and this only reads as a lower-effort version of what Larian just did.

But this very article says Bethesda has a history doing this, so makes sense they’d do it again with their new game right? I get the hate train is strong right now, but let’s be at least rational with our criticisms.

Legend has it you’re still in the theater watching it to this day

“A view that you don’t share with Nick” is such a disingenuous way to put it that it’s borderline insane. Promoting fascist shit goes beyond “views I don’t agree with”.

no, implying that gay people are pedophiles, which is what nickthamerc did, will get your character removed.

When she’s not busy defending child rapists or drumming up social media beef for free viral publicity?  Sure... Maybe?

Yes, but you don’t, for example, see Super Mario in Schindler’s List or Miley Cyrus reenacting the latest TikTok trend on Law & Order. It’s the lack of any sort of tact as much as anything else that bothers me.

There’s something mildly disturbing about the Fortnite-ification of the American Military jerkfest that is COD. The game references real life events, conflicts where innocent people lost their lives. Seems to be a cognitive dissonance in my opinion to mix that with hip cartoon characters and pop divas with cute pink…

One of my personal pet peeves about the AI “prompt-gineers” (aside from, you know, the theft of art and labour etc etc all that) is that they will “produce” a piece of work with shockingly obvious issues that wouldn’t fly past the eye of even an armature artist....and just say “fuck it, good enough. Post”

Eight…

Nothing wrong with that, space+Bethesda just did it for me from the initial announcement. If we’re talking mechs, I’d be in day 1 for Front Mission. 

Fucking braindead take, these toxic kids are far more likely to have been the bullies.

It’s going to be the Wrath of Khan of Paw Patrol. Like that classic Star Trek film it will be a sequel to an episode, in this case ‘Paw-lice Bru-tail-ity’ which dealt with the German Shepherd police dog shooting an unarmed Black Lab in the back.

An HOA is only as bad as it’s members lack of involvement in it. If people aren’t involved in the month to month actions...power hungry small minded ppl will take over make it unfriendly and lead to the horror stories.  Almost a metaphor for our current national problems.

“But he made millions!”
“He should have known!”
“He’s ungrateful!”

“We’ve got a pretty good track record of making major cast announcements and people going ‘really?’ which will probably continue.

They absolutely do. LMG is more than just LTT. They have a ton of channels at this point, and across them all (all done by the same staff), that is an accurate tally.

I’m sure they’ve got their side of it, but it does sound rather gross that they told him he was adopted (and have publicly enriched themselves upon claiming it) when they didn’t. Having him sign a conservatorship as a legal adult is even worse - they didn’t have to do that. They could have just advised him on how to…

I can understand him signing at 18. But for it to still be in effect at 37 and no one said anything is horrific.

Modern day legal slavery. 

Credit where credit is due, this dumb idiot said some stupid shit, but walking it all back (with a little face saving caveat) and joining the picket line is the right conciliatory measure.
