Yeah, that accounts for less than 1% of people. So stop trying to make it out like every third person is gay, bi, etc. No one would fucking care if assholes like EA weren't shoving an agenda in everyone's faces 24/7. So yeah, it should be a toggle. Not wanting that doesn't make you the next Hitler.
You can pretend LGBT people don't exist all you want, but that won't make them disappear. SimpyMonk already set you straight on that ridiculous 1% figure (it's much higher). You never complained when they shove straightness down everyone's throat, but now you have a problem. Hmmm. I wonder why. LGBT people exist. Deal with it.

I don't get the WoW un-gendering though. This whole thing seems to be getting blown out of proportion lately, with games.
I never played WoW but I assume instead of choosing man/woman, you just choose body type. It shouldn't be controversial or anything, since 'body type' is objectively a more accurate label anyway.

Elon Musk is more evidence for why we need social media control laws that keep social media out of the hands of children who might accidentally shoot themselves in the foot with it.
Tweets need to be safely locked away in a Tweet cabinet, accessible only by a responsible adult, which Elon is not.
Sorry suckers, you're not gonna knock Factorio out of that Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam no matter how hard you try.
People are defending this but it is definitely review bombing. I get that people are upset at a (temporary) price increase but maybe, I don't know, wait a few days before dropping a negative review to see if it was a mistake that would be corrected? After all, if they're going to bump the price by 10x to "punish" Russians or whatever, why wouldn't they just stop selling it in that region instead? Definitely review bombing.

Think how cool it would be to send the first tweet in space.
How much cooler to then turn it into an NFT!
Terrible idea. If there are advanced alien civilizations out there and they get ahold of these space tweet NFTs, that may be the justification they need to wipe us out. RIP humanity...

Haven't checked out the game yet, but the movie that came out a couple years ago was quite good. Probably the best take on a Lovecraft story I can think of.
The movie was good. If you haven't, you should check out Annihilation as well. I liked it a little more than Color out of Space, but I enjoyed both. It's very Lovecraftian and very similar to Color out of Space.

Agreed 100%
Coincidentally, I replayed it on a Gamecube recently (was sidetracked from some emulation research I was doing on the GC). I forgot how much it felt like a real Bond movie.
Yea I played it on the GameCube back in the day and loved it. Best Bond game I ever played. I was surprised at how good it was, and that title song was sweet. Spent many hours trying (and failing) to get perfect scores on every mission. A classic.
Christ... the original game came out in 2003. The teaser trailer for the sequel was put out in 2008. Been waiting for this game for nearly 15 years. I don't think any modern game comes as close to vaporware as this game does. I still won't believe this is ever coming out until I get my hands on a playable demo.

I didn't know you could send DMs on Twitter. That seems weird to me. I always viewed it as a mostly one-way medium for communication. Shows how much I know about social media.
Oof. There's always been a 'reply' button, too, which appends your tweet to the original, meaning every single one is like a forum thread of indeterminate length. It wouldn't be very social if everyone was just shouting into the ether, a vast majority of users are there having public conversations.
That sounds terrible. I guess it's a good way to get people to indulge in their narcissistic tendencies, but it can't be good for much else. I think I made the right call by staying out of it!

Another instance of "incels gonna incel". If they want to show off their little dicks so much they should just join one of many Nazi cosplay groups like Proud Boys or Patriot Butt Boys or something, and they can diddle each other.

Surprising to see that some people think the voters in each state should not have the right to determine abortion laws in their states.
Would you be cool with a state law that puts men to death for masturbation? After all, you're committing genocide every time you masturbate. Each sperm is a person. Then there's the whole slavery thing but that doesn't come close to the evil of male masturbation.
That's awesome. This isn't just some strongly worded statement in support of human rights. They're actually putting their money where their mouth is. Good on them. I hope more companies do this.
Maniac Mansion... now there is a game worthy of a remake/remaster, Day of the Tentacle style.
I mean, disparaging education and learning does make it easier to groom children, so I can totally understand why conservatives do it. The more uneducated and vulnerable kids there are, the larger their pool of potential victims.
As for The Sims 4... I just checked on Steam and it's $630 for the game and all DLC, much of which is in sale. Christ, people love their sims. Most large sim franchises with lots of DLC seem to target middle age people with lots of disposable income. But The Sims seems appeal mostly to very young people. Well, it's better than spending money on Diablo Immortal loot boxes, or gems, or whatever.

Xi has thin skin.
Reminds me of someone else I know.
I haven't played all of their games but every one that I have played has been pretty great. Zach has to be a multimillionaire so I can't blame him for wanting to retire, but it is kind of a bummer.
Combat is always the least interesting part of these types of games, so I'm disappointed that they're putting so much effort into this, but people love their pew pew explosions I guess.
One of the better chill sandbox games out there. I played a bit while it was in EA and enjoyed piecing together the story bit by bit while exploring the various locations. Land exploration was a little clunky, though. Looking forward to starting it up again to finish it.
Tony Hawk 3 and 4 were fine enough, but 1 and 2 are where it's at (especially 2). I can live with just the first two.
