    Fallout 76 Is Getting Lootboxes, Because Of Course It Is

    It seems that Bethesda can’t go more than a couple of days without embarrassing themselves. Since it’s November 14th release date, Fallout 76 has had a pretty rough time. Middling review scores, broken gameplay and a mighty controversy regarding a bag have damaged this once beloved franchises reputation almost beyond repair. At least it wouldn’t have…

    The Reaction To Life is Strange 2 Has Been Ridiculous

    The first episode of Life is Strange 2 took a particularly honest view of racism and racial issues. The reaction to it has mainly been positive.

    Previously we looked at plain toast, microwave burritos, and how Destiny 2‘s Guardians are basically Mussolini with blue mohawks. It was a grand old adventure, aside from all the brain aneurysms. This time, we go into detail about FashQuest‘s unfortunate portrayal of its alien races. If the idea that art created by humans might reasonably serve as…

    One of Stardew Valley’s Bachelorettes is Emotionally Abusive and that’s not Okay

    Abigail’s plotline in Stardew Valley begins rather innocuously. Abigail is nice and quirky. As you befriend her you play video games together, and play instruments in the afternoon rain.
