MGS games aren’t “real world” games, they’re military-espionage-sci-fi-occult games. It’s fine if that’s not what does it for you, but since MGS on Playstation they’ve had that element, and as tech has improved, Kojima has added more of those elements.

Personally, I stopped reading when you said “disgusting”. I can always tell what kind of player a person is by the terms they use to discuss the game.

I’d take Stokoe’s work too- if he was putting anything out. He seems to have abandoned Orc Stain, which is awesome, and for some reason is doing the snore known as Godzilla in Hell. I mean, the art is great, but what a dud book.

The point is, you want players to self-police themselves. The reality is, they won’t. Just like mere decades ago when it was “ok” to call someone a fag, we had to start making rules about it, shaming people over it and re-educating people that “fag” and “faggot” are pejorative, harmful and cruel.

But I find thinking about my language in game wondering if it violates whatever irritatingly low threshold for in game discourse the admins have established to be exhausting and honestly it makes me just not want to play the game.

You’re weird.

Remember in baseball when black players weren’t allowed to play? Remember when you could call opposing players a “faggot” or “nigger”? Pepperidge Farms remembers those days of bigotry and racism.

Well said piece, though I do have to disagree with you.

Yeah, that tux is super bad. The arms are a mess and it doesn’t look like the jacket has been fitted at all. The pant width and length is terrible and it looks like the guy is just really uncomfortable, for good reason.

Entirely possible, but I highly doubt that the Cavs would be swept because Kyrie’s defense isn’t as good as Dellevadova’s. His offense more than makes up for the difference in D.

Don’t necessarily disagree, but when Lebron comes in and basically plays point for much of the game, of course Kyrie’s assists will go down.

In what world is this song not a steaming pile of garbage?

At first blush it sounds like he’s going for a C3PO style primness/prissyness to the voice, as though a robot has to sound a certain way.

“Gucci Mah-nay” I legit laughed out loud.

As the ubiquitous white boy, I don’t disagree with a single thing you’ve written but I had to laugh when reading this:

Gads, what a meaningless distinction.

Guy looks like he could still seriously be a back up in the NBA. Playing 13 - 18 mins a night on a contender, someone who can pass, create shots for others and make his own shot if necessary.

You become that which you hate, I guess. Black activists are following the roads of power established by white supremacy: personal attacks, lies, popularity contests.

Maybe I’m naive here... but damn, what a doofus. So your kid is boring. Put a blanket out on the floor in front of the couch with some toys on it and lay your kid down. Sit on couch and play games or watch another movie. He hungry? Tired? Poopy? Deal with it! Go for a walk and get a coffee, do some vanity shopping…

See, I like American Apparel stuff, I appreciate that they try to pay their domestic workers a living wage and all that, but godamn is their stuff expensive. I don’t know if that’s what it takes to pay domestic labour, but going in there and looking at a plain white t-shirt for 40 some dollars (weak Canuckistan…
