Yeah, sure. I’m purely reacting to the story as told and the quotes as quoted.

“Lying” in the sense that not telling someone the ending to Sixth Sense is lying. And the reaction as described seems far beyond what one might reasonably expect.

That’s a framing in which both players are making decisions for both characters as a party. Which isn’t invalid, but the language used - “your wife hates you”, “I’ve been poor my whole life” - implies they were relating to their characters, rather than playing them abstractly. Thus the choice they’re playing out isn’t…

This is... bizarre to say the least. Like, you were playing a fictional character in a video game. And in-universe, it’s even more unhinged - under what “ethical” framework could someone demand you let them kill you?

No see clearly the source material was the problem, because according to the article there's no such thing as a bad adaptation.

These things have a tendency to circle back though. GamerGate was basically the prototype for the Trump campaign.

It was the crypto boom that really drove prices up.

Nah, you can be really into something without making it or the community around it a part of your identity. It’s the difference between “this is a thing I’m into” and “being into this is something I am”.

Oh hey, it’s today’s reminder that fandom is inherently toxic.

Damn, that sucks.

I’ve been pretty impressed with how well it runs on a launch PS4.

“The biggest issue during development appears to be a clash between the fundamental design of Elden Ring and Tencent’s goals with a mobile version of the game... [said to be] free-to-play but pulls in billions through in-app purchases.”

The thing to remember is that most truly bad movies, no-one really gives a fuck about. It’s when people came in with expectations that that they really kick off.

You can’t really have Squirrel Girl without Doom, though.

Now that I think about it, it’s deliciously ironic that jumping the gun on trying to kill physical is what cost them the first digital generation.

Pretty much all writing regarding the MCU is straight-up clickbait ever since the Scorcese thing. It’s so depressingly cynical.

Oh hey, I got to one of these the day it went up :P
This weekend’s for playing in a friend’s Pathfinder game (Abomination Vaults - send thoughts and prayers); prepping to run a DnD 5e game next week (One Page Adventures, which I run as a series of pseudo-one-shots), and if I can carve out an afternoon, flopping on the…

When people talk about retro gaming, they’re talking about older platforms. That’s how the term’s always been used.

We need to resist it. The backlash to the XBone staved it off for two generations; if the resistance continues then so will physical.

See, this just feels like a niche case to me. Not to say it’s not good for those that use it, but is sharing the game concurrently with one person worth trading off the ability to lend and share the game without such limits?
