That’s ridiculous. Sounds like TV review embargoes are reaching video game embargo levels of absurdity.

I brought the 7 “Good” shirt home and my kid immediately stole it as her sleep shirt because she’s also 7 and she doesn’t lose her mind in the comments when somebody says something is “Good”

So a 7? Or an 8?

This is so bleak and demoralizing. I fucking LOVE writing scripts for shows and videos I host. I genuinely, truly enjoy weaving in jokes and passionate anecdotes into my work. Asking a slop machine to do it for me would defeat the whole purpose. Fuck all this shit so much.

Scrolled by this too quickly and thought it was some kind of fucked up 1970s nightmare marshmallow burger thing for a sec.

This feels like the kind of thing they can just tell him they built without actually building it and he'll believe it.

Preach. I plagiarized my dad’s signature in first grade to get out of trouble in school and it’s just been the same scribbled garbage since.

Question applies perfectly to the entire Trump administration.

Oh man I’m so glad you’re finally playing it and you’re playing a version that got a TON of great improvements, patches, and quality of life updates since launch! That’s one of my favorite games to just kinda hang out in. It’s such a well built, lived in world. So happy you’re digging it dude!

Is he testing out a new spray paint? His face is the same color as the gold frame behind him.

The president watches FOX News for twelve hours a day so you could maybe start there.

I think if you gave me a full year to make guesses I still wouldn’t be able to figure out the plot of this film based solely on that cover art.

I bought a new ninja turtle action figure and it helped mine for a bit so I believe in you.

I have a separate mini fridge but also I cold ferment in a large air tight sealed container that’s kinda like a big tupperware.

Yup, I also did that!

Bothers me immensely that he’s been sitting in these interviews saying completely insane, obviously wrong bullshit for like twelve years now and the people interviewing him mostly just sit there and go “oh, ok”

These were fresh since I wanted them cut super thin and the jalapeños I pickled were a bit on the thick side.

Haha fuck yeah! I love this so much!

We posted a story on IGN today about a game director who said "AI will make all game developers unemployed in the future" and a commenter said "photography didn't kill painting!" and it just made me want to walk into the sea with stones in my pockets.

These are hilarious but also “buy them all to build a Bootleg Bowser using various body parts” is pretty damn amazing.

Super happy you're making these again! Had one for my first Switch and lost it in a move so I'm very excited to reunite for Switch 2!

This is great! I often wonder what country the White House is in despite it already having an American flag on the roof, so this will help. Maybe next they can also paint the house red white and blue, drape a large flag on the lawn, and put stickers on the doors and windows. I have a brain injury!

Hoping the same! That would be awesome!

Yeah, I guess I’m looking for more Snipperclips/Fast RMX/Steel Diver style smaller titles on day one. Even a 1-2 Switch or Nintendogs or whatever. I feel like Welcome Tour will be fun for 20 minutes and I will definitely never play Drag and Drive again.

It never really dawned on me to *not* care about trans people, but seeing them demonized and harassed by republicans happened to overlap with me becoming close friends with several trans people, so my heart only grew ten times bigger.

A bunch of us at IGN are trying to preorder from the same store in LA so we can make a lil launch party out of this overlapping nonsense.

Having played this (and having not enjoyed it) I’d be surprised if it had anything but barebones accessibility options at launch, too. I’m able bodied and I found it tiring. Not really sure who this is for.

Also I’m not even sure consoles are exempt under this so Nintendo/consumers might still be in trouble here. Who knows. Whole thing is a fucking mess.
