wow these games get less and less palatable as the years go on. just wretched

i love both the PS3 games but i never played the PS4 one. is it worth it?

what about gamers, such as myself, who hate gamers more than anything

i wonder how many long time Jez commenters such as myself remember when we had a persistent incel who admitted he was so desperate for sex he would even fuck his mom. this was years and years ago, long before “incel” became a common word. this “subculture” has been percolating through the internet for much longer than…

sucks that he’s suddenly “hotter” because he’s skinnier. the fatphobia runs deep!

maybe because i’m fairly isolated from the worst of gaming culture, i didn’t have the highest of expectations for the Ouya. i bought mine off Amazon about 6 months after its launch and i used it exclusively as an emulator box. i took it to friends’ houses to play Street Fighter II etc thanks to its easy set up and…

great article. had never heard of Storey before but will watch his channel

don’t have a lot of moments like that anymore but last week, i ended up playing 6 straight hours of Arkham Knight (on my first play through currently) and i found my back hurt by the time i went to sleep. i’m too old for that shit haha

ah thank you! i like the look of the one in the screenshot but i’m sure i can find one as appealing

The stupendously talented and astute writer Gretchen Felker-Martin withdrew her article from The Atlantic because of Helen Lewis. May I recommend linking to her Twitter / Patreon and showing some support for a trans writer materially affected by The Atlantic’s transphobia

can you let me know what graphics pack you’ve got installed there to make the game look like that in the screenshot? i’d like to try out the game but i can’t handle the original art

never ever have i had an old person send something back for being “too hot” but i have had 1,000,000 old people return their soup because it wasn’t hot enough. i just don’t get it. we could send that shit out boiling, the bowl inside a pot of boiling oil, and we would still get complaints about it being cold
