Wanted to do a "Games I've played" thread for this year. So, err, this is the starting post
Any of my mutuals with even worse sleep patterns than me able to explain UK candidate selection?
Uh actually how does this work? I would like to know.
You have demonstrated no awareness of how the American electoral system functions.
I at least know I have no idea how a single candidate is selected by a party in the UK.

Lotta confirmation bias in the quotes from people saying “x,y, and z $50 games have sold well whereas a,b, and c $70 games sold poorly, thus obviously they’d have been successful if they’d been $50”.
They *probably* would’ve been more successful, but there’s no certainty it pays off

One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze?
Most video games should not cost $70.

Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy
One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

Okay, I’ve only just started the investigation of Chapter 4 and am calling it quits for the night, so don’t know the outcome. But the events of the actual murder felt… really contrived

I don’t think this site should be less political, but I do wish it didn’t waste so much energy on arguing about the merits of voting for the lesser evil or not voting. It’s fucking February

We're back with a one off poll ahead of Resident Evil's 30th anniversary next month.
Rank as many mainline (see image for what counts) Resident Evil games as you wish. If you strongly dislike a game, it is better not to rank it at all.
If you need help ranking, see follow-up tweet

Always love the type of guy who sees a person (usually someone they have internally tagged as centrist) talking about online abuse and auto-responds that the person in question is conflating criticism with abuse

Only going to do this for one year's results, but finally did a Sankey diagram to portray the transfer of votes in the Then and Now prompts. Decided to go with 2010. Originally had more games separated from Other, but, as you can probably guess, it became a bit of a visual clusterfuck

Yeah that is tiresome. If consumption isn't an identity, then consuming the same goods years later on the cheap also should not be considered an identity. I'm happy for people who are able to spend a lot of money on games, and I don't consider myself better than them for not wanting to.

I will always find it amusing when people say they got out of the backlog mindset by only buying games they intend to play straight away.
Like, no, that’s still backlog mindset because you’re still seeing an unplayed game as a weight pressing down on you

This is, and bear in mind I can't bear sport, an extremely stupid take.
Not liking spectator sport is one of the best life hacks going. Over a lifetime you'll end up with literally years of time to dedicate to whatever you want, compared to spending it being pointlessly obsessed with other people playing a game

You all saw the guidance that went out yesterday for trans kids in schools. Absolutely horrific stuff.
This is how the right wing papers are covering that news. Times, Mail and Telegraph all have it on their front page, the first two as their main story of the day.

Kinda hard to "roll right through" Britain when the Channel is in the way, which was the primary reason we didn't suffer the same fate as France, not because of our resolve or whatever
If WW2 happened today we'd be so busy arguing on the internet over whether the government was trying to control us with blackout and rations that the Germans would just roll right through us in hours
