I wish there was a setting that strangers could message me, but only if I played a game with them.

Bah! Clickbait. There’s nothing Monkey Island related here.

Counterpoint: No, it isn’t.

I’m disappointed. I thought the title said you were ranking foreskins.

I type on a computer.

Good.

Try reading what I said before you comment.

Oh, you’re back.

Paradise is the only Burnout game that ever held my interest.

I never had the impulse to destroy other people’s stuff. Still like destroying things in games.

I’m exactly in the same boat. The Amiibo craze just never captured my attention, but I sure would like a little Solaire by my side.

Why is Major smiling? Is she being hacked?

You’d think her brain still needs some chemical energy to keep functioning. Still, I’d think that she doesn’t need to eat, but can just choose to. In the movie, Batou talked about how they can drink as much alcohol as they want and not get drunk due to their company-owned parts.

Hooly dooly!

It would have probably been better just to have black censor bars. It looks ugly, but at least it’s clear that they aren’t misrepresenting historical art.

You know, when I first saw a 1080p TV, I didn’t notice anything special. It wasn’t until after getting used to watching a 1080p TV did I notice that standard definition looked like blurry garbage.

Your mind is good at filling in gaps, and, I think, when you stop forcing it to do the work, that’s when you notice it.

Heh. I’m the kind of asshole that this line fell kind of flat for me. I mean, half his ancestry was incredibly privileged. And while it’s possible that some of his ancestors threw themselves from the boat, he’s definitely a direct decedent of one who didn’t.

The trial by combat bothers me more as a thematic element, rather than world-building one. I mean, I can conceive how a benevolent monarchy would be a good system of government, and Wakanda has just knocked it out of the park for all this time.

What if loot boxes weren’t gambling, but still harmful enough to do something about?

I don’t see how you make the conclusion that the problems today in the video game industry started with Atari, when the toxic culture was stamped out in ‘76. Especially when you add that women ended up having worse experiences after leaving Atari.
