Sadly, it wasn’t about saving money for the cops that bitched, I don’t think. It was about entitlement. They felt entitled to a free meal. They felt we owed them that. Fifty percent off was insulting to their status as Great American Heroes, apparently.

I worked at a buffet chain in high school, and we always shuddered when cops came in to eat. They were obnoxious and demanded free shit all the time. Our corporate policy was that officers in uniform got 50% off their meal. That wasn’t enough. They wanted it totally free, and complained to that effect every time. They…

Found the bootlicker!

Tactics like this aren’t to resolve, they’re to escalate.

Ah, yes, because if there’s one thing we’ve all learned over the last few weeks, it’s that the cops can be trusted to do the right thing.

Is this before or after he was doing all of that squirrelfucking?

quick frumpy computer girl, hack into the mainframe and tell us where they are!

Something something unsub is escalating after being triggered whatever...

This one seems a bit more Brett Kavanaugh.

FF14 charges you for it monthly, there was never any doubt the work on ARR would be profitable if the game was good. No Man's Sky is a similar enough comparison, and it took them 3 years to make that work as well, but the cost of NMS versus the cost of Anthem is like night and day.

...her famous family recipe for lemon pound cake?

IIRC she was lead designer on some of the Wizardry games, including VIII, which some people consider to be the best entry in the series (and one of the best RPGs in general). Whether you think that’s enough to afford her legendary status is up to you, of course.

John Romero’s great grandma is going to make you her, etc etc

Not to disagree with you totally, but Call of Duty (despite appearances) has generally been an anti-war series. Call of Duty 4, in particular, has the very explicit message that the arrogance of American interventionism is a horrible thing that will get very many people killed. Meanwhile, the various other governments…

How long before he starts pitching Alex Jones brand male virility supplements?

I said this guy was garbage previously for his bullshit, and I got walls of text on how I was the bad guy and he wasn’t that bad.
