This sounds like a great idea for an indie game. Seriously.

Fascinating. I’m going to go buy this immediately. I don’t know that there’s ever been anything like it before, and certainly not from the mainstream.

Awesome! We should hang out. ;)

“Trumped up trickle-down” economics. A groaner if ever I’ve heard one. My hopes for Hillary are not high.

Thank God for normal joysticks in portable mode. The c-nub on the 3ds is an abomination, and I replaced mine with a psp joystick.

Welcome to the joke.

This is the console everyone said the Wii U should’ve been. A combination of tablet, console, and handheld. As someone who is tired of playing monster hunter on the 3DS, I am totally on board.

I’m sure that eventually it will literally be the only way forward. But it’s going to be a painful, painful process to realize it.

Every time I think Trump can’t sink any lower than the piece of human garbage he is, he shows me that there’s actually a sewer beneath whatever midden-heap he’s currently in. Or a desecrated Indian burial ground. Or some damned thing. How can one man be so vile? If it weren’t for all the people he hurts, I would pity…

Within the past week, national polling has shifted several points because of exactly this sort of thing. It seems someone, somewhere, does care.

In my opinion, it seems to me that you have to make this the default option with an opt-out. If I’m about to hit someone and I decide to swerve to hit a tree instead, possibly killing myself, that’s my choice. But by even making the choice to drive a self-driving car, I have already taken a huge step to make the road…

My life begins today!

Jesus God, are you really saying reporters should go back on their word to keep something confidential for a temporary gain? This is one of the worst ideas ever. You’re like a military commander saying we should fire on troops under a white flag, because this time we “really really need to” without any thought to the…

That’s absolutely legit.

That’s fair. I wasn’t including online interactions. Bless you for saying “turn the internet off” instead of “immediately disconnect if invaded, wasting someone’s time and resources.”

Better perhaps to say that they *can* negate skill. Instead of skill as we think of it usually, these games are all about risk management. On some level it’s still gambling. If you’re familiar with blood bowl, check out my miracle at reikland video on YouTube.

It’s not about being too cool for school, it’s about getting tired of people character assassinating a game instead of understanding it. I beat more than half the bosses in the souls games on the first try, and it wasn’t because I’m some super elite gamer, it’s because I paid close attention while playing. The idea…

Point of order: souls isn’t sadistic. It has like six unfair moments across three games. It does however expect you to pay attention to it and respect it. The greatest souls skill of all is probably the ability to not just look, but see.

I used to feel the same way, but I work in justice now, and the data just don’t seem to back up that kind of deterrence based model, despite seeming as though it should work. Based on the opinions of some of the people I’ve spoken to, that is probably because a lot of criminals lack the upbringing to coldly do a cost…

It’s easy to underestimate the amount of money an outage like this costs a company. The last place I worked, an hour of server outage would probably cost us about half a million dollars. I seem to remember a lot of the companies affected also had to offer a bunch of free time to their subscribers to make up for the…
