I think it is an obvious sign of crapness, or at the very least laziness, to use tools to alter things that are meant to portray reality.

Those statements by the designer are just straight up not true. I thought she was talking about a sequel until I clicked the link. You play as Ellie twice. Once is when Joel gets hurt saving Ellie and she needs to find him food medicine (hijinx ensue). Then, at the end of the level, shocker, she gets cornered and…

Ellie didn't have the choice though. That was taken away from her by Joel. He also lied to her in the end.

"Neonakis railed against the Times review of the game, which singled out another male character Joel as the story's star but Neonakis says that the real protagonist is Ellie, who begins stereotypical but blossoms into much more."

I mean, that wasn't what I was saying, but now you've put it out there, it's what I'm going to be saying.

I feel like there's such a lack of empathy it's turned into dehumanization of the person on the other side of the phone line/customer service desk/cash register.

I completely agree with this. I think we go really overboard a lot with how quickly we want everything resolved now now now now now! There's no empathy that perhaps just as you are having a bad day so is someone else. Or perhaps that person is having an even worse day.

I do wonder if he ever got out of fights in the playground by telling people his mum is the Fendahl Core.

Should be playing this

The whole "No one should be silenced, not even bigots" argument is such a coward's way out attempt to endorse bigotry without REALLY endorsing it. If you hate gays just man up and say it, don't use this faux-intellectual argument to do so.

Yeah, hideously irresponsible pretty much covers it. Not to mention "liger" breeds tend to have tons and tons of health problems.

Isn't this hideously irresponsible, considering how few tigers and lions there are, to encourage this sort of thing?

He cheated with Tori. Why wouldn't he cheat on Tori? Is this really a surprise to anyone? He cheated on his previous wife when they were in the middle of adopting a baby and she ended up adopting as a single mom because he refused to go through with the adoption. What a guy. I'd definitely marry and have four children…

My darling Lindy,

To continue in the spirit of the original trilogy, the new books will be about underappreciated ghost writer Dieter Lagerfield who is hired to write the 4th book in a series after the original writer passes away. In doing so, Dieter becomes sexually irresistable to a parade of women who are really impressed with his…

Fine. It's not a "big deal". I am clearly out of the loop on what people are doing with kids. It just creeps me out. It has nothing to do with fat or thin. It's more so that part of being a kid is just looking crazy sometimes. I guess it surprised me that a stray eyebrow hair would be removed from a photo of a bab…

Wait. What? You think it's awful to wax baby brows (it is), but you Photoshop the kid's pics? For what purpose? Isn't the idea of a photo to show... what your child looks like? Not a sanitized image of what you want your child to look like?
