I’m just surprised that in so many of the anti-preorder arguments, putting down money is one of the big arguments against it. I pre-order all the time on amazon. You don’t pay any money in advance.

I have no issue with your operation, honestly. I have friends that ERP in FFXIV - I think it can be a wonderful for certain folks. ERP doesn’t bother me - what bothers me is Cecilia’s focus on it with two articles about it this past week, and especially with snide minor comments about finding it weird or gross or…

Oh, good lord. Give it a rest.

...seriously?

So..Cuphead is racist? Because it didn’t go full racist? 2017 cartoon game is supposed to not be fun and feel guilty about what happened 100 years ago? Are we all racist? Am I racist? Is a cigar just a cigar?
