Those are all great. Those will all cost money though. You want real moderation? You want real controls over what is on Steam? Then developers and publishers will need to pay thousands of dollars, up front, for some sort of certification program not unlike a console release. Ultimately that would mean that many…

Uhhh but racism fit in exactly with Conan’s world. Robert E. Howard was an out and out racist, even for his time in the 1930's when most of Conan was written. Pretty much every evil guy has dark skin (and the darker the skin, the more evil they are), every innocent maiden is lily white and non-European cultures are…

Ultimately, this is the only way they can do this correctly. There are too many “games” being submitted for them to be the content police. The only way to fix this is for Steam to become much more of a closed system, where either developers pay large fees ($5,000+ per game) for Valve to test the game at launch for…

You forgot the dick joke at the end.

(Perhaps) Controversial opinion: these presidential visits were always dumb bits of political theater designed to prop up the current president. The president (whoever they were at the time) gives a dumb speech about overcoming adversity or some shit, he shakes some hands and gets to look good with a probably now…

Given that the old bitch lived to be angry, I guess you could call them that.

It was Mountain Dew. But yeah.

There hasn’t been a string of expletives like that since my cousin brought her black boyfriend to Thanksgiving dinner and my great aunt decided to speak her mind about it. Ah that old southern charm.

It’s also illegal in California. Anything that can throw flames more than 10 ft is considered a flamethrower in California. Musk’s “flamethrower” doesn’t appear to extend past about five feet.

I mean, when it works it’s great. Your opponent is pinned down on the mat, he’s probably not feeling too great, and as that KO-tap out clip shows, sometimes just that is enough to get fighters to give up. The downsides are that you can hurt yourself, or get trapped in a choke hold by savvy opponents and that it takes…

I mean, it’s just like the flamethrowers you use to burn weeds, it’s basically just this thing:

Not surprised by this at all. Generally speaking, when a product is bad the only company liable for it is the manufacturer unless Amazon knew the devices were faulty or dangerous and knowingly sold them anyway, since Amazon doesn’t make the hoverboards they aren’t liable. Amazon actually went above and beyond its…

The best part is that it would be easy to tell who is smart enough to try to find out more and who just took the words on the account at face value. Anybody who clicks the link just rolls their eyes at the Rickroll, while the idiots react with either “OMG SJW chicken!” or “#SaveTheChickens”.

As I mentioned, you can kill civilians in GTA...but there’s no narrative reward for that. The game doesn’t want you to kill civilians, hell it actively penalizes you for doing so by sending the cops, and eventually the national guard, after you. Active Shooter, on the other hand, tasks you with murdering civilians,…

I guess you missed the point. Yes, video games are often violent, but they’re generally placed into a clearly fictional space in which you have a narrative justification for the violence. Certain games, like GTA, allow you to kill civilians if you like, but their narrative structure has you pulling off heists and (as…

Some of them are more brown than blue...but from my understanding, the really good shit is blue. I’m not a participant, quite frankly my brain is fucked up enough without hallucinogens, but I hang out in certain crowds that grow and enjoy them in the Pacific NW; I could see Cirque du Soleil resulting in a bad trip…

Surprisingly common:

Simple tweet to start some shit “Buffalo Wild Wings has decided to source all of our wings from here on out from organic, local, cage free chicken farms. You can find out more about our new chicken here.“

Here they are fresh:
