Exactly this.  My mom teaches special education, including autistic kids; she doesn’t consider them to be a burden.  They’re challenging to raise/teach, no doubt, but they’re also typically brilliant kids that just need some understanding.  

Weirdly, I’m going to defend Ubisoft on this one. Motion controls are hard to develop for, since they were required on the Wii and Wii U, that meant a lot of extra efforts just to get it functional as per Nintendo’s standards. There are (as far as I know) no such requirements for the Switch, so it’s mostly about…

To be fair, it’s also....pretty generic looking. There are dozens of puzzle platformers out there and there doesn’t seem to be much (from the gameplay trailer, at least) to make it stand out from the pack. There doesn’t seem to be a unique mechanic and the visual style is one that is frequently in favor with indie…

I don’t believe in heaven, so not so sure I’d care about getting to a place that doesn’t exist. That said, the worst thing I do is flip people off in traffic sometimes. Not going to claim to be a saint, but I sure as hell haven’t funded or supported bigotry and hate. While gay men were literally being beaten nearly to…

Can you have a fistfight while carrying a coffin?

Barron Trump wouldn’t be involved.  Not because he’s too young and small to carry the casket, but because he’s not Trump’s kid.

Her husband is also an MMA fighter, she’s also a rather tiny person at 125 lbs and a height of 5'3".  If you’re fighting someone that also knows martial arts and they’re larger and stronger than you, you’re in for a bad time.

Really they’re problem is they want to be villains but they suck at it.  I seem to recall there are times in the anime when they could really be complete jerks, but just don’t have the evil hearts for it and eventually do the (sort of) right thing.

So Kaepernick still wants to play...why not go to the CFL?  It would kinda be fun to see him light up some scrubs.

Beat the racist team.

That’s true, it’s not.  But marketing can have an outsized effect on the performance of a product.  My larger point is that Cliff Bleszinski is good at making a particular type of game that needs the backing of a larger apparatus to work correctly.  He doesn’t work as an indie developer because doing the same thing as…

What’s sad is that this even had to happen.  Anti-fascism shouldn’t be controversial in America, my grandpa got his leg tore open in World War 2 fighting these assholes,  they don’t deserve a voice and their hate has no place in modern America.

The difference is that with a physical card the value isn’t just because you got the card, it’s the quality of the card and the age that determine value to a collector. A mint-condition Black Lotus from the first edition of Magic: The Gathering can sell for $27,000 at auction; such value factors don’t matter in a…

So true about Artifact, they’re pricing it like it’s a physical game instead of an online game.

The stock market in general is down, doesn’t mean that these specific stock dips are due to that.  Activision-Blizzard’s big dip hit after the Diablo Immortal backlash, for example.

Yes, stocks in general are down, but they aren’t as much as 38%, at least not yet. Just because stocks in general are down doesn’t mean that every stock that went down at all is a victim of the general bear market. If you’re trying to play at being a day trader, then you’re missing key details by just saying “down…

Right, but the backlash is surely hitting the bottom line, especially thanks to looming legal concerns in the EU.

Wasn’t talking about workers.  Was talking about the backlash and legal trouble relating to the “live services” model which is built around microtransactions and loot boxes.  I’m well aware investors don’t give a shit about workers.

I think it could have. Quite frankly, I was only vaguely aware Lawbreakers existed; you know if this was backed by EA or Activision-Blizzard or Take-Two there would have been a huge media blitz that would have lured at least some folks away from Overwatch.

Given that the general scent of bars with darts is “rotting bloody vomit from alcoholic with a failed liver and a love of cheese” I’m surprised he can smell anything.
