So if this stuff happened to me, well, they just lost a sale.

Ha, you must love the smell of your own farts. Christ, the self-entitlement of this dumb take smells from here.

“I have no choice...”  Fuck off.  You are literally on a “gaming reviews, news and tips” website which is an option to get an idea of a game before you buy it.

The bigger departure is that the girl isn’t wearing a girl-specific outfit - she’s wearing the exact same thing the boy is. I also noticed there’s a little badge on their arm, meaning they aren’t just some kids going on an adventure - they must actually be working for some protection agency, likely a nature…

Well fuck, wrap it up devs....this guy didn’t like something in the 90s. 

Yeah, i don’t get it either. I grew up playing 8 bit games on my NES and later gameboys, but damn, 16 bit is just so much better. Who looks back at the NES and SNES era and says “Metroid 1 and Zelda 1 are superior to Super Metroid and LttP”.

One day we will all collectively move beyond retro 8 bit graphics and get into gorgeous 16bit designs.

Good for the creator, but this sucks. Wordle seemed like some part of the Old Internet had reemerged to delight people with a mildly frustrating fun word game. It’s going to suck when this goes behind a paywall. 

Listen, it’s possible that somebody’s opinion on something changes once they’re offered $1m+ to change it.

Yeah, to me Magnus started it. He went and postured on Twitter, and then fans are getting upset at his opponent for... *checks notes*... posturing on Twitter?

A normal person: “wow how unsportsmanlike!”

I’m completely shocked that a corporation would employ such underhanded tactics to get around the recent unionization efforts. Just shocked.

‘NFTs are just beanie babies for people who get mad whenever there are black people in Star Wars movies’.

“As a very smart person who knows lots of things, let me tell you about how smart I am and how many things I know. I am very smart about things that you are not smart about, but no, I will not explain how the smart things I know are actually smart or useful, you’ll just have to trust me about how smart I am.”

NFT bro makes a bunch of positive assertions about NFTs but provides no actual evidence to backup the assertions (other than the fact that blockchain games are slow and nothing new).  Sounds about right.

“This experiment is meant to understand how the value proposition of decentralization can be received and embraced by our players.”

Yup - “Fuck you I got mine” is the operating playbook for about half the US population. It doesn’t divide strictly on political/economic lines, but you’ll definitely see some correlation as Jvook notes.

One test is whether anyone watching along at home who wasn’t already closely following all the headlines would have any idea what he was talking about. 

sir, this is a Wendys.

Being “The Oscars of Videogames” isn’t that much better.
