well, I was all set to agree with them about decarbonizing and deindustrializing, but then they had PUNK in the name, and I prefer my revolutionary movements to be more POLITE THANK YOU

My grandparents would say something similar to this TikToker about certain “kinds” of people, and I rightfully consider them fucking abhorrent for it. I consider someone who would unironically say this kind of shit to be the same kind of abhorrent.

It’s weird how some people claim to be sex positive but are just as prudish as the religious conservatives they rail against.

Would it help if she was 400 pounds? Then it’s body positivity, and we’re allowed to like that!

So, apparently you can make as shitty a game as you like, as long as there’s a streaming tie in people will eat that shit up. - the lesson publishers will get from this whole thing

I guess it worked for Cyberpunk.

Holy shit you must be 13 if you think RvB is from the 90s.

Do you do CrossFit too?

Please don’t continue to beat this dead horse. What made Mass Effect great was Drew Karpyshyn’s ideas and world building, a solid cast of characters, along with a lot of superb visual design. Mass Effect had such an interesting, detailed, lived-in universe. The quality of writing in the games after the first is perfectly proportional to the amount of Drew Karpyshyn’s involvement, and it sharply declines after the first. A fifth game made purely out of a corporate desire for profit and not to tell a story is unlikely to yield better results, in my mind - see Mass Effect: Andromeda for evidence on that.

It’s probably the fact that the writing was god awful. The gameplay was OK if repetitive, but Mass Effect with bad writing is just Binary Domain.

When you can’t attack the argument, attack the source lol

Cmon, he put lots of belts and zippers on things and gave us the not at all convoluted plot of Kingdom Hearts, that’s gotta count for something

Just kidding, Nomura and his enablers are the worst thing to happen to JRPGs

Ironic that he basically kick-started the trend he criticizes with One Winged Angel, but maybe that’s why it gets to him.

No thank you, the VII remake feels like they are making the rest of the game in the next room. “No, you can’t do the next part, you have to collect flowers for orphans and have a motorcycle chase.” Constantly buying time with stupid crap.

The original was well paced and fun, they would undoubtedly fuck it up and have Tetsuya Nomura write it.

Keep on hoping Putler will stop here, Neville. He fucking won’t.

This show is my personal favorite of the year, but I am so put out that they’ve stopped being a cozy emotional travel fantasy show to do a fucking tournament arc. I am intensely doubtful that they are going to do anything remotely interesting with this tired fucking format, which I feel only really shines in a show about fighting with a bunch of characters you already know and wonder how they’d stack up. It doesn’t help that the new crop of characters other than Denken are pretty flat.

Metal Wolf Chaos should factor into all discussion, even those that have nothing to do with FromSoft.

LET’S PARTYYYYY!

No shit, they were discussing the possible geopolitical implications, not saying China is uniquely duplicitous, please use your media literacy to not insert words into people’s mouths

They’re not saying it is invalid, they are wondering how long it will take for China to immediately flip on this once it’s about their own interests, because they constantly talk out of both sides of their mouth on this sort of thing.

People said the same about Kanye’s EVA foam marshmallows

Assange got e-mails for both Republican and Democratic parties from a Russian hacker associated with the Kremlin and then specifically chose to withhold the Republican e-mails and release the Democratic e-mails. If he meant anything he said about transparency, he would have released everything, but that’s not what he or his employers wanted. They wanted their puppet president in Trump, and Assange was happy to help like the Russian asset he is.

Act like a spy and rapist, be treated like a spy and rapist.

Whistleblowers are impartial. They don’t withhold information to help tip the scales. Edward Snowden is a whistle blower. Julian Assange is a Russian asset and a rapist.
