I thought Return of Monkey Island was fantastic. I preordered it and it was well worth the money. My favorite part is that the puzzles are as difficult as I remember them being in the older games, but there is always an option to get a hint without penalty, so that the game is welcoming for those of us who don’t have…

Still waiting on a Return to Monkey Island review, but I guess yet another update on what a Twitch streamer pulled out of their nose this morning will have to do.

Ted Cruz is simultaneously a maximally awful person to everyone, and someone who obviously doesn’t ever believe a word of what he says. Ivy League guy slumming it with the yokels because nobody is ever too much of a jerk to get elected by Republicans.

Still waiting on that Return to Monkey Island review though...

I didn’t research the comment too hard, was just a complaint about how they take way too long to make games that are kind of small iterations on formulas. I know they used to build engines from scratch.

“Jason!"

The alternative is the Nintendo approach, where you throw out everything before, remake an entirely new engine from scratch, and it takes ten years and feels almost exactly like the last game in the series (but now you can turn into a wolf or your pink ones can fly or your hat catches coins just off the platform edge).…

In fairness, MTG was only elected by one district, while the state as a whole voted for both Biden and Warnock.

For what it's worth I'm the opposite. I set the combat to Story mode and enjoyed the platforming. 

I’m playing the first one now. It’s pretty good and would be great if it were a little more player-friendly. The map function doesn’t work so well, and it’s too easy to start going in circles if you don’t guess the right path toward objectives (or back to the ship). But I like that you can turn the combat difficulty…

The interesting thing about Kotaku is that in any story that is in any way related to any Japanese person, place, or thing, there will always be at least one commenter to tell us, “Let me explain how all this is just a symptom of all Japanese people being exactly the same, I know because I went to Japan once.”

Ha, Mitch is afraid to even say his name. Some “denunciation.”

I gotta be honest, I was so cynical that I thought Dr. Oz’s grifter schtick would work. It feels like we almost never get karmic retribution anymore, but humiliating Mehmet “need some tequila for my crudites” Oz is joyous.

Even before Lone Skum bought Twitter, I saw plenty of stories that just had a screenshot of a tweet, and if I wanted to check its validity, it was easy enough to search for the tweet. Besides, live-linking breaks if someone deletes the tweet or makes their account private, and the internet is filled with graveyards of…

I haven’t had it in a while, but the copper-colored cans are caffeine-free Diet Coke, right? And the silver ones are caffeinated Diet Coke?

Every time there’s a story about how awful Elon and/or Twitter is, it seems like there are Twitter links embedded. It just encourages traffic for that garbage site. Screenshots work just as well, especially since the tweet embedded here just says the same thing that’s in the article.

I hate Twitter and deleted my account months ago, so...maybe rethink your assumptions? Is it conceivable you might be wrong? I thought you were unfair to the guy who responded to you. He was not being defensive. That’s all. I don’t know why this is such a big deal to you.

Imagine thinking “a rich person is getting richer right at this moment, gosh that makes me feel better.”

Still holding out hope for a review of that new Monkey Island game.

Weird how you rewrote my post and made it all-caps and changed all the words. It sounds like you know your victim complex wasn’t really justified here, and you have to rewrite the rest of the world in order to keep up this fantasy.
