I've been fucking embarrassed to be someone who likes games for a while now, but this is ludicrous. Anyone who played Diablo 2 back in the day would be in their late 20s to 30s by now. We're grown ups. We should be better than this.
I still feel like no one's really doing big budget adventure games the way Quantic Dream is. Yeah, they're not high art. And now that we know about how David Cage cultivated an abusive workplace culture, this one's going to be a hard pass from me. It's just so weird to me that narrative focused adventure games have been around for ages, but QD's games have never been seen as a part of that genre.
The only thing I can think of is the house in Gone Home. I am not a very ambitious person. It just seems like a nice, cozy house that's a notch or two above my income level.
Gamers are fucking ridiculous. People are being slaughtered in Myanmar. If you don't want a game that pushes microtransactions, don't buy it. It doesn't need to be some sort of righteous fucking boycott to send a message to corporate fat cats.
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes! We're both lucky to have the full support of our family and friends, and everyone just kind of came together to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch (No pun originally intended, but let's roll with it. Two people actually DID get hitched)
Our photographer was Bree Neeley. If anyone's in the southern Indiana area, definitely check her out. She shot the picture in the first post, and the three that I posted here with her watermark.
Three years ago, I met my soul mate. I never would have had the courage to even look for him if it wasn't for the support I got from the GB community, so I wanted to give you guys an update. And maybe call on your miraculous powers of spiritual healing one more time so I can survive mingling with 150 people without my anxiety bubbling to the surface.
I don't really come by the site in general a lot any more, but this thread helped me out so much in a really scary point in my life. I keep coming back here every few months to read through some of the beautiful words of support. Just wanted to post a quick update. :)
Lots of justified hate for Gawker prime here. Their collective attempt to justify the forced outing of a rival journalist was absolutely fucking vile. But I'm going to miss Jezebel a lot. There really aren't a lot of other sites with such a rich and genuinely funny rapport between writer and commenter.
