I’m not playing Destiny 2. I mean, I played Destiny 1. It’s *remarkable*, I mean, from ‘the outside’, how utterly *familiar* this all sounds. I’m sure thats just an uninformed opinion though, I mean, I have no reason to expect Bungie would make the same “mistakes” repeatedly.

A perfect copy *is* the original. If it’s not, then name the difference, prove its not a perfect copy (and thus provide a path towards making one). In the same token, I would argue that you aren’t yourself from moment to moment as there are differences between you now and you then, that you are no longer yourself. If…

Pardon me for saying so, but yes! The obvious choice is Kirk who we can simply say was closeted and whose sexual adventures were an attempt to overcompensate for deeply conflicted feelings about his sexuality, possibly stemming from circumstances surrounding his birth and childhood.

Oh come on, everybody knows that the first law of time travel is that it can do anything necessary to advance the writer’s plots. I don’t need to read 20 sentences of Pegg garbage.

There is nothing wrong with Sulu being gay - if he had been written that way all along. The issue is with ‘remakes’ deciding the original…

“Natural selection is good at creating nasty and highly prolific viruses, but imagine what intentional design could concoct.”

The opposite. Natural selection has had millions of years to experiment and optimize things like immune systems. A couple guys in a wet-lab with CRISPRs aren’t going to figure out how to solve a…

But to forcibly conscript young boys into combat, that’s just peachy.

You have the mag-grip and the accelerated drain climbing? They are almost a prerequisite for the one’s I’ve done successfully.

So... you’ve been waiting years for an opportunity to repost this meme.... right?

Naturally, I don’t care.

I think you are being compleyely dishonest about what I said, which is that people have more of a right to the truth when it allows them to make choices, even if those choices might be bad in the opinion of others who decide they know better what you should know. If the truth does nothing to your scope of freedom who…

Where is this gaming community and who are its leaders?

As opposed to a “possible” delay? In one case I think people have every right to make their own judgments.

Any attempt to restrict the truth ultimately is presuming you know better than the people you are not telling it to. The bigger the truth, the more I am against undermining someone’s right to choose for…

I think those are the cases where the press is obligated to tell people the truth and damn the consequences, and small things like this are the cases where they can exercise as much discretion as they want. One literally is life shattering, and the other is about as trivial as it comes. I have to wonder how we could…

“Does that mean gaming journalism shouldn’t exist, because it doesn’t rise to someone’s subjective standard of importance?”

I don’t think I said it “shouldn’t” exist, but I am allowed to think had this never leaked I would be no worse off, personally. My opinion of humanity would be just as low, and I would have spent…

But on the scale of newsworthy, a two day heads up on something that would be announced anyway, with no details, and burning a lot of good will, bringing out the freaks, ... well ... I mean I guess you have to do those things ‘for journalism’ but this wasn’t exactly the Panama papers and who did the leak do any good…

Being dead can do that to you.

We crave authenticity on teh intarwebs.

Totally ‘shopped. I can see the pixels.

Static testing, statistical sampling, automated tests. They will never be able to guarantee zero bugs, but they will be able to reasonably assure people that they can complete a playthrough. Its not software for a nuclear power plant, it just has to not crash enough that most players don’t run into issues. They could…

No, they are found in the environment. I play a deprived - and take no gift.
