I’m the odd person in out in that I like the bare-bones nature of the current library. Read more

My god, that looks horrible.  I don’t want all that extraneous #!@$ cluttering up my nice simple Library pane.  There’s a reason I have Library set as my default instead of the store page - it’s not full of stupid graphics & other crap!

Wow, looks pretty good and boy is it long overdue.  Read more

Sigh, he just gave the ideologies he disapproves of just low hanging fruit to discredit him. People just need to choose their words more carefully, or just at least realize what they’re about to say is just going to make matters worse. Read more

I’m somewhat disappointed in Hasan (but still support him), bc he could easily avoided this drama by being less outrageous in his wording by rather saying that the responsibility for 9/11 was largely a function of US imperialism in the Middle East, which lead to the creation and objectives of Al Qaida.

Yeah, I really liked it but it really needed more time to breathe and let it’s ideas and story set in. I know it’s DLC and definitely on a budget but I completed it in about 2 hours. It needed to be at least 4 or 5. More quiet moments like the slime clearing section were definitely needed. Like a longer segment of… Read more

So to be clear, Dota Underlords is getting Underlords but not, you know, Underlord?

I get that not everyone (a) understands or (b) agrees with what, say, feminists do all the time. But there’s a distinct difference between a good faith attempt to engage and celebrating one’s ignorance:

Dude terminx and daedolon come off as really entitled broey jerks in those messages. The perfect toxic pair of, “I say edge shit” & “Because I don’t understand it, it’s stupid.” The whole discord seems filled with people who love to live in a state of purposeful misunderstanding because it fits their agenda.

Also, a… Read more

Good for the Trevor Project, that’s wonderful, but have they learned anything and will they change their behavior in any way? Because I’m not convinced that they know that the problem isn’t that they got caught, it’s that it happened in the first place. But sensitivity training, I guess. Hooray. Read more

This is the sort of anxiety I feel in almost any game I play that lets me choose character dialogue or otherwise influence the narrative by imposing my perspective, morals and ideals.

I’m replaying Kotor II right now and I’m constantly bumping up against that impulse; I strive for naturalistic in-the-moment decisions,… Read more

yeaaaah I only want a few of the characters but what they want from me in terms of skills largely doesn't overlap. I cringe when I get things "wrong" but also am learning to accept it lol Read more

In Competitive Play and Quick Play, players choose their role before finding a game. The matchmaking system will create a team that is comprised of two tanks, two supports, and two damage heroes. Read more

Hey you Classic Lit majors, write a Sonnet about 2-2-2 comps. Read more

Summits real name is dope as hell. Sounds like a better gamer tag than the one he uses.  Read more

But right now, applications of its full potential are basically non-existent, meaning those hands don’t have much in the way of legs. Read more

It is approximately 1 million times easier. I played dota, but my non-dota friends got their bearings within a few matches in Underlords. You can get pretty far just collecting synergies/alliances without really understanding the spells or individual heroes. It also helps that there’s ~1/3rd as many heroes as a normal… Read more

I was actually pretty pleased with what they showed. I was afraid it would be generic open world game #3252 which is getting real old real quickly. At least with generic action game #2998 the linear design means you have to build levels full of neat set pieces to warrant the price whether than scattering a bunch of… Read more

That game needs to be 20% faster. it looked slow this morning. Like the character was moving too slow for wall runs and like the character was using a strong slow style one handed, which is not what I believe they are going for. Read more

For a padawan of the light side, Cal sure is a ruthless impalement-lover in battle. Read more
