I’m going to hop back onto my soapbox to assert that GTA V would have been substantially better if Michael were a woman. Every single relationship gets better:

wild how i wrote this to specifically call out halo infinite then didnt even need to mention it by name

So, not the startup sound, just the “chug” that played on PS1 and PS2 ads when the logo showed up?

Idk how she does it. That brand of toxicity definitely stopped me from playing competitive online games with open voice chat + randos and she’s getting it way worse. Heck even LoL text chat was a bridge too far. I’m already subjecting myself to the grind of ranked play. Why do I need to also bathe in whatever sexist/r…

This article should say, “Your longtime crush, Melanie Lynskey,” but I guess there’s more of an audience than just me.

Found one.

Referring to women as “females” is like the free space on a MRA / incel bingo card. It’s fucking weird and gross, and a dead giveaway that they don’t see women even remotely as equals.

Meh, Redfall looks like a boring modern Bioshock ripoff, and everything else is even more meh.

I realize I am in the minority, but I can’t stand GTA online. For me, the game is the single player story. Those who feel like I do were let down by Rockstar because they added nothing to the single player experience.

I guess that’s where the money is, but playing GTA Online was one of the worst experiences I have had…

I can already see it, Steam Deck is great, but what we will really love is Steam Deck 2. It will get a couple of great quality of life upgrades, and we will all eagerly anticipate Steam Deck 3, but that will never come out.

A wholesome story. Slow cook, amateur game, supported over years of development by a loyal, cult following, who a.) rallied to support the developers in a time of crisis and b.) now want to buy the long-building, overhauled, full version for - let’s be honest - a modest price? Don’t tell me gamers are toxic. Trolls…

You’re alone on the ship, you’re out of fuel. You desperately search around the few asteroids in the system scavenging what little you can find. But you’ve stayed too long. You hear the footsteps, he’s here. And all that fills you is dread as they speak.

As a historian of ancient Rome, it really annoys me how far-right shitheads have tried to turn the entire Latin language into a dog whistle.

You forgot to mention how during the final meeting with Jefferson there’s a strange NPC called Mr Blue Eyes on one of the balconies to the left watching on before the couple “choose” to cut all contact.

The theory that this is an AI is my favourite because the implications are far worse than if it’s a corporation pulling the strings.

I have been playing KSP for that long too.

I have never once been good at it.

Not a complaint, mind, just a statement of fact. I love KSP. I have never once been any good at it at all. This makes me sad.

There’s always money in the banana stand

This best part is all the made up rules they use for “Fairness” but boils down to “you have to play my way or you’re cheating”

Seems that way, yeah. Couldn’t give less of a shit about PvP, but YouTube wouldn’t shut the fuck up about it.

I made an AI farm with a ridiculous amount of tankage, then went exploring for a few days while it filled.
