Close. In speedrun mode, these guys are successful runs of other players, and there will be dozens of them on the screen at a time, jumping and spinning about. So even worse than if it were just failed runs.

I mean, by all accounts it doesn’t seem to be that way. But hey, if you think disliking someone is a good reason to cause them and their coworkers frustration I may have bad news about who’s being an asshole in that relationship.

Dude, the Game Awards or any other live televised performance is a super stressful job where a bunch of people are trying to keep a lot of very weird stuff from going off the rails. Game jams are opportunities for devs to play, marketing-driven TV shows are marketing-driven TV shows. Unless Keighley invited people to…

Well, yeah, but it’s somebody’s job, too. I don’t particularly care for KFC, but if I ever go to one I don’t make it my mission to lightly annoy people working or eating there, you know? Particularly not with an ad for my own restaurant.

So... that’s a shitty thing to do.

I mean, Kickstarter’s history is a cautionary tale of over-promising and under-delivering, if anything this is a celebration of developers who not only delivered on promises but gave a quality product that was beloved by the community. I’m sure they worked a fair bit more than they initially envisioned but I doubt…

If you’re willing to apply the same broad brushed, intellectually dishonest, vague use of “influence,” then no, not with Jesus, the Apostles, Plato, Aristotle, Mohammed, Darwin, Spencer, and countless others.in the historical canon.

His stories suggest he found both women and physical intimacy rather frightening and confusing.

Chapo Trap House, for one.

In a rational world that valued outcome as much as intent, this would be greeted as the equivalent of shouting “Heil Hitler”. I don’t care how “well intentioned” you think communism is “on paper”

Though if you want to read something more accessible than Manifesto, Huey Newton is an excellent place to start. ‘Revolutionary Suicide’ is an incendiary title but the book is excellent and easier to parse than Marx or Lenin.

will follow the exploits of the dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden,

To say they created Game of Thrones is pretty inaccurate. It was an incredibly well selling series long before it aired. The TV show increased awareness obviously, as it always does, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that after they show got passed the original sources and had to come up with things on their own…

Well, now that HBO has quietly put Confederate to bed, how else do you expect them to clumsily handle the topic of racism?

For those who wonder where Thunberg’s argument is, listen to or read her speeches. For example, the widely-publicized speech to the UN was fairly short, especially in transcript form. Her provocative appeal to world leaders - “How dare you!” - was widely reported; less noted was her argument that it isn’t enough to…

Also if you watch a video of one of his public interviews in which he “rants” about comics, even one from the past couple of years, he actually comes across as pretty chill and not at all an angry person. But when you just print the words and there’s no context or way to communicate the tone of what he’s saying, it…

By the Divine someone who knows about that game!

If this is anything similar to Long Live the Queen!, I'm definitely interested.

Proper journalism doesn’t require taking every aspect of someone’s life with a fine tooth comb.

To give context to who Gainax is? There are probably millions of people who have heard of Eva, but wouldn’t be able to pick the Gainax name out of a lineup. It’d be a pretty sloppy article if they just said “...president of Gainax, some company...”
