Not all discussion of bad things must at all times be reduced to repeating “bad topic is bad”

The post clearly isn’t an endorsement of blackface or racial caricature so what exactly are you all mad about?

It’s not good news, but it just seems like a repackaging of what we have now so I find it hard to be that more upset about than I already am

I dunno if I think this one actually matters

I’m all for having physical backups but those carts aren’t exactly archival quality to begin with so it’s not like having the full game on one would remove the need to dump it

It’s also not like we don’t have backups of digital-only games

We’ve ascended beyond the coat, Karl. We’re in stripe discourse territory now

Don’t trust them. I like the stripes

You’re honestly so much braver than I’ll ever be to trust fast food fish

It could be more on sale, but I can tell you it’s worth 2 McDonald’s meals

Hell of a game. Great modding scene with all kinds of kickass stuff from huge packs of furniture, clothes, and weapons to overhauls of the engine’s particle rendering system.

Highly recommended

No but this is the right answer. There’s a reason cages have roofs

I’d think more of a thick, soft net than a set of bars, but I think it would work

New York is Jewish coded, Chicago is protestant Christian coded

I don’t fully know what I mean by this but I feel it.

What does summarizing an FAQ even mean? The questions are each distinct, so wouldn’t it wind up just restating each question and its answer?

You got a source on that?

Not disagreeing, just curious

The problem with koalas is that they look exactly like friends. They’re the precise size and shape of something I should pick up and hold

I assume this is an evolutionary tactic to bring their enemies within melee range

I’m of many minds about AAA games as a consumer and hobbyist game developer/modder

I think one of the major factors to game costs being so high is that the development is often done primarily by people who have never done it before

Inexperience leads to inefficiency and worse results at high cost

Yeah, of course, where else would I order bears?
December 14, 2025 at 8:40 PM
You know, I did.

I think your original post is a typo because Space Bears is the right idea

A human space ship full of regular bears must complete a by-the-books docking with the ISS

Sounds like a potentially fun game jam game

Bluetooth is a polling protocol with a low polling rate and it upsets me greatly
