I think it's important to consider other points of view thoughtfully, and question your base assumptions. Sometimes, constructive and argumentative discussion can help with that, assuming both parties are informed and respectful.

Now, how often have you seen a disagreement in the comments section where both parties are informed, respectful, and working constructively to really understand the underlying issues?

Sometimes, it's best to just walk away, and blocklists are an excellent way to do so.

YouTubers really are the way to go. For me, there's no better way to see if I want to play a game than watching someone play it.

And for story games best played blind, I go by word of mouth.

Yep. There are people who can vote who were born after Portal came out XD

Possibly for breast cancer? Men can get breast cancer, it's just not as common

As soon as I got a steamdeck this year, I started kicking myself for every game I had bought on console T_T. I've got plenty of steam games, too, but I never had a particularly "good" gaming PC until the deck, just laptops

Oh yeah, that's definitely around the time when games started getting "big", especially with Halo.

We are living in great times for small studio and indie games!

I feel like every other news article I've read today has been some sort of layoff.

I'd say Star Trek tends to be "above average", especially when it considers how people might interact with technology in the future.

...though i do hope star trek's wrong about a near-apocalyptic world war coming before world peace/unification

It has a little more gameplay than past telltale games with its dispatch sections (a bit of strategy, deciding which heroes go on what calls), but otherwise you are right, it's a fancy choose your own adventure game. They have done some interesting things with superhero tropes so far (e.g., superheroes working out of a corporate call center), but it's a bit early to tell if they'll subvert some of my expectations for the "final boss".

As soon as this phone kicks the bucket, I'm getting grapheneOS. (Sadly, my current phone is too old to be supported)

I would be OK with losing out on random novelty hotdog-flavored chips.

That being said, you could get around this problem by focusing on staples (rice, flour, vegetables, salt, etc.) since the vast majority of folks don't really have a preference on this sort of thing, aside from allergies/gluten free.
