Thing is, it is not that Herbert did not write strong female characters. Many of the strongest and most powerful characters in the books are female. Chani just isn’t one of them. She is important to Paul, but not really the reader.

You can replace that with USA and capitalism, and your sentence would still be accurate.

I didn’t have any sympathy for her to begin with, but this kinda just seals the deal.

Yeah, I’m sure the company is still bad. But probably not “force ten year old rape victims to have a baby” bad.

This pretty much, I didn’t really bother with the drama, but I generally raise an eyebrow at nonsense like the company responded with. My benefit of the doubt only extends so far though, and when you use it to do something else bad it tends to pull it towards dubiety.

what im getting from this is that in order to see more behind the scenes footage of game development and a better understanding on how triple a games are produced, we need to generate takes so nightmarishly bad that developers will have no choice but to dunk on them

Oh boy, people are MAD on Steam about the forced graphical updates, a lot of people can’t play the game they purchased anymore because their gpus are now ‘outdated’ because the game completely removed its DX11 support. I have a 1080 so i should still be okay, but geeeeshhh not really the best way to give the fans an…

and to body slam foes as Lady Dimitrescu.

Hopefully THQ Nordic makes a new Titan Quest fairly soon. Diablo still doesn’t have much competition, and it’s a shame. We have tons of soulslike games, Metroidvania’s, etc., but nobody seems to care about Diablo style ARPG’s these days. At least on consoles, or actually decent games. I know PC has a few, and I’m not…

EVERYONE always seems to miss the ‘well regulated militia’ part. Whenever regulations come up, the people who masturbate to guns, start to scream and cry that their rights are being taken away. They also miss the meaning of ‘militia’ Defined as - military organization of citizens with limited military training, which…

The fucking irony of her using noted feminist L. Ron Musk’s neckbeard roofing torch is hilarious.

The other thing is that Kendrick’s music always has straddled what it “means on the streets” and how that might be different than how you speak to strangers or white/mainstream people/culture — but here’s the thing ??? Sometimes “the streets” are wrong, like, super duper wrong and, like, yeah. I get it but I don’t get-…

This. I don’t think the intent is bad and this may even be a potential way to deal with some of it, but it is such an engineering-based solution approach to what is a basic sociology-based problem.

I’m being a little bit of a jerk with the picture...so I want to say I absolutely don’t doubt that the tool was made/greenlight in good faith, and I think that people doing their best to try and identify all the unknown biases they have is an admirable goal, but *goddamned* this is the most Silicon Valley-ass solution…

I’ve got to admit, I’m less offended than I am just feeling a combination of disblief and hilarity. The idea someone actually deliberately designed this blows my mind.

Go, go Power Rangers!

So the top two trims for an e Ranger would be:

They would sell the absolute hell out of an EV Maverick.

Same here! But they better hurry up, I want something sooner than later. Waiting for the Q4 Etron to get the US so I can pick up one those, but if they announce the electric Maverick I would sure consider waiting a little longer for it 

If it isn’t a Ranger, they’ve really missed a naming opportunity...
