Well... that’s one way to turn a 20hr game in to a 30hr game.

Hey, Gingers are an extreme minority (1-2% of the world population). They deserve representation too.

This game doesn’t have a single Ewok or a trip to Endor (that I’ve seen, so far) but there are a bunch of overt references to the Ewoks movie. Big segments of the game involve witches using the force in bizarre ways... there is a late-game dramatic-pond-reflection scene... super nostalgic for someone like me that…

It is a bit silly... but... to be fair.. there is rarely a guarantee of immediate collapse when you remove support beams in tunnel.

Commenters on 2ch certainly have opinions about this, saying that Famitsu’s articles and reviews are already merely PR or that this situation makes them feel uneasy or gross.

Isn’t that a case where they toned it down in post? I seem to recall that most of the reaction to that film were based on some early stills where they didn’t have it quite right. They mostly fixed the problem, but the meme was set in motion.

The point that I was going for is that the effective forms of torture/interrogation/whatever are rarely shown in popular culture. What we see instead is stuff like waterboarding, shooting someone in the leg, burning them, basically variations on “hurt them until they talk”, because its something that can be done in a…

Because that impulse of “We need to do something, this is something, therefore we should do it” is something that is called out too infrequently, and a piece of mass-media pop-culture is the perfect place to explore that a bit.

Getting useful information is about creating a new reality for the interrogation subject with no hope of escape or freedom. You control every aspect of their world: how they eat, where they sleep, even whether it’s day or night. When it’s time to ask questions, you want them disoriented, anxious, wondering who you…

Simplistic takes on complicated subjects deserve to be called out, if only because there’s more compelling questions layered underneath.

“You draw the line wherever you need it,” Captain Price says at one point. “We get dirty, and the world stays clean.”

I realized, too late, that my save was bugged and the game thought Parvati had died. She didn’t. She is chilling on my ship and happily travels with me on adventures (which is why I didn’t notice the bug sooner). I would have to backtrack about 10 hours of gameplay (or about 3,000 looted containers and several hundred…

In short, unless tube sites are willing to make compromises around the ease of uploading videos, it’s questionable how effective they will be at preventing the proliferation of nonconsensual porn.

The statistics are less clear than you are implying. They are messy and what was true about a set of data yesterday can be overturned by a new (also valid) analysis brought up today.

It’s a dodge.

If it were, I imagine you’d be seeing an awful lot of classical paintings and sculptures covered up or hidden behind age-check verification procedures; nobody seems to worry about “the kids” entering the Louvre, after all.

It is relevant that in the years since that comment was made that no one has made a solid case for why it isn’t just safer for him to avoid collaborations with female streamers. Years have gone by since this barely made the news and we’ll probably have largely forgotten about this minor resurgence by tomorrow (the few…

Caviness has been receiving a barrage of hate for pointing out Blevins’ 2018 statement. Among thousands of tweets sent to her over the past 24 hours, some have called her a “retard,” a “bitch,” a “thot” and a “feminazi.” Many of these messages defend Blevins’ decision, saying he did it “out of respect for his wife.”…

*shrug*

I’ve heard the internet is the perfect place for sarcasm!
