Right on the money. I love the fact that ever so often new archaeological digs uncover new stuff that show us that “Oops! They were a lot more advanced than we thought...”

I don’t know, there’s quite a bit of recent archaeological evidence that suggests that the Vikings were much more literate than assumed. Most of what we know of the Vikings so far has been interpreted by some sexist point of views (in regards to warrior tombs and the gender of those buried there) and also through the…

Like, I know that the Vikings weren’t strictly colonists, but it already feels kinda weird raiding and sacking shit.

I mean, to be fair, you’re not playing as Eivor, you’re playing as Layla playing as Eivor, and Layla can definitely read, and the animus is always kind of vague as to how much influence the person using it has over the events that occur, including what things the character they’re playing as says. Mainly because it’s…

Don’t literacy-shame the game. If you want historical accuracy in your games, your character should just die of gangrene rather than healing with your “Herb pack” or whatever unrealistic BS they threw in this one.

I like the cut of your jib!

If he doesn’t want to go, let all the civilians leave then build a wall around the White House and turn it into the fanciest Federal Penitentiary in the country. We can build a new modern Presidential estate on the grounds where the current Trump hotel in DC is when we seize all his assets to pay for the wall.

Those definitely don't count. Ask Paris from Gilmore Girls.

My aunt made some comment about disliking how smug Kamala Harris looks while talking.

Their loss. It’s one of my favorites. Aveline was a great protagonist, the game didn’t overstay its welcome (a side effect of its start as a Vita game but honestly most mainline games in the series are just too large) and the integration of the setting with the gameplay tweaks to the series was top-notch.

I’m doing my part to compensate by playing Kassandra and solely crewing my ship with every single available female romance option in the game.

nobody ≠ I

This really isn’t even an outrage thing at this point, it’s more of a “How the fuck are you guys striking out with stuff that is THIS simple???”

meanwhile in the 90's.....

Well I think it was implied that Jake was the younger janitor and that the woman was someone he didn’t have the courage to talk to that he was imagining a relationship with. I wouldn’t necessarily say the characters are fake when they are real to the janitor.

To dismiss such a character as an ‘incel’ because of modern culture war bollix is so reductive. He’s a sad, socially awkward lonely man who has never been able to form meaningful relationships. More of a tragic figure. He’s had never harmed anyone, seemed relatively caring to his ageing parents and who uses his…

You didn’t read the part where the microtransactions are all cosmetic and can be earned in game, did you?

I mean, the only way PSX backwards compatibility is being ‘worked on’ in any capacity is a new classics program. The PlayStation 4's optical drive is incapable of reading CD-ROMs and I’d expect the PlayStation 5 follows suit. PlayStation 2 and 3 are a different story in so much as software-based emulation is possible…

Since I’ve listened to the You’re Wrong About episode of Marie Antoinette, I’ve noticed my reaction is completely different now when she’s used in the “eat the rich” kind of way. I just feel sad for her and the gilded cage she was born in.
