Anyone who works a regular job in the public sector would refuse something like this because the standard is you can’t even have the “appearance of a conflict of interest.” A student got me a chocolate-covered fruit basket once and I had to give it away because of how it might look.

Hey Scalito: the fact that you complained about the free accommodations and food does not make them “modest” or “homestyle,” it just makes you a corrupt and ungrateful shit.

I don’t know anything about this game, so forgive the dumb question. But how does Valve find it worthwhile to provide content for 10 years for a free-to-play game if hardly anyone is paying for the passes? Are they making a ton of money on other things? I got the impression from my kid playing Fortnite that all you…

They could have at least put “Rings” in the title, or a Zelda reference, to get some guaranteed sales, like that Eldin Rings game did.

I’m not sure why companies keep naming games “Immortals.” It’s an unappealing name! The games don’t sell.

Up up up up up up up up up up start?

Counterpoint: no.

It is kind of amazing that it was possible to buy the Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii U for $10 at one point, and now we have to hope and pray to get the full remastered trilogy for $120 someday. Nintendo really went maximal “screw you consumer” and suffered not even a little bit.

Perfect time for a Banjo Tooie surprise drop (you cowards).

As long as Pikmin 4 doesn’t make you go through your 100-item inventory three times a minute, I’m gonna say it’s not suffocated in gimmicks. Freaking Zelda (which I enjoy a lot, but damn).

One of my favorite things about this game is that virtually everyone knows Link. Legend of Zelda: Cheers Edition.

I tried to watch Andor, honestly. It’s just not that interesting to me after 3.5 episodes, and feels like it could be any generic sci-fi show. It’s well-done for what it is, but doesn’t relate to what I think of as Star Wars. I respect that Star Wars has a lot of different stuff people can enjoy, but if this game has…

“The expectation is very high. Games are just getting more complex in terms of the interactions that are expected.”

“Others lamented the lack of lightsabers”

More likely they have a standard version of the last paragraph that links to every other sister-site article on the same topic, and forgot to update it once Survivor came out. 

Respawn is developing a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, for example, as well as a first-person shooter and strategy game.

My wife LOVES the Pikmin games, but I’m not sure she’s ever finished one, because she can’t stand to let any die. No-death runs are definitely possible in all the games, but they are very difficult.

Release Banjo Tooie you cowards.

I’m not conversational in French and still have a very hard time listening, but I did feel like I could get myself understood if needed after a few months of Duolingo. And the game aspect kept me going when I probably would have given up earlier. It needs to be supplemented with actually talking to people for…

Yoù pull the thing apart, then smash the special cube over and over.
