If all you took from the design of Dark Souls is “make it punishing,” I guess that’s on you.

I’ll definitely agree that Dark Souls is a whole different animal from Metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, but you can’t deny that the design philosophy of Dark Souls has seeped into a metric boatload of other games and genres since it arrived on the scene.

WHCA on the president encouraging assaulting reporters: “That’s terrible. Unpresidential. Don’t support a president who doesn’t uphold the laws he swore to uphold.”

I’m not saying I wish they’d both have rage strokes, but I’m not saying I’m *not* saying that.

certainly one of the best games ever made where you can recruit cat-people to fight with you

No no no, Mario just knows how to dress in style.

Amazing. Thanks for that.

President Donald Trump claimed the U.S. officially requested the audio from Turkey—hedging with “if it exists”—and was cagey when asked whether the American government would task the FBI with tracking down the recording of Khashoggi’s murder, responding to a reporter, “Maybe we have... why should I tell you?”

I think you’re right in that the music is what sets the mood for these scenes, and the mood it sets is inconsisent with the message the scenes should be delivering. I can buy the family connecting and trying to heal as a result of seeing Nell and saving Luke, but Sab’s explanation above really is on point. For all the…

I’m extremely confused about this. Warren said she had Native American ancestry. Trump yelled “POCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTAS.” Elizabeth Warren took a DNA test that showed she has Native American ancestry. And she’s the villain here?

Holy Jeez, the Chappie and Bumblebee cosplays. :O

I’m not going to stand here and say to you that the president of the United States should be held to a higher standard, but...

Hey. Preznit Stable Genius has seen plenty of documentaries on TV about those scanners, so quit moving the goalposts, libtard.

Bear in mind that the midterms have not happened yet, and we have not won them yet, and if we rest on our laurels, as these comments from Trump show he clearly wants us to do, we won’t win. Do *not* count your chickens before they hatch. Stay fucking angry, and vote on November 6.

Get some new material.

Always love it when the 24-hour comic rolls around.

I think the 30-60 demographic is the time when white dudes start realizing how pathetic they are, and start wondering how they managed to waste away their entire lives without accomplishing anything, and by extension, how they can prevent those uppity minorities from accomplishing stuff too. They cling to what little…

Generally, I’m on team “half of something is better than all of nothing,” as several people are saying in this comment section, and I still am. But Kavanaugh was one of the biggest, most important decisions facing senators in the recent past, and decisions of that importance and lasting impact *have* to go the right…

I’d be laughing more if we didn’t inhabit the darkest timeline. Take it seriously, and destroy Palin between now and 2022. We’ve seen what happens if we treat these people with kid gloves.

I think part of my enjoyment of games is learning the rules and then working within those rules to accomplish something. In an open world game, that means exploring and finding dangerous, hard to reach areas. When you’re up high, the rule is “don’t fall or else you’re going to be a red smear when you land,” and it…
