I agree. This attitude of protecting her from being “needlessly” hurt strikes me as pretty chauvinist, actually. She doesn’t need to be protected from emotional pain (by her serial cheater boyfriend, of all people), she needs to be given all the information so she can make her own choices about her relationship and…

Yeah, I’m gonna be cancelling my Prime membership. The more I think about it, the less I want to be buying shit from Amazon. I would rather go to actual stores in my city and pay more for the same stuff. Because then at least my money is supporting local businesses (or at least, local franchises of corporate chains),…

My main interest in games is in being challenged. I like figuring out systems, mastering mechanics, and building up skill to overcome obstacles that seem impossible at first. I also like discovering and being surprised, so I tend to also like games that don’t explain everything right off the bat. The satisfaction and…

“This is an opportunity for Senators to put partisanship aside and consider his legal qualifications with the fairness, respect, and seriousness that a Supreme Court nomination ought to command.”

Alternatively, if people don’t like her responses, they can stop reading and following her tweets. 

Right. How many of the screaming man-children that crusaded for her firing deserve to lose their jobs for the shit THEY talk online? 

It is scary. Unfortunately, conservatives have been fighting hard for the right of businesses to refuse service based on personal beliefs. They set the precedent, and now we all have to live with it.

Death Stranding: Walking Simulator confirmed.

I like the concept in theory, but the implementation sucks. I still don’t understand how the game matched up players, because any time I got invaded it was always by someone who could basically one-shot me and who was nearly impervious to my attacks, and not because they were cheating but because they had crazy gear…

Cops who lie in their reports should be thrown in prison.

It wouldn’t be so bad if everyone in the public zone could actually contribute to the EP. But thanks to the power level progression of the waves, there’s a good chance that half the strangers in the zone with you will be literally useless halfway through the run.

For me, the Stefano fight pales in comparison to the bit at the start of Chapter 10. Playing on Nightmare, and handling everything pretty easily up to that point, THAT fight seemed legitimately impossible for me based on the supplies and ammo I had available. I think it may literally be the first time I ever enabled…

Unfortunately, there’s no sense trying to control or regulate drugs because criminals and addicts will find ways to get ahold of them anyway!

This strikes me as a bit weird, I’ve never done and don’t plan on starting.

These kinds of soccer riots aren’t exactly rare, either.

Kinda ironic, considering that one of the major themes of the books AND games is Geralt constantly having to deal with being treated as a sub-human outsider, often mistrusted and despised even by the people who wind up needing his help. Although his skin color is white, I’d say a room full of writers from varying…

Ugh, prequels. I’m completely uninterested in having any of Marston’s backstory filled in. His shady past, referenced but never spelled out, worked perfectly for his character. Would have much rather seen a completely new, unrelated adventure.

I don’t think videogames are a useful comparison, because video game characters aren’t even remotely convincing as conscious beings.

Westworld robots are capable of pretty perfectly simulating humanity. Most people could interact with one at length and not know whether it was a person or a robot. So, you can argue the philosophical point that they don’t possess the same kind of consciousness that humans do. Buuut if you are capable of killing and…

I don’t know, Kellyanne. If your president grabs one pussy, or two pussies, has he grabbed ALL pussies? Think about THAT.
