I never romance anybody because it feels like the game is a bit too insistent about it and I find that very off-putting. Everyone seems to be very obviously interested in you for no reason, to the point that I feel like I’m in one of those Star Trek episodes where the crew gets some sort of space virus that makes them…

I never did. You’re the captain of the ship and pretty much everyone’s boss... it’s a bad power-dynamic in the game without getting into the real-world aspect of it feeling like I was playing with dolls making them kiss.

I romanced no one in my first unguided play through because I wanted to save the universe. I’ve talked to a lot of people about this game and realized I’m the only one who’s never romanced anyone.

As someone who is in a similar position (LOVED square during and before the psone days and into the ps2 and feel like I have watched the company deteriorate ever since) I think its some combination of Sakaguchi leaving and the merger with Enix, which I believe happened relatively close together and are likely related.…

I would imagine kids probably factor into it for a lot of people.  Sure, everyone has more responsibilities the older they get, but kids are on a whole other level.  I’m more tolerant of these types of games and I believe a part of that is not having kids to interrupt gaming time.  That said, I think the best option…

New ad for Elden Ring ft. Ming-Na Wen? This seems kind of random, but awesome.

My machinations lay undetected for years for I am a master of deception

You thought it was Final Fantasy Tactics, but it was I, DioField!

Yeah, but he plays Custodies.... =(

This. Hes so good in The Man From UNCLE.

Seeing Cavil in other things makes me realize just how bad a director Snyder is.   The guy has charisma and charm.  He even has the comedy chops that could have made a believable Clark Kent.  He would never top Reeves as Clark Kent but he could have come close if he was allowed to do things such as smile and emote 

It can be argued Dragon Warrior (sorry QUEST) 1, 2, and 3 and Final Fantasy 2 (sorry FOUR) aren’t rpgs yet back in the day they were THE standard bearers of rpgs for consoles. Now realizing Is It An RPG? purity tests are the Is Pluto A Planet? of videogames.

God video game genres are fucking stupid.

I would love for this to bite them in the butt and the whole studio unionizes.

We gamers can be so ridiculous. In the absence of news, we seem to decide that there has to be something and then start making things up out of whole cloth and then get disappointed (at best) or even angry (at worst) when the stuff we made up in our heads turns out to be wrong. I include myself in this because I’ve…

Needs more Death Metal Retsuko.

Remake Cloud and Barrett are both stunned to hear about this 60 FPS mod.

Honestly, I disagree. Let streaming culture develop its own gossip magazine industry separate from gaming culture. Enough people are interested I guess, so let them enjoy it, but it has as much to do with video games as Leonardo DiCaprio’s yacht parties have to do with movies.

I’m sorry that you have to write about this middle school shit.

But Valve is not the one running a virtual casino. They’re merely providing a product that is being misused as an alternative to gambling chips, even though that’s not what it’s intended for. To look at it a different way, if instead of using CS:GO skins, the children started using Pokemon cards as gambling chips,…
