“One of my classmates chose Hitler”

“We forgot that we can sell much of our pre-owned stock of games between now and the holiday shopping season. So we’ll resume the program once we have more money and fewer used games to rent.”

I’ll leapfrog here to say that there’s a line between advocacy and something else. Battlefront II devs were talking about receiving death threats today on Twitter. I get that folks are upset... I’ve been pretty vocal too... but I want to use this as a general opportunity to remind folks to approach these issues…

Good. We need to keep pushing back against this bullshit. We can stop the game industry become this cesspit of shady gambling tactics and micro transactions if we actually try. We need to apply more pressure or they’ll keep pushing the limits of what they can get away with.

“just don’t reward the predatory parts of it that ask for additional money.”

Man, how tacky is this!?

“everyone should be considerate and be alert and careful”

It’s fine that you have to grind for nearly two days to unlock Luke Skywalker, the dude who Star Wars is largely about?

Skins in Overwatch are literally only cosmetic, though, i.e., they don’t give anyone any advantages, like collecting hats IRL.

Except OW doesn’t lock Tracer or Reaper behind a loot crate.

They understand being self aware is a hip thing (it is something I generally give points for, to be completely honest) but aren’t actually savvy enough to pull it off. Being self-aware about one problem you have in yourself/your game is only really endearing when the rest of you/your game reflects learning from that…

This is one of those “lets make some satire about a thing, but then do that thing anyway” sort of situations that loops back around to being..... not funny? Like how is pointing out that you’re trying to fuck people over in your own game a joke?

Yeah, but what’s her take on a 4-3 defensive scheme with Manti Te’o at the Mike?

There’s far too many gender issues in this story than one could unpack in ten lifetimes.

She really doesn’t seem to address the abuse and coercing these women to send naked pictures. A lot of “I felt trapped” but not a lot of “I was really shitty to these people for no discernable reason.”. The deceit isn’t the worst of her actions, but it’s the only one she’s addressing.

This is what I do at parties.

I feel like this is a cry for help in gardening.

So it has just come to my attention that Sia is kind of hot.

I think she has a pretty good ass.

Good. The Richard Spencer/Charles Murray/Breitbart type of racist wants desperately to be cool. Their entire modus operandi is trying to rebrand the image of “racist” from toothless hick into cool pop culture leader. (These guys are all either failed comics, screenwriters, or academics). They want to be Stephen…
