Ben’s just mad that his wife saw Styles in that dress and now she has bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonis.

This is a really fantastic review! First time I’ve noticed your byline, hope to see a lot more from you in the future.

I was already excited for this but then you casually mention that there’s fishing?! If it’s a remotely decent mechanic then I might play this forever. Sounds like most of the evolutions from the last two have been received well, can’t wait to dive into this.

Great review Zack. I jumped on the AC train with Origins, so I don’t have the allegiance to the previous games. But Origins and Odyssey are two of my favorite comfort-food games, so I’m really excited for this. Glad to see they’re pushing things while still keeping the (very enjoyable to me) bones in place.

I’m sorry that my having an angry difference of opinion with someone else (?) in a comment section at an intensely emotionally-charged time was so unbearable for you. Obviously it was of vital importance for some Euro dude to gleefully express his schadenfreude at this moment, I should have been more thankful for his…

I look forward to your travelogue on how intensely different farts smell on the Rhine.

What the fuck is “Europe here”? You’re going to be a smug prick and not even admit what country you’re from? Because Albania and Belarus and Germany and Portugal and Greece are all the same politically and socially, right?

But the donations are all categorized as “Money to candidates” not “Money to parties” (as is, for example, Kotick’s donation to the Maine GOP) or “Unknown” (as it seems to categorize PACs) so either this aggregation is poorly/inaccurately labeled or my point stands.

Um, I’m probably missing a loophole somewhere, but isn’t Kotick giving Graham $10,000 in one day a violation of campaign finance limits? https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/contribution-limits/

Yeah, I thought that section was incredibly interesting, too. Really brings to life how conspiracy theories and misinformation can suck in people who are perfectly capable of decency and humanity. I’d be curious to learn more about those two and their response to the movie as well.

That sounds really shitty, I’m sorry you have to live with that. I hope you’re able to find a better job soon.

I can think it’s shitty the way CDPR treats it’s workers and I can think it’s even shittier the way Amazon treats it’s workers. It’s not an either-or scenario. 

I think it’s equally silly to assume the devs overpromised on timing as it is to assume they deserve/want sympathy or that they are at all hard-done by. It’s all imagined.

Let’s not forget also that it’s the devs that quoted how long it would take to produce the output in the first place.

Damn. I’ve never worked more than an ~80 hour week and those have absolutely annihilated me. Feel awful for the devs, and also others on staff who probably have to crunch around this too. And all the infantile screeching about the delay on social media can’t be helping.

The recurring bit with her on-again/off-again marriage(s) to Gar- Mr. Marshall was one of my all-time favorite CBB gags.

Musicians are cows now? Cool, cool. Understanding that streaming is a livelihood for some people and that it sucks that this threatens that livelihood, and I do recognize that, do you see how the exact same argument can be made by musicians whose music is used without permission? So maybe this isn’t a black-and-white…

This is, of course, hilariously wrongheaded; it’s not like streamers are raking in dough because viewers trawl the site, vainly searching through millions of channels for the one streamer who’s playing their favorite song at any given moment.

In theory, the next logical step would be a platform specifically dedicated to VR, with a massive library of exclusives from major studios that I love like Insomniac.

So... three? I count three games. I guess that’s a lot compared with, um, me?
