As a Mexican, I honestly don’t care when people wear Sombreros and Ponchos during Cinco de Mayo.

As another Mexican, Don’t fucking do it. One Mexican might not be offended but others sure as shit are. We are not a monolith. And if you can have a good time without possibly offending someone, do it.

In other words, don’t be “That Guy.” That Guy being Governor Mike Huckabee.

Please don’t be this guy. The “well, I’m from this group and I think it’s fine” guy.

I’m also Mexican. I think it’s stupid. Obviously this is nowhere on the same level as some of the racist things people have said to my face, but that doesn’t mean I want some idiot running around in a serape all day.

They keep buffing and nerfing Dva and I can’t keep up!

If the creative people with whom Anita Sarkeesian meets have so little conviction in their work that they wilt to her whims the moment she talks about what she values in the depiction of women in games, that’s on them, no?

i don’t think the point of the article is “actually do this”

Many people on death row have done IV drugs and sometimes it’s rather difficult to start the IV line. So yeah, it’s not always that simple and without theatrics. Recently one of the botched executions involved an untrained medic searching for a viable vein for a while (I think it was like half an hour, don’t quote…

it and Sorcery! are great.

“Humans can last 3 hours without shelter,” - that’s a typo right? People routinely go for longer than that without shelter every day. Back to back suburban soccer games for the family meet that criteria! 

I’m so very glad that you avoided that fate, and I hope you’re doing well now. I think people have a hard time recognizing that they (and their family members and friends) aren’t immune to depression. Shit happens. You don’t want to make it easier for someone to end their life (a somewhat statistically unlikely…

RE: digital information. I have actually been looking at something more substantial. If an evac is called, if I have a bag already packed, I would have a bit of extra time. I have an old Mac Pro tower, and while I can replace the computer, I figure that I can have the computer shut down, the side off, and all of…

I think this is a really, really important point to highlight.

That was your answer to your friend when faced with the possibility that he might not have any food? Wow, you’re a horrible friend and a shitty person.

Oh, jesus christ, that is just nonsense. Keep this stupid shit up and everyone will just starve while barricaded in their homes because they’re so afraid of each other. It must suck to live in the head of someone who thinks they need to do that.

All of these things are fair and rational requests to make. Can't see any reason anyone would have a problem with any of them.

Shorter version, if you just want the list of the list of what she says are "Eight things developers can do to make games less shitty for women", paraphrased from my notes... not that a lot of this pertain to action games and probably make more sense if you're thinking about first and third-person shooters, the Arkham…

That's actually what I used to say, but was told by a feminist IRL (i.e. not online) that it was a form of dodging actually accepting feminism. It's clearly a tricky area, especially as I know that feminist groups in the US have some violently different ideas on what's okay terminology-wise to those in the UK (and on…

See, now, this is very useful, but WHY is the example all imperatives instead of suggestions?

'If you see a yellow highlight, shorten the sentence.' Yes, thank you, computer program, you're the boss.

Then, 'Get rid of adverbs' is the worst advice ever. 'Check if you don't have too many adverbs, be careful of excessive…
