Imagine, doing something so impressive it's deemed worthy of being on Sky News, only for the presenter at the end to laugh at you and tell you to go outside? Embarrassing behaviour honestly.

It is the Year of Our Lord 2024 and @SkyNews is still telling people who play video games to go outside and get some fresh air, notably on the same day they’re praising a 16-year-old darts player

I went on a date on Saturday with a guy who casually liked games. He went on a rant about how IGN only ever reviewed games a 7 and I said that's simply not true. He could not let it go, he kept repeating random untrue things about reviews. How has this happened to me.

But really this is still the best skills screen in any game. I will not back down in this fight. It's thematic, it's pretty, it sounded GREAT when you scrolled AND when you unlocked something new, it looks badass and feels like your DESTINY to become skilled. Nothing comes close

Correct me if I'm wrong, please really do. But as far as I can think Deathloop is the only triple-A videogame where the protagonist AND antagonist are black. Moreover, they just happen to be black. It's not their character nor stereotype, they just ARE. That's massive right?

@stevesaylor Absolutely. It gives you a lot more room to fail, try new things, and leave quests or enemies behind if you're not quite literally or mentally ready for them yet. It's hard as nails, but it's definitely easier to get into than Dark Souls for example.
