This looks absolutely amazing. The front grip being a side arm is pure genius.

We haven’t had a lot of people come in with full autos, but let me tell you, hearing the motor whirring from the corridor before darts start flying is as powerful as a battle cry.

Woo! I love this kind of initiatives, especially with great games such as these! Thank you so much for organizing it! <3

I’ve had my eyes on Nioh and Lies of P for a while, so if this is a way for me to get my hands on one of them, then so be it! :D

Quick, someone link a compilation of Civvie 11 giving increasingly absurd titles when talking about Carmack!

An interesting point of view for sure.

Looks like they slant toward overly difficult, Souls-like games.

I’d say that there definitely is a correlation there, but probably not causation. Game of the Year is generally awarded to games that had the most impact on the video game “ecosystem” at large (I hate calling it an “industry”, but better words are hard to find). And it seems to me that the challenge/difficulty aspect has always played an important role in the history of video games, dating at least as far back as the arcade cabinets from the 80’s.

Given that most modern games at least contain elements of challenge, and given that it is what is expected by the public at large, I guess it makes sense that these games end up being featured more.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, non-challenging games are still pretty few and far between, and they tend not to align with the factors that make games very popular among the bulk of the public.

I’m sorry for being so busy with work and I was busy with work and I was busy with work and I was busy with work and I…

Yep, that tracks.

Oh, absolutely. But in the context of the year it earned its award, it’s hard to deny the massive influence it had.

I looked up the other nominees in 2016, just for reference.

• Doom – id Software
• Inside – Playdead
• Titanfall 2 – Respawn Entertainment
• Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – Naughty Dog

Nonono, alcohol tolerance is a function of the creature’s weight, and it works perfectly.

The problem was the amount of alcohol that would get transferred on their paws when walking on spilled booze. If the alcohol was spilled from a mug, then the game would place the equivalent of a full mug of booze on each paw, which would then be ingested when the cat cleaned them.

Four full mugs of beer would be more than enough to waste anything the size of a cat.

Yeah, you have to read it as “laws that apply specifically to men”.

Fair point.

Me at the sex shop checkout:

“I… I have a prescription.”

Be a true dullard

We be gatekeeping dullness, now?

The original sin was colonizing the Americas in the first place.

Y’all could have been playing ollamalizti right now.

Now you have to tell me what a Jewish Space Laser card would look like.

It’s not, but I’m willing to hear your reasoning.

DS2. I am in the process of getting all achievements.

As for a tip to newcomers? Prepare to die, obviously.

Neat, now to learn German, find this book and find who he was supposedly quoting 😂

I love that the reference includes “see Stalin” without any further context. We’ve come full circle 😶
