I think this is pretty solid evidence that they don’t care about really balancing the game. They just want to appease complaints and shutup the masses of casuals who don’t understand how video games are balanced or work.

And then drop two or three turds like the aforementioned Mr. Allen in the NBA Draft punchbowl.

What does he, or Allen, or Duke gain by suspending Allen longer, giving him a smaller showcase and less experience, and fielding a worse team?

I don’t think it’s that people have a hard time taking sexuality seriously in games, but rather the very logical bind market platforms are in when it comes to maintaining an all-ages reach. Let’s face it, we all know little kids are getting their hands on games with M ratings based on violence. It’s more or less…

If you go in to gain intel, quitting out multiple times, then you are willfully circumventing the rules that determine failure.

Leaderboard pride, I imagine. I’m pretty certain that the players at the top of the leaderboards for any given mission all use the exact same strategy (typically fire extinguisher/propane flask + breaching charge).

I agree, though it depends on how you play Hitman.

You still have to get the job done eventually, either way. They aren’t circumventing that.

But you’re right that it’s how the game itself is supposed to be played.

I don’t understand why you think the Hitman example is cheating. If a person is going into an Elusive Target challenge, scoping things out, and then exiting to craft a strategy without the stress of being in the moment, that just seems like a valid form of gameplay to me. It’s not like they’re finding some way to…

As stupid as the thing was, it was obviously scripted. When they do “Conversation Street,” we are not witnessing an impromptu interaction between the hosts. They’ve rehearsed it, and the beats are inserted for comedic value, or whatever. The point, as far as I can tell, was just to reinforce the dunderheaded,…

but I’ll concede that if this cycle proved anything, it’s that polling is a garbage art

Spend all your energy blaming the Democrat, it’s all her fault.

If you want to cast aspersions, though, cast aspersions on the people in the Democratic party who were secretly (or not so secretly) hoping for a Trump nomination, because they thought he’d be a walkover.* Cast aspersions on the people inside the Clinton campaign that felt that way, and did what they could to amplify…

What’s he “fighting” with this post, though? The implication of the “you’ve been warned” motif is that somehow we’ll deserve what we get if and when we get it. That’s not resistance. It’s sneering resignation.

I think she is trying to distinguish between how she feels about being single (positive) and how society views it (miserable).

If someone reading this gets that the author is either PERFECTLY okay being alone or that she’s just cutting out good advice, they’re looking at things very simplistically. There’s a layer of depth you’re missing.\

If Uber’s goal isn’t/wasn’t to put traditional taxi companies out of business, then they are incredibly stupid. Because that’s what they have to do in order to stop bleeding cash eventually. They must kill off the competition and become indispensable in the area of livery transportation. And they must do it at a large…

$2 billion in loses this year and Uber thinks the best plan is buying more $50,000 self-driving cars rather then retain their cheap, badly paid contract laborers who wear/tear their own vehicles. Spend your way out of debt? I just don’t understand these new companies with books so insanely upside down that investors…
