It’s because the people making the predictions of its failure have been rating success on specs and other things on a broad market, as opposed to specific segment targeting and brand loyalty. Sony and Microsoft are trying to design, arguably, Mercedes and Lexus-priced game consoles, while Nintendo is making a Honda.…

Those founders are long gone, taken over by executives who want to maximize profit.

The same thing happened to Hewlett-Packard.  One the founders left, the executives that took that company over made the company a shell of its former self.

First off, props on trying to achieve a balanced lifestyle.

This weekend is for trying out a fresh corn risotto recipe (and likely improvising some accompaniments from the csa share), working on working out again (easy does it, couch potato, I say to myself), and, I think, finally starting Nioh. 

Anybody satisfied with America as it currently is isn’t being a good American.

I know I can’t give you guys too much flack since I live in what is basically now an anti-science theocratic conservative dystopia (a.k.a. Brazil), but damn, AOC is a treasure and you should back her up as much as possible. Also, stop voting for all of those congressists, including the democrats. Making a black list…

“STD is SJW dumpster fire anyway”

As good as early GoT was, I don’t see myself ever wanting to re-visit that bleak world. The drama was compelling, but the shows I re-watch need to have characters I enjoy seeing again — like good friends. So, it will probably continue to be Star Trek re-runs while GoT drifts further back into my memory.

Donald Trump and his weaponization of stupidity and fear is the greatest threat this country has faced in modern times.

There was a wise man that said: Everything Trump touches dies. If you want me to feel any sympathy, no I don’t. I do find it ironic that of all the people that were and remain in Trump’s orbit that caught this virus the one that died was black. God either has a real twisted sense of humor or the adage “all skin folk,…

she's cosplaying, not going on a date. The only people implying that are some dudes on the internet who have decided that a woman existing in a public space is therefore clearly there to display herself to potential mates. I'll say it again: COSPLAY. She is literally there to misrepresent her identity.

If your sentence is ever going to start with "Not to be that guy but..." or " Not to be sexist but..." or "Not to be racist but...", then just stop right there and rethink your life choices.

There's so many layers to this I almost want to make it a research project. The multiple assumptions and depth of ignorance behind your questions and assertions is fascinating.

"Wait, you don't have big boobs AND you're not actually [insert large-breasted anime character here]?! False advertising!"

She's a cosplayer. They're like exhibits in museums: great to look at, but you can't touch them.

If the guy is going back to her place because of her boobs then he either A) Would have been staring at them all day and could tell, up close, that they were fake, or B) Deserves it.

You can't see me, but I'm rolling my eyes so hard it's physically painful

She's not for sale, so it's not advertising. The only thing she's showcasing is her (fantastic) cosplaying skills.

you are TOTALLY 'that guy'.
