I’ll assume you’re commenting in good faith despite your use of an awful buzzword like “identity politics,” so consider this: Lots of girls are taught that video games and game development are for men. Girls Make Games is an institution designed to teach girls that hey, they can play and make video games too, which…

“Today on This Voided Warranty... Repainting the Nintendo Switch JoyCon!” Actually... “This Voided Warranty” would be a fan-frickin-tastic name for a series of modding videos! :D

Didn’t say he was good, just qualified. According to this CNN article, he worked for a while in communications for the GOP (including as communications director for the RNC) before working for the Trump campaign.

He may also think he can prevent some damage. I’m a non-american civil servant and I know I’d be really torn about taking an appoint from this administration. On one hand, fuck those guys. On the other, would I be able to prevent some harm and maybe make things a bit better for the country than if I turned it down and…

During the campaign, a lot of people subscribed to the theory that Trump would hire competent people to fill in the gaps, and that he would just kind of be a figurehead, like he seemed to do in his other ventures. That was, admittedly the best-case scenario. I think it’s a testament to how wrong that theory was that…

When you proudly proclaim your deliberate ignorance as a selling point, it’s pretty much a given that “learning fast” isn’t on your resume. Or, really, learning at all.

Well even an empty void is a thing of sorts...

Yeah both my GF and I are pretty liberal, and both left Utah because of the political and religious climate, but Huntsman is a pretty reasonable guy. I was pretty sad when he left to be the ambassador. He’s the only recent republican I would seriously be okay with being president. Like you said, he not only believes…

Huntsman is a special, weird sort of breed - he’s a rationalist Republican. He believes in evolution and human caused climate change. He’s the only Republican out there I could see myself voting for for president over a democrat. Trump is a chode and all, but at this point every rational voice that has his ear is a…

Did you know that is where Tom Petty came up with part of “Learning To Fly”? He was apparently talking to a pilot who said “Coming down is the hardest thing”.

Now, I’m a man, so I don’t have the best experience to speak on this, but something just doesn’t seem right…

He’s already put up a blog post on his site talking about all of this, and it sounds like he doesn’t want to counter sue. I mean, even if he did counter-sue, what would he even stand to gain? After all these years, do the Romine brothers/Digital Homicide even have any assets/funds left to James Stanton to be awarded…

I had a teacher in high school who had an old two stroke Saab that he’d had since the 70s, during the fuel crisis someone decided to siphon his tank.. Needless to say, it wasn’t hard to tell which neighbor had done it!

this reminds me of an incident in high school. this kid i disliked sat behind a kid i did like and would always take his gatorade and then play dumb. so one day the kid i did like brought in a fruit punch gatorade that had been filled with all types of hot sauces. kid i didn’t like took a big swig and asked to go to…

This was a story told to me by my grandfather. When younger my grandparents would do a lot of RV’ing. E450 or E550 based RV (can’t remember which), very last year Ford sold the ye olde 460 engine with the commercial E-series cutaway. So you know the RV you get stuck behind in the middle of nowhere with the cruise…

Ah hell, I’ll jump in. So as some folks here and on Oppositelock know, I’m Trans.

Back when I-95 through central VA had toll booths my friends and I were riding to Richmond in my car (1978 Oldsmobile 98 Regency coupe). We had already been through two of the 50 cent money machines when we came to the third and final one on our journey. My friend, let’s call him Timmy, decided as a prank he would lay…

The alt text just makes it better:

One of the nice things about Infinite Warfare’s campaign was that Salt was never undermined by being put into “male gaze” poses like the one in the header image. She was respected as an equal by Reyes and the others in the game, and they avoided lazy tropes about women being defined only as extensions of the men…
