It definitely is baffling. I always think about the “yelling out of a train car” metaphor. If you can’t shout it at someone from a moving train car and be 100% understood by the bystander, then it’s not simple enough. Playstation 5 communicates well. Playstation 4 vs Playstation 4 Pro communicates their differences…

Gonna make a recommendation to just check out Line of Duty instead, which is what I presume this show is inspired by. The entire show isn’t in an interrogation room but the interrogations are easily the best part, and literally can take up more than half a given episode. Tense as hell. Cat-and-mouse game of wits of…
Nah I’m not turned against it. I mentioned in another comment having gone through a similar situation, and now when I look back on when I thought the times are good I can now see tons of smaller moments in the past that make more sense in the lens of the dynamics of our friendship not being what I was encouraged to…
WE know it, but will people know in 30 years? How well? It’s important to keep a record of even the most obvious things.
I related to this harder than I expected. I had a friend I considered very close suddenly stop giving a damn “where it counted.” It sucks so hard to realize that the person that you were lead into trusting doesn’t actually give a damn about you. Granted, my friend isn’t the wife of a racist egomaniac mobster, so I…
It’s more about the trend than any specific example, that too often writers (namely ones writing about groups they aren’t a member of) can’t help but indulge a little too intensely in the misery and pain and death of their oppressed characters. “Misery porn.” You can say “yeah everybody gets fricked up in this game…
Saying people have to actively and visibly offended for something to be of bad taste is like saying a tree doesn’t make a sound if it falls in a forest with nobody around to hear it.
Root for the antitrust investigations that will use this kerfuffle as evidence against big-tech. Everybody else is a mess.
They’re not against stores getting a cut (they run their own game store that takes a cut of sales) they just think 30% is WAY too high a number (their store only takes 12%)
This is literally the opposite of “games make people violent” arguments. It’s trying to make violence LESS violent, more abstract, by associating it with the experience of playing video games.
Not unfamiliar territory. United States Navy uses an Xbox controller for the periscopes of their submarines. In a vacuum it makes sense since it’s a cheap and ergonomic piece of hardware with different types of inputs. But this tank situation is different since it seems to be leaning hard into video game imitation…
It wouldn’t be out of place. People speak in native languages with accents native to that language too, so a game of people speaking their native language (which we hear as english translated) should reflect that.
As the other commenter said, they’re emulating Rocket League’s rise. Also to note, this is a paid battle royale game. It NEEDS users to fill servers in order for the game to be worth buying. And since the game is planned to have crossplay down the line, this will help sell PC copies too.
Sure but its meaning has expanded to refer to smaller budgeted/teamed games on occasion too. Our language is a mess and pearl clutching narrow definitions gets tiring, just go with the flow.

It’s incredible. I think i weeped laughing when i first started watching. Excited for the final episode to drop imminently.
Paradox selling expansions isn’t a sign of a comeback, that’s how they’ve always functioned.
Glad for this, spiders mess me up. Some games i can tolerate em but others not. Skyrim has a spider to bear mod that is essential for me. Trust me i know it’s illogical more than anybody but damn if they make me crazy uncomfortable.
No mention of the environment? Hell of a lot better to have all your customers recharging their controller batteries, and not needing to manufacture any external hardware to recharge those batteries.
