I’d just like to point out that the majority of Thai people don’t even celebrate Lunar New Year. People who are saying they should’ve put the costume on the  Thai character are kinda wrong too to assume every Asian celebrates Lunar New Year and should even be considered in all of this at all.

This is such a terminally online take. The notion of bottling up each individual culture such that everyone stays in their respective lanes and culture can only be expressed or shared if someone has the exact same skin tone and nation-state lineage as you is so fucking backwards.

If people have issues with the…

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

Pretty sure the crowded Graffiti streets is the World Famous Wynwood Walls

2025 whew lad. Figured it would be by next holiday season... it’s gonna be a long wait lol.

2023 Larian are the gift that just keep on giving. The last time I remember a dev giving a post-release post-game epilogue from fan feedback was Mass Effect 3 and I recall it being a “Please, leave us alone” kind of gesture to get people to stop complaining - With Larian I get the impression they really are just sat…

Every day visiting the AVClub is like opening the Dead Dove: Do Not Eat bag, but the dissonance between the headline implying the video’s faked and the disdain towards people expressing the same opinion confuses the heck outta me. Like there are so many layers of snark and irony slapped on top of one another I have…

gotta be the same guys who made a weird knife (?) out of the silloutette of a death star from a certain angle that had crashed like 10-15 years earlier.

I agree. I particularly don’t understand the depiction of the New Republic in these post-RotJ series. It’s somehow more corrupt and ineffectual than the old Republic- sometimes even actively antagonistic- and we never really get a clear sense of why. I know we need to work toward the stupid return of rebel v. empire…

Phantom Menace: Sorry, heroes, we’d love to help with your urgent problem, but we’re politicians and bureaucracy just gets in the way. Oops.

Rogue One: Sorry, heroes, we’d love to help with your urgent problem, but we’re politicians and bureaucracy just gets in the way. Oops.

The Force Awakens: Sorry,…

The star wars properties have spent more time trying to explain and retcon their crappy sequels than how long the movies actually were. It is actually a monument to how terrible the sequels are that they have to spend sooo much time explaining basic stuff in those movies now they are over instead of actually doing it…

Man, Kinja’s crumbling like the House of Usher the past few days. Guess we have to use manual quote marks like goddamn savages now.

That’s a fair criticism. I tried the cartoons. They weren’t for me, especially the Rebels one. Even without all the backstory I was still able to more or less follow along with this, but I completely understand those who had a hard time. I figured maybe they would elaborate further in later episodes and the more vague…

It’s stunning how the user experience on this site gets worse and worse by the week. When I pull this page up on my phone, it reloads constantly (often in the middle of writing a comment, wiping out my progress), links to articles open external affiliates in new tabs instead of the article, videos play with sound…

I read a story about a recreational rider who was at a work conference back in the 2000's and met another rider from Austin. He asked the Texan if he knew Armstrong, had seem him around on his bike etc. The guy said there are two kinds of people in Austin- those who think he’s a hero and those who’ve met him. There’s…

As everyone knows, when it comes to caring about fairness in sports, the number one name is... Lance Armstrong. Next to great respecter of women...OJ Simpson.

Photoshop guru here. I’m sure there was a billboard (most likely with indecipherable AI text on it) on the side of the yellow building. The lazy way to fix that is by box selecting a section above or below the billboard (including a piece of palm tree) and stretching it to cover the entire side. This not only causes…

To me the most amusing thing is when they complain that some change in the code has made it impossible to figure out how to reproduce the same thing they were “making” before. Almost as though they have no hand in making it at all..

The masculine urge to run one’s fingers through wheat fields

So much lovingly touching grain.
