You say that this episode subtly and artfully deals with death and grief, but... does it? I mean, based on what this article says we aren’t given any clear idea of what (if anything) Stoutland is suffering from, and the whole concept of death is brushed aside (I’d expect a frigging Pokemon professor to at least try…

“whitewashing” is not hate speech. Not sure how you can think so. It’s the term to describe a well documented (and admitted!) phenomenon where white people are preferred for roles that were in an original version not white or are clearly not supposed to be white, reasoned with “We needed a white person to get funded…

because white is a loose group of people that you are a part of when you’re not targeted by systemic discrimination based on skin color and/or origin (aka you can still be discriminated against, but not as part of a larger system). That’s what is defined as racism. It’s like how the Irish and people of Irish descent…

It’s obviously Mage Armor. Did you not see the staff? If you sit at my table with that on, you take no penalties for Arcane Spell Failure.

Alright. I’ll bite.

It’s interesting because there are many of us who do find the plot intriguing. I haven’t read the manga and am thoroughly enjoying the mystery of the anime. Where did the titans come from? Why do they behave the way they do? And why are there now an increasing amount of sentient titans who,…

You can have big stakes without main characters dying left and right, I mean look at Galactica. Despite the main characters not dying, the world building established that humanity is constantly on edge.

Thank you for this post. It’s a great way to start the Sunday morning with something awesome as this.

The audio engineers at Capcom have to feel pretty good about their work.

I dunno if you played Persona 4 Golden*, but they added a ton of things to help protect your Protag. By the time I was about halfway through the main story I had about 5 layers of protection before he’d fall, and there were personas who were strong against both Hama and Mudo that I would equip when I was moving…

This version of Gilgamesh is so dry and boring, I wouldn’t even want him as a summon.

You are definitely the only one.

Pro tip : Read it.

Thats a rather alternative view of what happened. Jafari tweeted out his support of White Supremacy. A personality from a different medium asked him to come on his show and talk about it where Jafari said even more white supremacist lies and then Jafari on his own Youtube channel double downed on his white supremacist…

Good god, the bigot apologists are out in force today.

I would like to remind everyone that this is not censorship and that Playtonic as a private business has the right to express itself as they see fit. If they do not wish to include voice work by a controversial figure in their video game that is well within their right. Jon’s free speech was not violated in any way…

A lot of posters are misinterpreting what he means. He is a pioneer. His mixing of hip hop and comedy was the first of its kind on weekly syndicated sketch show.

Negative comment regarding Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Gita, thank you for this--and particularly for taking the time to collect opinions from the broader fanbase.

I personally find what Jontron had to say during the “debate” (if such it can be called with a straight face) absolutely repugnant, on both a (personal) moral level, and as someone who is reasonably well-versed…

Am I the only one bothered by people that buy stuff JUST to destroy it?

Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
