My 82 year old grandma is a huge nerd. While she probably doesn’t know anything about twitch, I can totally see her streaming a Zelda game. She’s beaten all of them AFAIK.

This story is just a reminder that it’s best to think of this as Putin’s war, not Russia’s war. Because there are a lot of Russians (particularly the young) who don’t share Putin’s worldview.

I’ve said things like this before, but Kotick seems to be emblematic of modern CEOs. The bizarre combination of incompetence and corruption while profiting massively despite dragging everyone else down makes him similar to an actual business version of Trump. Failing upwards, given a face.

OR...maybe people engage with games as art and therefore have nuanced priorities of what does and does not make a good game? Art is a bigger priority for some people. Some people love or hate games based solely on the soundtrack.

If I said, “Hey this game is beautiful but it controls like shit” I wouldn’t tell you to…

As a first entry in a new series, of course it will take some growing into.

Ahhh yes, no rumble. 

So one leaker will just leak anyway for all of the attention

In Carroza-Oyarce’s home country of Canada, the legal age of consent is 16, whereas Lauth’s home state of Louisiana sets the age of consent at 17.

No I did not, but same statement applies. If he spent more time socializing with others his own age, I’m sure he could find someone that is his peer rather than a kid.  

Did you forget the difference between reality and movies? 

I appreciate you bringing attention to the lack of development over the last few years since Her Interactive’s last release of a ND game. I have been playing these mystery games since the early 2000's and to have such a large gap in development is a serious loss for me as a female gamer. I really hope this is not the…
