I’d say never buy a season pass. I can think of two games that actually had high quality season passes that made them worth it: Dishonored (1) and Bioshock Infinite. For all other games it’s just a) some extra in-game crap at the start to make it easier, b) one pretty darn good DLC, c) two mediocre DLCs. Better to…

I’m not too upset about this one. If someone wants to pay $10 extra to pay Tomb Raider two days early it’s no skin off my nose.  Like purely cosmetic stuff, if someone wants to blow their money on that, go for it - they’re subsidizing me.

Yeah, okay, the Chargers are inversely good based on how important the game is. Get them near the playoffs, or god forbid the Superbowl, and they choke like Linda Lovelace. But since this is a no-consequence game they can be really good.

If you’re getting your ass kicked by the Chargers it might be time for a Come to Jesus moment and re-evaluating your life. Plus that whole being on the Bills thing.

All that jerking, retroactively ruined.

This seems like a personal thing.

I do pay attention to firmware numbers and avoid anything that’s x.0.0 because it usually has some pretty major bugs lurking. Otherwise no.

This is probably the game that most needs it, since it had the worst quest scripting in the entire series. Maybe people won’t hate Connor quite so much when they’re not being randomly killed by stupidly tight and restrictive scripting (caught the guy too fast? You die!) and just the absolute worst ‘stealth’.

Technically it’s just outgassing plastics and other cancerous volatiles, like milder nail polish, but nothing smells quite like it (even CD cases smelled different, different plastics) so it’s the smell of ‘oh boy, unboxing a new vidya game!’ I do not huff my game cases, but there is a waft when you first open it…

To go with this there have been some minor studies on people who did not grow up with bacon (orthodox jews, other countries where bacon is not a thing) on whether they find the smell of bacon overwhelmingly delicious.

They like X, been holding MacOS there for over 15 years.

I am absolutely calling it the ‘ex ess’, though at least you can say either ‘ten ess’ or ‘ex ess’ without sounding like an idiot.

The ones about non-consensual molestation tend to not make it over here (which is fine with me). Many of the ones about underage consensual make it over here with the characters ‘promoted’ to age 18 even when it’s obviously false. Up till now the games on Steam like Nekopara have had these scenes removed (though that…

The same chicken-hawks who were never in the military but you’d never know it by the amount of camo they wear.

Yeah, it’s gotta be local co-op or what’s the point.  And then you need enough friends you could play that with who won’t be freaked out or get funny ideas.

Genital Jousting is pretty fun - but only multiplayer. :)

When your game makes EA look like benevolent caretakers, even after walking it back, you may have some problems.

‘adult’ just means ‘porn’. Even if it were one of the many, many Japanese games about molesting pre-teens it’d still be ‘adult’.

And 99.9% of these are going to be terrible, but oh well. 99% of Steam is already terrible. Whatever gets Kindred Spirts on the Roof and Ladykiller in a Bind on safe footing.

This look just doesn’t work for him - his head should be swole 10x normal size rather than his body.
