I’d like to make a shooter about the final days of the Warsaw Uprising and how the rebels desperately fought against the regime in charge, but I don’t want to talk about Nazi genocide, Stalin’s convenient delay, or the Western Betrayal because that could turn off at least one player.

I don’t like it when fans “demand” that some celebrity say something or stand up for their causes. It’s creepy and weird. They don’t owe you that. Also, once you “demand” it, then it becomes performative, even if it’s how they truly feel. 

The demonic puppets from Angel’s Smile Time episode have all come forward with allegations against Joss Whedon, too.

I think people forget that not everyone has the same level of engagement with social media or the news and that many people’s first response to hearing distressing information about a friend or former coworker may not be to address it in a public forum.

I have to give credit to South Park for their episode about Gods and Clods for making me aware of the reality of, well, Everything.
When I was 13 my family and I were waiting at a stoplight on a service road, driving from our 2-story home in the suburbs of North Texas to Dallas where the levels of homelessness rival…

I absolutely don't disagree, and I'm in no way defending CDPR here. Skyrim, for example, is heralded as a generational game, but I most remember it as a broken mess that barely, or in many cases just didn't, work on ps3 for years. Since then, its been fixed and enhanced drastically and is just a great game. I really…

That seems like a rather misguided take, or at least is ignoring the nuances of complexity for each game. Just the hours it takes to beat says very little about how complex a game is. Was it a simplistic 2d platformer with minimal controls or was it an expansive 3D open world game? Was it only in English with minimal…

This was a great read. Thank you for it, and I’m sorry you are being harassed because you didn’t say Cyberpunk was the second coming of Jesus like everyone expected.

Despite the claims of “innocence” from aggrieved users it is actually not hard to avoid getting banned from these services. It’s simple, just don’t break the rules and do some obviously shady shit like this. They don’t want to ban you, despite the claims of people that get banned. That’s telling a customer you don’t…

This is always the kind of thing that scares me. Not being banned for selling something like that — it seems like a stupid idea no matter which way you look at it. But the amount of control these companies have over your games is ridiculous, and you never quite know when you’re doing something you may get banned for…

Seriously I am so tired of this (and I manage a tabletop game store). The hype is legitimately unreal.
These streamers are often pricing off of graded edge cases. Most cards out of pack are around the 7-8 PSA range. It is insanely easy to damage early generation pokemon cards, the holos are often damaged in the pack…

I would definitely like to see the next GTA start out in the DC area.  You have everything you want a downtown and extended city areas including the MD and VA suburbs, mountains to the West, the Eastern Shore and Atlantic to the East by way of the Potomac River and Chesapeake bay.  I am sure Rockstar could have a…

The whole DMV should be the scope. And with Trump out please can we get beyond the politics. Yes, part of GTA satire has always been political, but I’m so happy Rockstar didn’t release a brand new GTA game in the Trump era.

They probably won’t, but please tell me they are setting it in DC.

Well fucking said!! I lived through the 80s and at the time, it didn’t seem that bad (I was in middle school and high school though).

Cut the bullshit, just say what we all know you mean - keep the politics out of it, unless it’s something I’m comfortable with.

My mom tells a story about my Nana‘s reaction to Reagan becoming president. Nana was a teen/young adult during the depression, and her dad spent day after day wandering New York, looking for a job. They were dirt poor until about 1947.

This isnt a review of a game, it’s an editorial. Maybe the fact you can’t even discern that is proof enough you weren’t paying attention in the 80s. 

“I lived them, it wasn’t so bad” - probably because you’re the exact type of person Reagan and his administration liked - a white, straight, neurotypical , middle class American man. I know it’s the big scary no-no word these days, but y’know what that’s called? Privilege. It’s best you start recognizing you lived a…

“..if they miss the end of 2020, they’ll have to delay until 2023 or whenever the run on the Arasaka tower was, for the release date to have any meaning.”

So you’re saying there’s a chance?
