Just bought three different games from three different online storefronts to save a couple of bucks. Ol' Merve is nothing if not thrifty.

What was especially great is that there was no actual game theory anywhere in his Tweetstorm.

It's actually still used to treat hypertension! But pulmonary hypertension, not systemic.

Transmog is for cowards. If you want to min-max, you should be forced to deal with looking like a goober.

The way I know that Bluesky is used by only, like, 50 people is that my feed is full of screenshots of posts that are already on my feed.

They already defend mechanically bankrupt parrying simulators like Sekiro; they'd defend anything FromSoft puts out, at least until the studio finally figures out how to make a functional third-person camera, at which point the games will be “too casual.”

The dog in Dragon Age: Origins is Barkspawn, and the dog in Dragon Age II is Furelden. That's how it has to be. I don't make the rules.

Motorists are some of the most entitled people on the planet. We build cities to cater entirely to their needs, yet still a lone pedestrian who has the gall not to be in a rolling death trap like them can send them into an apoplectic rage.

Re: the Dragon Age: The Veilguard trailer — If a CGI trailer doesn't reflect the gameplay of the game, nor does it reflect the tone and vibes of the game, then what the hell is the point of the trailer?

The lesson games media should take from the Druckmann debacle is that statements from creatives in corporate promotional materials should be treated as statements from the corporation and not statements from the creatives themselves.

Google user: What's the capital of Argentina? Google: Kill yourself. Just fucking kill yourself. Put glue on your pizza. Eat one rock a day. Touch poison ivy and then masturbate. Jump off the Golden Gate Bridge while you do all of that. It's Mexico City.

Publishing revenge porn is a little bit more than a matter of “tone.” I'm all for warning people about the dangers of the plutocratic destruction of the Fourth Estate, but let's be honest about what actually happened here.

The funniest thing about the Assassin's Creed Shadows "controversy" is that there is far, far greater consensus among historians about Yasuke's life story than there is about whether kunoichi actually existed.

In retrospect, I think the childhood moment that most radicalized me was seeing 91 erroneously listed as a prime number in my Grade 6 math textbook.

I know that when it comes to JRPGs, "It gets good after <x> hours" is almost a parodic cliché at this point, but Eiyuden really does get good after 10 hours.

I'd reply, "Stop union-busting and calling the cops on protesters, and then maybe I'll toss a few bucks your way," but I don't think they actually read emails. Or read at all, really.

I'm trying to figure out if Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is like Xenoblade Chronicles, where the game gets started 5 hours in, or like Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, where the game gets started 20 hours in.
