Here’s the thing, though: TFA hadnt set up any of that. It had Han announce that Luke blamed himself and walked away, and then did absolutely nothing else to set up what happened between Luke and Kylo. The audience expected Luke in TLJ to suddenly be idealistic and heroic and awesome but TFA had already established…

Can’t be that obvious if people have different opinions

I think the SW fandom’s inability to accept its previously idealistic hero being depicted as having become an old and cranky man who denounces the organisation he used to believe in is proof positive that the Star Trek fandom is more mature and frankly just better.

Lots of things. Muhammad Ali and the man he was originally named after, Cassius Marcellus Clay. Martin Luther King. Chuck Yeager. Dolly Parton. Charley Pride. Dwight Eisenhower. Jimmy Carter. George Washington. Bluegrass. Jazz. Fried chicken.

Is there another flag that represents southern pride but ISN’T Confederate? That’d be ideal.

No, the Dukes of Hazzard is all about Southern Pride. The show just needs to give the South something else to be proud of. The fact that you can’t talk about the American South (which does have a shared culture) without unconsciously segueing into thinking you’re talking about the Confederacy is 90% of the problem.…

Alignment isn’t a constraint. Alignment is merely which of the afterlives is currently calling dibs on your soul after you die. It doesn’t restrict what choices you can make, it just indicates the consequences of those choices. Your alignment can very much change during the course of a campaign as a result of your…

I’m gonna answer your question strangely.

Perhaps, but even without the card, the only thing this article needed to do was remind us the crunch is a commonplace practice and institutionalised part of the corporate culture at Naughty Dog, and that reminder would still be a worthwhile public service. If tomorrow they run another article that merely says…

Well, for one thing, there are many mad scientist tropes. Mixing animals and humans, or reanimating dead tissue, etc. The choice of “pushing human limits” is almost certainly a joking reference to how hard his team works. I’m not here to tell you whether you should get mad about a dev joking about crunch. But what you…

I’ve heard that if you don’t interrupt the ceremony, they end up accidentally killing themselves anyway. Of course I wouldn’t know since I always start blastin’.

Sure but RE4 was set in Europe somewhere (I have to assume Spain since the villagers say stuff in Spanish). So slaughtering hordes of human-looking white zombies happened first, to zero complaint.

Let’s be fair, it’s not like the previous games weren’t chock-full of slaughtering vast swathes of white zombies (first in America, then in what I can only assume is Spain? Where WAS RE4 set, anyway?). If the game is set in Africa it would stand to reason the zombies would be African, and it would stand to even more…

It’s a Japanese studio; all white dudes probably look interchangeable

Like fellow asshat Winston Churchill once said: you can always trust Americans to do the right thing, after they’ve exhausted all other options.

As always, I like to point to what I consider the gold standard of “actually looks like they’re trying to hit each other”:

Using a silver sword on humans? Pffft

Perfect fit for Reynolds, then.

Omg I never realised this song existed. This is a meme in Ireland, as Brendan O’Connor did a pisstake of it
