Let that be a lesson to us all. Ask before you stick a camera between someone's legs.

From Norman's perspective it'd actually be a camera floating around him all day with nobody holding it. It's surprising he waits until that point to punch it.

That's a good point.

Some people are very mad that Hideo Kojima said that there are politics in the Norman Reedus Piss Adventures game.

Why would Kojima san do that to us? Why didnt he make another apolitic hidden gem like Metal Gear Solid.

Finished The Outer Worlds' main quest... under the impression that it was an RPG so I'd be able to finish the sidequests later. I was disappointed, but on the other hand the ending was pretty sweet... even if grim for the people of Halcyon.

Metacritic opened up user reviews for Death Stranding, and they're as appropriately polarising as you might think.

I get the feeling review scores for this one are going to be pretty worthless. You've as many fanboys are there are haters, and both are drowning out the legitimate reviews.

Let me guess, the negative reviews are mostly "SJW BAD" beacuse the game has politics that the right wing echo chambers don't like.

In other news:

I died in the cutscene where king boo gets the last hit on him with a bomb. Thank god I had that free golden bone on me.

I also got rank A.


Overall Luigi's mansion 3 is fantastic, and I recommend you pick it up.

Great puzzles and combat, but the final boss can be bullshit with what counts as a hit and what doesn't.

I'm starting to think there is an element of that to the reviews, yes, because from what I have seen of the game it does not deserve the sheer volumes of hatred directed at it.

The game was even in the news here in the Netherlands: https://nos.nl/artikel/2309416-gamewereld-over-opmerkelijkste-spel-in-jaren-van-bagger-tot-meesterwerk.html.

E-Sports is garbage and full of shady business practice and scamming. GG.


Also, Faze Jarvis was recently perma-banned from Fortnite, for anyone who cares. Why is that important? Jarvis is a large YouTube channel with 2+ million subscribers that's been built on Fortnite. His perma-ban came after he showed off an aimbot on streams and in videos, using it several times. Epic Games, as many issues as they have, are at least known to not be lenient on hackers or cheaters, especially with Fortnite, and a large content creator is no different. However, some people seem to think that is is different for big names, for...some reason. Most notably, Ninja recently came out, stating that Jarvis didn't deserve a permanent ban, and that, essentially, Content Creators and """Influencers""" do deserve special treatment over the average player.

Now, I'm not a Fortnite fan - in fact, I loathe Fortnite - but this is an opinion that's just stupid regardless of the game. Why should certain players get more lenient punishments than the rest because they happen to be cheaters who are popular?

The most amusing part of this is that Faze Jarvis made a video afterwards basically saying "Yeah, I was using hacks, but I didn't actually expect to be banned over it!"

Yeah he got what he deserved. He gratuitously used hacks with an alt, so he got what every other player doing the same thing would have got: a permaban. Reversing the ban would send out a message that some players are above the rules.

It honestly gets to the point where some of these people are like reality tv stars. Once established they’re basically famous for being famous, and anything they do is notable just because it’s them. It no longer matters if it’s actually interesting. Their fans obsess over them like celebrities and enjoy their success vicariously.

When they turn out to be cheaters or dicks, fans tripping on cult of personality will inevitably whine and rave. Sometimes the creators practically sic their fans on critics through social media knowing full well what will happen.

I only really follow LoL esports myself. World Championship finals this weekend. Hoping for a European victory.

Epic was right, perma banning him was the right thing to do.

He deserves it. No massive ego stroker with fucking ridiculous blue hair will save his ass.
By the way, here's an example of him blatantly cheating and saying he's using aimbot multiple times lol

Some people just don't understand that Kojima makes games for Kojima.

Death Stranding looks like a very interesting piece of work in terms of the narrative ideas and world building going on, but from a mechanics and gameplay position, it looks fucking frustrating beyond belief and unbelievably clunky and a tad pretentious.

Ah well, its not for me, hope the people interested in it enjoy it.

It's a FedEx delivery simulator.

It's not meant to be fun, it's meant to be a soul crushing challenge.

I might give it a bash when it's cheap on Steam, might be relaxing to play while I watch other things. Watch an hour long philosophical video while half-consciously delivering Tayto and teabags(or whatever) sounds cool.
