Obligatory parks and recreation

Skip a minute into it though for some reason the clip starts way sooner than it needs to.

Yeah he said "-if- it wasn't a beverage" its just a hypothetical

The display being at a higher resolution doesnt help either. Running retro games on my fancy flatscreen hi-def massive TV makes them look and feel so much worse than on the smaller fuzzy CRT screens of the time.

I can't stand modern games with lower frame rates. I had to give up on Avowed and a few other late titles on the series S because it makes me feel sick when turning the camera. I assume most of the later titles on xbox will be doing this as theyre starting to push what the systems are capable of and the series S can't really cope as well.

Fable 4 if it's getting a mention. It's the only game I'm actually excited for any more.

The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict, you don't know theyre coming or good until they happen.

I don't know why Fable is immune to my thickening shield of apathy, but basically every other game I see I just think "yeah it looks pretty but I'm pretty sure I played it 20 times before"

Im relying on sts2 to break the grip for me. I kinda wanna be "STS2 sucks, it's not as good as the original they ruined it somehow. Also why would I ever bother playing STS when 2 is out? Better find something else to obsess over"

I think it doesnt matter so much where the line is, because people who want to be offended by that kind of thing will find something to be offended about.

I don't see anything wrong with those examples in that article. I see it as like a giant game of "Guess Who" when I'm trying to talk about a specific member of the group to someone who doesnt know who's who. Nothing wrong with saying Mitch is "the Asian classmate" if he's the only one.

I've seen people desperately trying not to say "the black guy" when there's only one black guy and they're trying to narrow it down. "He's sort of tall and has glasses and a beard but not like a full beard and I think he was wearing a tie and" its interminable.

Using "othering" aggressively, implying that the differences matter, is a problem. Using it as an identifiable feature is only a problem to PC Principal.

Also the message didn't sit right with me unless I missed a bit. It quite clearly draws parallels between Beekind and slavery/prejudices, and shows the hero overcoming the system and liberating the bees.

Then at the end "actually slavery good lol"

I don't think so, but maybe in the extremes. There's some people with such low IQ they have difficulty following cooking instructions on a microwave meal. It might be possible to have such limited capacity that they're immune to depression.

I don't know these details as well as I should, but it's a great game you've done well there!
