    Escapists who live in lower income areas, what is the craziest thing you've witnessed?

    - hooker in her underwear crying in a bank, surrounded by people taking photos of her getting arrested. - some guy smashed in a cab's window for reasons i couldn't ascertain. - a fucking ton of random cosplayers doing cringy shit in the streets. - old lady threatening some old guy with a bat...

    Anyone else experiencing loss of interest in a game, the more popular it gets?

    i hope you don't give these people shit in real life. if people are tourists in your scene it gives you a point to start a conversation at and make a friend even if they ditch games later. if people are just trying to use their nerd knowledge to act better than you then learn to spot that...

    Anyone else experiencing loss of interest in a game, the more popular it gets?

    there are 2 times i give a shit what other people are doing 1 is when they're not paying attention to something i think deserves it, so i tell them about it 2 is when i want to be where the people are at. i play street fighter because there's a huge community for it and guilty gear because...

    Nintendo Will Eventually Discontinue Less Popular Amiibos - Update 4

    it's not that hard to find pikmin at retail nintendo will probably reprint it at 30 bucks for next holidays if their greatest hits patterns are any indication nintendo also shuts down production in december for like a month, so "discontinued" might just mean "unable to be ordered for at...

    Jimquisition: The Poison of Pre-Order Culture

    Preorders are a huge part of how retail chains make money. The margin on a new game is usually under five dollars for retailers. Rent in a mall is several thousand dollars, and you still need to sell like 1 used game an hour to pay your workers' salaries. When a retail chain gets the money...

    Respawn Exec Wouldn't "Rule Out" Titanfall Single Player

    frankly i respect that focus. it's a math issue. how many millions of dollars do we spend on a pointless setpiece to setpiece real single player campaign and how many dollars do we lose to people that won't buy a multiplayer-only game? i actually think that not having any actual context for...

    Samus's new kicks

    last time i saw this discussion it was full of people pretending that those who had an issue with the heels were taking it out of proportion. while it's hardly the end of the world, i do think the heels are stupid. minus a huge chunk of the endless vulgar rage i decided to add to it, i said...

    Walmart Fired me today for insabornation

    yo retail is bananas there's like 3 major boss types, only one is any good. there's young blood with way too much ambition thinking they can claw their way up through the corporate ladder from their dead end retail assistant manager position, there's tired old cynical people who realized...

    Is Street Fighter Sexist/Racist?

    Street Fighter 2 was racist as all get out, and since that's the iconic SF from the 90s it's the image it chooses to carry. Dude, Zangief's dragon punch move is some radioactive Chernobyl slap. It's so understated, though, that they can't possibly have been kidding. And hell yeah it's...

    One gaming-related insult I cannot stand!

    oh tryhard is what i call people who look like theyre trying too hard to be cool or fit in when i'd probably like them better if they were just themselves like "look at captain tryhard with the idiot shirt" never heard it in gaming before but my circles are all super competitive naturally...

    "White Knighting" I don't get it

    to understand white knighting you have to understand both the douchebag mentality (simple) the hyper-beta-male mentality, (behind the spoiler). the HBM mentality prohibits that the characteristic niceness be interpreted in any way as a courting maneuver. if a guy is only nice to pretty...

    Making open-world exploration feel more meaningful?

    to make exploration meaningful, look at SotC. exploring in that game is more rewarding than most games because there's pretty much zero point to it, there's no boring NPC to talk to going "We never thought somebody would show up here!" or some pointless piece of crappy loot. finding a cool...
