If you hated BioWare's recent output but miss its older games, that's valid. If you think this is the time to talk about how you hated its recent output, I shudder to imagine you giving a eulogy.

WHAT ABOUT THE DEVS?? For the newly laid off ME team, that's complicated. To my knowledge, the people largely writing on the new ME did not work on the previous MEs. I have not heard where the current people are going. I'm also a Dragon Age fan account, so I know them better. Where did they land?

The fact that every "why are you unsubscribing?" survey from spammy junk email newsletters includes the option "I never subscribed to this" feels especially petty of them.

If you're romantically into an autistic person, I can't stress enough that you need to specifically tell them that in the most clear and unambiguous wording possible. We're like shitty genies. Unless you tell us your exact wish in perfect detail, there's no telling what dumb shit we'll assume.

My life goal is to walk into my local game store and the staff asking me "the usual?" before handing me my weekly copy of Star Wars Super Bombad Racing.

Spam political text: "Join the Republican Road Trip at these stops near you!" My reply: "Nice, now I know where to send the strippers." Their reply: "You have successfully been unsubscribed."

Is it healthy for me to prefer the enjoyment I get from watching happy couples in books and video games over trying to date in real life? Doubtful. But is it a mercy to the people I might otherwise be dating? Most certainly.

I strive to be as funny as the flight crew on the red eye I took once who spent every announcement singing about how sleep deprived and underpaid they were.

Pokémon X got me back into the series. It was exactly the 3D evolution I'd been begging for since Blue.

On this day in 2013, 13 years ago, Pokémon X & Y were first released. These games were the first 3D main series titles and had you travel through the Kalos region. and try to stop Team Flare's plans while introducing new Pokémon & Mega Evolution www.serebii.net/xy/

Seeing someone else finally say this feels like I've come home after being trapped in an alternate dimension.

Liberty Mutual ads have always been flop sweaty and pathetic, Liberty Biberty is their equivalent of kamikaze tactics: a move that only makes sense as a desperate last-ditch strategy in a losing war

Respect to Jane for calling out Mass Effect: Andromeda, a provably good game I will defend to my dying breath, as her underrated title here. But if she didn't remember who she romanced, I can basically promise she didn't romance Vetra. Spiky girlfriend for life.

These games might be a 7/10, but they're 10/10s in our hearts Watch to find out which ones we picked ▶️ youtu.be/LqsuewuJxYE

Any #danandphil fans on here going to the Akron show? I made some stickers as freebies to hand out and would love to see some of you there! Come find me around the city or at the venue and look for the green hair!

And I very much hope they continue to add romance to their games, cause Brynn and Cas are easily my new favorite game couple in recent years.

Celebrities shouldn't worry so much about fading into obscurity. I've lived in obscurity my whole life. It's a nice area. Lots of cheap restaurants nearby.

I followed every bit of news about it religiously. I've never been so obsessed with an upcoming system. I was basically the "NINTENDO SIXTY FOOOOOOOUR" kid when we finally got one (long after everyone else). Mario Kart 64 and Donkey Kong 64 remain my top picks.

IGN@ign.com

Today marks 30 years since the Nintendo 64's US release! Did you get an N64 at launch? What was your favorite game on the system?

You hate Taylor Swift because "ew girl music". I hate Taylor Swift because she's an out of touch billionaire. We are not the same.

I'm just gonna say it. A large percentage of the people who complain about "Marvel dialog" in movies, shows, and games have lost the sense of joy and whimsy in their lives.

I don't know if this makes sense, but... I hate when I can't fall asleep, but I also want to be able to enjoy the feeling right before I fall asleep for longer.
