    Mister BoneSaw buying his way into the games industry is not a good thing. No matter what side of the aisle you are on.

    You avoid Sweet Baby because they are “woke”.

    I avoid Sweet Baby because every time they get involved the story becomes flatter than an open soda container forgotten in the fridge for a week.

    We are not the same.

    It makes me so so sad to see that Alex effing Jones has a net positive rating on Steam. That POS really needs to fall off the planet.

    “Someone, someone… a sodomite… sent me a bucket of poop.”

    “It’s time to pray.”

    the cherry on top – you can’t leave reviews if you haven’t bought the game or played it through Steam (free to play, family share)

    Here’s the problem, modern review systems have become some kind of stupid cultural football so I don’t know if something is genuinely good or not though the review system.

    I was looking at Homeworld 3 but the reviews are overwhelmingly negative, and they all read so wishy washy about it.

      generally, on either Steam or Amazon, I find the negative reviews more useful – not for the actual reviews themselves, but the overall tone – if all the negatives are just whiny conservative pearl-clutchers then the game is going to be just fine – if all the negatives are talking about bugs, broken gameplay, unfinished storylines, predatory microtransactions then it’s more EA shovelware

    I bought a friend Cassette Beasts and they stopped playing the minute it showed him pronouns. I called him a fucken bigot, convinced him to buy me the Elden Ring DLC, and I haven’t touched it.

      The only games I’ve ever played with no pronouns were games that didn’t have any written story. Like Tetris. Super Mario has pronouns
