Also, exposure to your comment made me a little dumber, and I don’t appreciate any of you telling me I have to smarten up :(

“involved in what authorities are calling the tot’s homicide.” Authorities have a weird turn of phrase there. Is it like the bee’s knees?
What are you talking about? They’re professionals - they took the feedback for what it was, and directed their own professional effort to the goal of improving those areas. It’s ridiculous to complain that customer complaints aren’t going to fully explain how to solve the problem - that’s what you have a professional…
It is appalling that anime keeps being anime. Why do they think that people want anime mixed up with their anime? Can’t we just have normal anime where nobody is shoving anime down our throats. It’s gotten so bad I’m starting to expect that even anime will have anime in it nowadays :(
So to people who haven’t played it, it’s not funny because it’s unrecognizable, but to people who have played it, it just describes a well-known thing that happens in the game?
“Whitehead cuts Kevin off from explaining anything further... “I don’t care what he talking about this is my house. I pay these bills. Are you crazy?”” And those are of course not the exact lines of dialogue you get from somebody who wants to be left alone while abusing their spouse, right? ...right?
Well, it’s been that way since 1995...
“But Ruth isn’t just running from these scientists” I would bet that this is just gonna get less and less sympathetic in plots as environmental disaster marches on
“we know the mastermind isn’t really called Dr. Escape Room, we just think it’s a funny name”... you’d be wrong though.
What on earth makes you think those are actual numbers? 90% vs 10% does not sound very data-driven.
Also, if you allow your book to be available at the public library, you clearly don’t think your book has monetary value and you have no problem with anyone reading / selling it for free. In that sense, can you really be any dumber?
It’s not that it’s not a thing, it’s that Europe doesn’t have the racist history that the US does (it has its own racist history). Europe didn’t have minstrel shows, and Europe didn’t have the same appropriation of the cultural resources of an African-American minority that the US has. To a lot of Europeans blackface…
Today in editing, apparently a fantasy card game touched some women inappropriately.
Counterpoint: Even if you can’t have everything, choices don’t matter. Nothing matters. It’s not supposed to.
The original game’s worldview really needed a refresh and update if it was going to have a sequel - most edgy goth clichés have aged very poorly. I’m not sure tumblr fanfic drama is the fresh new direction it needs, though.
Fuck that headline - he didn’t ask ‘critics’ to fuck off, he said that people who didn’t want to playwatch Bandersnatch shouldn’t playwatch Bandersnatch. What the absolute shit is with your editorial standards, AV Club?
Not to be glib, but that’s exactly what I said. Both the outing and the sextape publishing were shitty by any standards. At the same time, it wasn’t the readers, the staff, or the advertisers that brought Gawker down - it was Thiel’s financial muscle, which Hogan had no hope of getting on his own. Basically a shitty…
So are you criticizing the site, which published this piece but didn’t exist in 2016, or the writers, who wrote in 2016 but didn’t write this piece?
Mmm, it’s more like ‘morally and intellectually terrible’ than ‘lacking in craft’. That’s why I pivoted to ‘shitty’; I only had to use ‘terrible’ to link it to his shitty headline :(
