Mmmm, taste that glorious all-digital future.

Maybe he should have pretended his name was Vincent Callo

Not sure how it’s a “weird complaint”.  It’s something that has existed in modern GTA games, and now it’s apparently going away.  You can disagree with my complaint if you want, but it’s not ‘weird’ just because.

Man, I really need to get into the Yakuza games, don’t I. Are the earlier ones more self-serious, or have they always had what seems to be a pretty tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek tone?

I don’t think it’s every gamer who feels that way, but the sentiment certainly is more prominent than I would have thought a few years ago. It really felt like the community at large fought for a long time for games to be seen and respected as art as much as other storytelling mediums; now it feels like there’s at…

I mean, they literally walk past a very well furbished (and apparently popular) gym in the WLF base.  And they aren’t suffering from any shortage of food / protein if the population of that base and their farming is anything to go by.

Yeah, exactly.  I might think Grogu has taken the ‘top’ spot, but Elon is definitely still a podium contender.

You seem fun. I bet you’re fun.

Can we just come to grips at this point with the fact that “Grogu" is a terrible damn name, even by Star Wars standards?  It rolls off the tongue like something resembling acid reflux.  Like I can't even possibly conceive of what they were thinking with that, especially with a character that they obviously intended to…

I have strangely found enjoyment in Fromsoft’s output, though I never thought I would, and I definitely have to beat my proverbial head against the wall repeatedly for most of the bosses. I agree with you on their design philosophy, the way they tell their stories is incredibly obtuse and obnoxious; I think that’s why…

Welcome to the glorious all digital future where nobody owns anything and ‘your’ games can be taken away from you just because.  Hurrah.

I bought a 2018 Ford Fusion hybrid about 3 years ago for well under $35k and I’ve been pretty pleased with it. Generally get about 47-49 mpg out of it over the course of the warm months; drops significantly during the winter unfortunately, but overall it’s been a great car.

$70 games were an inevitability at this point, and in terms of sheer power, Nintendo’s systems have been more iterative than revolutionary for the last few generations.  As long as they continue putting out what I come to Nintendo for, c’est la vie.

He basically started publicly caping for JK Rowling.

Like... he's not even telling goddamn jokes. He and his defenders try to pass it all off as people being too uptight, but one of his supposed 'jokes' is him literally just saying that trans people are holding LGB people back. That was it. No 'punchline', no nothing. Literally just that statement.

That's basically what his story boils down to. "I'm not socially allowed to be a dick to visibly trans people 😭😭"

You’d think he’d recognize the irony in him laying claim to his jokes not being shitty and bigoted because he “had a trans friend".

Is he still going on about being "canceled"? It feels more and more like bullshit with every multi-million dollar comedy special, Dave.

I mean, you could have said that about the Apes franchise prior to the newest trilogy and yet they turned out to be far and away the best in the series.
