I think its more nuanced than that. Or at least, it can be. Section 31 represents a contradiction that has existed since at least TNG: whereas Kirk saw himself as a soldier and openly told people that he and his crew were as much military officers as they were explores, Picard and Riker were in open denial about…

Super misleading / clickbait-y headline. It implies that Valve has claimed the practice of putting the game on a platform that is not their own is inherently unfair; in reality, they are just apologizing to customers who will now be forced to download an additional platform to play the game they had originally…

Ok, Valve complaining about the “fairness” of anything is laughable, but I’m actually really curious about the decision-making process that led to this happening in this manner at this late a point.

You are wrong, and this is in part about ethics in journalism.

Um no... it is not too much. If my COO had walked around the office sack-tapping employees, I can guarantee he would have been fired on the spot. Firing someone for sexually assaulting people, being downright disrespectful and behaving in such an unprofessional manner is a slap on the wrist. A suspension and training,…

Touching people’s testicals  is sexual harassment. Repeatedly touching them is repeated sexual harassment. Farting on people is like, beyond sexual harassment. I can’t think of any job on the fucking planet where these things wouldn’t constitute grounds for immediate termination, and especially when you’re one of the…

I love the idea that you can get away with anything as long as you stop once you’ve been called out for it.

It’s almost like this is what actual ethical games journalism looks like and not, y’know, sending death threats to Zoe Quinn.

If somebody farted in my fucking face I would blow every whistle I could get my hands on.

Imagine for one moment being an adult COO at a company that big and farting intentionally in front of someone else, much less positioning yourself dramatically to fart on the face of someone you work with. I haven’t seen someone do that since elementary school.

He’s a pretty young dude talking on stage in front of thousands of people and countless more worldwide at one of the biggest awards shows for the medium. That’s a lot of pressure, y’know?

You can watch him in a normal interview setting with my coworker Maddy Myers here.

It’s better not to care.

Say what you will about Ninja’s stance on streaming with women and linguistic gaffes, but he’s damn good at video games.

If only Bethesda had given them one more week to squash a few bugs, i’m sure they would have got the 85 Metacritic rating they needed

How unfortunate that all the effort poured into this game by talented artists and developers is going to be completely squandered in a naked grab for market relevance. Fallout 4 was fine, New Vegas was amazing; just give the bloated corpse of this game to Obsidian and let them make it good.

Give them their bonuses this…

What the fuck is this fucking sentence? Jesus. “Say what you will about this guy who perpetuates ‘no girls allowed’ toxic masculinity in the alt-right redpill breeding ground and drops n-bombs with the weak-ass 90s-era ‘just singin’ along brah!’ excuse, he presses buttons good!” is a fucking idiotic take. A n-bomb is…

I felt bad for Roiland, he was the only reason it was somewhat entertaining, also Fallout 76 is a god damn disaster.

Huh, I had presumed it was night. At the end, holy shit it’s broad daylight and it was that dark due to the smoke!

Someone tell me again why this is a user problem and not a tech problem? Phone manufacturers should use a 4000x4000 square CMOS and record in 16:9 no matter which direction is down.

Glad this family is safe and sorry for the people who’ve lost their homes
