I’m not really okay. I function because the one thing that never left me and keeps me going is a sense of humor (often gallows variety) that gets me through. But while >125 surgeries and hundreds of dermatological procedures have allowed me to look something like myself, internal injuries remain. I have only one…

I’m going to try to follow Katy Perry’s remarkable grace right now, though my thoughts about Trump’s evil and ignorant tweet are much darker.

You are definitely not reading into that too much — CFO is one of the company’s top positions. And it’s a huge deal that Chris Metzen and Mike Morhaime (among others) have both left over the past couple of years. The question of how Activision’s culture impacts Blizzard is not a small one.

Moonlight actually beat La La Land so I’m hoping for the same thing

Fair.

Seriously, did you and your colleagues not consider that you were being put in an unfair position by your team organizations and the Press who demanded this access to you, during a moment any average person would consider one that demands privacy and safety?

The women reporters at the time all said they didn’t really want to be in there, just wanted to be able to do their jobs as well as their male peers. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to work to establish a compromise (wait 20 minutes to shower/change, separate interview area, etc.), and that’s where the sexism comes in.…

To me, Yakuza reminds me a lot of Shenmue but done right. You have 4 different fighting styles you can switch between and it has rpg lite elements like experience and gear.

Hell yes! The instant resume feature on modern consoles is a godsend. I can play for 30 minutes or so and not have to worry about reaching a stopping point or anything.

I find that, sometimes, certain massive games like RDR2 or Witcher 3 actually benefit from shorter play sessions. Both of these have quests that explicitly feel like little tasks or jobs, and by playing one mission at a time you force yourself to enjoy what you’re doing moreso than if you were doing a marathon…

It’s definitely not about raw realism (ie. FULL SIMULATION) so much as removing NPCs from the tyranny of the player. As for solutions, it’s hard to figure out but I actually think that as much as The Elder Scrolls series is mocked for robotic character acting, the fact that they have observable lives that aren’t…

A little bit, yeah. The theatricality of NPC interactions feels incompatible with space it is taking place in.

you can’t start putting the responsibility of individuals on anybody but the individual who carried out the crime.

If you don’t like it, do something else. Get a different job.

Shitty take. Just ‘cuz it’s been this way for however long doesn’t mean it needs to continue this way.

Please know that Jason Schreier crunched Non-Stop to get this article out...

To make things a little more clear: on NES Tetris, pieces almost instantly get stuck to the stack. You don’t have the long grace period of more recent Tetris games that allow you to slide the piece around on the stack. Also, the horizontal speed of the pieces when you hold a direction is very poor compared to the…

This is by far the most common and short sighted argument that I see. Wringing hands worried about what the “other side” will think or do.

Another question Iris has been mulling this offseason: “How come the Sacramento Kings can’t do anything right?”

Iris > anyone on staff here, honestly
