   I tried all of them untill Black & White (Gen V, I guess), but never got into it as with Gen 1 and 2. I guess it was a lack of wonder and discovery. I usually went back to the same pokemon I used in previous games. I recovered some of t

   [EDIT] Why is my parent being downvoted? It is a legitimate question, and we should try to answer it. Yet there are a lot of board and roleplaying games pushing their boundaries regarding theme and mechanics: You have boardgames exploring d

   Start by identifying your mouse grip[0]. That is the starting point for choosing a mouse. Unfortunately, if you prefer a claw or fingertip grip the only mice available are gaming mice, which may have "flashier" decorations. Claw a

   I agree. Darwinia was a shooter/strategy game set inside virtual world. Even Defcon is unconventional. A game about nuclear war and mutual assured destruction with a retro asthetic.

   OP here. I feel in the last years we're having a resurgence of management/simulation games. Just like Will Wright did his own SimCities, SimFarms, SimLifes, etc., new developers are returning to these themes. We need more of these

   That's hilarious! I know Tucker Max has popularized "fratire"[0]. I see all of his works as satire. But is OP's post serious? Or maybe the post is satire and the rest of his work is serious. I think the truth is that bot

    Yeah, I remember buying minecraft from all the 4chan viral, weeks after survival mode was announced (and infinite mode was to be released). Nowadays, I feel proud of it. Although Minecraft isn't "my kind of game", I feel like

    Automated moderators is a nice idea, but it has to be continually expanded, and with human help. If you start blanking out or replacing certain words (wordfiltering) the toxic users will quickly start transforming the existing slurs or even

    I think these kinds of events became "bigger" and more noticeable because of the evolution of the web. First people just pointed and laugh. Then, as more not-so-private information became available, people were able to figure out

    Yeah! Adults should stop doing that childish stuff, like oolouring, watching cartoons, reading fantasy and sci-fi, eating sweets, playing video games and bordgames and roleplaying games, cosplaying, laughing at toilet humour, collecting sta

    In fansubs it expected that the viewer sees all episodes in order (and why wouldn't he?), so the joke would be explained once. In commercial subs you can't make that assumption so, yeah, you explain it every time. But you could ge

    Some actually do that. Either have a note saying that they'll explain the reference later during the credits(like the "[0]" we do here) or preemptly give context in the intro or bumper[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.o

    I only read The Diamond Age. It's setting is grand, immaginative and full of detail. I was specially enamored with the concept of "ractors". But the last 100 pages left me extremelly dissapointed. Some plot threads go nowhere
