My God... it's a miracle... I'll ACTUALLY be picking a fire starter for the first time! I have never picked the fire starter in any generation I've played. It has always been mostly water and sometimes grass but this is the first time a fire starter has been the one with my preferred design.

Afro=kinky?
Anyway, read some of it. It's just useless prattling from a journalist that wants to whine about shit and knows if they whine about their race then some people will listen rather than ignore them for the whiny, selfish, and arrogant asshole that they are.
Hmm, since MS owns both Obsidian and Bethesda, there shouldn't be any licensing issue, right?Fallout New Vegas 2 is reportedly in ‘very early talks at Microsoft’ | VGC

I've never heard of it. Can you tell us more about it? I'm one of the weirdos on this forum who has a tendency to check out the wierd indies/older games.Store page for the remake of Ib went up today for its 10th anniversary.
I implore everyone to buy this when it comes out in English. The amount of influence this game had on the indie video-game scene was astronomical. The amount of beautiful artwork it generated by fans alone is amazing!

Please, please look into this game if you feel your interest at all piqued.
An RPG Maker horror game about a girl, the titular Ib (Meant to be Eve but because of language issues the fan translation of it made it Ib), going to an art gallery for an artist named Guertena with her parents. She ends up getting transported to an alternate world filled with the living paintings/sculptures/art pieces of Guertena's works, most of which are hostile and deadly, and trying to find a way to escape and return to the normal world. One of the amazing things about it at the time, probably even now actually, is how many unique assets it has. But also something that endears it to players is the bond between Ib and Garry, two people with nothing in common trying to get out of an art gallery nightmare.I've never heard of it.

It was released 10 years ago as a free downloadable game and, as I said before, made a huge impact on the indie video-game scene with how well done it was despite not being a big budget game or having any monetary return for the creator. It had a similar effect like Cave Story in encouraging people to make their own indie games. You can probably still find the original somewhere for download if you want to try it, though it does show its age a bit graphically.
How the fuck... Anyway it's been amusing to see Pokemon fans making memes about how the new starters better not evolve into humanoid Pokemon again. I didn't even know that was a thing with them, pretty hilarious. The final evolutions of the last Pokemon game's starters did look a little off.

Good. For those that suffer or have problems can get the help they need.
Video game addiction, now a globally recognized illness, seeks a treatment
Arcadia Kim devoted her career to video games, until one hit her in the face. The incident happened several years ago when Kim, a former studio operating chief at Electronic Arts Inc., was trying to peel away her then 10-year-old son from a game of Minecraft. He threw the iPad at her in frustration.medicalxpress.com
No doubt shame leads to addiction since you are isolated from paternal support that it would easier to phase out something when you got group mentality just slowly getting bored of something and moving on. We have done the same thing with more addicting substances and the best way to help curb overdrinking is to have a social environment behind it.That must’ve been a wake up call, and it’s sick to read the lengths EA and the guy who designed Halo 3 went to keep people playing. Not surprising it’s typically synonymous with MP gameplay either.
I thought the last few paragraphs were interesting too -
She suspected he was in active violation of the family rule limiting daily screen time to 20 minutes. Then she discovered him in a guest bedroom, a screen's glow gently illuminating the covers he was hiding under. The ensuing outburst left her in tears, face stinging, slumped on the floor of a nearby bathroom.
Kim concluded that her limits were unreasonably tight, borne out of a sense of guilt about her prior professional work on games and fear over their power. She was unintentionally creating an association of shame with her son's interest in the medium. Now Kim tries to embrace her children's hobby. "My son gets so excited when he talks about his Minecraft world," she said.
For clients of Infinite Screentime, Kim advises parents to play video games with their children and encourages kids to decide how long a game session should last before it starts and plan for intermissions. Kim also tells clients about the compulsion loop and how to recognize the hooks. People dislike being manipulated, she said, and simple awareness of the strategy helps control the impulse to overdo it.
