I don’t trust Martin’s sensibility about sexual violence at all (and yet the show managed to not improve on it!), but there’s a nuance here that gets lost because we don’t have a great vocabulary for it. Daenerys suffers rape because she’s been put in a situation where she’s not in control of her sexual consent unless…

“Foreigners should become uniform with Japan.”

Sony should leave Japan’s mappings the same and change the rest of the world. I’m real tired of confirm/cancel being opposite on Sony and Nintendo consoles

When you ask yourself questions, don’t forget to take it to the other extreme. Then you get a better appreication of the notion of there being some area in which one thing becomes another thing. For instance, if you buy artwork from an artist, are you allowed to take a photo of it, make copies of your photo and sell…

I became interested in Wim Hof because the article I read pushed a lot of the kook, crank and cult buttons I find fascinating - extravagant claims, a few iffy studies everyone quotes, weirdly useless achievements (who NEEDS to run a half marathon barefoot in the snow or sit in ice water for an hour?), spectacularly…

That recurring bite, sting and burn of racism is why I quit playing games like COD and Overwatch unfortunately. My “friends?” couldn’t understand why I would quit two games that I honestly excelled at over people being stupid and racist but I tried to explain to them that the mental toil of constantly seeing and…

To try to put it simply, lets say a Japanese person came up with a trick and people called it the Chinese air. Its bad because the person isn’t Chinese and even if they were, you’re signaling out their “otherness”. We don’t call tricks, the talking grab or the straight while male air

Man, this really looks like 2020's answer to Goatse.

I too like Waluigi for the psychological space he occupies in this franchise.

Waah.

My 2-word summary of Outer Worlds is “aggressively fine.”

A $100 markup on a luxury item is a pretty small markup. 

It is important to include games with very little queer content for a number of reasons (especially for researchers who use this database). One of them is to demonstrate the ways in which queerness was (or wasn’t) visible or expected in that time period. Another is to illustrate the lack of depiction of queerness or…

It’s not a Yellow remake without the surfing Pikachu minigame and having to grind for ten hours just to get through the first gym.

It’s actually a “timed console exclusive”. Meaning, not only is it confirmed for Switch, but will come for some undisclosed amount of time before the PS4/Xbox One versions.

Some things are sacred.

What if I get pissed off about unlicensed stickers of Calvin praying/pissing?

You obviously don’t read Marmaduke! It’s a big dog that isn’t even red.

Honestly, half the time I squad up it sounds like a few teenagers in a tornado.
