I’m pretty sure he didn’t make it but just licensed it and cashing from it which I consider a dick move but also a very smart one. Like a real troll.

Patrick, it’s not really fair to compare this Amiibo debacle to the Wii launch since consoles are fundamentally different products. Consoles (and any advanced gadget, like smartphones) are complicated to make, and when they’re in high demand it’s almost guaranteed that launch supply will not be sufficient. That is to…
When was Ness in Mario Kart?
lol sucker, did you even read the article? You don't need to work for Google to get a new BMW, you just need to show up at the dealership on April 1st.
Move the badge up like 6 inches and it’s not terrible...not great, but not as bad.
I need room for my calzone.
Ok, I’m calling it.
"Steering wheel was pulling to the left"
Nope. There's only four. GM, Ford, Chrysler, and AMC. None of the others count.
To be the ultimate 90's vehicle, it would have to:
That guy is not fit to be driving!
"stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason"
Yeah because they're culturally convenient for the dominant classes of society to continually self-justify their oppression, exactly.
That's fine if you perceive it that way.
Characters like Franklin even actively denies going after a relationship or sex because of many reasons, whether from the way he sees the dysfunction he sees in Michael or Trevor. It definitely is there. They even poke fun at him like he might be gay for being so asexual in the story.
Also, they poke at heterosexual appeal whether it's from the mass market culture, the sex houses or the TV shows. It's pretty obvious.
Well, maybe I worded it somewhat ambiguously, but you really didn't need to go all in on how I'm 'enforcing' any narratives or defending something. It'd be nice if there's a proper back and fro instead of jumping on any perceived wrongdoing and going from there.
Yeah, GTA is pretty guilty of that. It's like the angsty teenager version of social commentary: "Man, everything is just bullshit."
Exactly. Applying "satire", and particularly cheap and lazy satire, to everything equally detracts from any power that any one of those individual comments might have. If you knew someone who, whenever anything was brought up, would say "that's bullshit" and then make the easiest joke possible then I don't think it…
Eh. Sometimes, GTA is spot on, but sometimes, it goes for the laziest, cheapest "satire" possible and just ends up looking stupid.
It's actually a lot like South Park in that way.
Plus, sometimes the satire is either confused or...well, sort of gross. Like, when GTA makes shitty comments about trans people, are they…
