But the thing is, Joyce only agreed to dinner because Hopper said it was just a casual thing, and not the serious date Hopper was imagining.
She should have apologized for standing him up, but he was almost acting like an abusive boyfriend who got mad that Joyce was spending time with other men.

It’s weird, in the Gilead that season 1+2 built up there was no way that June would get to constantly act out. But here she is getting into fights, yelling, making faces in a propaganda video, and it seems like nobody notices.

Imagine if Kotaku only talked about video games when something bad happened, would that be fun in the long run?

You are vastly vastly overestimating how much money the average streamer makes. First of all the majority of streamers probably have below 10 average viewers, they make zero money from twitch. Even when you take full time streamers who do it as a job, the majority of them make enough to live on, but they are in no way…

It’s odd, Blizzard has been involved with eSports for a long time now, but they are consistently across all their games very slow in putting out balance patches, even though the players keep saying that changes are needed.

Systematic crunch doesn’t actually help much, turns out that people don’t do their best work fueled on energy drinks and pizza while working through the night. If the physical and mental health of your workers suffers, then you won’t actually gain anything since they will be working much less effectively.

The thing to remember is that everything that happened before the first episode has left Veronica a rather bitter and untrusting person with a desire to make someone pay, there are several times where she is outright mean to people who don’t deserve it.
I think that is part of what makes the show so great, Veronica is…

I much preferred season two. For one I never really liked Lilly as a character, and so I was more interested in who killed a bus full of kids than who killed an unlikable character. Also, season two has less Duncan and more Dick.

The average eSport player is probably in their early 20's, also in europe it is common for people to be allowed to drink beer when they turn 16.

Look at it from David’s perspective, he sacrificed everything to help future Syd, and then after he finally defeated the villain, current Syd tried to kill him. He figured (rightfully so) that she was under the control of the shadowking.
Changing her memories were wrong, but he did it out of ignorance and not malicious…

This makes me miss LXD, popping and other “street” dance styles are just so cool to watch.

It’s frustrating to once again see the kids knock it out of the park by being funny and interesting, only to get showed aside by the weekly Jack plotline.

The character just isn’t that interesting, and I suspect that the show wouldn’t have been cancelled if the showrunners realized that the kids were the real stars.

Planescape Torment is the best video game ever made, i’m happy that more people get a chance to play it.

That is a bit like saying that you are out of luck if you get a job and don’t end up as the CEO of a billion dollar company.

There are thousands of full time streamers whose viewership are in the hundreds, they may not get any articles written about them, but they stream for a living and manage to live a comfortable…

I know that I’m in the minority, but I really wish these figures had less articulation.
Figures just don’t look right when their arms and legs have these massive round joints because they need to be able to bend. I would rather have a great looking figure in a good pose, rather than an ugly one that can be posed.

I was hoping that it would be a bunch of new stories, so I was a little disappointed to learn that I had already read them all. But I might just get it anyway, Chiang is a great writer.

It varies from person to person how much they watch. This is entertainment the same way that watching sport, a movie or tv show is. So some people will tune in for a few minutes, other will stay the whole time.
The thing that makes streaming different is that the streamer is just as important as the game they can make…

It’s a beautiful game and rather fun to play.

It is always a little strange when some people feel the need to explain that wrestling is fake. The vast majority of media we consume is fictional, pro wrestlers pretending that what they do isn’t scripted is the same as people in the Avengers movies pretending that what they do is real.

Twitch streaming is probably not an option for most players. Streaming is certainly easier than being a pro player, but it is still hard work and a full time job.
Streaming is in many ways as competitive as pro gaming, just because you want to succeed doesn’t mean that you will, and streaming probably isn’t a…
