The quickest, easiest, and most effective way they could deescalated the situation was to simply leave. They didn’t have to engage her. They didn’t have to stay. They were there to check out a burglary report. Once she became hostile, they could have simply walked away. That is the one thing I can’t understand from…

Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson.

I had a conservative friend tell me that she doesn’t like it when either side dehumanizes the other side. I agreed, and I held my tongue on the response that I can think of far more examples of that coming from her side than mine.

I believe the UI was meant to feel cramped to give you a dose of what Samus must be feeling like in her suit!

Scorched fucking earth. We’re done here. I’m full. They did more in 25 minutes than anybody else did with 4x the time on stage.
