I’m starting to feel like we’re getting to a point where nothing is allowed. I mean, the context here, for example. She isn’t making fun of black people in any way. She’s trying to remain true to the character, who happens to be black. It would be one thing if she had done something deliberately offensive, but she’s…

It’s also pretty creative to pretend like Kadri’s hit occurred in a game that was otherwise pristinely clean.  Kadri was the victim of at least three no-calls during the game.  I don’t defend his actions but I can sure as hell understand them.

Counterpoint: I turned off the game about five minutes in last night, and won’t watch playoffs again this year.  It was shameful, dangerous, ugly, messy.  The hacks and goons at Sportsnet can cheerlead about the New NHL™ all they want, it’s scrummy business as usual, talent-nullification of the worst kind.  I don’t…

DERP DERP MANS GAME DERP DERP

This is 100% on the refs for letting it get out of hand, and while that’s not going to help Kadri at all, I’d bet you see a lot quicker whistles in Game 3.

Thank goodness that even though the future in TD2 is bleak, that there is a ray of politically correct sunshine.

How could you leave out 0080, if you were focusing on the anti-war aspect? It’s particularly unique because the protagonist has nothing to do with either side, and sees firsthand the horrors of war.

I know that when I’m filmed and photographed aggressively grabbing women by the shoulders, neck, and waist over a course of decades, it has nothing to do with my own actions, but is in reality a conspiracy theory orchestrated in a long con by my enemies.

And I’ll bet that whatever it turns out to be, some shitbag will be in the comment section telling me it’s not that smart and not really all that great.

Him...and, like, everyone else. For good reason.

It absolutely blows my mind that Japanese drug discourse makes DARE look evidence-based. A friend who lives in Tokyo told me a while back that the overwhelming mainstream perception of drugs in Japan is that being at all involved with that stuff automatically means you’re a straight up evil person, and that prejudice…

Quick let's erase all trace of this naughty person from history. That's the best action to take!

Yup.

I don’t begrudge them in the least for trying to tie off loose ends, but there’s a difference between, “This is going to be a climactic, significant third act,” and, “Fuck. We forgot to address half this stuff. Quick, shove it all in and talk about Darkness—and make it redemptive—and maybe throw in some stuff…

...and patch in a final third that doesn’t try to cram an entire game’s worth of narrative development into the space of about four hours of game play?

Personally, I think the whole thing is asinine to begin with. Who cares if the ending is put on Youtube 5 days before the game launches or 5 days after? I don’t see this as any different from DRM. Yeah, it might stop piracy for a day or 2 but the game will end up being pirated eventually. Why put all of that work into…

“Because of what happened, the risks for a simultaneous worldwide release are high, for any games that I work on henceforth, currently I cannot help but reconsider a simultaneous worldwide release for at the very least the retail package version.”

Consider the source:

OK. I thought we had moved on from all the political stuff and generally both acknowledged that, yes, The Last Jedi was not a good film, and that hardcore Star Wars fans are the worst. Laura Dern is fine in it but her conflict with Oscar Isaac is an idiot plot that feels forced and -after the reveal- borderline…

Because it’s been presented extensively in media for thousands of years, as this article points out. Not only that, but most if not all modern societies still consider men to be the primary engines of combat and war, for reasons that are primarily biological/physical in origin.
