That’s interesting! I don’t drink much soda so I have never had one with real sugar. But I do know that basically everything tastes like ass here in the US due to corn syrup so I am not surprised.

Well it’s certainly been used as (more or less) a status symbol since the Middle Ages, but the way the online right co-opts not just the language, but the history, is very frustrating for me.

Yeah it’s not like I get paid particularly well, relative to where I live, but I would be taking a significant pay cut if I made $25k a year. That’s a pathetic wage to pay the people who make some of the most popular and acclaimed games in the industry (or indeed, to pay anyone).

Diet Coke (hell, Coke in general) is completely disgusting and I do not see the appeal unless it’s a way to prove one’s toughness by imbibing foul substances.

As a historian of ancient Rome, it really annoys me how far-right shitheads have tried to turn the entire Latin language into a dog whistle.

I noticed that too, I figure I must have misunderstood!

Dreambound and Sky of Tides both seem very much “my thing,” so on the wishlist they go.

I was thinking the same thing. I really want to play Tunic but at full price it’s just a bit much for me! I was hoping for a larger discount on Cult of the Lamb than I’m seeing, too.

Wow, this is awesome context! Thanks.

I know Simpsons isn’t as good as it once was, but I am still very fond of it, and I think this little anime homage just looks cute as hell. I hope the jokes are there for it to be a good segment because this seems like one of the rare new* ones I’d actually like to watch.

With our Crusader Kings addiction, my partner and I are doing our part.

Gotcha! That’s good to know, then.

Is body type + voice the way Cyberpunk determines whether you’re trans or cis? Like, does saying “If your V has a masculine body type and masculine” voice mean that to romance this character, you need to be a cisgender man?

I never played Overwatch, I know nothing about it or its characters and couldn’t even name any of its characters... except D.Va. Thanks, Pornhub!

Yeah he had other unsavory qualities and beliefs as well, Gary did. Though given the things I’ve seen from new TSR, it seems like they’ve gone in an even worse direction.

I would argue they could treat it better by making the games still good, but obviously that is highly subjective, hah.

Ah, that’s exciting then!

And let’s face it—Optical Rascal wouldn’t even be in the top 5 silliest Squeenix names.

I cannot agree more. I wish they’d treat Final Fantasy as well as their other titles!

To be fair, France had a lot of problems overthrowing their monarchy. Like, everyone remembers the Revolution getting all choppy with Louis XVI, but they seem to forget that afterward France had more than 30 years of monarchy, not to mention recurring Bonapartes.
