I freaking loved the game. The combat was enjoyable and short enough to to overstay its welcome. The characters were great as always, the conversations were fun.

I played the intro until the game crashed and reset a bunch of progress and I had to do it again - only for it to crash again in a different spot. Then it kept freezing in combat at inopportune times so I kept dying “off screen” while frozen.

This article is a bit weird. I think the real story here is that 2 Sony first party single player games ranked on a cumulative hours list alongside a bunch of designed-to-hook-you multiplayer games.

Is the “left lane is a passing lane” one in here because people don’t do it? Because it’s definitely the law where I live, and in many other states. Doesn’t seem to fit in with “use proper octane gas” and “optional stop signs”. 

This does benefit the middle class though. The upper middle class (over 89k). The middle middle class are lower than this. What you’ve illustrated is what a lot of people would consider the “line” between upper class and middle class. A huge tax jump. This theoretically means it’s harder to keep wealth over 170k but…

I actually really enjoyed this premiere. It had a slow-burn feel of building to the inevitable, but that’s what I liked about it. And the final moments, and what triggered the relapse, felt a LOT less like “Dexter” as we knew him and more like “Dexter Unhinged”. Rusty, out of practice, and sloppy.

Younger people will probably actively and viscerally disagree with this, but part of why older generations struggle with caring about climate change is scientists are always doomsaying and it’s exhausting after a while. You just kind of tune it out.

I think the idea that some people think wearing another cultures headwear and chanting something unrelated to that culture is “a sin so great the devil won’t let you into hell” says a lot about our society. Or that someone saw that and felt that “violence was being committed against him”.

This was the first one I disagreed with. First is not synonymous with “most important”. However, “foremost” also means “first” so if there’s any repetition it’s there. Foremost DOES mean both chronologically and important. So it might make more sense to only use foremost.

Street Fighter invented the concept of fighting game “combos” though. I believe it also was the first game to have dedicated “punch/kick” buttons. Possibly even the concept of a fighter roster and selectable fighters.

That is already a thing and it is called Roundguard

The irony of people posting that they’re afraid of being tracked on fucking Facebook hurts my brain.

I still very much dislike Rockstar’s business model these days of, “Release great single player game, keep it alive as an ‘online service’ and put all effort into the online mode”.

I had “uncomfortably oversexualized” feelings when playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is that maybe it? Half the cutscenes, the camera just focuses on the main girl’s boobs. It has a kind of similar art style.

IIRC they aren’t on top, and then suddenly and abruptly a cutscene plays and the characters are just suddenly there with no explanation and no justification.

I fully agree with you here. Saying a dumb thing a while ago shouldn’t immediately disqualify you from working. I actually really like that they changed his reporting structure and gave him trainings to improve. Isn’t that what we should be striving for? Self-improvement instead of just “canceling” people and…

I think it’s because he exudes a similar kind of “wholesome” energy that Trebek did. And many millennials have fond memories of Reading Rainbow.

I need some kind of guide for this game. I’ve played a few hours and I’m just sort of chaotically playing.

IMO it’s also largely due to irresponsible reporting in the media. I heard next to nothing about the comment until someone was offended by it and then suddenly there’s outrage everywhere, fueled by, well, articles like this one. The headline of this article is:
