Part of the problem with them designing around how people want to play Overwatch is that there’s no universal answer to that. Everyone will want to play it a different way. So they do what every other developer does, which is design a game around what they believe the players will find fun and you either enjoy it or…

I’m still waiting for lava sauce and their volcano items to make a comeback.

Interesting right up to the point it turns out to be limited to jumping through hoops on social media.

It’s hilarious how people talk about being 35+ as being ancient.

When I had cats they friggen LOVED popcorn.  As soon as I’d get out the popper they’d be at my feet like I was opening a can of wet food.

“It’s always slower for me to go through a cashier than self-checkout.”

The Talented Mr. Fischer 😉 

It’s not that people buy too much at once, it’s that self-check takes more time per item than the regular checkout line. Cashiers are pretty efficient. They know many of the produce codes by heart, they’re good at getting the bar code past the scanner on the first try, and they know how to resolve scanning issues…

The first rule of being a patient is “never be interesting to your doctor.”

I have said many times that “Scrubs” is the most accurate medical show I’ve ever seen and nothing else really comes close.

Microsoft used timed exclusives.

As much as I hate the push for exclusives as a consumer, the Playstation boss can get stuffed. They spent the entire PS4 cycle locking their ecosystem down as hard as possible so nobody could even play with people that owned the same game on other platforms, and they still maintain a strategy of pushing for PS…

It’s not gatekeeping to say “I would prefer an experience custom built by the game’s director.” It is gatekeeping to say “Developers who had difficulty settings are making a mistake.”

There’s a huge gulf between “I like X” and “people who don’t like X aren’t real gamers”

They literally said the word “Personally”,…

I’m sorry but Broom Boy was a moron.

Here’s the thing that’ll really bake your noodle:

I also found it appalling that Disney/Lucasfilm did not have an overarching plan for the trilogy other than just make movies.

I eat meat, but I do go for the vegan option in certain situations. If I go to a shawarma place, I get falafel instead of meat most of the time, and I use tofu at home instead of meat a lot, especially in stir-frys. If I get a breakfast sandwich at a place that offers a vegan sausage option, I’ll usually get that. I…

I’m starting to think not putting this movie out is like the biggest publicity coup since putting out a movie.

I think the distinction is less about superheroes and more about IP. I mean, I don’t give two licks about Batgirl the character, but I recognize the potential of the character because of established IP. I made a joke about Dune Part 2 in the other thread, but I think if the first Dune had been summarily destroyed…

Probably not.
But that’s OK. That’s what people around here are into. Maybe there are forums somewhere of rom-com fans, angry that some film starring Lauren Graham and David Boreanaz is shelved, and they don’t care about Batgirl.
