Shadow Tactics deserves a lot more love than it got. It was my goty in 2016. (Even though I played it in early 2017).

It is a really strong episode, mostly about phone game addiction.

I’m not surprised at all. Once again Southpark has the best explanation of this:

because getting hands to stay in pockets while cloth moves believably with a character is nigh-impossible.

Lol.

The New Apple MacBook Pro Is So Good the Price Is Almost Worth It

Yep! And 2 new Legendary missions are fun.

Oh yeah, I heard about the new Division patch releasing—I might try to unlock some stuff for Division 2

the problem with this year’s e3 conferences was they are treating them like they have to be entertaining, like with shows and performances and everything. stop it! we dont need a spectacle. the games ARE the spectacle. they are the reason we tune in. not to see some banjo guy! not to see some cringey dance number!…

The first gameplay video, from many months ago now, showed uncut gameplay from hub to mission and was a longer video than this one. It is baffling that a year later they essentially showed us less. Nothing about Javelin or weapon customization. Nothing about how your personal hub world works. Nothing we haven’t…

People want clearer guidelines on what is or isn’t allowed instead of the same broad language that’s been used each time something like this happens.

This. Valve’s stance is somewhat ambiguous, but it’s the *least* ambiguous solution I’ve seen: Be permissive, but get rid of things that are illegal or trolling. This is obviously up to interpretation, but so is pretty much any rules surrounding censorship.

One thing I have yet to see from anyone criticizing Valve’s recent statement is a concrete alternative. The standard critique always seems to boil down to, “Read my mind about what should and should not be allowed on Steam, and then make that the universal acceptance policy.” Yeah, that sounds totally workable, bud.

I’m not a PC gaming elitist. Some of my best friends are console gamers.

Fuck man, people are calling out Bruno Mars for appropriation because he’s not the right shade of brown.

As a Chinese American who’s entire life has been in America, I find nothing wrong with this. I’m really tired of call outs for “appropriation”, and similar. As long as he wasn’t defaming Japanese people, I don’t see a problem.

Hes right though, Wu literally only does things to get attention, disagree with that all you want, but he is factually correct

John later apologized for much of what he said in anger. Before GamerGate was ever a thought on people’s minds he advocated for ethics/proper discourse in game journalism. Unfortunately, plenty of alt-right dickheads latched onto that phrase as an excuse to be dickheads and the phrase has since lost its meaning.

And this is why I would never, EVER, seriously consider living in New York city.
