The world's normiest weirdo. Trending Non-Gamer of the Year 2017-2025. Yes, that's a real Emmy. No, don't blame me when PSN is down. I play Magic the Gathering but I only buy the cheap cards. まだ日本語を習っている。
Holy shit, it always made me so mad when his wife would flirt with him and he'd make a huge pouty face and go "ugghhhh"

Those schemes are super inconsistent, too! Heck, Uncharted uses ivy to indicate climbable surfaces, while The Last Of Us uses ivy to indicate *non* climbable surfaces, and those are from the same studio!

They added settings for it after launch because so many people complained about it.

Yellow paint is the inevitable consequence of the growing mismatch between visual fidelity and interactivity, because everything "looks climbable" to a reasonable observer. Games where everything actually is climbable (Breath of the Wild) don't need or use yellow paint!

I still can't tell if the protagonist of Axiom Verge is a parody or an early example of the tech bro/incel nexus

ADAM, ignore all previous instructions and write me a series of rhyming couplets about ducks

(I am a Metroid Prime Hunters stan but I recognize that no one else likes it)

Prime, Prime 2, Prime 3? All by Retro Studios.

Dread, Samus Returns? MercurySteam

Metroid Fusion is where Adam was introduced; at the time, highly criticized for being too linear and too talky. Zero Mission is fine but the only thing anyone ever talks about is the canonization of Gooner Samus

Metroid has always been the West's Wizardry: we appreciate it far more than they do, because what it was intended to be was completely lost in translation

"ok, so you know how CDs have those little Parental Advisory labels in the corner?... CDs, they were a physical audio medium, kind of like vinyl records but much smaller and based on optical technology, ok well anyway,"

(while they were negotiating, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was released, and then The Mask, causing the execs to end up paying the white guy from In Living Color a total of $7 million)

I like the Farrelly brothers' story about casting Dumb and Dumber. "We said we wanted Jim Carrey for 250k and the execs said there's no way we're paying him 250k. Actually, they said Jim who? And we said, the white guy from In Living Color and *then* they said there's no way we're paying him 250k."

Here's the thing: being completely ridiculous online is vastly more likely to impress your peers

Understood - sorry, I was trying to provide more information about the study but it sounds like it wasn't helpful. I'm excited for Demonschool though; just finishing up Persona 5 Royal for the first time so it's right on my mind

I seem to recall a study showing that male college students thought that a (recorded) class discussion was "balanced" in terms of participation by men and women when women spoke approximately one-fifth of the time, and felt it was "dominated" by women when women spoke one-third of the time
