Most of the classic point and click adventure games. Space Quest, King’s Quest, Quest for Glory (This one was filled with meta moments) some of the late 80's and early 90's D&D games (and holy crap there were a lot of them) would throw in some meta commentary to the story, and there were so many little, what you would…

It might have done things differently than the RPGs you played, but I was saying the ones I played (much more the PC games than console rpgs) had a lot of the themes like subversion of tropes and meta-commentary on how we treat game mechanics. You don’t get to tell me what my life experience has been, and if you’re…

Part of it might be an age thing as well. I had a terrible time when it came out dealing with any gamers that were more than a few years younger than me because they were all part of the “it’s the greatest piece of art ever made” crowd. Even though I was really in to the type of game it was, I think that being older…

Titan Quest is a better choice if you want something more akin to DII and other early/mid dungeon crawlers. It is really fun but it brings with it a lot of mechanics that are from an older era. It was basically the go-to game for people post DII who wanted more Diablo-esque stuff when DIII was nowhere in sight.
DIII is…

I mean we’ll definitely miss the whole dick joke thing, but I think we can manage. I think we just need to decide what the next Florida should be. Alabama? Georgia? New Mexico? I mean we could go back to New Jersey, but I feel like using NJ as our official dumping state is just so 90's.

I really miss the days when showrunners of the Simpsons would change regularly. I’m sure the show would still have lots of issues, but things like this wouldn’t be quite so bad if change and reinterpretation was still a regular thing in the upper levels of the show’s creative team.

While they are making a big deal out of this right now because of midterms the caravan won’t reach the US border until well after that. So people can help by voting.

Yes, they absolutely would. Would only take one soldier to open fire to turn the whole thing in to a massacre. Around 35% of Americans would also be perfectly happy if US soldiers shot down a group of refugees coming anywhere near the border. 

While I still agree that people are getting a little too alarmist with very little to go on, your analogy is probably not a great one. There are a LOT of famous brands, restaurants in particular, that start doing one small side thing, see that it is popular and more profitable, and then completely change gears to only…

The superhero genre, be it comics, movies or shows, really seems to keep all of its depictions of cities (especially New York) in the 70s/80s regardless of the time its all set in.

Yeah it is just another instance of projection by the right. Anything they swear the other side is doing is actually something they’re guilty of. Being an anti-democratic racist I can sort of understand, but the people who do shit like this and still believe they’re on the side of democracy is just mind-boggling.

Bouncer is a great term though, because they have that same “little person with their first taste of power” mentality that you have with lots of bouncers. They also are prone to react with excessive force to any slight provocation, think their job makes them some kind of “bad-ass,” rarely suffer any meaningful…

While I don’t know about this area, there are plenty of places where there are sealed mail in ballots from predominantly black and hispanic neighborhoods just showing up in the trash all over the town. It isn’t even likely something being done as an organized effort by Republicans. They have plenty of devotees who…

Yeah without even being willing to admit they have an autistic character.

I mean I didn’t want them to do a full on take of the bondage porn-star outfit she was wearing recently, or the spiked football pads + thong combo from the 90s, or the 80s...well whatever the fuck that was in the 80s, but some kind of armor would have been a nice touch. Even just incorporating the white face-paint and…

How can men not be scared? Instead of having all of the power, now we only have the majority of the power. I mean can you imagine how scary it will be for us when we’re down to just most of the power?

Years ago I had a part time job with what was essentially a repo company, but we focused almost entirely on tech companies and my group seemed to almost only end up with video game studios. They liked having people on the team who actually knew something about computers and consoles so we could unhook everything…

They paid way too much for the licensing fees for these games. They also did not sell that well outside of a small but dedicated fanbase, as many gamers simply saw them as either the same idea being rehashed (a long, mildly interactive cutscene) or if they were interested they just watched streams or “lets play”…

I still recommend that one to people to give them a crash course in Marvel comics history. It was obviously super condensed, but it really did hit a lot of the major points of the pre MCU comics.

People who refused to vote and pulled the whole “just as bad” schtick aren’t blameless, but you need to keep your anger focused on the people who are actively destroying this country. It might sound fine in your head or as a philosophical argument, but you can’t actually say “the people who just didn’t do anything are…
