Development nightmares on ME:A killed mass effect, not the fan base. Although some of the fan base is indefensible.

Next go-round they need to get their asses back to the Milky Way and go for something a bit more grounded and personal, like in Mass Effect 2. No need for us to save the galaxy again, but it would be cool to explore Earth, Thessia, etc. when they’re not all about to be destroyed.

And the PvP is... yeah.

Of all the Destiny time-wasters, I think this faction rally thing is the most useless. Has anyone ever been interested in it? Do dull activities to get mediocre gear...sign me up!

Can’t wait to get home in an hour and sign up to Dead Orbit.

The movie was definitely entertaining. But it really lacked any substance. It was just action sequence after action sequence. This can be somewhat blamed on how bloated the script was. They really could have made 2 significant movies out of the plot of Ragnarok. But instead, we got this badly paced plot with lots of…

Or jokes when Asgard, and almost all its people, are destroyed. I really enjoyed it but thinking about it today, after seeing it last night, it’s crazy how much monumental stuff happens that left no impression on me because of the almost non-stop comedy. Thor loses his hammer, his eye, his father, his closest friends,…

The overall tone made the comedy acceptable. BUT

This is going to sound negative, so I’m going to start off by saying I really liked the movie. There were just a few things that annoyed me with how it fit into the greater MCU.

...I have a feeling Father Time is going to look poorly on Ragnarok.

Preiest: “Do you Mercy, take Genji to be your lawfully married Husband, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health?”

I would also like to remind everyone that NSFW stuff comprises a good chunk of Patreon’s fiances. If they bite the hands that feeds them, those folks will go elsewhere, and by default, cut drastically into Patreon’s cut.

I’ve been working with Cecilia on this story since Thursday, when I warned her that things would likely blow up over the weekend and that she might have to work Saturday and Sunday. Which she of course agreed to do immediately, because she is a trooper. Her hard work is the reason that this story is more thorough than…

This seems like a Damned if you, damned if you don’t kind of situation. I’m happy they published the adventure, even if they stumbled. They tried, which is a weird thing I have come to appreciate from white people around me as a PoC. It’s awkward sometimes, but I appreciate they try to include me and be mindful of me…

True, but on the upside Woodrocket is uncensored and the female leads don’t constantly squeal like piglets throughout the shoot.

Just the latest reminder that microtransactions aren’t separate from the game. They can be central to the game itself, in mechanics designed to trigger further purchases.

I am absolutely shocked to see this on Kotaku. A very similar thing happened to me while working at Naughty Dog in 2012-2013.

After reporting this to HR, the assaulter was sat in the cubicle right next to me. Shortly after I was told “Isn’t today your last day?” and never called back.

I emailed you about this if you’d…

I think you’ve hit it right on the head; Micro-transactions lay-bare the fact that games are a business. They shatter the illusion that game developers make games only for the art, to create something of pure enjoyment, and the only reason they charge for them at all is they want to eat. They’re the basest form of…

I wonder what Goldeneye on the N64 would have been like if it were released with loot boxes.

you guys aint seen nothing til you see her jack sparrow
