I love the theory of the open world western RPG, but the execution tends to be beyond lacking. Mostly due to lofty goals and technological limits.

Faxanadu is one of my favorite NES games. You hit the nail on the head, Alexandra. The music and atmosphere make it. The graphics are great (for 1987/9) and the gameplay is solid. Bu the music is top notch,.

Man, if pressed I’d probably say some Final Fantasy piece, but in reality the songs I sing most in my head are probably:

Funny enough, her appearance on Letterman’s My Next Guest... shows exactly this. She pretty much berates her staff and shows zero interest in them, their opinions, or treating them like people.

Hi millennial white dude that often reads your articles, but never comments. I can’t speak for all millennial white dudes, but here’s what I can tell you about my perspective (best I can do, I suppose)

you look like a neat dude

yeah... the material calculation is all wrong on the weapons for this article. I think it ends up being 15 or 16 enhancement cores only for weapons. Armor has the complicated upgrade plan.

“People like that are exactly who I’m referring to,” he said. “When you’re called a Nazi, a bigot, a racist, a sexist, a transphobe, and a misogynist for absolutely no reason, and that kind of dehumanization occurs for literally years, needless to say it’s probably not the safest scene out there for me right now.”

Set up the shootings? Either party? You’re joking, right?

lol. Too much to do?! You don’t have to do it all! Enjoy the fact the game has grown so much!

I saw the headline and said to myself “Negra Modelo, duh”. Was glad to see it was the first beer brought up. It goes well with almost anything. Lounging, eating, drinking... ANYTHING!

This loophole has been around since the launch of Black Armory. But nobody cared because mats weren’t an issue.

Great article Gita!
