I hope you didn’t hurt yourself with that stretch.

All geographic fast-food exceptionalism is wrong except mine: Five Guys is the GBOAT don’t @ me

I’m really bad at Crucible, but Riskrunner makes me above average. You will definitely see me before I see you, you will definitely hit me before I hit you, but 50% of the time I will kill you every time.

Looks like the white Browns fans have discovered The Root.

I’m sure right now they’re up late at night trying to figure out how to keep KamenriderKaze around.

Considering the much-celebrated sequel to the game (owned by someone else) was shuttered nearly a decade ago, I think MS probably kept this one alive as long as possible.

It’s all good, I know your words came from a good place. All anybody wants is for people to feel better, it’s just about how best to get them there.

“the intelligence was wrong, not phony.”

Oh, that’s adorable.

*places palm of hand over mouth, makes fart noises*

Whoa, look out everybody, this guy’s a contrarian. His opinions are unpopular and doesn’t even care, damn.

“The truth is, video games as a whole are a great medium that everyone *can* enjoy”

Weird, I don’t remember voting for you for “Speaker for the World”

Rayrey - What MastaToken said, and also: you may not have realized you were doing it, but please know that you were doing it. It doesn’t really matter that it was motivated by a real concern for their well-being, because ultimately your words aren’t going to help. Grief is a powerful and critical emotional process

I’m not sure I follow. What does one’s preferred type of game have to do with a preference for diversity in a game? Is the implication here that diverse games and core games are mutually exclusive?

And regardless, you’re still wrong; there isn’t a finite cap on how many games can be created as long as the audience is

And that’s her opinion, and you’re free to disagree, but 1) Anita isn’t some emperor of diversity, who gets to decide what is and isn’t acceptable, she’s just a critic. And 2) it’s still not “censorship” because in order to argue it is, you have to prove that Blizzard is making these decisions over fear of outrage

I agree that more bodytypes are good and I’m glad you said that, but don’t fall into the “censorship” trap here. This has never been an argument about arbitrary censorship, this has been an argument about representation leading to broader engagement by more players.

The truth is, video games as a whole are a great

“parody is supposed to be anything that mocks or has a very stark contrast to the original content”

AFAIK, the court has still never actually ruled clearly on what qualifies as protected satire, so I don’t think you can say this with much confidence. You can say that typically the courts protect obvious parody, but

Telling people how to (or how not to) grieve: don’t do it, man. And don’t tell people to get over their grief “sooner rather than later.” You’re not them. Hell, you don’t even know them. You don’t get to dictate those things about them.

Yeah.

This isn’t “server architecture”, it has nothing to do with how many people it can support, this is application architecture we’re talking about. Games designed to be played on hosted, developer-owned servers are coded in a way that spreads out the components for the application, i.e. it doesn’t take just one server,

You don’t get the same multiplayer component unfortunately, but if you enjoy fun character interaction with Marvel heroes, I’ve been extremely surprised by how much I’ve been enjoying Avengers Academy for the last few months. The writing in that game makes me laugh out loud (intentionally) way more often than I
