Mediocre dudes who think they're better than everyone and deserve everything simply on the merits of their whiteness

Authors been dunking on this all day, but let me say to my fellow white men: there are roughly 95M of us in America. NINETY. FIVE. MILLION. If you can't answer the question of what makes YOU unique in the year of our Lord 2025, during peak Attention Economy, God help you cause less diversity won't.

Indie devs that want to do either of these systems looks, please learn this! I promise your end result will be a lot more rad than just turning off texture AA and using some shader you downloaded next to modern rendering techniques

Incidentally I'll take that 10 minutes anyday over putting up with Kratos's annoying ass kid the entire game
It's really good

Too bad all the 14 year olds will only pay attention to the 10 minutes of gameplay you're stuck escorting Rick Moranis and completely write off the rest of this fun ass game

Persona 3 Portable hate from people who never played it

Then again they never actually played Persona 5 either and they still worship that crap

That moment when you realize you'll never live up to some scumbag sociopath's ideal of "manliness" and just decide to be yourself is incredibly liberating

Got a feeling we'd solve half the worlds problems if more people did this instead of trying to appease shit-eaters like Andrew Tate

Every time a sports player does a commercial for a pain reliever or something and you're just sitting there in anticipated cringe for when they make some horrible pun about the sport they play because they always, ALWAYS do

I'm still playing Metroid Prime 4. It's really fun.

Hope they remaster 2 and 3 at some point too. I never finished 2 and barely touched 3

"Not enough good games in the first year of Switch 2. Nintendo's over"

(Very same person)

"Had your Playstation 5 for 2 years and there's still barely anything to play on it? You're not a big enough fan!"

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience:
- follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them
- interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers)
- post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

SNES is pretty indisputably the nostalgic RPG console but don't forget the Genesis had some pretty awesome ones of its own.

Wasn't nearly as popular a platform in Japan but still manage to get some genuine classics

This Christmas, can we remember what matters most? … that “Phantasy Star IV” had some of the coolest pixel art monsters.

No you hate what Final Fantasy has been for more than half its existence.

Know-nothing Big Man Atheists trying to turn you into their personal straw man even when you've professed no belief in any particular religion and are just sick of them slinging hate at anyone who doesn't instantly and immediately agree with them 1000%...
