I agree with what you’ve said completely—and I’m definitely glad to see Nintendo (intentionally or not) getting things right.

Clearly you’re invested in this perspective, and I’m not going to try to change your mind. In short, I’ll say I simply don’t think Byleth is an example of “great” non-binary character, and by extension, I don’t agree with the author’s argument. I'm glad both of you identify with Byleth in that way (or see how someone…

It’s also worth bearing in mind that Nintendo’s own press materials make clear this is intended to be a gendered character.... And, sure, if we take all of Nintendo’s promotional materials ever as factual, then we need to start calling Yoshi “T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas,” so I get not taking their word as gospel, but I…

I mean.... You just referred to them as “male-form” Byleth, who Ferdinand couldn’t be into because he’s “straight,” and therefore not interested in the character because of their gender representation. I don’t see how that represents a non-binary character.... You literally just defined them as MALE-FORM.

I mean.... unless I’m remembering incorrectly, don’t you literally make a binary choice about your gender representation, and doesn’t that choice limit your options for relationships and marriage with different characters.....? That feels about as far away from non-binary as you can get.

Aside of being made by the people who made SteamWorld, is there any indication that The Gunk is, in fact, a SteamWorld game? It looked like one at times but I didn’t see anything making the connection to those games explicit. Their Twitter only mentions that it’s “a new Xbox exclusive from the SteamWorld team coming…

That’s what I get for not opening the link.... haha. I assumed it’d be mentioned in the article if it was the new edition. Thanks!

Any word on whether this will be the version from PS4, or if it will feature any of the upgrades in the Switch version?

Did you buy your dog from Doug Judy?

Yeah, this announcement confirmed that as much as anything else—no way GTA6 is right around the corner if they’re bringing over GTA5 near launch. I think my issue with all of this is that I played RDR2 for the first time about a month ago, and honestly..... I thought the controls and interface were some of the worst…

This says to me that Rockstar’s development cycles and/or commitment to live service modes in their games has become so unruly that instead of getting at least one GTA or RDR game per console generation, they’ll be coming out every other console generation (e.g. the Xbox One and PS4 was an RDR generation, and the XSX/P…

I used to work at a gas station and we dealt with issues with counterfeit bills—we always checked 50s and 100s, but there were cases of fake 10s and 20s relatively often. We got so many 10s and 20s during normal business from people tossing you a bill and saying “10 on pump 2,” the designs changed often enough on…

I mean.... imagine being upset you’re getting too many games from a completely optional bundle when there are people out there afraid someone’s going to kill them because of the color of their skin. Truly, you have the toughest lot in life.

I get it—I mean, seriously, fuck Itchio for giving you the option to acquire such a deal! I’ve even seen that they’re adding MORE GAMES without raising the price? Fucking assholes, man.

I have about a year already stacked up after buying the buy 3 get 3 deals on Amazon and NewEgg, and I was able to add this on top of all that with no hassle whatsoever. Great deal!

I’d kill for a football sim on the Switch, and I’ll take the XFL license to get it, if necessary!

Here’s my biggest problem with so many of those shows: they have no damn respect for their audience and it’s like every episode is the damn pilot episode.

After naming a console the Xbox One X, having a name that’s THAT similar, with the same controller, this seems like a death wish....

Considering all the problems the last few games had with them expecting “Bioware Magic” to save a doomed project from poor management and deadlines, I have trouble reconciling the “we’re going to massively overhaul and fix it!” claim with “we have absolutely no idea nor timetable for when this will happen.” Especially…

I’m just excited to see how many fanboys jump down my throat about posting that. I made a pretty innocuous comment on a thread about Kojima years ago and I didn’t hear the end of it for WEEKS. It was at that point that I developed a deep disdain for those who worship him. I’ll freely admit that Metal Gear Solid is…
