E3 Twitch Chat Has Been Miserable

I’m shocked. Truly and utterly shocked. I though twitch was the pinnacle of respectable people and conversations.

Fixed.

“What I was asking was, what if we continued to pay doctors peanuts, would they literally turn into monkeys? And no one’s asked that before!”

I really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wish Deadspin was still alive to see their take on this fight.

Press X to Perjury

true, but “many M4s Sherman” sounds like someting an english major who likes playing with lingustics would say.

This town used to be named East Detroit, until the (white) residents decided it made them look bad to have ‘Detroit” in the name and voted to change it. Just so it’s clear what kind of place we’re talking about.

But also, like... how’s it fuck? Think about that! It can’t just sit around sleeping all day. It needs to breed. It needs to get down and get busy, otherwise, there won’t be many Komala’s sleepwalking around.

This is Eastpointe. Zero surprise here. Read up on why they changed the name of the city from East Detroit to Eastpointe in the early 90s.

They 100% used to pick up black people who were seen walking in the neighborhood and drop them off south of Eight Mile. Happened to one of the after 5pm office managers at least…

To be fair, having read Going Clear, I think this WOULD pass for clever in Scientology. Reading about the induction and program, all I could think was how lonely/depressed/out of touch with reality these people must be to fall for a religion that sounds like crap at the outset and just goes downhill from there.

Komala has a unique ability, comatose. It’s treated as asleep without actually having the status condition, so it can use moves that usually require you to be asleep, like Sleep Talk and Snore. It also can’t be afflicted by many status conditions, so it’s immune to burn, freeze, poison, and paralysis.

While this…

God, I love Garrus. (and, frankly, every other goddamn character, but especially Garrus).

For the life of me, I have no idea why they didn’t use the ME1 heat sink based weapons in Andromeda.

As a sidenote, something that is amusingly standing out to me is how clumsy the BioWare approach to companion dialogue was at this point and how much it improved over the games. It’s just they make the companion general dialogue context free, there’s this weird sense of just getting insane info dumps on the…

Informed consent doctors and the ability to pay out of pocket for everything. Its how I got top surgery before I even started hormones, all without needing to go through a therapist first. And my surgeon wasn’t unscrupulous; he just applied the same criteria for service to me as to all his other patients coming in to…

The only explanation I can think of, if true, is unscrupulous plastic surgeons, of which there are plenty. It’s really telling that we only have a moral panic about surgeons altering young people’s bodies when it involves trans people as opposed to breast implants or nose jobs given as graduation gifts to cis…

You can’t even get surgery until you are eighteen even if you are Jazz Jennings.

You can get puberty blockers (which are reversable) and you can get hormones but doctors won’t do surgery until you are eighteen.

So, the woman who de-transitioned.  Did she find Jesus?  Is she being used by some cult to push their bigoted…

I’m so proud of myself and everyone I know for never buying scalped merchandise. I hope it’s just a circle of scalpers selling to other scalpers and nervously looking at their guest room that’s filled with nothing but graphics cards, pokemon cards, and PS5s. 

I have a friend who used to do a lot of scalping many many years ago as a way to get some extra cash in college. It was the early 2000s so he was mostly just taking advantage of weird early internet selling practices.
I asked him about the current insanity going on in the scalping world and he said its crazier than it…
