I think it's likely that a lot of people who associated with Epstein weren't doing sex crimes. But I also don't care that much. If you chose to associate with him after his conviction for procuring/soliciting, it shows you care more about your own career than his victims. That's bad enough as is.

I know the stereotype is that anglophone Canadians like Coke and Quebecois like Pepsi but I swear Nova Scotians drink more Pepsi than Coke. We need to update the theory.

This is like the days of film Twitter when guys would say things like "Retweet if you think they should let Wes Anderson direct a Marvel movie!" except if they added the caveat that Wes Anderson should not be allowed to write the screenplay

I'm always a little confused when people say they get their news from social media. Do they mean they're following links they see on social media, or are they truly getting their news from posts

ModRetro Game Boy made of military drone parts is a fascinating object. Normally, shady businesses use products like this to launder their reputation. But this is the opposite. No more separation of art and artist, this is ModRetro saying that it's all inextricably linked.

The American right is amusing to me because they're becoming the caricature the left makes them out to be. It used to be a joke to say that white people should be banned because they commit most of the crimes, and now cons are saying that with some level of sincerity (just not for white Americans).

There's something kind of refreshing in reading something that sucks. Sometimes I wonder if my tastes are unrefined and I'll enjoy anything, regardless of quality. Then I'll read some real slop and think "oh yeah, this is what that feels like"

Sometimes I think about why it is that some of the big prog bands lost their credibility while others remained in good standing with critics and listeners. Prog going out of fashion is part of it, prog bands selling out is another. But there's more to it.

I was actually thinking recently about why Clair Obscur caused so much online discourse when a lot of the same arguments could be levied against the broadly beloved Baldur's Gate III. I guess that thought is pretty outdated now

It's really funny to me that Geese were on tour with Greta Van Fleet last year. Hard to imagine any demographic that would hate Geese more than Greta Van Fleet fans.

So what's the deal with the first Original Sin? Seems like that one hardly ever goes on sale and now it's not getting a remastered version alongside 2. Is there a publishing issue?

Can't help but wonder if Geoff overestimated his own importance with the Game Awards. There were still some big reveals but compared to years past, it feels like there were fewer bombshells. Maybe charging a million dollars for a promo spot wasn't the smartest idea.

My contribution to Clair Obscur discourse is that I have seen far more people complaining about some hypothetical gamer who thinks it's the only good JRPG than I have seen anyone expressing that opinion. Maybe you aren't making up a guy to get mad at, but that guy is far less common than you think.

There's a very strange phenomenon where people complain about "bad localization" as a way of shielding a game from criticism, in this case insisting Resident Evil 4 was poorly localized instead of just admitting it was poorly written to begin with.

Opening the PlayStation Store on PS3 is always a fascinating experience. If the top games of the past 7 days are to be trusted, people are still buying and playing Grand Theft Auto V and Minecraft on PS3.

Between the gluts of hero shooters and co-op games, I'm still kind of shocked that nobody has taken the obvious idea of a PvE hero shooter. Seems like it could be very popular and co-op would be a better approach for the hero shooter format than competitive versus.

I'm seeing lots of people talking about Ace Combat 8, wondering if it's a good series and if there's a specific starting point they should be looking at. As someone familiar with the series (please note I am not an expert), I can answer some of these questions.

I would certainly like it if games weren't being announced with short trailers and a vague release window more than a year away. But the way some people are talking about Mega Man feels like they're taking a lot of things for granted.

Bringing up nearly decade old arguments for no reason but I've never really understood the whole "Haru joins too late in Persona 5" argument. She's present for Okamura, Sae, Shido, and the finale. That's a pretty big chunk of the game!

Honestly my favourite part about this is that the logo is there twice and the minimap was seemingly moved out of the way to make room for the lower logo. Looks great, man

Would be nice if Evo's retro game was something that wasn't Capcom for once. But that's pretty low on the hierarchy of their problems these days.

A while back I saw someone talking about the legacy of Shenmue and a bunch of people were saying in complete honesty that it wasn't a big deal and the only game it influenced was Yakuza. People really don't know much about Sega.

Hot take but I don't really care about AI generated advertisements. They're ugly, but commercials are always ugly. It sucks for the actors and crews who otherwise would have gotten work but that's the extent of it.

Playing the original Resident Evil (Director's Cut, technically) is a very odd experience because the voice acting and dialogue are truly as awful as everyone says, but everything else holds up remarkably well. Stone cold classic game.

My totally anecdotal experience of the Marvel Tokon beta tells me the most popular characters are Spider-Man and Ms Marvel, and the least popular characters are Ghost Rider and Star-Lord. Iron Man is also surprisingly unpopular.

In light of Kill Bill getting a new bonus scene, what other films do we think could be expanded by Fortnite? I'm thinking we could approximate the extended version of The Magnificent Ambersons with Jonesy as the lead

Well, there it is. Good game overall, but one I have a lot of gripes with. But it did enough well and really hooked me in with the ending, so I'll be there for the sequel.

It's the age old question: does your vacation start the moment you leave work, or does it start the first moment you aren't at work that you normally would be? The answer is that it doesn't really matter as long as I don't need to go to work next week.

I'm glad the Zelda game people are comparing Metroid Prime 4 to is Ocarina of Time rather than Breath of the Wild. That's one crisis averted, at least.
