My friend Daniel killed himself. He had just gotten remarried a year ago, he had just gotten custody of his kids, he had gotten a promotion at work and from the outside everything seemed to be going great. We found out later that his second marriage was falling apart, and he couldn’t deal with going through divorce…

Personally I think this is more correct:

Sorry, internal organ.

Actually, it fucking is. http://fightland.vice.com/blog/fight-doctor—-the-liver-kick

The funny/terrible thing is that there’s not much you can do to defend against this. The nerve endings around the liver are “autonomous” meaning you have no conscious control of them, you get hit in the liver, or any major organ, you’re going down.

I think it was generally a lot of inexperience all around, and not knowing too much of what needed to be done, or what had to be done and how it needed to be done.” - MidBoss creative director John James suggests the root of the problem at the 2064: Read Only Memories studio earlier this year, when founder Matt Conn…

I mean, that would explain a lot, wouldn’t it? Why just months after saying women wouldn’t fight in the UFC any time soon Dana White suddenly had a change of heart, why the UFC promoted Ronda so heavily and maybe why Rousey left despite having plenty of runway to continue her MMA career (perhaps the relationship soured…

Papa John is Dana White in a wig.

I’d be very curious to know who used the word, because there are a lot of black people on the Timbers. Not sure I’d want to face down an angry Fanendo Adi...

Hahahaha, I’m sorry what?  Have you missed the news for the past month?  They just had a school shooter game controversy, there are a ton of pro-Nazi games; the only thing they seem to do a good job of is keeping out uncensored porn.

Valve’s current policy isn’t a result of logistical constraints. They already review every game that’s put on Steam. The problem is that their review standards are extremely lax. Unless a game is flagrantly racist or illegal, it gets a pass.

How do you have verified sources that can say a game is good? Players themselves can be bribed with free copies (or just small amounts of money). Reviewers can be bought off in similar ways. Descriptions, screenshots, videos can all be fairly quickly made that in no way show the actual game; there are dozens of shitty…

How was Deroir’s comment a confrontation? This is his original reply to her thread:

“Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John’s pizza for n*****s”

As I said in a post above, given the number of submissions there’s no way Valve can do any sort of QA without losing money on each game.  I suggest a  larger fee, say $2,000 or more, that goes towards a team to do some very basic QA.

The fact is that it’s the only real option to deter the flow of sludge into Steam. Having someone test the hundreds of games submitted each week would be impossible without a team of hundreds or even thousands of people, a cost far more than what Valve would recoup on a per-game basis. Now, that fee doesn’t…

She posted the initial thread about the difficulties of her job on a public site with a public Twitter account and he offered a very minor and valid critique, then she blew up about it including talking about how she is in “her space” and on “her time”. If you aren’t willing to see criticism of your opinions, don’t…

Counterpoint: get yourself the adult version of a kiddie pool, a one room AC unit.  Best $250 or so I ever spent.

Then she needs to get thicker skin, or stay off of social media. Honestly, I’ve worked a lot of jobs where half of my job was to be criticized (and that’s the polite way of putting it), often for something that wasn’t my fault or that I don’t have control over. If you represent your company on social media, you need…

There’s a reason why Deadspin has a whole section called “Never Tweet”.
