IGN gives a 10/10 to a game I think will be bad: "Psh, just a bunch of shills. You can't spell ignorant without IGN."

"Sony must have cancelled PHYSINT because old-man Kojima was going overboard with the budget."
Because as we all know, Sony has been sooooo responsible with game budgets recently.
I'd sooner believe Sony cancelled it because it wasn't live service slop.

A generational fuck up. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in whatever meeting Sony had that decided this.

Just in case anybody was still wondering why we were so against people just taking Circana (a US analytics firm) numbers for gospel.
The global picture can look a lot different, as these sales percentages currently floating around for RE Requiem show.

Solar power honestly should be a right winger's wet dream.
There should be a huge subculture of weirdo sovereign citizens jerry-rigging their own solar panels and electrical systems, bragging about how they don't need some government or big oil to get their power.

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis.
You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Folks claim physical is useless because "look at The Crew". No shit. For the millionth time: We want a full game build in a proper state at the very least, preserved on disc/card. Independently usable. We object any online dependencies. We care for properties beyond tangibility.

The best part about friends is you can discuss deeply philosophical questions like 'what if instead of being a gay republican, Light Yagami was a gay leftist?'

With Steam's Summer sale going, I'm giving my recommendations. I'm mostly focusing on titles I've seen talked about less, but also ones I just think are cool.

There's a non-zero chance I would have grown into a religious RW chud if not for the gamers (and furries) I met online in my tweens. Some of them were the first openly LGBTQ people I interacted with.

Seeing the 'why doesn't Batman fix Gotham with money' discourse again.
Realistically, Batman has put so much blood, sweat, tears, and money into Gotham that it should have become a utopia 10 times over. But Gotham is such a corrupt and literally cursed hellhole that even Batman can only do so much.

My fellow Gamers,
I am once again here today to point out that our video games are becoming more expensive because of the trump administration. No other policy or ill-deed of theirs matters more than this one.
We must rise up against the current administration so video games are affordable.
