It’s nice in Disco Elysium how the very first thing you have to do is convince your character to even bother waking up - as both his animal hindbrain and limbic system try to convince him to just stay asleep forever. You get the benefits of the dark screen raise and a ‘combat’ situation.

That’s just ‘making a decent product’. And sure, they do that. I use their Taipan mouse because it’s the best ambidextrous mouse I could find - and I can turn that moronic pulsing light off.

I find the whole basic idea that Razer would be in the ‘Most Innovative Companies’ on a Fast Company scale strange. The company’s run like the 1800s, and what have they actually ‘innovated’ recently other than even stupider lighting, their dumb digital currency, and PewDiePie branded headphones (It’s real, I shit you…

I honestly believe that ad might appeal to Peleton’s target audience of rich white pod people.

I just got the name from the playstation blog and assumed it was a he because it’s Kevin, but had no idea who they were before that.

Looks this was done by Kevin Bao aka Kevinpool - he’s the director and animator as per https://www.jp.playstation.com/blog/detail/9181/20191129-ps4.html .

Like, you know, it totally is, but like, you know, if he’s, like, totally annoying I don’t think it’s William’s job to edit stuff in, like, the middle of a big quote, to you know, like, make him look smarter.

It’s not like a bunch of people were saying ‘Wow, Massoud is so great in the regrettable live action remake of the much better cartoon you need to go see it anyhow!’

Abe Vigoda was still alive?

This seems pretty reasonable to me. You chose to play in a post-apocalyptic hellhole setting which you knew would be almost entirely populated by assholes: aka, other players.

Google doesn’t know who they’re selling to.

Holy crap, I am super looking forward to seeing how the Tesla fanboys defend this one.  It should be very popcorn.

Next: You have the dream where it’s finals week and you suddenly remember you had a class that you’d forgotten to attend all semester.

Feature incomplete is an alpha. It doesn’t really matter how long they’ve been working on it, some finished games (post-alpha, post-beta) are done in a week.

One of the best games I’ve played this year, Remedy’s at the top of their game.

What the fuck did you expect from a paid alpha? It’s working (or not) as you should have expected.

You might - Shenmue is just a lot more laid back than Yakuza. Instead of the hustle and bustle of Kabukicho you’ve got much larger area and stuff is more spread out, you spend more time just walking around, there’s relatively a lot less fighting and the mini-games are yes, more sedate.

Probably not - I figure MTV is rich greasy old bastard Boomers with GenX managers telling Millenials what to do to market to Gen Z

I know it’s overdone, but... OK, Boomers seems perfect for this one.

I think this is going to be impossible to enjoy unless you’ve already played Shenmue and Shenmue 2 - in which case you already know what you’re in for.
