothing to do with each other” when…

That’s fair, although I would say it’s hard for me to argue against someone with a truly shit run of bad dice luck getting upset. Thankfully I never ran into that problem on my playthrough. I had bad rolls, sure, but nothing so consistent that it felt like the game was trolling me.

I own Disco Elysium and enjoyed what I played but I’m just too wired to want combat over RP. And I don’t like that you can’t change the look of your character in DE. For my money I have gotten the most enjoyment out of the Owlcat Pathfinder games as far as cRPGs but that comes with an almost equal amount of…

What’s your bright spot, buddy?
