Civ 6.

Lydia never did approve of my taste in literature.

TL;DR

I’ve tried and tried every few years to get back into anime, but I’ve also found the ‘fanservice’ more and more off-putting every time I go back. It never seems to evolve or change as the years go by... if anything, it keeps getting worse and worse.

It makes you a ‘scalie’ (An actual term. I promise I didn’t make it up!)

A few years ago I was working at Bioware, and during an all-hands meeting they were announcing to employees what the next few projects were going to be. There was much teasing and hint-dropping during the speeches leading up to the announcement, and just before the slate was announced, I called out from the crowd:…

Next thing you know, we’ll be allowing gender-benders in the wrong bathrooms!

And it took 12 to years to make! Boyhood!

Did you know it took 12 years to make? Boyhood! It took 12 years to make!

It took 12 years to make!

I want to star you more. I want to give you one-thousand nine-hundred and eighty-four stars.

I played DAI for 90 hours and beat it. I only ever picked it up once, and never touched it again. My feelings for the game are very similar to my feelings about Mass Effect 3: good beats here and there, and the cast of characters are mostly strong, but the story is so laughably bad that I can’t even think about it…

Obama was the idealism candidate, yes, but he also had a lot more hype prior to the election, and was arguably more charismatic and politically deft on the stump. Bernie made it as far as he did on the momentum of his ideas and his convictions, not on his charisma.

A cynical read of why it might be possible for Bernie to do better against a general election candidate than Clinton (against which he lost) would be to look at how the two candidates supporters have framed themselves. During the primary, Bernie was associated with idealism, while Clinton was associated with…

I chuckled at the size of the NSFW warning next to the pictures. I have to say: it was rather flaccid and difficult to find. Not very effective. The text was a bit small, much like Trumps hands.

I’m sorry for what happened to your friend. No one should have to go through that, and there’s nothing that can be said that could ever possibly capture in words how horrible that must have been.

Build Chinese walls great again!

So if our modern justice system placed a lineup of convicted pedophiles and rapists in front of you, you’d happy pull the trigger? Let’s say, eight men and two women, of various ages. You don’t know exactly what their crimes are, or the circumstances of their conviction, all you know is that they’ve in fact been…

You did actually listen to what she said in that video you linked to, yes?

On this issue of forcing: I just spent a good deal of my Saturday looking up what you’re talking about. First of all: Anita, just like any human being who is a member of UN participating state, has the right to speak at UN functions. She isn’t a policy maker, but she was invited, and she spoke for barely more than a…
