i always feel like these exploits that circumvent gameplay should be canaries in the coal mines of “why are players not wanting to do this thing that we’ve designed?” for game developers.

As rundown as Utica may be, they still know how to make a mean steamed ham. 

Bianca Devins is from Utica, Brandon Clark is from Cicero. It’s a fucked up, drug-heavy, and deeply misogynist piece of the earth. (As a side note, Utica looks like it’s the set of a post-apocalyptic film.) There’s a great deal of domestic violence in Western New York. One of my colleagues and her preteen daughter…

Who gives a fuck about these cunts?

Gosh, you are so brave sitting there typing that out. I am truly impressed and not at all laughing at yet another keyboard warrior who will do absolutely nothing they have just typed that they would.

Your mom ain’t bad for an old broad.

Was it glorious?

He did apologize to the woman the next day, as soon as she said what a bummer it was for her.

I got sucked through a toilet hole once.

I am actually very curious how someone in Ansari’s position could really own up or say something that would really appease us. It just seems like someone in this position is relatively doomed (rightfully or wrongfully—I’m not making a judgement on that): anything he said would probably have not been enough. And that’s…

It’s a comedy special, not a memoir, and a pretty funny one at that. He the public no further explanation or reflection in that forum. 

Did you forget the difference between reality and movies? 

Uhhhh. This isn't a movie. 

Suicide. Is there a shortcut this guy won’t take?

The simple truth is that you’re not a relevant segment in the equation as long as you don’t stream or upload your gameplay.

Hell in today’s climate I would’ve even accepted: “We have developers to feed, that gets harder to do if our game is…

I will say that the new Felstalker is much more thematically appropriate for its card effect than a Succubus.

IT seems very odd to me that anyone would look at a fighting game, on purpose or just because you happen to be a fan of it, as something to find out things about their own sexuality. It would seem to me something like a RPG or MMORPG or something that get’s you more emotionally involved in the characters and story…

Thanks for sharing. I feel like I don’t relate to video game characters much at all, but most of them are straight burly white dudes, so I probably just don’t think about it much. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to finally feel like you get representation in a series you enjoy and then have it be…

Thanks for writing this. Looking back on it, seeing Pedro on the show was the real lynchpin that started my climb from dyed in the wool conservative Republican (grew up with it, Catholic school indoctrination) to the extremely, um, passionate Progressive I am today. Prior to seeing Pedro, all I knew of homosexuals…
