I really and truly believe that in most cases, digging up comments more than a year old reflects more on the person who did the digging than the person who said them originally.

controversial take here but I do not think restrictions on kids gaming time is bad - shouldn’t be government mandated at all though.

I think this is a take that only people who really spent too much time on tumblr during a certain period of time will appreciate. You’re right, of course, especially about the way it allowed for the hyper-crystalization of certain identities and aesthetic subcultures - and this is something that has impacts far beyond…

I can’t believe this is what people are claiming they’re traumatized over

I mean it’s the very same as the “video games need to be treated as serious art....how dare you critique the content of this game or give it a low rating!” people, but of a more progressive flavor. You can’t claim you want diverse, queer art and then get mad as soon as a piece of queer art does something that makes…

I don’t really see the point of this extended content warning. Most people I’ve seen griping have said “if I knew this was in the game, I wouldn’t have bought it”

it’s more than sufficient. people have just turned into babies unable to process that not all media they consume will be directly tailored to avoiding their personal hang ups and trauma

East coast born and raised black man. Here’s my take on that: I felt safer driving through Tennessee to Nashville & from Nashville to New Orleans, than I did traveling west through Pennsylvania. I saw more confederate flags in my few hours driving through middle of nowhere PA than I did the years I spent living in…

Nashville is 100% not worth stopping at if you’re on a BBQ tour. Get some hot chicken (from some place other than hattie b’s, for god sake) and a few drinks but otherwise keep it moving.

Yeah not to defend these guys at all but I would say for the most part not public knowledge in 2013. There was that joke in the 2009 30 Rock, as the cosby allegations were more of an open secret in the entertainment biz

if you want to get riled up read Batman: Devil’s Advocate.

I’ve never accepted any version of the Joker that can fight. I can accept him being super tricksy, having tons of gadgets, even just being super hard to land a punch on....but not that he could actually fight

That doesn’t feel accurate at all. The Dark Knight showed that even though the Joker could corrupt one person, he couldn’t corrupt Gotham (as shown by the citizens on the boats not blowing each other up)

you could tell they weren’t really confident in fleets (or spaces for that matter) when they didn’t roll them out to desktop users

I would love to know more about this shady world of auctions

nah less than $200 for sure

I was still trying to understand the Mario 64 sale but this is wild to me. I love Skyrim, still have the copy I got for the 360 (and I own it on every console I’ve bought since) but paying $600 for a copy sealed in plastic makes no sense

these popcorn flavors sound awful.

my only question is who is that lady in the photo at the header

thankfully the dreamcast I have can play games burned on a CD-R, so I’ve got MvC - but it would be nice to have a console fully modded into HD and loaded up with a ton of games
