I still think it would be funny to just cast Don Cheadle again.

If a company can do a through background check on on an employee prior to providing elevated access, I’m pretty sure Disney of all companies could fund a pretty thorough check on a guy they anticipate being the lynchpin of several billion in movie revenue. You don’t have to ask him a thing.  There are companies and…

From a technical perspective, you may be absolutely right. And if Musk (and I’m not saying he is) is actually serious about tracking abuse then he’ll see the results in the resulting data.

Oddly enough, yes I do use Twitter. But I’m one of maybe a reduced number of people who is fairly minimal in my footprint and consciously avoid the areas where people fight all the time because in my estimation they enjoy doing it and I get nothing out of it.

This is the correct takeaway.

Not a Musk person mind you, but I suspect for many the issue is deadnaming and misgendering may be a component of abuse, but may be more microaggression than anything. Some people may have known a person a long time with another name for example. Or someone has declared they are transgender but not everyone knows and…

I think to your point, the fact that’s it’s been fashionable to bash Metallica’s new stuff long enough for it to have had kids really messes with things. It’s sort of meant that musical discussion has always been married to the idea of “the later stuff” is bad, it just depends on you when that “later stuff” was. …

Gorilla has apparently seen Dunkey’s review it seems.

And their replacement:

I think once someone has killed all their heroes, it’s probably just best to keep in mind Hollywood is inherently a huge social power construct.

Makes sense - the Cosby Show is 84-92 and much of that discussion would have taken place in and around that time.  Jackson’s presidential bid was 84.

You have to remember that the popularity of the term wasn’t originated in White America. The original term is REALLY old and attributed to a pamphleteer suspected to be of Black descent and aimed at black Americans. The 80's and 90's popularization of the term can mostly be attributed to Jesse Jackson who popularized…

I have no shame in admitting that Okumura basically caused me to quit playing multiple times and just go do something else. The Atlus team would cause no one any anger if they’d just go and modify that fight.

It’s just the balancing issue of it. You could relax the timer OR give the player a heads up that the style of fight is something to account for. Even with that, the time limit seems too aggressive for the rest of the game.

The issue was the game doesn’t really prepare you for that fight. The mechanics it rely on are specific and while playing to the enemies weakness is a thing, it is very possible to go into that fight, having waited until the end of the time limit (as is common), and find yourself lacking something you can’t get…

It’s always nice to know when creators are aware of their own limitations.

I mean what did you expect?

Both far left and far right tend to have this weird sort of authoritarian/anti-authoritarian paradox that’s always going. Usually they’re perfectly fine with some sort of weird invasion of privacy like your health or what you say out loud but by god if the police can actually do their job more effectively, no thank…

I think most people are on the sane side of this.

To your point, figuring out ethical consumption is such a minefield because where do you draw your own line on “when is it justifiable ignorance” and when is it just “following your preference and using an excuse.” And does that mean highly intelligent people have to live as otherworldly monks because they should…
