My wife and I both lost out a bit in the MIL department.

Deep Rock Galactic

I think generally, people are fine not knowing story stuff, or would prefer it... but asking people to not only be excited, but purchase a full-price AAA game without any idea what kind of game it is, is a big ask. It works for people who will buy anything Kojima does, but those of us who view the name as a deterrent…

You know, it’s entirely possible to be excited for a game and not also attempt to shit on people who aren’t, for whatever reason.

Yeah, it sure sounds interesting. But i’m not sure if it sounds or looks like something i want to play.

I had Oxy prescribed for a fairly minor procedure - getting a badly ingrown toenail fixed - without asking, 120 pills (good enough for 4/day for a month) when I was like 19 years old. I took exactly one, hated it the entire process, and put the remaining bit into a drawer never to be taken again, until I eventually…

I don’t have any dog in this fight... I’ve hated this guy as long as he’s been moderately relevant, and nothing has changed... but my reading is that his ADL donation was met with a lot of scrutiny by his fans since the ADL spoke out against him. In a vacuum, making a sizable donation to an organization that has…

Blizzard has gone through a lot of effort to provide people the outdated gameplay they apparently desire, and they have been rewarded by a lot of temporary exposure and the hard data to show that a fraction of the people who play will ultimately be anything more than a tourist and will go back to retail with a…

I’m not all that far into the game yet, and my only real complaint revolves around the fact that I can’t really see a good way to deal with certain enemies. That’s easily something that could be (and probably is) just as much my problem as anything else. My main mechanical beef so far is that the wall latching/jumping…

But I don’t see how turning the fan base helps the Cowboys win the Super Bowl.

I have two.

Yeah, I’ve been talking to a friend that I’ve played WoW with since beta, and neither one of us have any interest in Classic. We were progression raiders in MC and BWL, which caused us both to completely burn out and not play for about a year after.

it found an underserved corner of hippie geekdom, and hit it hard.

I don’t think it’s quite as cut and dry as that. Yes, the MAGA chuds are going to be the loudest and dumbest about sticking to sports, because they are the loudest and dumbest about everything.  But, there are also going to be otherwise regular people who might not be as militant about sticking to sports, but…

I think most people in general don’t care about capital-J Journalism, and people interested in sports reporting even less.

I feel like the RNG nature is a bit over-exaggerated.

I agree with a lot of your critiques, especially about boss design. I haven’t finished the game yet (almost there), but bosses are generally pretty underwhelming. If it weren’t for the adds, there’s only a couple that I think would even be remotely difficult. Even at that, I’ve killed the last 5 or so bosses I’ve…

Yeah, at least in the movie, Mick seemed like an enabler at worst, not really there for any of the other bullshit the others were doing.  It’s probably a little unfair for me to lump him in with the others, but he is/was in Motley Crue, so I feel like he’s at least worthy of some scorn.

I actively hate Motley Crue, and really enjoyed The Dirt. I learned a lot about those Shitbags, like... I didn’t know Vince Neil had a kid that died, I didn’t know that the guy Vince Neil killed while driving drunk was another musician that was riding with him, I didn’t know Mick Mars was significantly older than the…

When I go next, if they ask me again, I am seriously considering saying yes. Because I really do want all them hush puppies.
