I’m shocked, *shocked*, that kitty pulled out the slurs.

It’s the one relevant to the site, and they still used it as evidence against him when we all know they’re just pixels and it isn’t real.

I get your point and we likely agree for the most part but even the use of “weasel out of it” rubs me wrong. Nobody should ever feel bad or wrong or judged for not wanting to kill another person. There is no such thing as weaseling out of conscription.

But it’s essentially the headline that the fucking LINKED ARTICLE USED. And “just one of many pieces of evidence”? WHAT EVIDENCE? The article points out the *lack* of evidence for the defense. But then you should ask what SK wanted as “evidence” of his status. Like if you’re not out on the street proselytizing…

By the ‘logic’ on display here, the great turtle-stomping epidemic of the 80s caused by Super Mario Bros must have been horrific! Oh, right. That never happened. Because that’s not how this works. That’s not how ANY of this works.

The court system in SK seems very petty, vindictive and childish, sending the message of ‘don’t challenge us or else’. Forcing young people to participate in something they are morally against is not going to create a soldier who is ready to defend against an invasion from the North. It’s going to create a soldier who…

I presume this case was presided over by Judge Orson Scott Card

This reeks of boomer energy where they assume playing video games makes you a serial killer. 

Great to know Korea’s Supreme Court basically operates on the same moral intelligence level as teen fanfic writers.

Don’t think of it as modifying, think of it as zooming in on one model so they both line up.

Scaling is not modifying. 3D modeling/sculpting software are all different in units of size/scale. You could make a desk lamp model in Modeling Software A, import it into Modeling Software B, and instead sitting nicely on top of a desk, the lamp is the size of the desk itself. One *must* adjust the scale in order to…

What? Scaling means nothing. Scaling is a completely transform-free process in 3D modeling. 1 inch means 1 foot means 1 astronomical unit because these virtual worlds are completely unit free.

I’ve never owned a GameCube or used one by choice so it’s a surprise to me. 

No, genuinely, I wrote what happened. You know what—at no point from discovery to publication did the thought of how many people would click on it cross my mind, because it makes no difference to me at all. I just tend to hope that whoever does read it will enjoy it. That’s the end of my motivation. It’s lovely when I…

im 37 and I did too and had no idea about this til reading this article.

Thanks for sharing this. I had owned a GameCube since a few days before their official release in the US and can’t say I was ever aware of this little easter egg.

Wasn’t for me. I never made a habit out of incessantly clicking buttons when my consoles start up and it wasn’t widely reported non-stop. This is literally the first I’ve heard about it.

You see how this whole article is structured, right? It begins - literally the opening sentence - by acknowledging this could be an “embarrassing gap in our knowledge”, then I repeatedly mock myself for reporting 23-year-old news throughout, and then finish by mocking us again by suggesting we’ll report on a Wii egg…

I’m 46 and I spent an awful lot of my time playing my GC at the time. Thanks for your concern.

You’re saying someone can’t be a “real fan” unless they meet your arbitrary criteria. That’s the definition of gatekeeping.
