Honestly, I haven’t opened it yet. My first kiddo was born right before it came in, and I’m in the process of moving, so it went into a box pretty much immediately :/

Mine took 4 days to get to Colorado.

Mine shipped on December 9th and arrived in Colorado on the 13th.

Wow, this bring back memories of subtle ways that PC games terrified me too. I was playing Command and Conquer when I was fairly young at night alone, and while the placidity of the announcer was always really spooky to me, this cutscene scared the everliving shit out of me:

God these choices are depressingly bland. Skyrim wasn’t even a different decade.

Eh, does it matter? Auteurs occasionally have (arguable justified) egos. Kojima’s name is in MGS V 220 times ferchrissake.

I get the impulse to disclaim every defense of a successful entertainer with the insistence that you don’t necessarily enjoy them (hell, I’m 90% sure I’ve done that specifically about Pewdiepie) from a lot of folks on here, but honestly, you can defend someone without claiming a side fellow commenters. Belittling a…

Wow, that take is unrealistic and condescending. At best that gave him some initial exposure. People don’t watch someone for 6 years because of some lucky zeitgeist. He works his ass of to produce entertainment for people who dig it. It might not be your cup of tea, but that isn’t a reason to chalk his success up to…

I don’t get this one true Scotsman thing that people pull about him. He brought a bunch of young people into gaming, and that’s definitely a really good thing.

I don’t know why people just assume you luck into these things. Maybe some fraction of your initial exposure is luck, but after that it’s nothing but blood, sweat, tears, and a natural aptitude that drives you to invest that kind of time and work. The hell of working your ass off to be good at something is that you…

The coolness of your story rushes over me in waves bro.

I’m baffled that the main line that awful internet people use about this game is that it’s exploitive, as if huge swaths of successful creative output weren’t the product of the artist figuring out how to process pain and grief.

I get it ya’ll, but there’s no reason to be condescending about studies that seem obvious. That’s a-scientific thinking. Science works because we can rigorously study and categorize things, so if you want legit groundwork on any sort of study for gaming as part of our culture, you need to establish a baseline like…

Thanks, you too nice person!

Urf. Rough morning, I only saw two bits of things when I first woke up and now. Not crazy about the tone and tenor of Innoc’s replies and comment history, so I’m sure I can puzzle out the rest. But you seem pretty cool Doc, and choco learned a thing! I’m gonna go not look at comments for a while!

Thanks? The Doctor was plenty rational, and speaks from authority, so I would defer to them on all cases. I just reformulated the doc’s answer since our breakfast friend was a non-native speaker.

Certainly! As a non-native speaker, I’m sure that this sounds really strange and backwards, but where you wrote “So the kid was kicked out from his/her home”, you can substitute that with “So the kid was kicked out from their home.” Here’s the wiki on the usage of singular they: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_t…

Baffling. It’s not rocket science, but you’re fighting the good fight. I used to unintentionally fuck up constantly (and still do I’m sure), but my partner has helped me improve immeasurably. We’re both cis, but she and her colleagues are spearheading work to make her middle school an inclusive and welcoming place,…

I meant to direct this your way, but I Kinja-d before coffee.

Ah shit, I meant to direct that to chocolatechipcookiesforbreakfast. I’m sorry Dr., I’m an idiot...
