I need to. Loved her on Kinda Funny. Big loss for them when she left. Sorely lacking women voices on there

Janet really is the best. And yeah she did such a good job here

The people showing up to defend trees at the city council these days are nimbys who don't want higher density. They fail to see that adding more housing in Seattle will prevent hundreds of trees not being cut down in the new suburbs being built in our forested areas

And I am also free to think the joke is in bad taste and to refuse support for a game that makes jokes that make light of the shit situation I'm in :)

I mean yeah but really no. The political implications are too big to ignore here. Especially given the event being in LA with all the shit going on. Also like as a particularly targeted person in this fascist administration, it really doesn't feel great for people to use fascist iconography to make a stupid joke!

Also like splitgate 2? Really? The game that during this announcement announced a battle royale mode? The most tired shooter mode since hero shooters? And the one that had $145 microtransactions on launch? This is the savior of fps gaming?

Nah

I very much enjoy the threads! If for no other reason than having a space to discuss a game that recently came out

Unfortunately apart from a scraper / parser being written I don't see a way to do it easily

Yeah for essentially $50 with the bundle it's not bad

Well I can already predict this thread will be full of comments on the price so I'll go ahead and give actual impressions on the game.

It's really good! The free roam mode is maybe a bit more bare bones than I thought it would be but it's still great fun driving around and doing challenges. Some of the challenges are legitimately difficult and some of the special ones have taken me ages to complete. The driving feels great, the new movement mechanics are really fun. Knockout tour is absolutely the star here and a great new mode. The AI is harder this time around which makes racing against them much more fun in my opinion.

Overall I've been having an amazing time. I do think $80 is steep. But that aside, the game is outstanding

I may be misremembering but infinite ammo is like a setting you unlock for guns that you buy with points or something of the sort. I think they are toggle-able on and off.

Edit: I believe there is an option in special settings to turn infinite ammo off

Post nuke racoon city is such an awesome idea for a setting. So excited for this

All I gotta say is I am beyond hyped for Donkey Kong Bananza. It looks sooooo gooooodddddd

Yep it's really whack. Sucks too because I have 2 distinct squads. A crew from college and a crew from high school. One on PlayStation and one on PC.... Like I could buy it on both I suppose but that just sucks lol

Yeah I'm lucky enough that I have a squad that's all very into elden ring on the same system to play with. But if you don't have that it sounds like a pretty miserable time. Really hope they add cross play and balance single player more

Ive been going to pax West since 2011 and AAA absolutely had a huge presence there. It was the bulk of the show. Tabletop had a tiny section of the floor

The game key cards are only an option developers can use. Afaik no Nintendo published games are using them. Most games still have the game on the cartridge

I was just setting one of these up a week or so ago! Super excited to dive into it

Damn whoever gifted you Obra Dinn has really good taste! Great game! 🙂

I would hope yeah. I do think the first season is pretty outstanding. Like imo it's the best piece of star wars media and I don't think it's particularly close (though I am not a mega star wars fan by any means).

Well this does seem a bit outdated now that sinners, a really good original movie, has crushed the box office this weekend
