Yeah, but let’s also be honest about the fact that Rinoa’s not exactly a catch herself. Plus, out of all the characters we meet in this world, Squall’s still probably the best dating prospect, he just needs loads of therapy to work through his emotional abandonment issues and the fact that he’s a child soldier in a…

Even as someone who’s owned a 4k TV for a few years, I’m also much more interested in the Series S. Lower file sizes, less strain on my data cap, faster load times, and $200 less? Honestly, if I didn’t already own a One S, I’d probably have preordered by now. Pure resolution just doesn’t impress me much beyond 1080p…

I’m privileged enough that I’ve usually ended up having each console of every generation at some point, even if sometimes it’s a few years later. For the last decade or so there’s been so much redundancy between PS and Xbox, and especially with the most recent generation, as they largely had the same power, the same…

You know, as someone who grew up firmly on the Nintendo side of the Great Console War, I’ve really come to respect Sega as I’ve grown up. Sure, Sega as a console maker of the mid-to-late 90s was a running joke, shooting themselves in the foot so much that all that was left was a bloody nub by the time they finally got…

I’m imagining he has his own Woodhouse (the butler from Archer) who has raised him while being forced to eat cobwebs and aquarium gravel as petty punishments.

I’ll second this - my PC that I built in 2015 uses a lovely minimalist white NZXT case that I love. It’s one of the most attractive and well-designed objects I own (very similar to the Xbox One S aesthetically), it’s been incredibly easy to maintain and upgrade over the years, it’s held up very well, the built-in…

I was laid off in an industry that was hit hard six months ago and haven’t been able to find a new job yet. Thankfully we’re financially stable, but this “boreout” concept perfectly describes my experience the past few months. Lack of routine, very little mental stimulation, and the crushing anxiety of this year…

Definitely. It’d be great for him to show some brief awareness and confusion at the genre swap too, and maybe towards the end they start to blend together.

I think the coma seasons were interesting, but just went on too long. Three entire seasons, with a hard reset between each one? It felt like it brought the show to a standstill creatively and from a writing standpoint, as each season just riffed different genre stereotypes (or even on episode concepts from past…

I found this to be an incredibly disappointing and irresponsible post, especially from Lifehacker. I disagree with this idea in a few key ways:

I mostly agree, even though I can’t imagine an even more gigantic PS5 at this point, unless it doubles as a coffee table (or looks like one of those midcentury modern record player consoles, that’d be classy AF and I absolutely would buy that - for the sophisticated retro gamers). At this point I’d be very happy with…

I’ve absolutely had that same issue of not feeling the mental energy to start new games in my backlog for most of the pandemic, which has been really frustrating. It means that instead of finally playing through the GOATs I haven’t finished yet, I’m endlessly going back to Smash Ultimate, PS1 JRPGs, Gamecube-era…

I never played the second one, so I didn’t know that. In retrospect I think that timer aspect made me feel a lot of pressure to play perfectly / most efficiently, which was probably a turnoff.

That’s good to hear! Certainly seems to be the general consensus. 

I’m really looking forward to this, even though that optimism is very cautious. I have tried four or five times to get into the original Pikmin ever since I owned it back in the Gamecube days, with the latest attempt earlier this summer. It’s a game that I should love and very much want to, but something about it…

I think the issue is that “When they go low, we go high” makes it sound like either:
a) them going low is rare or infrequent, otherwise why would we need a special phrase
b) the low is at a relative constant in terms of intensity, or at least prompts an equal and opposite response

Is Pence allowing himself to be alone onstage with another woman, or will Mother have to be silently standing next to him the whole time?

I agree, I’m not actually sure he’d be an interesting character compared to others they could still use. The best case outcome for him might be to have him switch “stances” (sports), almost like when Pokemon Trainer switches characters, so there could be a soccer form, golf form, etc, each with a couple of unique…

I’m genuinely amazed that this video was allowed into the world. Nobody at Nintendo’s marketing side was like, “Jeez, this really doesn’t make us look good...you know, maybe we’ll just have one of those eternally happy Treehouse millenials make a three minute video about the Minecraft fighters. Go take a nap,…
