How/why did this thing gather so much hype in the first place? People truly saw a derivative of The Last of Us/Division 2 from an unknown/sketchy studio and thought: “Game of the Year!”?

You can avoid it by not playing it on Xbox 🤷‍♂️

I work in game shows. It is standard operating procedure to not pay out any winnings until after the show airs, typically 90-120 days after the contestant’s final episode (with some rare exceptions like Ken Jennings, whose “Jeopardy!” streak carried over from one season into another; he got a partial payout during the…

Articles and attention like this are the reason scams like this bring success to the scammers. Every person on Earth who has followed this game knew it was a disaster. Yet a few hours after release and Steam already has 4,000 verified purchases of folks who have taken the time to write a (negative) review.

Each one gets their own personality, which has helped the show change with the times.

I really, REALLY cannot wait for the generation of young people that, realizing that their moms’ and dads’ tattoos are ugly as fuck, decide to rebel against their parents by NOT getting insane amounts of poorly planned ink in their skin.

I don’t think Kerry is all that great to begin with. Having said that I wanted more sex scenes than anything. In a world where sex is everywhere, even literally showing sex in ads, there’s actual very little sex for your character to have.

Whenever I think of how sad/depressing the various endings for Cyberpunk are, I always come back to this conversation:

I can’t disagree harder with this. At the risk of making a straw-man argument, the complaint here is that the relationship is shallow, and you can’t get a happy ending, which is what you really want but...that is largely the point. This is a game world where the most in-depth relationship are the ones you form over a…

I am Chinese and I am absolutely fine with Mercy in a dress typically worn for the lunar new year. Wear a Chinese dress, make mooncakes for your coworkers for the autumn festival, whatever your skin color or blood line, as long as they are done tastefully and in appreciation for the cultural occasion you choose to…

In the latter instance, Jabbari recorded some of his ranting, in which he demanded she be more like Michelle Obama or Coretta Scott King. The audio, referenced in the prosecution’s opening arguments, was played for the jury (per Variety and Vulture). “I’m a great man. A great man. I do great things for my culture and…

This is such a terminally online take. The notion of bottling up each individual culture such that everyone stays in their respective lanes and culture can only be expressed or shared if someone has the exact same skin tone and nation-state lineage as you is so fucking backwards.

If people have issues with the…

Have any of these people stopped to consider that maybe it’s not the character but the player that is wearing it? I don’t play Overwatch anymore but as a Chinese American I liked having all my characters (Pharah, Roadhog & Symmetra) wearing Chinese garb because I am in fact Chinese.  Should I only have to play Mei…

There was a case where a white female cosplayer made a full-body costume for a black male character. This was a body suit with fake muscles and everything. Naturally, the body suit had a dark pigmentation to match the character’s. People freaked out about this and accused her of using blackface.

Articles like this scream for a dislike button.

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

I watched two minutes of Barbie, followed by three minutes of Oppenheimer, followed by two minutes of Barbie, and so forth, as the filmmakers clearly intended.

They already tried in September with Saw Patrol (Saw X & Paw Patrol). It didn’t work but they’ll keep trying, I’m sure.

I think Murphy’s right that Barbenheimer will never happen again, but you can bet your sweet tush that Hollywood is gonna try their darndest to make it happen every time a pair of stylistically differing movies come out near one another.

It’s a weird thing about Hollywood. They aren’t mutually exclusive, and don’t have to compete. They aren’t concerts. Just because I watch one movie doesn’t mean I can’t watch the other.
