“Anyway, now I’m about seven hours into TLoU2, and I think that’s deep enough to say that something catastrophically bad would have to happen, either mechanically or story-wise, to possibly drop it down even to like a five out of ten.”

I mean, the Left Behind DLC has a user score over 8.0, and that’s where Ellie came out as a lesbian in the first place.

There is plenty of scummy behavior on police forces, that’s for sure. I still don’t know where folks get off making blanket, absolutist statements like ACAB. But then again, we live in the era of DJT, and painting entire swaths of the population in one stroke, thereby demeaning individuals who haven’t a corrupt bone…

Coming in with the hot take that’s going to piss a lot of people off, but fuck it -

Maybe I’m cynical, but I have trouble believing that we, as a society, can function without any sort of policing whatsoever.

interestingly—for Nintendo’s lawyers if nobody else—

WOW. This was worth reading for the description of Gleipnir alone. I’d never heard about this show before, but now I’m simultaneously intrigued and weirded out. Sounds like an interesting watch.

BNA enjoys Studio Trigger’s usual visual appeal and a premise full of interesting concepts. It’s pretty fun overall, but very little of its plot sees any follow-through. It’s clear the show is trying to say something, but never entirely apparent what that might be.

It is!  My friend made it!

I like the one with the light novel type name.

“That puzzle game everyone knows but I can’t call it that for legal reasons”

We should do a ranking of the best titles in that bundle. Here are just some examples:
