Unfortunately homestuck is kind of good

It's fun when you get a certain Feeling about an artist's style, and are immediately able to confirm it by scrolling back through their archive and watching their work transform by tiny increments into Homestuck.

crash bandicoot is another game that the entire games industry and usamerican gamers will talk of with rhapsodic love constantly and then you see one (1) frame of it and its 1930s racist

speaking of overwatch i hate the popular truism that it fucked up by focusing the balance too much on the competitive scene. as someone who was medianly invested in that competitive scene, they absolutely did not balance around it and furthermore if they actually had the game would have been better
