There’s a difference between reposting someone else’s meme without attribution because you think it’s funny and deliberately seeking out other people’s content to monetize for yourself while actively telling the content creators to fuck off.

No, get over it. You want to fight something? Fight for DRM Free future. Not about what poor .exe you launch before your game.

Gamers are just the biggest fucking babies.

EA’s marketplace isn’t vertical - they offer keys via lots of other online shops, including Amazon who discount the digital keys frequently (I got Titanfall 2 for £3.99 on Amazon last year in a lightning deal/price snafu).

Also Origin has sales all the time? Like if their intent was to keep prices high they suck at it.

If clicking an icon to the left instead of clicking an icon to the right is seriously going to stop you from enjoying a game you sound like you want then...woof, buddy good luck to you.  

Ok, Valve complaining about the “fairness” of anything is laughable, but I’m actually really curious about the decision-making process that led to this happening in this manner at this late a point.

idk that they have. Elements of his work are popular on a purely aesthetic level, but there isn’t a lot of full-on cosmic horror out there (unless you count video games).

Nobody’s crying, numnuts. He’s just juxtaposing the narrative decision to making him a cute boy adventure hero.

Alex literally said: “They’re long dead, so frankly, it doesn’t make much of a difference any more, except in a socio-historical way, if you were trying to trace the cultural lineage of cruelty or oppression or what have you. You don’t have to feel bad about liking good art made by those bad guys; they’re dead!”

I’m seeing a few folks (both in the approved comments and the greys) pointing out that the swastika had (and has) other cultural associations apart from the Nazi regime of WW II-era Germany.

My natural inclination is to react to this attempt at tossing a red herring into the discussion with anger, but I’m going to try…

Maybe you should ask why there’s so many Queer Lovecraft fans in the first place?

Hopefully they’ve watched HBomberguy’s video on how to adapt Lovecraft in the 21st century. I’m sure they have.

Finally. I’ve heard stories of abuse for years coming from the convention scene. Always an open secret. Always brushed off as “just creepy anime dude y’know?”

An important and I’m sure very likely to be disregarded reminder: believe victims. The likelihood of a given accusation being false is incredibly small.

We’re nearly two decades into the 21st Century, a century in which we have all learned that Schizophrenia and Multiple Personality Disorder are NOT the same illness. At all.

It’s so insane to me that Mike is far right and Bill is far left and they’ve worked together successfully for like 25 years. 

It’s a bummer. MST3K, which was surprisingly advanced for its time (though it’s not hard to distance yourself, via savage riffing, from the insanely racist and sexist media of the 50's/60's), dipped into a few very unfortunate riffs of its own. Namely, the whole sequence in (the otherwise fantastic) Incredibly Strange…

You’re conflating ‘gay jokes’ with ‘we are not going to make fun of gay people at all’.

i know meg’s the worst & also not real but that makes my skin crawl.
