Gamers really cannot comprehend how irrelevant 99 percent of gaming is to non gamers. They’re easy questions if you have knowledge in the category. 

If you’re a gamer, sure.  If not, who the hell would know anything about Elder Scrolls or Destiny?

You cannot possibly really believe The Elder Scrolls or Destiny 2 are part of the general pop culture zeitgeist. Hell, even Disney wasn’t all that interested in Disney Infinity. The only thing even vaguely in the realm of general cultural awareness here is the Joust question, and even for that arcade era of classic…

Again, you’re thinking of this as some kind of comparative model of two universes.  It isn’t.  It’s a game where no one is “nicer” or “meaner” or more or less “scared of” or more or less “attracted to” the two available characters.  I’m glad of that, because as soon as the game designers started making choices like…

I mean, you could mention Jabbar is an experienced writer with several published books to his credit, including a handful of decently well regarded mystery novels.

The game universe isn’t aware there’s a second person to react to. From that perspective there’s only one set of reactions, one set of events.  Trying to figure out a bunch of ways to differentiate the way the would would react or events play out differently would be a nightmare, because inevitably a conclusion would…

They’re both of ethnic greek descent but neither has the game accent in real life.

They said right from the beginning the story/gameplay would be identical for either player.

Here’s the difference: The way policing is conducted is a real world problem effecting real people in our society, every day, and Spider Man, a character historically seen as a sort of folk hero or “little guy” on the outside of official power structures “siding” with police is an unavoidably political stance worth…

Is my memory wrong or, in the book, his big reward was getting to take a long hot shower?

I don’t know if you have any fondness for anime, but this one is pretty decent and is mostly set in floating ship-city-raft things on Waterworld-esque future Earth.

Then what’s the point of your original comment? Did you want Capcom to say “BYEEE, SUCKAS?” or “Coffee is for closers!”? Do you think you’re illuminating some deep point that corporate press releases related to closings and firings tend to contain polite platitudes?

They said unappealing, not untalented.  I’ve liked Schneider in several things but his affect in Parks and Rec was jarringly wrong in just about every scene he was ever in.

If she leaves the room, or gives the hard no in these situations, then she (if she’s lucky) is in for a lifetime of being called a humorless, thin skinned bitch who overreacts to everything and can’t take a joke and can’t hang with the boys. She’s in for a lifetime of throwing interviews and networking opportunities…

It’s impossible to play tackle football safely and inevitably the game will either be played with battle drones or go the way of dog racing and become this marginal, kind of tawdry thing.

Yeah, there’s no way in hell she wasn’t drunk or high.

I wish I could see my friends shitty content. Half my feed is garbage Facebook’s horrible algorithms think I want to see, or ads.  My friends content gets shifted into dimension X and I never see it.

Seriously, those are the most superhero alliterative names.  Fantastic.

It also depends on the fandom. On tons of shows, any two male friends are the ones automatically assumed to be a couple. Heck, in Overwatch itself there’s huge ships like McHanzo, Roadrat, and Reaper76, all m/m pairings.

I assume that if Blizzard had made D.Mon a guy a lot of fans would still be shipping them. You sort of can’t take a fannishly popular character like D.Va, give her a canonical long-standing teammate with the same naming scheme, and not have some fans ship it.
