You can think of that point fondly on your way to your summer vacation camp in Siberia.

Comrade Val, questioning Comrade Husker is anti-Soviet and will not be tolerated. It's Siberia for you.

Comrade Husker, claiming an image to be colourised when it is not is a grave insult to the Supreme Soviet and will not be tolerated. It's Siberia for you.

Comrade UniversalCommons. You are good Soviet Citizen. Order of Lenin for you. Then Siberia for lying.

Damn you!

In all seriousness though in case people didnt know what that image was referencing Twitch decided to remove the "Pogchamp" emote from twitch because the guy its based on apparently supported the attack on the capital building in america. There has been some controversy amongst gamers on the matter. And more controversy about the replacement because the replacement guy its based on said white lives dont matter or something.

Is this in any way related to that strange Ryuko pogchamp thing I saw going around twitter like a month ago?

I meant like, that’s what a pogchamp is. I’m not sure what any of this is honestly aside from hearing about Twitch getting rid of it.

Its just an emote called pogchamp that you can put in twitch streams. The person who the emote is based on (its his face) is what the controversy was over.

Another game where I run around punching Nazis is always welcome.

I say that and then we get a new Fate of Atlantis, which would be even better actually.

Gambling implies money. As in you bet money, get money. Lootboxes are paying money, getting random crap in a video game.

I think most people would understand that gambling can involve prizes other than money or things that can be converted to money, like casino chips. Plugging coins into a slot machine in the hopes of winning a car is not meaningfully different from plugging coins into a slot machine in the hopes of winning money.

The latest Wolfenstein game sucked. The other two were good, though. I still prefer Doom over Wolfenstein, but they're both a lot of good sci-fi fun.

Also, shooting Nazis in videogames never gets old.

I only played New Order and it was a lot of fun. But boy did Youngblood look rough.

I've been replaying Pathologic 2 again the last few weeks and for some reasons I'm thinking I may torture myself for no good reason and play Pathologic again.

I can easily say that without exaggeration nor hesistation that this game is perfect. It's a modern masterpiece and the best game I've ever played. An easy 10/10. Everything is knocked out of the park with it.

If FF7 is perfect, is FF9 perfecter?

I dunno, I haven't played either. Well, I mean, I've technically played FF7. I've played through Bombing Mission on an emulator but that's about it.

The remake is a lot different, trust me.



Sorry if this has been posted already, but did we miss New Pokémon Snap's release date?

Time to go reinstall FF9 and dig out the old strategy guide. It's like VtM: Bloodlines, anytime someone mentions it, I just gotta reinstall and do a playthrough of it.

Also, has anyone checked on the Wasteland dudes? I think quarantine is making them loopy.

Turns out my cousin's boyfriend is a gamer himself; he and I had a bit of a chat about the Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty franchises, along with StarCraft. Guy's convinced that AC4 was the last real AC...and was surprised when I told him that Infinite Warfare was basically Call of Duty: Universal Century.

Yeah, basically told him that SetDef were basically Zekes and the UNSA were the Feddies.

They could've just done what they did with Prince of Persia Sands of Time after it ended and make a new series using similar mechanics like they did with Assassin's
Creed.

But nope, gotta milk the brand recognition.
