Made an account after 10 years of following this site just to comment this:

The Mario RPG remake, plus the announcement of the Thousand Year Doot remake next year. I *never* thought either would happen, and now I get to share both with my neices and nephews.

Man, FFT was fine and all, but the game I really want is the tactics advance games. God, were those good.

I’ll just outright say it: you’re trying to say piracy. If you buy something digitally, it seems like you should be justified in retaining a backup copy for this very reason.

I bet they will be. Its a classic class action suit and I don’t see how you couldn’t win.

They really should be taken to court for this. Licenses expiring is a common thing in digital distribution. The solution is to pull the licensed content from the store, not user libraries. That’s been the standard practice for games, I don’t see why it should be any different for movies or TV shows.

Aries Spears has _good_ impulses?

Just because it keeps coming up: Yes, ffs, Rife is very well known for TikTok crowd work videos. So is Jeff Arcuri. So is Matteo Lane. So is Gareth Reynolds. Natalie Cuomo. Taylor Tomlinson. Randy fucking Feltface. EVERY currently working standup comedian is on social media doing crowd work bits. So let’s just

My favorite was from 30 Rock where a medication's side effect was "sleep crime" 

“Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder!”

The Simpsons Game was... fine. It had its moments, especially the levels that tried something different and weren’t just generic (and not particularly well polished) platforming. But it’s only because most Simpsons games are so bad that it’s always a relief to get one that’s at least okay. That said, Hit & Run remains

How about we just make it so pharmaceutical companies just can’t advertise to consumers?

The whole thing where the US allows drug companies to directly market prescriptions directly to consumers is absurd.

Is no one gonna post it? No? Guess it’s on me then:

$7 for a 4 oz bag of cookies is insane. Sure inflation is making things cost more but that means a family size bag of Oreos(which has four times as much product by weight as these cookies) is going to cost $5 instead of $4.

For someone like that, “broke boy” means “person who won’t pay the simp surcharge for a product” rather than the dictionary definition.

I’d love to learn more about their nomination process. Supposedly, a bunch of industry people pick their top 5 games in any given category, then the TGA panel chooses the most popular picks as the nominees. However, who determines the categories and who determines which games go into which categories? Why is RE4

Game Awards have all sorts of problems, but they most unfortunately suffer from the “If it’s not in GOTY contention (or at least sniffing it), it will be overlooked in technical categories.” Academy Awards have this problem big time, where an overlooked or even bad movie cannot win for something like costume design,

You know it’s bad when Octopath Traveller II even gets snubbed from the list of things that got snubbed at the Game Awards.

Wow can a game be ubersnubbed if they’re not even mentioned in a snubs list? Did I hit my head and Octopath Traveler II didn’t come out in 2023 and have one of the best scores I’ve ever heard?
