this is the most 8:30 PM a 6:15 PM has felt in a long time

X-2 having ~51% of its words be spoken by men despite the main trio being all women is some insane work. Never before seen kinds of misogyny happen at Square Enix.

It's been true for years but it's even more true now that Fansubs are just better than anything CR puts out. If for no other reason than there is like. Proper formatting and typesetting.

much larger quantities can act as a retardant against setting but you cannot spoil a whole batch with that amount and telling people to take risks like this for a lie is wrong

this goes around every few years and it does not work

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever. I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.

DoA. If you can just make a PC for the same price or slightly better then why bother. You're already going to deal with the hassle of Linux gaming, at least let the PC be something you made. Especially if the price takes into account current RAM prices....

biden was old and senile tho this attack wouldn't have worked if he didn't run for reelection

It's been like a day and I'm still crashing out over this. No Abyss remaster, no Rebirth or Destiny DC remaster... remastering a game you can get on Steam and released in 2016! What are we doing here man?

PC Gaming has the most exclusives of all the platforms, particularly when it comes to $15-$25 SHMUPS made exclusively for freaks and homosexuals.

If you disliked the Act 3 reveal/twist in E33 you are just a baby, sorry to say. Complete baby brain.

now the loonie left thinks that it's okay to dislike people just because of the things they do and say

WHAT ANNOYING GUYS THINK SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR SAYS: show everyone in every single situation you're the big dog, literally bark in your bosses face to assert dominance ACTUAL SUN TZU: no but seriously you do have to feed your army

C++ is for little worms

i haven't noticed the cloudflare outage because i've only been visiting morally pure websites today

whenever the sun sets at 4:45 pm i open a window, lean out and yell "WRONG" as loud as i can. that usually buys me another hour or two of sunlight

Expedition 33 will win GOTY, the devs will make a speech about how they love and were inspired by JRPGs and how people should give those games a chance and the next day the press will be like "Expedition 33 wins GOTY and proves the west has STOMPED JAPAN IN THEIR OWN GENRE"

is this what happens when the economy is good

It's a shame that E33 is probably one of the best RPGs released in this decade and it gets hit with Persona 5 Fan Syndrome where a few annoying people make it uncool to like it.

😤

gatekeeping ADHD from former gifted kids. if you did well in school ever then you don't have ADHD you must have like, some other shit that nobody knows the ramifications of yet

I could only be compelled to buy the Steam controller *if* it has Hall Effect sticks. I am not dealing with stick drift again.

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

tomb raider 2013 saying "you won't always have a fancy gadget to tell you where you are. learn to read the land and the stars" and then immediately prompting me to press LB for an objective marker is really going to set the tone for the whole experience, I think

If you buy a video game and then don't even put your full attention to playing it then that's your own prerogative but the rest of us play video games we like, actually.

"can we please make the game on the assumption that whoever is playing has decided to so" has always got me blank stares at work unforch

this is so cart-before-horse to me. i don't accept that people's attention spans are shorter in a way that has to matter. the problem is that we keep thinking that and "complying in advance" with the imagined boogieman of "people not paying attention nowadays". nothing done in that direction helps

I think the ultimate punchline would be if we got a new Kid Icarus that's mostly silent and atmospheric

but honestly, it's the way games will glaze and praise players for NOT choosing the punishment route that I find so corny. "oh, you're such a good, good boy for not engaging with the mechanics of the game as presented to you. in fact, I think you may be the best person who's ever lived!!" vomit lol

presenting players with multiple nominally-allowed paths in which one is calculated to be joyless and unfun as a punishment for the player for not choosing the path you'd prefer is petluant! it's moralizing! if you don't want the player to do that, remove the option. don't set a pedantic trap

a lot of the replies to this say that it's OK, BUT there should always be a path to continue finishing the game, and *ideally* that path should be grindy and punishing for the player. while I understand the instinct for that method, and know that it has been received well, I find it really cloying

My hot take about Metroid is that I'm not big into Metroid but I don't think you should ever hear a single human voice or see a single human face during the course of those games unless you 101%'d it, and then you get to see Samus's newest gorgeous visage say "congratulations, gamer" at the camera

I see some people like "oh no it might be fine though!! Don't be a doomer!! Maybe it's just one segement!" over Metroid Prime 4, and like yeah sure but it's unreleased videogame. There is absolutely no reason or benefit for assuming an unreleased videogame will be good. 😌

Metroid is a fascinating study of fandoms vs shifting official presentation, clashing visions of what and who a character is, and also of a franchise that is way more popular overseas than it is in its home country.

the goo goo ga ga baby games company when they accidentally end up with a tense, atmospheric sci-fi series: "what if it was fucking dogshit?"

there is NO WAY bill clinton is THAT sexually magnetic dawg there is no universe in which DONALD TRUMP was convinced to suck clintons cock I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS

we don't talk enough about the damage that widespread chromebook adoption by schools has done to computer literacy in children

metroid is absolutely the weirdest nintendo series narrative wise because it still does the classic nintendo the story in this one is exactly the same again thing but with just enough normal video game story inclinations to make it insanely weird

the thing about “the government can do bad things but we’re not allowed to” is that the objectionable part is the first half of the sentence

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

ITS REAL

8 years of dev time and this is what they've done lol.

Sakamoto pretty much totally restoring his credibility with Dread and Retro turning into the people who have no idea how to do Metroid anymore would be by far the funniest development for this series.

wifes love asking shit like "Honey, what is the Blowjob Olympics?" and "Why is 'Blowjob Olympics' listed on our CC statement like 14 times"

is john mcafee in the files or did he rly only molest like, whales?
