That’s a strawman. Atlus doesn’t have to ban all streaming to control its IP. How is setting a cutoff point for streamers any different from another studio releasing the first level of a game for free, or a publisher releasing the first chapter of a new novel, or a movie studio releasing five minutes of footage from a…

So all of you guys who agree with Atlus would give up on playing an RPG you’re interested in if you could watch a stream of it? Or are you basing that opinion on how you assume other people are?

So do we start hitting movie reviewers with content strikes for spoiling the endings of movies/shows in their reviews or...

That’s false equivalence. You wrong assume that every gamer care about gameplay being #1. Some of us love a game that put storytelling in interesting ways at the top. Story telling that gets player to feel invested in the characters through interaction and active participation. It’s the small details and the…

The majority of people who watch entire games on lets plays weren’t going to buy the game in the first place.

If it’s more fun to watch a game than make it, the devs are probably in the wrong medium.

The NIH is a major leading funder, not just of US research but of global research. I am a research administrator in Spain and it funds some of my investigators’ work, for fuck’s sake. Even the EU is not anywhere near as invested in global biomedical work, which is inherently international. These motherfuckers just…

Yeah, I was pretty astounded by that. Who needs cancer research, though? We’ll all die in a preventable industrial accident when all them factory jobs come back to us.

PBS’s children’s programming was actually created with the intent of serving households where the children could not attend things like daycare or pre-K. That was the POINT of it. It was designed to serve the households that were most at risk of not getting sufficient educational material. If you’re a single mom or a…

What if the coal miner and the single mom don’t want to subsidize a projected $100 million in travel costs for the President to play golf at Mar-A-Lago?

He wants to gut the NIH, which is a powerhouse of funding for biological and medical research. It’s bad enough that the lingering effects of xenophobia is going to drive away talented international researchers, but if he does this, it’s basically game over for our country’s continued prosperity.

“When you start looking at places that we reduce spending, one of the questions we asked was can we really continue to ask a coal miner in West Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to pay for these programs? The answer was no. We can ask them to pay for defense, and we will, but we can’t ask them to continue to pay for…

Why the fuck does Pence always look like he’s about to introduce legislation to outlaw the X-Men?

the yearly budget for meals on wheels = one trip to mar a lago

What kind of monster takes money away from Meals on Wheels?

WTF kind of parent refuses- FOR THE PERSON CARRYING THE BABY - to not have testing done, especially when there are clear indications of trouble? It strikes me as incredibly selfish.

Is it just me or has he lost A LOT of weight. Either way, he looks great!

John Goodman is a lot more flexible than I’d expected he’d be.

Honestly, I feel like moral outrage at such a thing could be better directed elsewhere. Its not like public money is funding this. They clearly have a target demographic, and, I guess, its not women. Meh.

If you are human and possess X/Y-Chromosome pairs, you are male regardless of any surgery, drug-therapy, makeup, attire, personal belief/feeling -OR- politics. It’s simply SCIENCE!!
