Yeah if you start analysing it and paying the slightest attention with -phobias in mind the whole thing starts looking at bit sus.

Ditto paintball/airsoft

Brand new concept to me, we cant have anything nice.

The real test of moneymaking ability online is how many times can you say LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE before you make an attempt on your own life?

Follow on question : would it be enjoyable (or even possible) just 2 players?

I only have one friend…

Like when you look at the list of custom games, instead of just being weird and wonderful game modes and “chill no kill VC 18+” there was also “regular overwatch being played by regular people”

They had the Kinect which (ignoring all the negative press surrounding it) fucking slapped, and could easily have been integrated with a VR headset for full-body VR.

They have Blizzard which im pretty sure means they can put WoW on xbox but don’t even seem to have started.

They’re positioned to have the greatest console of all time and they’re just fucking around instead. It’s maddening.

Its weird how annoying the battle pass system is. On the one hand I get it, they want that sweet battle pass money that everyone else is getting, and I don’t really care about cosmetics anyway.

On the other hand, I paid full price for 1, and was willing to pay for the PvE, and it feels like they just said “fuck you pay me” out of nowhere.

I really wish there were custom games where they just play like quick play. I do believe its one of the best games out if not for the players. You either meet Sweaty Eddie who’s on the mic telling you to kill yourself because he thinks youre not winning hard enough, or the guy who thinks the game is to stand there and spam “hello” and the dance emote at the enemy.

I very very rarely get a game where people are just playing the game and enjoying themselves.

Even the memory of the nasally whine of AWWW Topsy is enough to trigger a minor migraine

I’m starting to suspect Garfield now…

Its like when people say “I can always spot trans people”. Yeah you’ve spotted 100% of the ones you’ve spotted.

That was remarkably well done how they handled that material, especially with how much of a joke American Dad makes things (which it should its a comedy cartoon but still).

I have to keep checking my weight on the scales and referring against the BMI charts because of that. I am fat right now, but looking back at pictures of myself I was very skinny for a while, but have always felt fat as fuck.

Im completely oblivious to any of the enshittification, but like any online game the fun is long gone for most people. Skill floor is way too high. As soon as you join a match youre completely outskilled by everybody and its clear youre nothing but a hindrance to your team.

Your opponents laugh at you and style as hard as they can and your teammates resent your existence, assuming they stick around long enough to make it clear.

Hyper-competitive games are fun for about 3 months and then youre either in or out.

Vandal Hearts on PS1. I think its probably not as good as I remember, but I was a small child and it said the word “Bastard” and that was the most adult media I’d been (unknowingly) allowed to consume. I played that game hard.

Im going to nominate one of these little guys

1. That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.

Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.

Mega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.

Right now they are. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Compared to just 20 years ago we’re living in the future. You may not have noticed the progress because you’d expect the future to includes hoverboards.
