This is FFVI. AKA the best Final Fantasy.

They’re not asking for refunds, its a trolling tactic - donate money and yank it back so the entertainer has to pay a fee. It’s like if you could SWAT someone’s bank account.

This is the result of the normalization of violence against your political opponents that the #resistence crowd has been nurturing for months, assisted by the media and celebrities (Kathy Griffin included). Eventually punching “nazis” in the face as a form of protest just doesn’t do it for someone anymore. This is the…

Disclaimer: I’m obviously not blaming Kathy Griffin for this.

Yes and no. But the reason they are stupid is they are written laws. They need to apply in multiple contexts. This is legal because its free speech. If you aren’t going after a specific person and their basic rights (in this case to exist and practice a religion they see fit), then your right to say crazy stuff isn’t…

It’s interesting but sad that this guy is completely oblivious to the fact that he himself has been radicalized. Threatening to kill yourself for a cause and leave your kids as orphans, calling for the murder of people of a different religion, putting your anger and your cause over everything precious in your…

The laws originally allowed for much easier arrests for incitement, and were often used to go after leftists and minorities, because until 1969, the Supreme Court’s caselaw said that it was against the first Amendment to advocate for unlawful behavior (meaning you could constitutionally be arrested for advocating for…

No, it’s a good law. Otherwise you could hold people accountable for inadvertent consequences from anything hyperbolic.

Nah. Inciting violence in general is perfectly legal. It has to be inciting “imminent” violence in order for it to be against the law.

By the way - what can be frustrating for customers is the feeling that they’re just shouting into the void. Pick one, and only one place and slap a “We usually read whatever you post here (though we don’t usually reply)!” sign on it. Pick something easy to access and well-understood, like twitter, or a bulletin board…

I do think that there’s a difference between “dialogue” and “abuse” though, and gamers quite frequently cross the line into the latter while trying to do the former.

That s why complaining works people.

I don’t like Witcher 3.

Maybe I’m old fashioned but I prefer when politicians take the time to carefully craft their lies

I’ll assume you’re commenting in good faith despite your use of an awful buzzword like “identity politics,” so consider this: Lots of girls are taught that video games and game development are for men. Girls Make Games is an institution designed to teach girls that hey, they can play and make video games too, which…

Wow do I hate gamers like this. I know there are bad apples in every kind of hobby/fandom/whatever, but man oh man is this particular brand of bullshit getting way too common for my liking.

I can’t find a copy of this game anywhere near me, and Amazon says they won’t ship until March. I didn’t realize this game would be so difficult to get a hold of.

Disagree: the Radical Reconstruction needed to last 50 years. Like with West Germany after WWII.

What is it with the “Southern Smirk”?

It would be the most bitter beer ever.
