Ever see (or heaven forfend been in) a family where one partner beats the shit out the other partner, engages in financial abuse, just a horror show and then everyone pretends to maintain the status quo for others That's my country.

Not to mention it was an inspiration for several other games. Rambo, Battle of Olympus, Monster World, Wanderers from Ys to name a few. Hell even a lot of elements from it were seen in Castlevania 2 and later on Symphony of the Night.

People really do be too busy hating on Zelda II to realize it was a pretty damn influential title in itself.

Also it's just a lie. Unless they were born in 1918 and are talking Great Depression era, where a lot of kids in Philly were dropping out of elementary school and HS to go get jobs.

Reminder that the journalists do not choose the headline, the corporation owners choose the headline, and the billionaires chose the headline because the rich elite stands with fascists. The article says that the 3 ideas were 'good sounding' but are horrible and harmful ideas that are bad practices.

Personally I'll spend hours messing around with any custom vehicle builder in games. Maybe that's why I loved Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts so much.

I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

I mean I don't know much about the voice acting profession but if the two things you're most known for online are posting anti-union/pro-AI bullshit and harassing a voice actress for years on end odds are you're not going to make it in the field...

There are legit criticisms of gacha games. But FOMO, overcharging, and gacha elements in beloved games rarely get the same level of criticism. FFXIV, for example: - min. $10/mo - min. $40/expansion - $12-37 mounts - $1-8 dyes - $10 to change gender - $12 emotes - $25 to skip the story

Y'know all those stories in games and shows where the heroes overthrow some crooked globe-spanning monolithic theocracy and the world settles into peaceful anarchy overnight? Why stop there? It's pure fantasy anyway, make the new world one where communism works. Or libertarianism. Mix it up!

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Honestly they don't have that much in common other than "space themed action RPGs" but ME I just find insufferably boring and derivative. KH is derivative too but at least it knows how ridiculous it is and just has fun with its concept.

Dragons aren’t historically accurate. Dungeons as presented aren’t historically accurate. Magic isn’t historically accurate. Monsters aren’t historically accurate. Almost like folks show they’re defending historical accuracy aren’t really interested in historical accuracy.

There has never been a vehicle I've wanted less than the Cybertruck and this piece goes a long way to explaining why. (We almost got Krissy a Ford F-150 Lightning a couple of years ago and decided against it for reasons)

Mass Effect is just Kingdom Hearts except Kingdom Hearts knows its plot is ridiculous and knows better than to take itself so damn seriously. KH is way more fun to play too

Especially when a huge trope of shonen is that "stats" are arbitrary and have little bearing on the outcome of a battle.

To be fair we have guidelines in place to prevent that bullshit. But still, stay fucking home; no one wants your disease. Fuckers act like this whole place will crumble without them but guess what, it won't. Just like it hasn't the last 30 weeks in a row you decided to take 4/5/6/7 day weekends.

A reminder that if Trump wins & purges the civil service to replace it with loyalists as planned, all sorts of govt data will become totally untrustworthy. The House GOP is already trying to rig the census to screw Democrats in redistricting after Trump's first-term attempt failed
