DO NOT WANT

Let’s take a poll for all you single folks out there. What’s a more realistic timeline — first date, third date, after they finish your quest line, or other?

Reading through the judge’s order, it seems like he was suing under anti-trust law in federal court — except he failed to state an actual claim, and as an individual chess player he’s not one of Chess.com’s business competitors, so that lawsuit was going nowhere fast.

I’d prefer to not have to think about Elon Musk, thank you very much.

Meanwhile, we are told not to turn Baldur’s Gate 3 excellence into a weapon.

I actually agree with you here — consumers need to absolutely do the research first. I think that’s the worry here, though, that people will do the research instead of buying a $70 game (or, god help them, the 99.99 digital deluxe edition) based on the hype alone. 

I get this argument, I really do, but it gives short-shrift to the simple fact that $70 is no small amount to the average person, who maybe doesn’t want to feel the phantom hand of a publisher reaching into their pocket for more money every ten minutes.

It’s a shame to see layoffs, and to see a highly-acclaimed game land with a thud. One thing I’m curious about, though, is what kind of money this studio was hoping to make off this game? It’s an indie title, seemingly aimed at and marketed to the very niche “people who listen to fancy video game podcasts” demographic.…

Now, now. Don’t mention uncomfortable truths when there’s a big new video game to play!

You know what doesn’t have a bug that forces you to pay extra money to log in, kids? Going outside to play! You kids and your devil-games.

 I KNOW, RIGHT?

Oh, man, for a second I thought this was a headline announcing Bobby Kotick getting fired without a golden parachute, on account of all of the horrific sexual harassment and anti-union activity that happened under his watch.

It sure seems like the headlines on this site, and the enthusiastic, almost certainly studio approved tweet reactions, have all been written by whatever PR crisis team WB and Miller are using. I mean, I could be wrong, but it sure seems like it.

Yes, but what about the Der Spiegel contract? Why haven’t you found it yet, Rob?

Each button-push injects a dollar into Bobby Kotick’s trousers, and one out of every 100 button-pushes goes toward his Crushing the Unions and Fighting the Sexual Harassment Lawsuits Legal Defense Fund.

The philosophy of the GOP boils down to this simple premise: “You do what I tell you, and no one tells me what to do.” Everything else flows from that.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who goes around making that Judge Dredd point! Welcome, fellow traveler!

Well, I regret having waded into this discourse to learn what it’s about.

Golden Vow, O Flame Grant Me Strength and the Blasphemous Blade really got the job done for me toward the end of the game.

TELL ME FUN FACTOR NOT SAD FACTOR! IS FUN FACTOR FIVE?
