I’m 36, and in all my years of both standing to one side and walking on escelators I have only seen an accident ONCE and that is because some asshole at the top pressed the emergency stop button and reversed the direction of the escalator following that for no reason because he thought it was funny.  But in normal…

This is also true in many malls where the staircases are nowhere near the eseclators. Escelators in the malls I’m near are centralized in the intersections of the mall wheras the stairs are often located about halfway down each hall. So if you are in a bottom floor shop in a central hub and want to go to the one above…

Quick Gabe, here’s your chance to say he stole the computer that had the code for the in-development Half-Life 3 and it’s now his fault it’s been set back another decade.

I really do think that’s overthinking the premise. I’v always felt the game is enjoyable because geese are just awful monsters and that’s the joke. Back where my wife and I used to live there was a goose that literally stole someone’s car - it just decided this is where it was going to sit every damn day and would…

Well it depends on how you depict it. I find it more tolerable when the white character in question spends time (or time for the audience) to learn about the culture and people. This is different from just dumping a character in a local because “it’s exotic” which gives the setting no context whatsoever and rather is…

Genji would be the worst pick strictly because of the game’s abundance of sword users. The problem with characters with guns is that they’re hard to implement for most of their moves when Smash mostly relies on melee - Megaman is the only completely ranged character.

To that end Tracer really only has two abilities…

As an attorney, this is cringe inducing levels of liability just sitting there on a table.

Honestly anybody who has used a female avatar for a while can even tell you how awful this can get. I generally use female avatars almost 100% of the time and I’ve gotten creepy messages asking me for nudes in as simple a game as Snoopy Flying Ace - it was a snoopy game for fucks sake and some dude was asking me for…

No, I’ve watched several that are either completley faceless or mostly so. The difficulty is that if you’re starting out, people only tend to click on streams where there is a face. If you’re already established in one way or another then it’s fine to transition to faceless but if you’re new? Probably not.

I’m completley with you on this one. I was very excited for Aegis Rim when it looked like a Vanillaware Mech game. I was going to be okay with it being broken up between school/life and action segments like many other titles. But once I saw the actual combat I was so disappointing it’s dropped off my radar as of…

Legally speaking it’s the same argument.  Title 17 makes it the rights holder’s exclusive right to redistribute copies of their work.  Now if that means they want to just sit on it and hide it from the world that is also their right.  I understand the concerns as far as game preservation goes but legally it’s the same…

Best buy still has decent sales every so often and tends to carry a better stock than Wal-Mart or Target.  It’s an odd shift, I tend to prefer to buy physical and only by digital when the sale is too good to ignore or I have no other choice.  Best Buy also has more regular sales.  Gamestop comparatively has sucked in…

Makes sense to me. As Chinese I started using some Chinese slurs but only after I was in the south for four years in college and saw them plastered on the damn walls. I started using it because being able to laugh at myself is a self defense mechanism. I also sometimes wonder as you said if it might be better if…

One of the core differences in the use of that word is that within the black community, the word can practically be used as a term of endearment or somewhat cynically. One black person can say it to another and know there really isn’t hatred behind it (there are exceptions but generally I’ve noticed this is true with…

Sadly I believe you are correct (aside from the protected status because as this article clearly shows, it’s cool to be an asshole regardless of who you are an asshole to).

I watch A LOT of twitch streams but frankly I cultivate and choose who I watch very carefully so I don’t watch these assholes who make their living…

Makes sense, though autistic does get used also in cases of somebody being incredibly socially awkward which is where retarded wouldn’t be used but I believe this is because autism (at higher functioning levels) can just come off as being socially awkward. Autism is somewhat more loose because the spectrum for it is…

Autistic baffles me because it basically came into use as an insult right at the time autism awareness was coming around so it almost seems like a blowback to that for some insane reason.

Retarded I don’t condem as much because until recently (relatively) that word was absolutely normalized in every day speech to the…

Well there are more racial slurs you can’t say - how people seem to keep using literally the most prevalent and famous one is frankly beyond me so your point is still valid..

So I checked the video and the screencaps; so far they only appear in Encore attacks which, if I recall correctly, may or may not mean they are playable since Encore could use the reserve party. Their health bars are not visible in the set party of three at the time. It has been a long time since I played the game…

They both looked playable along with Tiki in the trailer. There is a possibility they’d only be a cameo attack but I plan to look at the trailer when it goes up on its own later to see if they have visible health bars during the attack.
