I agree with the sentiment of your comment, but I’m not sure I understand why it’s “sad” that science fiction is the medium in which this topic was explored? The genre/medium doesn’t matter so much, in my opinion — I’m just glad we’re exploring these issues and reflecting on them in some way. Otherwise, we’d all just…

This was a great read, but this:

I don’t have a position on this either way — I’m not even remotely educated enough on... well, _any_ aspect of the law, and if I can’t take an educated position, I’d rather get educated before taking one at all. Any chance you can share any information on the laws you’re referring to? I’d love to take a look at that…

I’d count that as an offensive goaltend, personally.

I’m iffy on the Beasley-to-Ntilikina “assist” because Beasley hit him directly in front of where the lane had just opened after the second defender started to shade toward Beasley, almost like he would’ve looked to close if Beasley had begun to rise for a three. That said, Ntilikina, after receiving the pass, still…

Serious question — do you know how much time/how many steps are required (both by the developer and the gatekeeper at each platform to which they submit the updates) to push an update to several platforms at once?

One more — can you define “dicking around” for me? I’m not even sure what it is you think they’re doing.

They’re patching it on the 12th. If the options are “let the few people lucky enough to have the gun drop dominate with a bugged weapon (until we patch it on the 12th)“ or “let everyone grab the gun so the playing field is leveled, and everyone will get to have a little fun melting people at an absurdly fast rate…

The inability to choose Crucible modes has been a major gripe on the DestinyTheGame sub-reddit since release day. There’s at least a handful of posts about it every week over there.

Only hardcore players complain about Destiny 2, eh? Have you been to the DestinyTheGame Reddit, recently?

100% this! The guy’s PTSD is so debilitating he’s working a fucking desk job! How the hell is he negatively affecting the “health and safety of the citizens and those passing through the town” when he’s working a fucking desk job?

The guy’s a hero in the truest sense of the word, and now he’s suffering, paying the…

This is incredibly fucked. I truly, truly hope the people who “unanimously” voted to terminate this guy suffer from nightmares in which their subconscious puts them in this guy’s shoes on that awful night, forcing them to see the shit that he had to see. I hope those nightmares ensure that they never have another good…

Destiny is dead.

“The word I’d use is...” ::writes eleven words::

In the future, it might make sense for you to build your own machine the next time around. A lot of the boutique gaming PC sellers, even the cheaper ones (and when I say “cheaper” I’m speaking relatively), markup their machines between $300-$750 (and sometimes even higher). I know there’s a market for folks who just…

“Sony basically shipped a faulty PU”

How did they “basically” ship a faulty “PU?” Source?

“...and frankly, they should even offer a free trade-in for the PU”

No, they shouldn’t. They don’t owe you anything. It’s been a year since the release of the first PS VR headset and it’s a good thing for Playstation VR enthusiasts that Sony is still invested in improving the platform moving forward.

Your entitlement…

This is a cop-out. Game piracy has been a thing for far longer than microtransactions and season passes (which are part of the pricing model that incentivizes game companies to release “unfinished” games, with content that would’ve been part of the main campaign a few years prior now being purposefully cut and then…

I feel similarly. No matter how you slice it, this issue is on Bungie — it’s been a known issue for a few weeks now — as whether “coiling” was the glitch they were keeping track of or not, it’s still a literal game-changer in terms of damage output, and it either should’ve been fixed before the prestige raid was…
