I think, at least in FF8 lore, it vibrates the blade to make the slash all badass? In FFXIV, there’s a handful of ranged abilities for attacks and tossing mitigation on teammates.

One thing I don’t get about her is ... why hasn’t she been excommunicated from polite society for licking a donut sitting in a display case at a donut shop without intending to buy it?

Game developers getting 18% more of your money is a huge benefit to the customer: The game developer can invest more in the games you love, and has less incentive to depend on trashy DLC models.

Coming back to this in the morning and seeing a lot of “Heather, leave this this to us hardcore gamers if you can’t beat it.” or whatever and I just gotta... like... remind folks who I am and what I do for a living:

Knowing how many crazy antiquated laws and local ordinances we have in this country, I’d totally not be surprised if that was actually one of them.

A group of three or more white people is called a colony. A group of two is called military advisors*.



(That’s a reference to the CIA’s role in destabilizing democratically elected governemnts in Central and South America throughout the 70s and 80s. Too obscure? I’m trying to make my humor more relatable. Let me know…

It’s possible that his sudden wealth and increased isolation has been the largest contribution to his cognitive decline.

I never thought that Minecraft being bought out by a multi-billion dollar corporation would end up being a good thing.

I mean I can be mad at George Zimmerman being found innocent, hundreds of cops not facing any murder charges, and still think that Jussie was guilty and deserved jail time. It’s not all mutually exclusive.

But with all 16 felony charges the “Empire” star was facing dropped and his record expunged, prayerfully this will be the last we hear about this.

In the eyes of the law, yeah, still alleged. Did he really do what you’re accusing him of? I can’t say for sure because I wasn’t there and, based on what I’ve read in the media, there isn’t enough for me make that decision.

“Wow, the Mayor and the Chief Of Police sure are going all Javert to get this Smollett dude. I can only imagine how the aftermath of my murder would have gone, had they went in this hardcore in finding justice for moi.”--LaQuan McDonald

They don’t want the feds involved. The Feds is who said they fucked up. The prosecutor is trying to save face. He’s talking that shit because he knows there’s no chance of the feds getting involved. If Chicago thought it had a chance of getting a conviction they’d at least have made him plead down. They could talk all…

Man... we need some answers. What the fuck is happening!?

There’s actually a theory in some corners of the book fans that someone else was swapped in to be killed as Arya was looking away and Ned will pop up to solve everything in the last book. And I kind of hope Martin actually does it as the ultimate prank on the fans.

No fucking shit. Gamers can be some of the most entitled assholes ever. Why the hell would someone want to engage with spoiled shits who armchair game develop, as if content and features are as easy to make as a meme template.

The audio logs and the echos were the best part about the Division. It added so much flavor text and context to how hard it hit the civilian populace, and essentially how hard a disaster like this could hit home. That is mainly a reason why I liked the choice of Manhattan so much; it wasn’t your typical Tom Clancy…

That last email is the one you should have sent first, and it’s a shame you had to let Bret Fucking Stephens hand you your ass before you realized that.

For many white people, the have over-defined racism out of existence. The definition is so narrow that no one fits into it. Or, if they hate all people of another race, it’s because of REASON so it’s not racism. I’m not sure how to fix this problem - calling people racist DOES NOT make people understand (note: I am…
