It’s not limited to the holidays. Amazon has been deliberately lying about delivery times for orders for a couple of years now. I was an early Prime adopter and literally only buy from Amazon if the item is listed as Prime eligible. Items don’t show up and Amazon tries to tell me the item wasn’t Prime eligible. I…

I liked the “creative deckbuilding decisions” garbage. There is no such thing as creativity in this game, it just means the “best” deck will change. The only deciding factor is whether you want to spend the money to build it. 

I love Macross, it’s one of my favorite series. And they don’t show how the pilots control those mechs for a reason haha

They never really did. The central ruleset of Hearthstone is incredibly lacking, creating a bias for a very small number of deck archetypes. They developed the game with a focus on eliminating opponent input on a player’s turn, which severely hamstrung the game itself in the process.

* with mods. In this case, primarily Infernal Robotics which provides the hinge mechanics. That does not in any way take away from how complex and awesome builds of this calibur are.

but what was with the trend of having some dude narrate basically the entire plot of the movie?

But Blizzard isnt profiting off it

It’s not about using the dance. It’s about SELLING the dance as add-on content without giving proper credit and compensation.

That’s like saying you can’t own a song, cause we all have voices. Can’t own a book, cause we all have fingers to write. Can’t own a game, cause can all type code. Absurd argument.

Because based on what we know of this series so far, IT WILL NEVER END.

Offering warning and severance to those who relied on HOTS to make a living! I hope this is a catalyst to eSports players unionizing.

Touching people’s testicals  is sexual harassment. Repeatedly touching them is repeated sexual harassment. Farting on people is like, beyond sexual harassment. I can’t think of any job on the fucking planet where these things wouldn’t constitute grounds for immediate termination, and especially when you’re one of the…

I love the idea that you can get away with anything as long as you stop once you’ve been called out for it.

It’s almost like this is what actual ethical games journalism looks like and not, y’know, sending death threats to Zoe Quinn.

Imagine for one moment being an adult COO at a company that big and farting intentionally in front of someone else, much less positioning yourself dramatically to fart on the face of someone you work with. I haven’t seen someone do that since elementary school.

Don’t give a shit if I get dragged for this, but:

As Kotaku’s “connoisseur of Japanese smut games” Mike Fahey once put it, “characters fall into the uncomfortably young category, but rest assured they are whatever age they need to be to ensure publisher NIS America doesn’t get arrested.”

The creators of Sonic the Hedgehog have said that the game is primarily about industrialization’s negative effect on the environment. Games have always been political, especially as games started to reflect real life more.

Games, like any art, are political. A game or company might not be PRIMARILY political, but there is a political element to every game, every company. Labor, wages, representation, speech—all part of making a game or expressed within a game, all political.
