I didn’t like the Huayra when it came out because the Zonda was such a different car to it. It looked like a blob because aero was so important, and it went the turbo/automatic route. I’ve grown to like it over the past decade, and I think I’ll take a similar approach with this.

It's all just bad faith bullshit designed to dress up their bigotry as "legitimate concerns."

You have an odd definition of the word clear.

She stated that she’s lucky no one let her transition as a teenager”
Wait, did she want to?

Joanne doesn’t strike me as someone who does a lot of research when writing. Her self insert character is a YouTuber, something you can’t really do as a full time job anymore unless you have a big enough audience that can land regular sponsorships and donors. Every estimate of YouTube pay on any given website is

More than that. It’s over 1200 pages long!

“Read my new bestselling novel about how I’ve been cancelled!”

I feel like... if your best defense of Rowling is “she isn’t as bad as people who murder trans people”... you’ve kind of already lost the the debate about whether Rowling is transphobic or not.

No one should be getting death threats end of story. I would say go read her blog post that she posted after the tweets. It was much, much worse when it came to her attempts to explain what’s “wrong” with trans people and might as well have been written by Ron DeSantis given her take was pretty much the same. She said

Couple hundred pages nothing, this latest is closer to a thousand, from what I understand...

The problem isn’t just that her beliefs are at best ill-informed and at worst discriminatory garbage. The problem is that she seems to think continuously doubling down on it in favor of something that reads as “I’ve done my research!” is somehow different from the right-wing politicians she decries. And frankly, if

Her “defense” of “women” and “homosexuality” was just calling trans-men confused autistic lesbians.

It seems to me like subbing in “women” in place of “people who menstruate” is far more reductive. Not all women menstruate. I’m not even just talking about trans women, I’m talking about women who’ve gone through menopause, or any of the other myriad reasons a woman might not menstruate that have nothing to do with

Now that I’ve gotten my hands on it and played it a bunch, yeah, the hate it’s getting is WAY overblown. It DOES have technical issues, but I’ve seen worse issues get less criticism in other games. The story and gameplay is fine. It’s Saints Row. It feels like Saints Row. It might not light the world on fire, but it’s

Apparently, since I’m the only one in these comments that ACTUALLY PLAYED the game, I can tell you:

If you liked SR2 or 3, you’ll enjoy this.

And yes, it has some bugs, but nothing “gamebreaking” in my experience. There was one hard crash, but that’s been the worst of it so far.

It's Saint row. They should aim at a 69

As someone who plays video games just to kill time and has always put gameplay over story, I have never been able to gauge how much I’ll enjoy a game from its reviews.

Most of these reviews mentioned they had fun with the game and generally if you enjoyed the older games then you’ll like this one. Honestly I’m fine with that as I didn’t expect it to reinvent the wheel. 

I’m not going to play Saints Row because it’s a buggy mess as soon as it’s released. I’m going to wait for the next GTA game, that have always been buggy messes as soon as they were released.
