Conserve water by flowing like a raver?
Or take a random chance with your liver?

Has he accidentally confirmed he doesn't look at any marketing for games? Given the trailers showed off at least one woman in the team you play in the story.
Just like everything else, trailers get in the way of grifting. Probably only checks if he's told there is something to whine or goon about.

Even with the PS5 being my main console, my gaming habits have dropped considerably over the last few years. Outside of more casual, pick-up-and-play titles I can pop on briefly, I dont spend as much time as I used to on the big releases, even when I intentionally buy less to focus on the back-log.

Feels way too early, especially with how slow the pickup has been for the PS5, (Once we got past the lock-down supply issues) and it doesnt feel like its been that long since we stopped getting first-party cross-gen titles.

Yep, guys like that really dont help beat the anime pfp stereotype.

Finally watching the first episode of C4 for #CriticalRole and I swear my reaction for most of the character introductions.

Don't know which is more hilarious, that his balls hold all the water, or that it looks like you have to pull his dick to get him to shoot his load. 😆

Seems more like pain from being pent up. Which i can understand when his arms are too small to relieve himself.

Matthew 'Dark Star' Haycock @mattdark.bsky.social · 3d

Bit of both tbh. Can enjoy a bit of T&A in the main games, while also enjoying the speedy fighting mechanics.
Can enjoy the volleyball games when I want something very low stakes where the gameplay isn't a massive concern.

Matthew 'Dark Star' Haycock @mattdark.bsky.social · 4d

This. I enjoyed games like DOA here and there, but dont need all my games to be T&A focused.

Saw someone mention a Mario version of this on Facebook.
As hilarious as I was expecting!

#TronAres was ok. It kind of falls into the same area as Ready Player One did for me.
Story is fine, but they are relying on the visual spectacle to keep your attention, especially as we see the digital and real worlds collide.

Probably called out the guys low quality YouTube 'content'

"How?"
As ever, the reason is Maga. Continuing to show they are a party of morons who dont look at maps, who assumed that it cant be part of America because more people speak Spanish than English, and that its population isnt white enough to fit their Aryan image of America.

Yep, cant help but break out of combat and dash for a dropped weapon ASAP, just so satisfying to do, especially as an alternative to dealing with the archers.

Oh the irony of you accusing others of strawman arguments when you keep changing your story when facts get in the way.

Jay sure does love projecting his double standards while hiding from the people he fails to mock.

The amount of drawers I have filled with miniatures waiting to be painted for when I run my own D&D campaign! 😅

Oh the projected irony!

Lol, this comment got flagged as 'rude'.
Oldman here getting triggered by people asking questions, rather than blindly believing a habitual liar. 😆

Matthew 'Dark Star' Haycock @mattdark.bsky.social · 5d

Oof, the projection is strong with this incel.
