Okay, devil’s advocate here.

I get it, I really do. Disney has been pushing racial inclusion hardcore and doing a great job of it lately. My only real issue here is that this is one of like 3 Disney princesses who has a physical feature central to her character - Ariel is practically synonymous with redheads; I mean,…

The thing that strikes me here is the anti-union message is always the same, and it NEVER makes sense. I worked for Sam’s Club for a time and they had all the same nonsense - union dues, ‘uncertainty’, and who has your interested at heart, as if the business itself wasn’t literally giving all that and more to all of…

I don’t get the National Dex thing; personally, I feel that a lot of the games suffered from low-quality ‘filler’ Pokemon. Most of them were inferior versions of other Pokemon; I barely ever bothered with Pokemon which did not evolve.

They need to clean up the ‘types’ while they’re at it, too. Not just removing…

Yeah, I’m with you here - any state’s DFEH office is highly unlikely to pursue a simple investigative process in a court without reason to believe some sort of impropriety has occurred, much less make public statements to that effect.

Riot’s response makes it sound like they’re attempting to circumvent the exchange of…

But..... why? What was her motive?

Seriously, I don’t understand. The story doesn’t indicate that she was taking bribes to falsify these documents, so... why did she do so? 

Devil’s advocate here with two arguments.

1. The Constitutional concept of privacy has long since been established in law. Not really here to debate that, but why exactly do we think that EVERYTHING we do, say or purchase should fall under the blanket of privacy? I mean, while a comprehensive list of someone’s…

MTG Arena is still weird to me. Really all ‘card’ video games are odd to me; if I’m going to play a card game, it should be with cards. ESPECIALLY if I have to pay for the cards.

Sure, if it brings more people to the actual game then whatever I suppose, but it seems weird to split your audience. This is why Warhammer…

Hahaha, I saw the title of this article and immediately knew exactly what you were referring to - I still have my copy, in fact.

While I still prefer to read from paper, often printing guides out for games, at the time my purpose in buying the strategy guides was because I could not be certain I would have an internet…

Wonder when we will see the headlines for the lawsuit?

“Small GA town sued into oblivion for being blatantly racist, also concocting religious excuses in vain attempt to hide behind religious freedom.”

As an aside, since when did ‘Religious Freedom’ become a safety net for any illegal or depraved act? I mean, if we’re…

First off, I am surprised the Japanese care at all what outsiders think - they’ve always been rather disdainful and xenophobic towards other cultures and peoples.

In any event, I personally hate *ANY* mouth noises [aside from most speech]- especially while eating. Not sure why, but it really bugs me.

And the thing that gets me is how the hell is the car being in reverse the problem here? If he accelerated enough to have gone through a fucking wall coming out of a goddamn parking spot, what difference does the direction he’s going make? 

So... all the responses to my questions seem to be ‘nerds are social outcasts and they lash out’, but I just don’t see it. I mean, I know of one guy who fits that bill but... that Captain Marvel thing, right? This seems more like a group of coordinated trolls who just look for any opportunity, not a representation of…

Really? The lack of graphics is the single reason I have never been able to play it; staring at ASCII code is just not my idea of a good time.

This is amazing. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. 

You know, I would really love to know WHO these people are that spend all their time alienating and putting down ladies in/around nerd-related endeavors. I honestly have to say I am outright baffled by the behavior; like, who hurt you guys? Do you honestly NOT want any ladies in your social circles? 

See, we tend overall to be less aggressive.. I’ve been playing Civ since II so I guess the ‘smash everything’ strategy has long been old to me.

Might also help that we also play ‘island plates’. 

We’ve found some interesting ways around it, actually.

I spent one game funneling money and strategic resources into an AI my wife was at war with, for example. Nothing say ‘Murica quite like a proxy war. 

The more I think on it, the more I feel waste management should be a feature of the game - as societies get larger, our waste has been a real issue; from London’s outbreak of cholera due to human waste to today’s extensive use of landfills to manage growing quantities and turning to recycling to fight back.

Mechanicall…

‘Finish’ is a bit of a misnomer for how I like to play... well, games in general. I tend to just play and sometimes find the finish line behind me - this is almost always how Catan goes for me, realizing I won two turns ago and not caring enough to stop playing.

That being said, we play for as long as we can and use…

I imagine they decided to make ‘Co2' a sort of catch-all for pollution as a mechanical feature, rather than simply for realism. Nuclear material is still a highly volatile waste product, so it has to contribute... and I imagine they scrapped waste management overall, though I would have loved to see it incorporated. 

My biggest change between V and VI was that my games in V became very linear after a time - I found that my opening strategy worked for every leader, regardless of my endgame goals and that every city building nearly everything worked just fine. There was never a need to specialize my plan or cities. Civ VI changed…
