There appears to be a team of dozens of people whose entire remit consists of “how do we make this material more bland”?

To their credit, they’re nailing it.

I actually enjoyed this one a bunch more than most.  I think last week’s disappointment in how they handled Billy’s discovery finally let me get over being disappointed and I just enjoyed it for what it was or something.  I definitely appreciated the pointed out issues, but I think because this episode actually had…

Okay so, witches can fly around like Dementors and Death Eaters now?

I loved the notion of “Hop in and get messy, enjoy the story and make mistakes” because this is exactly how I played Witcher 3 the first time. And honestly it was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

I’ve spoken a lot about my love for this series, especially this installment, in other places. It’s a wonderful experience, full of mystery and adventure. It sometimes felt like a dozen games in one. It’s great. So, rather than talk about that: I’ll say that I’m not afraid to wade into the romance discussion.

You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion, and not every game is going to scratch the itch for very gamer, but Heather isn’t wrong when she says Wild Hunt is considered one of the best video games ever made. While ultimately subjective, it’s a pretty universally-held truth. It’s not perfect, no. But it’s really,…

“...I do wish I could rub a lion’s mane and feel the musculature, etc...”

Want to know something shocking? legal adults also like fruity fun flavors.

THEN WHY AREN’T WE BANNING CANDY FLAVORED ALCOHOL? CAN IT POSSIBLY BE BECAUSE THE SAME SUBURBAN MOTHERS WHO WANT TO BAN VAPES WOULD RIOT IF THEY COULDN’T DRINK APPLETINIS UNTIL THEY COLLAPSE ON THE FLOOR OF THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY?

Six people die from vaping: OH MY GOD WE HAVE TO LOCK THIS SHIT DOWN NOW AND FOREVER

Thank you! I’ve been using Juul for many years and it has prevented me from smoking. I only use tobacco but I order from the Juul website for cheaper than in stores and I am afraid they’re going to outlaw this too. By banning the real vapes will just lead to more black market and more issues and before we know it vape…

I only ask because I am seeing a ton of people say that vaping got them to quit smoking. Which is good, but do they have an ultimate goal of quitting everything or is vaping a new “acceptable” version of smoking with less stigma people have moved into and are content with staying at

The difference is that:

Oh, the ol’ trite, say-it-often-enough...fool some people mantra. I guess you could say children who are “trafficked” are treated better than others also, and then, according to that logic, everything is OK.... Nope, it doesn’t work that way. Animal cruelty and abuse is a crime, no matter how “well” perps make it…

With all this audio tech, could someone, somewhere PLEASE give us the as-full-as-possible cut of Hallelujah? Granted, it might run a couple of hours, but some of us (meaning me, anyway) would line up and throw our money at it.

Yeah. He got his lifetime pass from me for The Station Agent, not for “overcoming incredible adversity.” Most of the Emmy’s embrace of GoT has felt like overcompensation, but not this. 

Oh fuck off. I’ve never watched GOT but I’ve seen him in plenty of other roles and he’s a phenomenal actor. I do know that like it or not that show wouldn’t have been NEARLY the success it was during its run without his charming ass in it. So that’s literally the only GOT Emmy I’m OK with.

“Look, we get it, he doesn’t…

I’ve seen a lot of this on social media lately, attacking people who mostly like Sanders and think he’s an important policy voice. There’s a lot of conspiratorial thinking, a lot of bad-faith attacks on Warren (quite a few of which have been deeply sexist), and extreme vitriol from people who clearly have nothing to…
