I made this exact comment to my wife while watching the second episode... but as a joke. We both had a good laugh.

*spoiler (I guess)*

Tess was the bad cop in the game, not Joel.

Threats or threats of force, i.e. coercion, is violence. Most of Europe don’t have statutory rape laws and the age of consent is 13/14 or non existent.

You can train a computer to be smart but you can’t train it to be stupid. And that is why we win. 

What you’re starting to see is that pissing people off causes more engagement than making people happy. This is how social media works now and also gaming “journalism.”

I don’t quite know where you got the “Kotaku lost its journalistic integrity since Jason Schreier left” from, especially since it’s the same person who wrote this 50 word “criticism” 10 years ago now: https://kotaku.com/game-developers-really-need-to-stop-letting-teenage-boy-472724616

Sadly I have to agree with you about Troy’s public persona, like many who achieve celebrity he suddenly couldn’t stop the flow of pretentious drivel from escaping his lips. I will however strongly disagree that he does not deserve his status as a fine VA, his range and the scope of his roles is diverse (Joel, The…

To each his own, but Troy literally won Best Voice Actor for that performance.

TLOU performances were motion captured by the voice actors themselves, which is one of the reasons they are so great and naturalistic. Of course, facial animations in games can’t yet compete with the nuance of live action emoting, though TLOU1 remake and TLOU2 are excellent in this regard. Anyway, I totally agree that…

It seems a bit unfair to compare Troy Baker’s performance with Pedro Pascal’s. In the show, Pedro has...his whole body to act with? Or are you including 2013 animation (which was quite good, but not exactly human) as part of the “performance”?

It’s not just behavior. It’s biology too. Nature *and* nurture both will drive a generational trend in BMI, especially down the maternal line, because how well fed your mother is during pregnancy affects how your body processes food and stores fat for your entire life — which, if you’re female, will also affect how…

Do you want Lorem to fuck you or something?  You saw an example of him being a misogynist, him defending a conservative anti-abortion judge, and somehow decided that his defending of an anti-abortion judge made him appear pro-choice.

Yep, the owners of G/O Media, Facebook, and desktop computer manufacturers/Apple/Samsung/etc are definitely pushing the boundaries of our society accepting fascism on their own service platforms while spreading misinformation online that targets individuals in the same way that Musk has been doing. Oh, wait, sorry,…

Proper chefs lure in their foes and detractors in a murder/suicide plan at a restaurant on a remote island.

“No need for him to be publicly pilloried, let him do the work and become a better person. But also, maybe folks shouldn’t be drooling all over him right now either?”

So did you find me defending Elon Musk?

Bbecause they are good and entertaining, and if we boycotted movies, music, etc, based upon the opinions and beliefs of the people involved, we would live in silence and have nothing left to watch?

I read the results on that and am just too dumb to understand them.
Does “weight regain” mean failure or just that they gained some of the weight that they lost?

Ah yes, the evil boogeymen of the American Academy of Pediatrics.  Follow the money, sheeple.

I’m not, because cheaper, less aggressive interventions haven’t been working and allowing obese children to become obese adults costs more in the long run. A lot more.
