Ooh, yes! This is the kind of content I am here for.

Warlord Okeer (the guy who created Grunt in ME2) is about 1,400 years old, so they are definitely capable of living over a millennium. I believe krogan are potentially the longest lived species in the galaxy, even if on average they probably have shorter lives than the asari.

“For the Legendary Edition, I recreated the first Shepard I played in 2007.”

Is... is this a reference to something specific, or just a “just for fun” kind of article? All the comments seem to be in on the joke and I feel like a fool!

I hope you are right! I would love to have access to more of the older Zelda games on my Switch.

I haven’t played Skyward Sword yet (and I’m not in the habit of getting pissy about others having a good faith opinion), but dang, am I the only one who really loves Zelda 2? I like it better than the first game.

I’m glad that I’ll finally get to play Skyward Sword this summer, in preparation for the sky exploration in BotW 2!

I feel like what they showed was basically nothing at all, but with how long its been since the last trailer, I’m still psyched about it. Really looking forward to playing this game. Really hope that Zelda is playable at least for some portion of it.

That’s not a very good analogy. More accurate to say that some people have more fun hanging out on the sand and collecting seashells--it’s not that they’re scared to enjoy the waves, it’s that the waves aren’t the part they enjoy.

When we were teenagers, that’s how I usually talked to my sisters, when they turned games to the lowest difficulty setting and asked me to beat the really hard bosses for them. I’d do it, but I’d protest every time, explaining that they were having fun wrong and they’d enjoy it more if they challenged themselves.

Imagine being so insecure in your own preferences that you feel threatened by others playing a game differently than you.

The enduring popularity of the “git gud” mindset among gamers never ceases to depress me.

Hell yes! If you’ve had any success in breaking your players of the “every enemy must be fought, every fight must end in death” mentality, you’ve been luckier than I. My players are the furthest thing from murderhobos I’ve ever played with but I think video games have conditioned them to think that way.

Still working my way through Mass Effect Legendary Edition--just made it to ME3 (and there’s no more head-exploding headshots in this game what the hell!?) so it’s gonna be that for the next couple weekends. Feels kind of silly to play a trilogy I’ve played through 9+ times before when I have so many games in the ol’…

Oh you know someone is going to be drawing porn of this (or many someones, more likely).

Andromeda was a good game, for sure. I didn’t think it had a very good story (it seemed like most of the ideas were either watered down from the main ME series, or set up for potentially more interesting stuff in DLC and sequels), but it was a lot of fun to play for the most part and had a lot of promise. I wish we’d…

I love Renegade Cut, and I love Rick and Morty, but I feel like it would be disingenuous (even as a big fan of the show!) to pretend Leon doesn’t have some good points in this video.

I really love the Fagles translation, it’s the first one I ever read and I still think it’s my favorite. I think it’s really cool that they’re doing this reading—anything to make the classics more accessible to a new audience is a good thing in my book.

For what it’s worth, I am very happy playing the PC version of the Legendary Edition. I’m about halfway through ME2 now, making the same decisions as I did the first Shepard I ever played the series with (I usually try to make different decisions to see all that there is, but I’m enjoying the nostalgia bomb).
