@bigsocrates: I feel like the simple answer is that they don't *actually* care, they just need to feel like they're a part of some righteous fury movement. If it wasn't this that they were pissed abou...

@bigsocrates: I really appreciate how serious you are with these classifications.Anyway, I love this and cannot get over how stupid it is.

This was the first FF I completed at around 11 or 12 years old. I have a lot of fond memories (because it is a wonderful game) but, oddly enough, my most indelible ones are anything that had a timer. ...

@cikame: "And if we have that conversation, we should also talk about why an 18 rated video game can't have sexy characters in it when Nicki Minaj is allowed to gyrate on tv in front of your children ...

@cikame: This is probably an answer to somebody's request, but not mine. Is this game being censored? Is censorship being called for by any major outlets or journalists or industry people? Is anyone s...

@cikame: Is that what is happening here? Because honestly, I'm not seeing much of it...I'm seeing far more of an overkill version of what you said. Admittedly, it's purely anecdotal, but I only learne...

@efesell: Every time I see this thing mentioned it's in some "save this from the wokes!" or "THEY can't handle how sexy this woman is" and then I see exactly none of that in any analysis of it. The wo...

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy reading your blogs. Happy to hear things are getting better!Somewhat related, I was going through a similar patch with gaming as a hobby (even the new Yakuza couldn'...

@shindig: is it? Depends on your perspective. I think workers uniting in an industry that has been historically crushed by corporate greed should put their unionization announcement front and center.M...

It's a little different than a lot of Western scifi, and not always for the better IMO, but I really enjoy Cixin Liu's Remebrance of Earth's Past trilogy, overall. The last book was a bit of a bear at...

Man, I distinctly remember the DE shit she was forced to deal with. Even here, though maybe not as truly vile thanks to mods, you still had plenty of condescending, passive aggressive bullshit just th...

I find that I agree with this list almost entirely (of what I've played), and I always enjoy reading Dan's thoughts.Having said that, his "mainline Mario" nonsense, I swear to God...

@cozmicaztaway: Right? What a concept!These stories are annoying as shit, if only because anyone even half awake saw this coming. It's ABSURD that there are so many streaming services in general, but ...

How shocking. I'm shocked.

Absolutely not.

@lonelyspacepanda: I am trying to find a way to phrase this that doesn't sound condescending because I'm truly not trying to be: Have you never read the news about charities? It is truly baffling to m...

If you were to examine the quality of every single new IP, non-sequel, of any type of consumable media, the answer to this question would be "sometimes".So, when this question is applied to sequels, t...

Thanks for sharing this...I found I really enjoyed the demo, but then I often really enjoy demos of competently made games because they're usually pretty tightly designed. I had to remind myself of th...

I am still trying to wrap my head around spending 1.3 billion on Gearbox.
