Nothing but respect for the guy who makes these decisions. I haven’t played Rust myself, but I love reading people’s reactions to not being able to choose things about their avatar. Too many people seem to think gaming is all about player choice, and I like it when games restrict that in interesting ways.

No, but I don’t see why I should have the read the books for the central events and characters of the game to make sense. That actually seems like really bad game design.

Yes, and London cab drivers literally have their brains enlarge to memorize routes. Brains are not static. Boys are better at “spatial relations” because we teach that shit to them since they are very young. There has been studies showing people literally treat their infants differently based on sex. Sorry, but most…

Oh I’m sorry. What with the tax rate that’s plummeted since they were growing up that solely helps people with money, that has to be tough!

Why shouldn’t it be? I see managers, store managers, area managers, etc... The same goes for every convenience chain.

“Hasta la beep boop”

Have you read the Injustice tie-in comics? Because Alfred’s moments alone make those worth it.

Bullshit semantics police— bright refers to acidity/freshness

What a weird biography of a man I had no interest in learning about, but greatly fascinated me when reading about him. Really good long read Shaun and totally unexpected from Deadspin. You briefly mention Oscar Bonavena. He’s someone who also had an interesting life that would make a great long read.

I know you’re a troll, but speaking as an artist, I’m still picturing you at the bottom of a well right now.

Decent run, might replay

Just saw him the other day. He was hanging out with the little girl from Bridge to Terabithia. Seemed like they were having a killer time.

I like the absolutism present in the use of “druggies” as an invective for those who choose to partake of controlled substances.

Each issue should be two pages; they find out about a problem, a giant hand is shown squashing something.
