I played from WoW’s launch until a few months into BFA. What I miss most about the first few iterations of WoW is the way end game progression worked. Gear was set in its stats and drop locations allowing you to research what you wanted and reasonably chase after that gear. There was a realistic point where you could…

digital codes are not infinite, they need to be generated before being sold. likely the store front “orders” shipments of codes that it then hands out to users. this is because you really don’t want a public facing website having the software for generating the codes be accessible. a similar issue happened with the…

I understand what you mean but usually when Black writers write about other Black people it’s to bring attention like “we in here!” It comes from a history of being excluded from places so now when we do it, it’s to show ‘we are not excluded here’. It’s the same thing when say an athlete does it like Simone Manuel…

Did they take huge D batteries? I wonder what they run on. I wonder if one of her pieces breaks is she still inclined to crack ‘em open and fix them.

I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me.

Ash and I are the exact same age and they are 100% correct in this statement. Black women in gaming are an afterthought. Whether is in development or from a player standpoint.

No. For reasons explained by reading the blog.

No, they aren’t why she got the records but that she got those records being who she is is important. It’s okay, not everything is for you. When I speak like this, I’m talking to my people, not you, who need to see this. Right now we could name several white male devs. To us, they are household names. We could not do…

allow me to explain you why:

Call me pedantic, but her collection is just so much more aesthetically pleasing than most, and I respect that to pieces because my biggest issue with collectors is that so many seem to use the cheapest, ugliest shelving for their collections.

I like that Linda is an electrical engineer. It seems to combo well with understanding how these games were made and having enough knowledge to repair/maintain them.

I open up my unresponsive game controllers, and all I can do is make things worse. lol

That’s a bummer, she was great in both the first two seasons.

Looking forward to it but sad to see Lolly Adefope won’t be in this season.

I mean, they have labels at Staples.

While not (necessarily) depicting her relapse, just her exhaustion, the bathtub scene is frightening enough that the resolution feels earned. It’s a refreshing take, that someone can be genuinely turning their life around and be on the up but still realize they’re not quite there yet.

I read that, along with the part about the “discussed and agreed upon in advance” nature of his past relationships, as an indication that he’s going to try to argue that it was consensual BDSM.

“just one of hundreds”? What kind of defense is that? His attorney’s saying hundreds of people are accusing him of rape?

Ash! Thank you so much for bringing up Barrett and Sazh in this context! While at the surface, many might reduce them to tokens or tropes within their respective games, at their core, both of these guys are undoubtedly good dads, who also manage to be badass, and save entire worlds. 

I will always maintain that FF13 has some of the best character writing in any game, and Sazh is at the top of that list.

Barret in the Remake is absolutely amazing, SE took great pains in making sure that when he takes off his glasses, its like removing a mask. HIS FUCKING EYES. He plays the role of the ‘tough take no shit street preacher’ because he thinks that’s what his group needs. But as you progress further into the game and the…
