People will mock you but you're right. What you say is intellectually consistent with the belief that all need to be treated equally. Some will come up with elaborate reasons why people objectionable to them deserve such treatment. Those are excuses they tell themselves so that they can practice their cruelty on…

Why do you have to say “the straights”? Your prejudice is just as awful as the people who are review bombing. I am straight, and I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. I never once thought what a fantastic depiction of queer love. I only thought about how beautiful a depiction it was of an excellent relationship.

A friend of mine worked on a Whedon show years ago and he said half the behind the scenes crew had the last name Whedon. I’m sure he was exaggerating and I’m sure at least a few people behind the scenes got the gig via family connections.

Exactly, simply because a parent isn’t in the exact same field doesn’t mean they don’t have a professional/personal network of people who may be and are familiar with/willing to do a favor for the parent. Taylor swift’s parents aren’t musicians but her dad was well-connected and did buy 50% of a record label to give…

THANK YOU. I've been saying this for years. When BOTW came out AV Club had an article about reviewing it where they talked about how, with time, Twilight Princess's reception was dramatically over hyped. I think the same thing is going to happen to BOTW some day. 

What’s kind of funny though, is that while I do recall the midgame having a decent difficulty spike, the late game is also incredibly laid back because you can out scale basically every normal challenge in the game just by playing 20 or so minutes a day for several months. The only thing that is difficulty gated at…

That or, despite some issues which are usually overblown, the game is still worth the price of admission.  I pre-ordered CP2077 and never regretted it, it NEVER could have lived up to the hype, but for what it was it was a great game and I enjoyed all 90+ hours I put into it. 

I agree with Meryl on those points, and for me understands perfectly 

“Hi, I’m Peter Dinklage” :D

I agree with all this, but for purely singleplayer atmospherics (which is why all my favorite DOOM and DOOM 2 .WADs were all single player campaigns), I think DOOM 3 got a lot of it right. I was thrilled by the survival horror gameplay that they showed in the first trailers, and even though the released copy didn’t…

When you look at why those particular movements succeed when others failed, though, it basically boils down to one of two reasons:

I don’t think it’s about being childlike. It’s about the fact that Star Wars takes place in another galaxy, whereas ID4 takes place on contemporary Earth, so we can easily compare it to reality and lose our suspension of disbelief.

idk if its really about wanting to hear them speak, more like its important to not live in an ideological vacuum

Is it actually worse for newbies, though? The old saying “dying is easy, comedy is hard” is not a new one. Audiences are cruel, but that’s been true for eternity.

look, pal: graphics

I understand his hesitation, and the myriad reasons for it. But there is literally nothing that could happen to Ben Affleck that would affect him as profoundly as institutionalized racism. People are dying out here. Those are the stakes.

I sympathize too, because I imagine he saw that they found out one of his ancestors owned slaves & he could instantly see headlines focusing on that, & associating him with slavery, & wondering how that could derail what he does both for his career & any non-profits. And maybe part of him thought, I don’t want to…

Does the IHS still run out of money half-way through the year? I remember as a kid (non-reservation, using our local IHS clinic) if you needed glasses, you better get your appointment before April or you'd have to wait for the program to be re-funded for the next year. It's so under-funded that people can't get…

I'm more concerned that I have to be literally near death to be referred to a specialist. There are countless people on my Rez with chronic medical problems that require a specialist but we are under a life or limb policy. So basically these people need to wait until the condition worsens and becomes life threatening.…
