I like too many different things. They/them

Sekiro is good evidence that when paired with a more straightforward and in your face plot, Fromsofts visual storytelling elevates it almost 10 fold

I feel like you see this mentality reflected in a lot of online competitive spaces, where people are quick to blame matchmaking, balancing, game mechanics they don't like and use that as an excuse to not want to improve.

I think there's something interesting here about expectations that is really important. So, it is a deeply held belief that these games are shallow quarter munchers, before people actually play them, that's the perception there. If you think a game is already shallow and unfair, why learn?

Man idk, playing through Endwalker and trying to catch up for Evercold just reminded me how much I kinda don't enjoy the combat in FFXIV. After my break and having played other mmos if the evolved job thingy doesn't make the combat interesting enough I might just drop it again

It's really sad that the Marvel Rivals community is so juvenile. I know it's mostly young people on the internet running amok but the lack of pushback from the devs has allowed it to fester into something that affects enjoyment of the game for almost everyone across all skill levels.

Which wouldn't be the biggest issue if it wasn't a problem we've seen over and over again for basically any multiplayer game that comes out. You'd think we would hit a point where after almost 30 years of observable behavior devs would have the smarts to try to nip particularly toxic shit in the bud

Like, people obviously keep doing it because they can! There's literally no punishment for it a solid 80% of the time and there's ZERO reason for that to be acceptable esp when a majority of players want to just play the game in peace, whether that be casually or competitively.

Y'know, it's surprising how the thing with Karl and Eva feel like the only well thought out plotline in the show so far. I picked up a few things like her being one of his daughters but the reveal at the monument actually feels like something that was planned from the get go.

This cover is so funny to me because if I knew nothing about the show I would literally never guess in 100 years that that's Chief in the middle.

Halo Season Two (4K UHD) is $12.49 on Amazon amzn.to/4yR60yW #ad

So far I find it really interesting how much Sekiro reinforces picking smart fights. Other Fromsoft games do that to varying degrees esp on an area by area basis but the beginning of Sekiro really wants to punish you for running head first into encounters.

Cowardice. Any game with time, or inventory or money or ANY kind of limit, players will complain and mod it to remove all of that. And they're wrong *every single time*.

"I knew it would be a problem" - The Blood of Dawnwalker's controversial time mechanic won't necessarily be in a sequel, the game director says www.eurogamer.net/the-blood-of...

Batman Begins gets a pass cause it's the first one but the lack of commitment to bat themed gadgets in the other two Nolan movies is fucking LLLAAAAAMMMEEEE. The military look for the vehicles is wack as hell.

On top of struggling to maintain a charge my phone needs to reset at least once a day cause my data just decides to stop working. I have bars, but nothing across any of my apps load until I reset it. I wish I could afford to replace this piece of shit

I feel like ever since steven universe was coming out, online fandoms became obsessed with trying to "solve" shows while they run and then crashout when they're wrong. Just, like, watch the show man.

I love that everytime someone brings up Iron Giant, someone else inevitably brings up that Mansley probably got shot in the head before he even left the county lmao

Watching the internet mangle almost every bit of lingo they get their hands on is like watching a kid repeat whatever their older sibling says cause they think it's cool.

Letting someone convince me to get an iphone is genuinely the worst choice I've ever made in my adult life. This piece of crap struggles to charge regularly.

I can't believe that the dota 2 subreddit is STILL almost violently defending racism for the past 12+ years. They've been this way since I was in high school.

Like how do you even get to "this thing that is literally ABOUT religious topics should stay from religious commentary" what are you doing here, bud?

Hell Let Loose is so interesting on paper but in practice is one of the most miserable military shooters I've ever played. Literally everytime I reinstall it to try it again I regret it in 2 matches or less.

Recent news has reminded me that the way in which Falco says β€œMonkey” gives Frieza a run for his money.
