I'm surprised so many people read that character in Zelda as trans and not as a "haha cross dressing to get into Gerudo Town, isn't it funny when men wear women's clothes" joke. Did I miss something there?

It was fan service.

Yes, and Japanese/lots of western media still does lazy cross dressing jokes. Hell, that's exactly what Link does. In-context that's how I read the character, especially the "wind blows and reveals a beard" part.

Sorry for bringing it back up, I didn't realize how many pages back it was. I was just wondering if I'd missed something and read the scene totally wrong.

They've spent a year to announce a new system still with no games, and have even gone to the trouble of cancelling more games so that the new system will have even less to play.

I guess it's great if you have a slot in the entertainment center not being used up but I think a VCR would be more useful.

I bought an Xbox One when there was a good deal a while back and have regretted it since. I played Titanfall 2, but since then, there's been nothing. It gets even less use than my PS4.

It's kind of difficult to overstate just how much Microsoft botched everything surrounding the XBOX One. I own a PS4 but I would have preferred the XB to have been more successful because competition is good for the industry.

You could have played Titanfall 2 on your PS4.

I just got a PS4 and I am getting a Switch at the end of the summer and I love and use all of my consoles regularly, including my 360, Ps2, Dreamcast, Genesis and NES. Gaming ... is good.

True, but all my friends were playing it on Xbox, and I figured if I'm gonna play it, I'll play with friends. I loved the game, but they just didn't stick with it, and random matchmaking just ain't the same. Maybe I'll use it to play Halo 5 or something at some point.

If Tomb Raider remained an XB exclusive I don't know what I would have done. To see Lara Croft's flowing tresses rendered with substandard hardware... unacceptable.

I have been thinking about picking Halo 5 back up again. The multiplayer is actually fun because it's not a twitch shooter where one shot is all that is needed to kill someone.

I'm not much for PvP, but I probably dumped a hundred hours or more into Firefight back in ODST and Reach. My biggest disappointment with 4 was that they axed it.

Fights were had over Four Swords Adventures. Friendships shattered. Dreams destroyed.

I was with three other friends playing it, and one of them did basically nothing but throw people into pits. Punches were thrown.

I did, however, manage to get three other people in my college dorm to play through Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with me, and that was a loving blast. I haven't played any of the other Crystal Chronicles games, but the first one was really fun with four people, especially when people started just accidentally doing spell combos and blowing everything up and not even knowing how.

I used to post on the totally-not-a-fyad-knock-off on FacePunch forums. Even there people kept talking about SA with this dread like if you die on the forums you die irl, you know what I'm saying. So I went to check it out and the paywall was up that nobody explained to me so I thought "what the gently caress is this poo poo" and left.

I got into SA from the front page. Like, I had gaming friends in first college who would share front page articles and stuff. After awhile of following that, I mentioned a front page article to one of them, and they were like "oh, I don't even look at the front page anymore, I just hang out on the forums". So of course I looked into that. Now I haven't looked at the front page in years.

ASK ME ABOUT MY OPINIONS ON CANCEL CULTURE
Hey what's the going price for a regular PS4 these days?

I gave mine to a friend a while back and he is saying at this point he'd just like to buy it from me because he plays it all the time and I forgot I even gave it to him.

It's the original style and has one normal controller.
As far as games it has bloodborne and until dawn and maybe a few smaller titles.

Craigslist and amazon are giving me wildly different numbers so I have no idea what to charge him.
