You know what, I don’t get outwardly pissed at Jezebel or individual writers very often, but this whole article and it’s not-so-subtle subtext is horrible. It’s disgusting and y’all should be ashamed.

Her hair was the best part of her costume! But alas she wasn't wearing a see through dress like she did in the book.

One of the interesting commentaries on Awkwafina’s role in Ocean’s Eight (written, IIRC, by Elaine Liu), was that it was an opportunity to showcase Asian-Americans as something other than their stereotypical role of the ‘model minority’ variety of smart, over-achievers. I hadn’t thought about whether or not it would…

That is interesting. Though I haven’t seen the particular rumblings you may be referencing, it also occurs to me that the limitation and fencing in goes both ways: as constrictive as those codifications are to black women, they are limiting to Asian American women, too, by claiming they cannot exist in a way that…

Before Donald Trump had started his political ascent promulgating the false story that Barack Obama was a foreign-born Muslim, while my nephew, Stephen, was famously recovering from the hardships of his high school cafeteria in Santa Monica[...]

It’s still amazing to me how much damage people can do just because they’re resentful little shits. Key examples include Miller and Trump.

Same. If this is really where the Dragon Age franchise is headed, I am both heartbroken and not interested at all. 

So instead of the old Bioware content where my choices intimately impact the next games, I could instead be bound to the whims of the mass market on how my game progresses, regardless of what I’ve done?

I play single player games because I don’t want to play with other people, and don’t want their actions to directly…

Now, I’m actually a little confused, popularly speaking “Live Service” tend to be games that have continual updates in content with the intent of making sure that players keep playing forever, like Fortnite or Hitman (2016), or Hearthstone, or DOTA2.

I have zero interest in playing multiplayer games, even less in a game thats supposed to be story and character driven. The idea of the story being closed off by voting is even less appealing. I don’t want my story choices dictated by other players. Since I usually wait a while to buy games, that means that anyone who…

I can’t stand this drive toward multiplayer games, and I find the assumption that my experience, as a fan of a series that has always been single player, will be “enhanced” by the introduction of other people is asinine in the extreme. Short-sighted at the very least.

I hope games don’t start taking into account player choice/input for live service story development. I want to be *told* the story that the writers felt was the most narratively appealing. Players *game* the systems and that makes all the difference.

There is definitely a big enough market of gamers that want single player experiences. It might not be the norm, but plenty of companies will keep making single player to satisfy that audience.

Right, which is why this season looks like exactly the same dark, angsty, depressing, moody, dark (did I say that already), self-loathing, “modern” emo, stressful take as the first season.

I remember last summer and fall when so-called true die-hard Trekkers were certain - nay, DEMANDED - that Discovery only get a single season, if that. They were so certain it wasn’t Star Trek that they believed that everyone would reject it. And although I had nothing to do with anything outside of being a subscriber…

My degrees are from Common Sense University and My Own Eyeballs School of Medicine. After extensive scientific tests (Googling) I have come to the conclusion that this is an unhealthy child:

So much to unpack here. Wow. Where to begin. How about here:

I do not have the words to describe how much I hate him. I am generally anti-monarchy, but come on man, she’s 92 years old! You don’t make anyone that old wait for anything.

I didn’t understand a single thing in this article. 

And surprisingly cheap looking, considering the size of those diamonds.
