It’s because it’s not trying to tell a personal story about a specific character. You find Courier Six more interesting than the Lone Wanderer or Sole Survivor because you define Courier Six, whereas Bethesda defined the other two.

Because it has a baby so it’s inherently deep!

Like most really fucked up bullying, it’s a power thing. Basically, because he’s the ‘talent’, he’s used to having runners/producers/etc bending over backwards for him. He can piss in the back seat of a runner’s car or whip his dick out or badger a researcher to give him her sister’s number because the ‘talent’ is…

Yeah— it’s a brief meeting and they could easily just go out of pocket on a bottle of Hendrick’s and a bottle of Chase so it was all UK-sourced. But I think they want to make a rule of going cheap because of the current political situation. IDS has made austerity into a bigger issue than any labour pol could.

I read somewhere that lately they try not to splash out on stuff like that for stuff that’s going to be officially photographed or have a big press attendance.

Really? I don’t. I think the most realistic scenario is that the pro-business wing of the party transitions to the Democrats, pulling them further right. And let’s not kid ourselves, the Democrats are a right-wing party.

There are actually seminars you go to in order to learn how to be a professional expert. Depending on the kind of expert they can be shorter or longer. I think the longest ones are on how to give expert testimony in court.

Even if he is genuinely innocent, which is unlikely, this is a really slimy way to go about it because of all the money and time he’s wasting on it.

It’s actually really easy to tell how he’s benefitting from this, and it’s pretty cynical and gross. This is reputation management.

It makes sense that the myth caught on though. Commentators needed a go-to reference and it was an easy equivalent for the anti-war draft card burnings.

Oh yeah. It’s an important archival function. If I’d been born like five years later I’d never have played some seriously brilliant stuff if not for remakes and HD Ports. Culturally important games deserve preservation, and in the absence of a games equivalent of the Criterion Collection, this stuff is the best we’ve…

I’d agree that it needs to take a break, and the aesthetic in the opening post is not really my jam, but I think the community is way too hostile to remakes and re-releases. I guess I kinda lumped you in with that sentiment in an unfair way, and I’m sorry for that.

If you think that writing bills gets anything done, or signals the will to get anything done, I have some beachfront property in Florida to sell you.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Sometimes I play a new game, sometimes I re-play an old game. Both are fun and cool.

Majora’s Mask. Just enough proper dungeons, plus the minidungeons and minigames. Plus, the three day system meant they could have a really accessible and intuitive journal system.

If experience were a meaningful metric for electability and performance, explain Obama. The entire point of a cabinet is that the president is not omnicompetent.

I hate to break it to you, but child predators don’t actually care about the law. If they did, they wouldn’t prey on children.

Actually, no he’s not one of the wealthiest person on earth. Most of his ‘net worth’ comes from his assessment of the value of the Trump brand, not from anything actually productive. He’s admitted that this has more to do with his mood and self-esteem than with any real factors, and if we’re being honest, the Trump…

Basically, what in the US would be called ‘White Trash’.

Oh wow a right-winger who doesn’t understand defamiliarization.
