I can’t speak to the ones about holding babies because I try to generally avoid that, but I’m a black woman, and I feel these to the depths of my soul.

I remember some girl in college literally asking me “Oh, are you from a broken home?” It took me a minute to even understand the question.

Is it a bad sign when your hygienist doesn’t even bring it up anymore? 😅

“How’re your teeth?” “Well…I’ve been trying to-“ “Right…have a seat.”

Typing this in-between matches and after playing for the last 4 hours: It sucks, but I’m still here 😂

Honestly though: If you don’t take super serious, it’s fun to play. Every now and then I’ll buy the battle pass because there’s some character skins I want and when I can get a group of friends to play, we always have a blast together.

People who lose their minds over a Moira who “does too much DPS” or send “tank diff” into the game chat make it annoying to play, and it can get frustrating if you’re a streaming who is trying to rank or something, but just jumping on to have some fun playing in the different roles and getting good at different characters’ kits makes the game remain fun.

They are. The makers announced refunds along with the cancellation.

All 3 Mass Effect games!

I hadn’t viewed the trailer before that prior comment.

Judging from that trailer, they likely wouldn’t change anything about Black at all.

If this doesn’t include something about Herobrine, it will be a complete failure and deservedly so!

Yeah, ain’t no monetizing scheme is gonna save this one.

This is the key marketing fail. They released an OW clone, and then failed to highlight the differences. I might have thrown $40 at it, if I’d known that there wasn’t going to be a battlepass or something equally asinine to come with that price tag.

I played through their free weekend beta some time in July and didn’t hate it, but it was clunky and the designs were uglier than OW. That said, I had expected them to clean it up before release; anything except let it stand with its overarching veneer of greyige+olive green over every character.

I think they just released it to say it was released and be able to do the write-offs. Otherwise, any game that had been in development this long would have seen a huge marketing campaign that highlighted why players should abandon OW, et al for Concord instead.

Run Doom on them?

Kindle.

ADHD usually means that I’ll stop mid-word and want to read something else. If I have all my books in one place, I can still sit in my comfy chair and switch, instead of wasting further hours perusing my library and getting lost in memories of acquiring each book.

Some of them hold up, some of them not so much.

As does any work over time.

There’s, however, a difference in a depiction that was common at the time, versus outright racism. I mean, people still read about and rave over Lovecraft’s work and he was so racist that the other racists of his time used to tell him to chill.

You take the good with the bad in things from another time. Enjoy what you can in the good and learn from the bad.

Right, right. Korkie was Satine’s nephew.

I feel attacked! 😤

Despite it being the weakest of its generation

Ackshually…………

The PS2 was still being produced until PS4 was introduced, and its last game was released even after the production ended in 2013 (Nov 2013, but still…)

PS1 and PS2 were both masters of their generations. The OG Xbox was just really “Halo box” back then, and GameCube was awesome, but not as strong as PS2.

I literally just set a box of half this stuff in front of Goodwill and ran away. Next time, though…

It’s completely asinine for a game to cost this much, especially since it is going to be chock full of equally asinine microtransactions and costly DLC.

The “patient games” methodology is the best way to approach all gaming these days because, odds are, the game won’t be worth the $20-30 later price point anyway.

Yep. I figured this is what had happened and it definitely worked on me. 🙃

I purchased a new (to me) car the other day. Despite my age, this is the first time I’ve done this all on my own and I’m geeked over my credit score. ☺️

Why won’t you ever consider the shareholders?! Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders!

“More recently, you have described our DMA compliance as ‘hot garbage,’ a ‘horror show,’ and a ‘devious new instance of Malicious Compliance.’ And you have complained about what you called ‘Junk Fees’ and ‘Apple taxes.”

I’m sorry, but this exchange is just plain hilarious to me. 🤣 It reads like a recording between a couple going through an acrimonious divorce.
