It’s pretty easy when you consider that loot boxes cost money. Let’s say that you’re playing a game where $10 gets you enough game currency, 1,000 currency, to buy 10 lootboxes, pretty simple math, $1= 100 currency = 1 lootbox. Let’s say that each lootbox has three items and is guaranteed to give you at least one…

Well, arguably EA has been much more aggressive in pushing loot boxes than most publishers. The Kotaku crowd isn’t much for sports games so it kind of goes unnoticed but FIFA in particular is pretty egregious in pushing you towards spending ridiculous cash to get a great team in the multiplayer. They’re starting to…

As I said, there’s limit on work too. That said, really in general Americans work too much.

This pretty much applies to anything except work since it provides much needed funds for you to eat and live and all that stuff(and even then, there’s a limit).  Solo time (not THAT solo time) for couples from time to time is healthy, but if you’re ignoring the person you supposedly love...something is wrong.

Doesn’t have to be the whole empire...

Or kill Trump, Pence and anybody who shares his views.  Revolutions on man, let’s kill ‘em all.  My grandpa was crippled fighting fascists, I’m down with putting some bullets in brains in his honor.

Paper, weird as this sounds, is probably the hardest thing for humanity to replace. We are, as a species, quite adept at scribbling shit down on paper, even if it’s unintelligible to everyone else. Yes, sure, what I wrote is probably not intelligible to most everyone else, but you can write things down more quickly…

Money and great...basketballs?  I’d hit that harder than Matt Barnes hit his girlfriend.

Why would it be so bad if Emhyr was a black antagonist? Black people, after all, don’t object to being antagonists, they object to being stereotypical antagonists. The problem isn’t that there are black antagonists in movies and TV shows, it’s that so often they’re shown to be stereotypical “dumb criminals”; drug…

Is being white really all that important to the character though?  The main thing is she’s the Emperor’s daughter and a source.

The craziest thing here is that Ciri is, at best, half-“northerner”.  She’s the daughter of the southern Emperor, Emhyr var Emreis.  The Empire of Nilfgaard is rather similar as an antagonist to the Ottomona Empire, which was a mostly non-white empire.

To be fair though, it’s probably about more than the slapfight with Mourinho.  Woodward has been around since 2012 and in charge since 2013, a lot of Man U fans I’ve spoken to blame him for the “decline” since then, including hiring Moyes and Mourinho.  Now, if I point out that “hey 2nd last year wasn’t too bad” and…

Because they have characters hold their guns higher. It’s the same thing they did for Halo.  The gun is actually held in a position that you would actually shoot from in real life.

Most contracts of this nature have either a buyout clause or an offset clause. In a buyout clause, the company is basically firing you and pays immediately for the inconvenience. In an offset clause, you are basically fired but keep getting paid as if you were working for the company...minus whatever you make from…

So..weirdly enough I got back into Pokemon Go...for health reasons. My new project at work is more sedentary than my old one, but there are a bunch of gyms and pokestops nearby.  So for my breaks, I walk outside, break out the Pokemon Go and take a walk.  Helps me to keep active and healthy.

Eh....the problem isn’t quite a graphics problem so much as an efficiency problem. In multiplayer, you would have to have many separate renderings of the same scene in order for the viewpoint to be at the correct height. Every player, essentially, would need their own separate rendering, showing their eyes at the…

It’s because of how gun sights work. The impression the game wants/needs to give you is that you are holding a gun, to do that however, the camera needs to be just about at chest level for you to see the model. In real life, you can see something in your hands but not at eye level due to peripheral vision, but a flat…

That’s not usually how unions work though. There might be a sort of “sub union”, similar to how SAG-AFTRA is about voice over work, but on the whole unions need to really be composed of everyone involved in the making of something, or just about everyone.  Why?  Because when a union strikes, the whole production needs…

The weirdest thing about this is that it these are terrible decisions if you’re in the magazine and tabloid-selling business. Weinstein, it might be argued, could be soon as good business from the creepiest and shittiest of late-stage capitalism views, but the rest of it makes no sense. A Bill Cosby exclusive…
