JRPGs, 100%. I’m a Shakespeare nerd, and the earnest, over-the-top presentation of JRPGs is always exactly the kind of theatrical aesthetic I’m looking for. And also, turn-based combat is my jam. I want to hang out in a colorful, stylized worth with endearing characters who have campy dialogue.

Understandable in context.

I think Rowling would tell you that wizards don’t use tampons, they just magic the blood away.

I was hardcore into the HP online role-playing scene (via Livejournal and then EZBoard), and the only thing we ever did with Snape was have him teach in our annual wizard sex ed class thread, which went about as well as you think it did.

I have always been of the “wait til the inevitably superior second iteration of a console” school of thought. My backlog is typically so large that waiting isn’t a sacrifice, and improvements are usually worth it. I kept playing my DS Lite til I upgraded to a 3DS XL; I waited for the PS4 slim; and I’m patiently…

I think you over-estimate the influence that workers have over the CEOs of companies in the United States.

I guess they’ve just...given up on turn-based combat?

I came to the comments to see the shit-talking about Ubisoft, and I am not disappointed.

My parents were of the “video games rot your brain” school of thought, so I grew up with an Atari 5200 that my uncle bought us at a garage sale with a shoebox full of games for a dollar. My sister saved up her money and bought a GameBoy Color when we were in middle school, and I remember sneaking into her room to…

Well, I loved reading this review, but I also don’t have any real interest in flight simulators.

Purloin’s secret Mega Evolution.

On the one hand, this is objectively awesome. On the other hand, who the hell has that much hardwood floorspace? I can’t imagine these things work on carpet.

Japan does seem to have a strong culture of “this thing is available only for a limited time!!!” Maybe it has something to do with that line of thought?

I’ve been fascinated by everything I’ve read of Control’s story and setting, but I never even considered playing it because I physically can’t play shooters because of how I have to hold a modded controller with my tendonitis. Auto-aim will make this possible for me to play. I’m sure there are lots of gamers with…

Did y’all hire the Tachikoma voice actor from GitS: SAC for your trailer? Because that would indeed nail the “adorable yet deadly” vibe.

I will load back my save if I do something that harms a virtual character, because the guilt is overwhelming. There’s a lot of Undertale content that I will never see because the idea of harming any of those delightful creatures is intolerable.

Future generations will attend college classes on the sociological structures of EVE: Online’s culture.

I’m generally a turn-based-only kind of gamer, but I play Fall Guys once or twice a week for 30 minutes a pop. I’m awful at it, and I don’t share the hyped obsession, but it’s fun. Mostly I enjoy the novelty of a battle royale game which involves no shooting, and after this success (and the earlier success of the…

Pro-tip: I would not recommend Goggle image searching “Poke Futa.”

I’m annoyed because the DualSense looks trickier to mod than the DualShock due the way the buttons are formed, and Sony hasn’t announced any plans for an adaptive controller yet. Seems to me like a new console would be a great time to catch up with Microsoft on that front.
