I just finished XV and though its issues are numerous, I still enjoyed the hell out of it. Boy Band or no, they did manage to wring a great amount of pathos out of that ending and the combat became stupidly fun once I got into a rhythm.

I didn't get emotional until they unexpectedly flashed back (after you've beaten the final boss) to Noct revealing what was about to happen to him at the last campfire. That came out of nowhere. The entire ending of the game felt strangely anticlimactic until that point. I thought it was odd that a game so entrenched…

For any of my complaints about this game (Haven't quite finished the main quest, on Chapter 12). I have been genuinely impressed with the voice acting. Despite feeling massively unearned when Luna dies and Noct has an emotional reaction to her passing, I still found myself feeling some level of emotional response just…

Welp, no one can fault you for being a particularly clever troll. I guess you can call me an ancient dyke at the ripe age of 27. Damn, you really mad.

Put that ignorant, ageist bullshit away, please.

I genuinely love Crissle and her various random projects. Between this (and her previous Harriet Tubman Drunk History), The Read, and the announcement that she'll be doing a podcast with Fran about Insecure, I'm so happy she's getting the work she deserves.

I have never loved a bitch on a reality show competition like a loved Crazy Ass Jade. That Wild n Out challenge where she just straight up told Furonda she had bad skin and terrible acne made me laugh so, so hard. She was truly an android attempting human interaction.

First of all, I ain't white. And secondly, no one is coming for you. And thirdly, I know exactly what you're referring to,—at least regarding people calling Justin "black"—my objection was you specifically referring to think pieces about "Justin at the picnic" which is not something I have ever heard uttered, but I…

Cookout. The meme is about white people invited to the cookout, and god knows there are plenty of black people who hate this meme.

I couldn't contain myself and screamed "BITCH, NO" at that sharecropper line before devolving into laughter.

In an announcement of four actors: 2 are black, 1 of Indian descent, and 1 is white. What you're referring to doesn't really mesh. It is not hard to find the same concerns around casting diversity applied to a variety of races/ethnic groups. It's not black people's fault if media outlets tend to hone in on one. That…

I think Coco excels in two arenas: talking heads/interacting with the other queens and lip synching. Granted, I get that for most, this is not enough to warrant a spot for the All Stars, but damn it, her dragging Serena's dumb ass down into the pits of hell during Season 5 was masterful, and I will forever love her…

I know I'm one of the few people who actually really enjoys Coco, but fuck, that performance was really a dud. I can see what she was going for, and I can appreciate it to an extent, but it really did just flatline after the first twenty seconds or so. That said, I will never be able to withstand warbly accapella that…

Honestly, Sampha makes that song.

I have a genuine question for you, @avclub-4ffb0d2ba92f664c2281970110a2e071:disqus. There are an endless array of things pertaining to black people that I discuss with other black people. Things I argue about vehemently and thoroughly, and there are also things I refrain from saying in mixed company—particularly terms…

Echoing the love for Banks! Love Goddess as a whole but I have listened to This Is What It Feels like so, so many times.

Literally came here to post that video.

Johnson is cute but he still looks like a puppy. Boudia on the other hand has matured quite nicely over the past 4 years.

I've really enjoyed some of Kotaku's articles but their commentariat is beyond atrocious. I miss the days when Gameological was an independent site (RIP), though I am thankful that at least it exists in a (truncated) capacity here.

I genuinely don't know what the fuck they were thinking with that article. While they've deleted the descriptions at this point, they potentially outed gay athletes using the app who came from countries where LGBT people are violently oppressed and/or likely to be jailed/killed. And the guy writing it was so anxious…
