Online, or TES 6?

I've been stuck on Destiny for a while now. I have Witcher 3 and Dying Light sitting on the shelf waiting. I get hooked on the leveling up and collecting shit in Destiny...and then about the time I have it all leveled and collected, they put out a new DLC and there's a whole new collection. I may need help quitting.

Early access on Steam for Lego's procedural open world builder. The landscape and biomes are actually very beautiful.

Online? I didn't know there was a 6..

the fallible creature and i will be there on ps4....

Only rumours of 6 which will probably be scotched now Fall Out 4 has been announced. I might be up for online on PS4. Problem is I'm still waiting to play Witcher 3. So I don't know how much time I could commit.

Got Guacamelee: Super Turbo Edition on PS Plus. Was playing with the kid. It's even crazier than the original, which I also got on PS Plus, but for PS3, a few years ago, with the addition of all the DLC, costumes sporting abilities and new moves.

Someone on Polygon wrote a piece about the lack of non-whites in The Witcher 3

Clickbait. But I didn't click it!

(Not sure why anyone would care that a game made in 99% white Poland, in a setting based on medieval Europe which was more than 99% white features mostly white people anyway, but there you go.)

Looks like CDPR patched the cow exploit in the best way possible.

Someone at Polygon wrote a thing about the new rock band. This is exactly how not to write about video games. Also, it's a link to an archive site rather than Polygon, so it's click-safe. https://archive.is/j7x2t

A few of my more effervescent, more gregarious, more alive colleagues in game journalism are on stage "rocking out" to The Killers. We are on the rooftop of a pricey hotel in Santa Monica, at a press event organized by Rock Band 4's developer and publisher Harmonix.
I'm standing at a safe distance, drinking fizzy water, eating puff pastry canapes and chatting to another colleague about politics in the Philippines. I'm having an OK time.

I don't understand how nobody involved in the process of getting this article onto a website stopped for a minute and said: "You know what, this makes you look like an asshole. Maybe you shouldn't publish that."

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's basically:

Poland should retcon all of their mythology to make it fit American demographics because the Polish people, being white, are too privileged by their whiteness to understand how hurtful their history not following the same path of the US, you know, because we're going to forget that only 70 years ago 1 in 5 Poles were murdered by the Germans because historically Poles have been viewed by Western Europeans as scum, something to keep out of your country. You still see some Western European politics with this view.

That's not how SJWism works.

I'm not quite clear on what that has to do with social justice.

Are you both referring to the same article? It looks like one might refer to the rock band article and the other to the Witcher one, perhaps?

Oh and enemies shouldn't say hurtful things to Ciri when you play as her according to Feminist Frequency. Somehow everyone should be nicer to her than the abuse they constantly hurl at Geralt. Because showing discrimination towards a character you are playing in a game somehow encourages and reinforces that behaviour in you. Anita's reasoning as ever is utterly cuckoo.

Ah, yes. That would be it. I meant the rock band one.

Bring on E3.

The steam sale is on folks.

Picked up the Humongous game colletion for half price. My son is going to be having the time of his life this weekend.
