Good post with relevant context and I hope your name is a ref to the Lawrence band <3

RIP. Tokyo Godfathers was an extremely formative movie for me. Compassionate, funny, and clever on a level rarely seen. Thank you Keiko.

surprise and shocker of the century: the games business is about making money. don’t spend money on the game, say your piece in a non-shitty way to the devs in whatever avenue and move on. The fact that you even typed out "harass until..." is pathetic and you should go touch grass.

i mean also what a gross oversimplification of like, basically everything wrong with the world, our country, our gov’t in one self-indulgent comment w the righteous indignation of someone who spends too much time watching lin manuel miranda movies and playing videogames. you didn’t even mention climate change but you…

i mean i know you’re frustrated but bc of this specific bill on this specific website, i gotta lol. like where u been bruh, this is the straw for you??

most MMO developers I know of do have someone on hand who fills this role, or is an expert at MMO economies.

My account is shadow banned but shit like this is allowed to proliferate? Ugh

Okay, I get where you’re coming from but the post comes off wildly misinformed about the nature of hacking and the history of hacking. Look up ‘white hat’ hacking.

yes

i, ‘a gay’, have been reading this website for at least 15 years and by golly i don’t know whether to cry at how much i hate the annoying tone of articles like this or rejoice in that maybe i will finally get off my ass and do something with my life to distract myself from reading garbage like this anymore

Funny thing about IRC is that all Twitch chats are IRC channels

Frankly, the world is somehow 60% bros who don’t believe in ever doing anything, saying anything, standing up for yourself, or anyone else because it is ‘’pointless’. Funnily enough, these guys will also get louder about how ‘pointless’ it is, the less it effects them personally. Even they who have read the same…

You think a league of legends MMO would save the genre? Or are you being facetious?

I think Amazon will be okay

“To say that they should’ve made actors EPs or had them in the writers rooms is ridiculous, why should they get opportunities outside of their areas of expertise just because of the fact that they are South Korean? What if they suck at writing? Acting and writing are two completely different skill sets and to give…

Fair enough, honestly I was speaking from a gut reaction to the material I’d seen of Backbone and I can’t really back it up with anything substantial... but it was good hearing your point of view. Thanks for the dialogue.

I’m not really a fan of Blacksad either, in fact I have no skin in the game in that regard. What I’m discussing is review as a function of media literacy and history... games that obviously very heavily lift from cultural touchstones should be discussed in that way. I guess I find it frustrating that lazy writers get…

Backbone isn’t ‘adapted from’ Blacksad, it only wholly lifts the concept, narrative, and creative direction from Blacksad. Not to say that noir and talking animals wasn’t a concept before that, but literally the plot of Blacksad is uncovering a racist conspiracy with extremely similar art and characters. What I’m…

Another article about this game, another complete lack of reference of any sort to ‘Blacksad’. If I made a videogame version of a famous Hollywood movie, let’s say The Birds, I would expect reviewers to at some time mention the movie The Birds. How are videogame reviews so culturally myopic? 

I read chemical engineering news regularly and chemicals in common products are found to be toxic regularly. Your trust in chemists working for companies trying to sell you new stuff constantly is astounding & probably unwarranted. I think using the simplest solution when appropriate is best rather than waiting to…
