That’s what I took from it. As someone that does a lot of “mercenary” writing work, I found his behavior particularly distasteful. He may be co-author, but he’s devaluing the contribution of his co-author who got actual billing on the cover. He may say he doesnt care about being on the cover, but his behavior says…

I can’t tell if I’ve way misunderstood Captain Proton’s post or you have.

Which is kind of weird because I don’t think it’s particularly strange for women to refer to groups of old friends as “the girls” or “the ladies” or something. I refer to my friends from high school as simply “the girls” all the time.

That’s all I can wear. Anything without underwire does absolutely nothing and makes exercise a painful experience. I’m glad there are a range of styles!

Yeah, I mean I blame my fellow millenials for a lot, but I dont think this is one of those things on millenials alone. Netflix is struggling now that studios are refusing to license out movies and shows because they are going to start their own streaming services. I’m guessing that even if they can get the rights to…

I think the timeline is still a bit hazy.

Trademark, actually. Copyright doesn’t have that problem of losing it due to it becoming genericized or something, which is the crux of the trademark issue.

My brother is a paramedic, and that’s what he always tells me—doctors and nurses may blow you off because they are human beings and humans are fallible, so you need to insist on it yourself. Be the pain in the ass until they finally do something. I’m so glad that you pushed until they took you seriously.

No, but the voluntary self-regulation the industry does through the ESRB to avoid regulation does. When I worked at Gamestop it was driven into us that we needed to ask for ID for M games if they didn’t appear old enough to buy it. I’m sure not all stores take it as seriously, but we sure did. This was to avoid…

No, it means you are losing less than you would have otherwise. I’m assuming this means if you play well but your team still loses, you don’t lose as much SR as you would have if you played poorly.

Yeah now that the Bayos have been announced, Tropical Freeze is my most wanted Switch port. That was an excellent game and now more people could actually play it on a system people are buying.

Horizon is my game of the year, personally, but I can see how Breath of the Wild took it.  Neither one “reinvented” the open world, and I don’t think they needed to. Both were incredibly polished, vibrant worlds that were very fun to explore. Horizon is the most enduring of the two for me, but if you have a higher…

It’s an excellent goal, but depending on where someone is in their career and the geographic location, it’s not realistic for everyone. I make decent money now, but I didnt for a long time after graduating law school—between house, car, utilities, groceries, student loans, etc., plus unexpected major expenses that…

32D and I can find it reliably at Nordstrom and that’s about it.

I think I get where you are coming from, but there are plenty of reasons to be cautious. Im speaking from the perspective of an attorney that knows full well the law hasnt caught up. The concern is how the data will be used. Police officers have used the databases to find matches and gone after innocent people based…

I vote in every election, local and federal, and I don’t believe that this really is America finished—not yet anyway. But if I got an offer to go elsewhere for a while, I’d take it in a heartbeat.

I had this conversation once during the election with someone ranting about Hillary re: guns and marijuana legalization. A friend of my aunt’s was saying “and what proof is there it even cures cancer, you know?” To which my thoroughly nonplussed reaponse was “None? Marijuana is for treating the pain and nausea…

Yeah, if I were writing in for advice, it would really just be to crowdsource from the comments—a lot of the commenters here are very thoughtful. On the other hand, why wait for this column when you can just post on Saturday Night Social!

If those are actually the conditions you are working in, you should unionize.

It’s not always credit cards. Kids can go to the local supermarket or best buy and put cash on a visa gift card or buy game specific cash cards and use those. This kid said he got a second job to fund his addiction—for at least some of it he was using money he earned. He says his parents tried to limit it, and he…
