And that is a much worse card to balance. Firstly, it means either the card is calculating from the cards that were in the deck at any point in the game, at the beginning of the game, or in the deck currently. The last of those is the most painful, since it means later draws can possibly be worthless. But in all three…

Of course. Because we all know how often we have confused the delicious wheat jigaboos and fresh baked wetbacks from the local bakery with those awful, obscure racial terms.

Their tagline: Separate, but Equitable.

Don’t worry, text-based adventure games, someday you’ll get ye flask.

That’s the most wonderful irony of the Christian faith, in my experience: so many Christians can be incredibly critical about how bad people are, and how a lack of God means a lack of real punishment... while the entire sales pitch of Christianity is that any* sin is potentially forgivable by God through Jesus, so…

The lowercase ‘a’ team?

So they’ve started a Steaming Mad Workshop? Genius, I say!

Actually, it seems even worse than that. A lot of the characters that worked which he created didn't really get big until others fixed the formulas. In many ways, Stan Lee gets outsized credit for being there right in a transformative period, and I think his later works show that he's not really all that great a…

I recall him saying that basically he's been dinged enough by developers that he can't monetize his videos with ads on YouTube any more, hence his push for Patreon.

Appropriate.

Honestly, what's had a bigger effect on the fighting game genre is the divide between the casual "button masher" player and the technical proficiency needed to play at a more competitive level. As the learning curve rises just to reach a baseline competency, the fanbase has evaporated. The relative simplicity of the…

It's the power of the bubbleverse. So many people live in insular communities online and off that they can forget that the rest of the world doesn't naturally fall in line with their beliefs, and so it's easy to just let out things into your bubble that can happen to permeate it and get you in trouble.

Yeah, that's what the livestock is for! D:

Perhaps, but that way lies the dark side of Force. And we're not taking no Sith here.

If this works for LoL, I can imagine them going AWS with it, and offering access to their custom pipeline for other games and similar low-latency demanding services.

Their own intranet (extranet?) =/= the Internet, but tag noted.

"Hey, mistuh Timbuhlake. I got you something. I wanted to bwing sexy back to you."

I've legitimately been thrown off once by a crouching sniper spray. More often by inconveniently placed huntsman ragdolls on walls so it looks like there's totally someone active there.

I am reminded of a similar sort of thing that comes up with people who are into historical war gaming, where it can be challenging to appreciate things like German military strategy in WWII without idolizing the Nazi philosophy. I think it's very much possible to appreciate her story as an individual while…

I actually think both sides you mention have actually been at best a poisoned feast as far as pushing any sorts of conversations forward can go. The Gamergate movement is stupid in my mind because it has basically let an anti-feminist screed overwhelm the bigger, more boring conversations about the relationship…
