The stress of Sekiro is in the timings though. Failure and death in sekiro is largely irrelevant. In many instances you can just throw yourself at the bosses and retry as often as you want. Some require lesser enemy picking off here and there. Yes people get rot but its manageable due to items you can purchase and…

Other than Frostbite, Bioware seemed to be their own biggest enemy on this one.

I look forward to when a game gets “Netflixed out” of the Stadia library.

Frodo and Sam didn’t go through as much as we did trying to see a picture of a boob.

This is the perfect “kids today” moment, because kids today can see nudity with device in their pocket without any of the effort that old people like me had to go through.

A couple of things to consider (this ended up being a longer post than I thought it would; I know, a long-winded Arnheim post—shocking):

1.) Most people don’t understand that argument—at least in the academic sense—is an intellectual exercise as often as it’s intended to actually shift a person’s perspective on a given…

Just proof that if you think hard enough and get creative enough, you can make anything “offensive”.

I think it depends pretty heavily on where you draw the “Millenial” split. For some folks, it’s as early as 1980, while for others, it doesn’t hit until about 1984/1985.

I’m an X/Y cusp, and I cling to that like grim death. My first RPG was Dragon Warrior on the NES; I was a bit young for it at the time, and mostly was…

Kirby didn’t cost a thing. But please keep on grinding that ax you have.

And now, having exchanged blows with their pans, these two men have a greater appreciation for the other’s feelings. What a manly display!

“Gentlemanly Duel of Pans”.

Like frying pan samurai.

The thing about competitive trash-talk is that it comes in “levels.” Those levels are divided into what’s appropriate amongst friends who know each other well enough to be able to accept a barb without taking offense, mixed groups of friends and acquaintances where more care is warranted, groups of strangers where…

True story: Back when I was... gods, I don’t remember how old, I was a kid. I loved Beast Wars, it was one of my favorite shows on tv at the time. I remember going into Blockbuster while my mother was grocery shopping and seeing the N64 copy of that fighting game and I just HAD to rent it. Of course, I had no money on…

I thought the same thing.
“Do I like Bugs Bunny cartoons” Yea

Maybe a better way to say it would be “you understand furries more than you think”.

But Vik describes furries as people who just love cartoon animals. “Do you like Bugs Bunny? Hate to break it to ya then, but you’re a furry.”

I’ve worked as a software engineer at a few different companies, and I always have a lot of respect for people like Iwata. It seems like after a certain point, after you graduate to the upper management/executive bubble, your days are just filled with meetings, managing people, and business decisions. Every once in a…

Exactly! It’s why I always found criticism of the Korok seed stuff in Zelda to be kind of baffling. Like, just don’t do them if you find them tedious or unengaging. You don’t miss out on anything. Same with the number of power moons in Mario. I love the Koopa races and the challenge rooms, so I’ve been seeking those…
