Right, and these people are using the word Wasteland as the title of a game. It’s obvious to you as a person who plays and follows video games that the two are unrelated, but it isn’t necessarily obvious to a random member of the public.

And think about it from the court’s perspective. Suppose in a year someone tries…

The guys behind Wasteland 2 are trapped by US IP law. I’m not a lawyer, but my understanding is that if they don’t actively defend their trademarks then from the perspective of the court they’re establishing a precedent that could be used against them in a trademark case where they genuinely care. It’s silly and…

No love for Stellaris on the list of games coming soon? I know Paradox isn’t the biggest developer in the world but the game’s releasing on the 9th.

I’m kind of disappointed, honestly. This is the sort of experience I’d love to have on phone or ipad, but not really what I’m looking for on my PC.

Yeah, now all they do is whine about how the ideal point for skilled workers is community college educated, while not making any attempt to encourage people to get the kind of degrees they’re looking for.

I do think there are some societal issues with growing stigmatization of factory work, but your suggestion is…

I’m really looking forward to finding out literally anything about this game beyond Link having a bow that shoots laser arrows and the horse being in it.

Someone should tell the police that if they find a bunch of german WWII weapons lying around at some stage of the investigation they need to RUN.

Oh! My bad. I parsed that as being intended as a link in support of your last set of statements and didn’t connect it with the earlier remark about vanishing pages. I thought you just really liked the guardian.

It’s almost like he’s some sort of disaffected outsider who values principles over policy victories, and doesn’t really collaborate with any other liberal politicians for larger gains.

TBH if he’s still a democrat in a year I’ll be sort of surprised.

I like to say that I would be uncomfortable with any seriously dynastic candidates after Hillary, but if I’m being honest with myself I would walk the streets until my feet were bloody stumps to canvass for any of the Obama women.

Just sayin’ Sasha and Malia, if you want a career in politics...

Genuinely no judgement, but fyi that guardian link doesn’t actually take you anywhere.

This was my reaction too.

Well, actually I thought “She’s going to be savagely beaten by Carl Weathers?” But this was close enough.

Right? I’m a progressive supporting Clinton over Sanders because I’ve read most of his actual policy proposals and they’re pretty universally garbage. An (underfunded and overpromised) trillion dollar a year health care plan that’s supposed to derive most of its funding from taxes intended wipe themselves out in 15-20…

So I 100% know you understand this, but whenever the ‘94 crime bill comes up I like to remind everyone that if you check the voting records the people who voted against it were reprehensible hyper-racists like Strom Thurmond, who wanted to see something infinitely worse.

I just want you to know that you’re my favorite.

Maybe a list like this would urge Kellogg’s to figure out how to make Corn Pops last more than half a second in milk before dissolving into paste.

A Song of Ice and Fire includes only two full battle sequences, and one involves a 700 foot high wall made of ice while the other involves setting an entire river on fire with fantasy napalm. Gripping, sure, but I wouldn’t call them realistic...

Do not trust these people. They do not have your best interests at heart.

I really, really don’t understand this argument. There are plenty of reasons to prefer Sanders to Clinton but you know you’ve invented this position right? Sanders has said on multiple occasions that he wouldn’t end the drone campaign. He says he’d use it more selectively but that doesn’t actually mean anything.
