Lootbox scenario: I want item X, and I buy 100 loot boxes at $1 each to get it. I spend $100.

What are the chances this bit wasn’t cleared beforehand and semi-scripted?

Yep.  Although it sounds like he says “placenter”.

The kind who put their pronouns in their signature, clearly.

Real Sex was what you stayed up for when you were 14, until you realized that 85% of it was really goddamn real, and usually involved some middle aged people doing goofy bullshit.

Maybe it’s me (it’s probably me) but a lot of generic greetings come off as condescending or purposely rude.

I’m with you.  Seinfeld is definitely terrible.

I want nothing more than for him to be done, just so that there’s some kind of evidence that the NFL has a conscience. It doesn’t make the NFL any less morally bankrupt in the short term, but it would possibly maybe indicate a change in the workings of the NFL.

AB doesn’t have a job right now because he claims he doesn’t want one anymore.

There has never been anything resembling a good fight.

It’s been a long time since I’ve played Borderlands of Borderlands 2, so it’s possible it’s always been this way, but a lot of my complaints are story and cutscene related. It’s not even the writing and humor (which have always been hit and miss to be charitable), but the actual construction of cutscenes and dialog. I…

I paid full price and still don’t feel cheated, as I generally enjoyed the 70ish hours I put into the game, and so it comes in under my personal $1 per hour of entertainment threshold for video games. I was actually a defender of the game for the first month or so of it’s existence, but once they kind of showed their…

I’m enjoying Borderlands 3 a whole heck (not part of the heck, the whole heck) of a lot.

A buddy convinced me to buy Anthem so I’ve been playing it this week.

Speedrunners: The fantasy football players/vegans/crossfit people of gaming.
