Sorry, I’m going to continue stacking plates wherever there’s too much plate and too little table.

Exactly, if one of these men used the podium to speechify, the article would be: “Note to Hollywood Men, for just 3 hours on one night, it was your time to shut up and listen, but you couldn’t do it”.

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

The way America is currently trying to reckon with its unspoken realities of abuses of power against racial, sexual and gender minorities…I wish gamers would have that sort of community soul seeking endeavor. Painful and violent and with gnashing of teeth though it may be, I think we owe it to ourselves and the world…

Nope. Oliver brought up harassment allegations against Hoffman while they were discussing a movie centered around harassment allegations. It’s literally the perfect time to ask Hoffman about them.

Just to plug for NoClip but they are doing the lord’s work as far as I’m concerned. The doc on Final Fantasy 14, Doom and Witcher 3 was life changing. I really hope Danny and crew can keep digging up interesting stories to tell about all this behind the scenes stuff we never get to hear about.

CJHN isn’t a jock, he’s a bro. And quite clearly has no idea what it’s like to have low self-esteem. More like the dude maybe kind of sort of wonders occasionally if he might not be all that, but ultimately always comes to the conclusion that of course he is.

The only people that loot boxes etc... ‘prey’ on are those who are incapable of delaying their own gratification.

Actually we probably have quite a bit in common. Addiction, abuse, etc. we could probably have some great conversations. I appreciate the well expressed and thought out reply. If anything I use this outlet to engage others who may not have the same world view as I do, talk about it, sometimes argue about it, but…

“I am not bothered in the slightest by the loot box situation,”

I have no idea what your deal is.

The price has remained the same but what has changed is:

I’ll leapfrog here to say that there’s a line between advocacy and something else. Battlefront II devs were talking about receiving death threats today on Twitter. I get that folks are upset... I’ve been pretty vocal too... but I want to use this as a general opportunity to remind folks to approach these issues…

Don’t buy the game.

Worker and consumer rights are absolutely moral issues, largely because compensation for labor and the cost of goods (at least under capitalism) is fundamentally exploitative in execution. Usually, we roll with it and that’s fine. For instance, I don’t have a problem giving my guy at the bodega a buck for a soda even…

Okay, some further editorial.

Loot crates have always been a moral issue that the industry (publishers, devs, journalists, influencers, and whoever else) has mostly ignore or dismissed and that’s incredibly screwed up. Even cosmetic focused crates, which don’t affect gameplay, use specific audio/visual cues and…

In 2017 it’s about that Grey Poupon, that Evian, that TED Talk.

First, fuck this woman—she’s not “transitioning” to black, she’s playing dress up as a minstrel show character. This is a caricature of blackness that she fosters in her own head.
