There would be zero debate if husbands had adequate authority over their households, but alas we live in a hellscape.

Adaptations were a mistake. Send it all back for incineration.

Silent protagonists were a golden age we didn't realize we were living through.

Does the Sega Game Gear count? Handheld CRT displays were kind of wild in retrospect and really battery hungry. There's definitely a reason that Nintendo owns the handheld market.

I dread the oncoming tsunami of self generated entertainment that AI is going to fuel.

Maybe if Blacks would stop breaking the law they wouldn't be encountering law enforcement so much. 92% higher rate of being on the receiving end of this shit just says to me that they're causing problems at a 92% higher rate than other populations.

I recently heard the phrase "therapy language" and I think it does a good job of encapsulating this whole family of linguistic drivel that needs mocking.

Pretty sure they removed that a long time ago. I remember I used to be able to shit talk people directly on Street Fighter 4 but then they pulled the plug on that system and you had to get someone to agree to a friend request on Steam in order to initiate trash talk, which really put a damper on that.

Demoralization.

It's been years since I last had the momentum to actually power through to Throne of Bhaal. Does the mod live up to the hype or is it about the same as the other well done ones from its era?

If that isn't the sign of a dead Bethesda game then I don't know what is.

Care to elaborate? Doom was tentatively on my list of games to eventually pick up, so I'm keen to hear warnings to the contrary.

Just follow the green lights. That was some brilliantly understated game design in my opinion. It was enough to guide the player without beating them over the head with a giant flashing quest marker.

I have nothing to add other than my visceral agreement and application to join the angry mob when it comes time to get out the pitchforks and torches.

Steamrolling stuff was kind of the appeal of Doom 2016 for me. I liked feeling like Doom Guy was a veritable force of nature. Doom Eternal took that joy and shit all over it in a way that I'll never forgive them for.

Digging through the archive is the way to go.

This past weekend I fell down a rabbit hole exploring the old Pokemon trading card game via the Gameboy version and man was that a wild ride. Why buy soulless corporate skinsuits when I can just go back and play games that were good?

I could have sworn I heard someone digging into it and their pull back on DEI stuff was just the standard rebranding while not actually changing their ideological commitments.

But yeah, they're still gonna fuck you until you have to pirate your own tractor in order to repair it.

I'm saying there's a very good reason why someone might hesitate to ask a feral nigger to turn down his music.

That's what archival sites are for.

Also as AI gets better and better(to say nothing of ye olde Photoshop), images are going to become less and less useful for conveying reality.

Yeah, I'm on the internet so much that I'm not aware of the hottest meme on the internet right now. Sure.

Do you think thier might be a step between "nothing" and "genocide" that you might be missing?

Yes. Telling him to knock it off and getting stabbed in the heart for your trouble.

You can't really escalate on a gradient with creatures who will readily jump straight to killing you over being mildly inconvenienced.

People who walk in the middle of the street like that deserve to be run over with absolute impunity.

While that is often the case, the potato head meme has been everywhere,

This is exactly the attitude I just described. You are making my point for me by demonstrating it in real time.

Dragon Age Origins was the last game Bioware made. It's been a catastrophic downhill slide ever since then.

Chad yes.

As someone who got on board the Bioware train with the original launch of Baldur's Gate...yeah, this is my stance as well.
