What a bold-faced clearly obvious motherfucking lie.

Rockstar has released only 2 full games in the past 13 years because everything they’ve done since then has been funded by microtransactions. The price of entry is negligible to them when whales pay for multiple copies of the game every fuckin month.

Why do we tolerate it

The person who ceaselessly bashes their head against a brick wall hoping to knock it down will accomplish one thing, and it’s not knocking the wall down

COD players to Tom Crooks

I’d argue you should watch A New Hope because it was groundbreaking at the time, Empire Strikes Back because it’s amazing by any standard, and Return of the Jedi only if you crave resolution. Then watch Rogue One because it’s borderline better than Empire Strikes Back.

There’s only 2 good Star Wars movies that are good by the standards of modern cinema.

All of fucking Bloodborne. Fast travel is great. Building into the narrative where you don’t tell the story directly? Fuck that.

Is this the shapeshifting, intelligent kind of dragon? Because I wouldn’t want it as a pet but as a friend. That’s way nicer than having something that all my neighbors will treat the same way so many bigots treat pit bulls.

Fresh basil absolutely counts. I love margherita, but the thing with margherita is that you need an amazing crust for it to be a good pizza. That’s not really a surprise at all, but even a terrible crust can be redeemed with a mountain of good toppings.

And my statement is not about gatekeeping a pizza, in fact quite the opposite. Pizza is such a low bar that, yes, even Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza is better than no pizza. Great pizzas will have great crust and a wise combination of toppings, but a good pizza can be a mediocre crust with a kitchen sink on top. That’s basically what I order at MOD pizza everytime I go; just put everything on there, chief.

I mean it’s food and it probably tastes good. I concede texture is an important part of a high-quality pizza, but hey Totino’s are delicious and Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction is one of my favorite movies ever

If the bread sucks, flip it, peel away the crust. Boom. Keto pizza.

There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.

the rejection of games in liberal democratic culture

The fucking what? I’m sorry but in my experience playing video games since literally before I could read (Pokemon Yellow was a real struggle for me) the only people who have discouraged my passion for it are the conservative fucking boomers, and absolutely no one else.

The older I get the more gaming has become a legitimate hobby, accepted by more and more people. Older generations have accepted it as a much slower pace, but it’s still happening. The victimhood that these incels perceive is entirely self-imposed.

I’m more of a Der Eisendrache nerd myself, but Kino’s a solid 6/10 for sure. I mean, it’s definitely not Die Rise

I don’t have a helpful answer to your question, but wouldn’t it be better to call him something that’s actually an insult about his character rather than his vanity, like “First Felon” or “First Rapist” or something? Not that he’s the first of any of those but “First” is a descriptor commonly reserved for the White House

I could rewatch Futurama endlessly. That show is always entertaining.

I think Phineas and Ferb is also fucking excellent. The creators’ sense of humor truly gets me

Love the idea. However the reason I won’t use this is the same reason I don’t use Friendica: no one I know gives half a shit about using FOSS because it’s better for society.

:(

I don’t have the answer but I’ve always thought it was interesting that British-English spells the filler words that Americans normally write as “uhh” or “um” as “er” or “erm”

I talked about this a lot with my partner since we had been living together for a couple of years before we decided to get married.

Marriage, to us, is really just an external expression of the love that we share and the commitment we have already made to each other. The marriage itself is not the commitment, just a statement of it. There are lots of members in our families who disagree and say that marriage itself is the commitment, but then again they’re the same ones who have been divorced or who have extremely unhealthy relationships with their spouses.

Leaning on a piece of paper with your signature on it as the reason you’re staying with someone is idiotic; paper tears extremely easily. I choose to love my partner, not because a paper tells me that I chose that long ago, but because I wake up every day and make that decision.

Why get married? I dunno, if it doesn’t mean the same thing to you, then don’t, and I say that with no judgement at all. If you care more about the person than you do about the idea if marriage (like I do) and you gain nothing from a marriage, then don’t worry about it and just focus on the person, yourself, and the relationship you both share.

“Buyer beware”

I’m not here to provide Valve with free advertising, but what do you want buyers to be wary of?

As posted elsewhere in the comments, Overgrowth was finally finished and the physics-based combat is extremely fun. Wolfire went on to make the handgun-simulator Receiver and Receiver 2 which are both also great
