I’m sneaking in a Dead Space stream tonight, Riley. And I’m probably doing another playthrough of Titanfall 2 tomorrow. I guess I’m doomed to play good franchises that... something something something EA shutdowns something som... Read more

Whatever you say, TJ “Henry” Yoshi.. Read more

You’re still doing it. Read more

It’s definitely not something unique to this game. It’s a consequence of any form of shorthand or abstraction. The solution, in theory, is to remove ambiguity. I have some suggestions for that but I’ll concede it’s a difficult task. Read more
