I used to belong to a Facebook group for the Disneyland parks and had to leave it. I used to love seeing pics of the park from back in the pre-90's, but everything started a fight. People would complain about how the park was so much better back in their day, how the parks today were perverting “Walt’s vision” blah,…

Surprised that there was no link to that fantastic Defunct land video:

Totally agree with you. If the item drops weren’t tuned to be dog shit to push you into the auction house, it wouldn’t have been much of an issue. But they very much were.

Sure, but what do you do if the game developers have decided to balance beating particular challenges around the assumption that you’re outfitted with $500 blues?  Just accept that you’re never going to play that part of the game?

Funny they said that. Back when Wrath of the Lich King launched, it advertised “Dance Studio” and “Path of the Titans” on the box.

Guess what wasn’t in (and never made it into) the game?

I call BS.

The problem is that an offline mode requires the entire game to be exposed on a local machine. Always online allows portion of the code to be server only, making hacks MUCH more difficult.

Blues were going for $500

I worked gaming retail and it would not have been the first time we got sent a roll of stickers and told to smack them over some writing on a box. More then likely Blizzard thought it would make money eventually so they kept in it and gave the devs the “legal” excuse

I’m saying this with peace ‘n love, in a totally non-victim-blaming way:
Shut up, kid.

Yeah, and Bill Cosby got out of prison. You think I give a fuck about the judgments of the US legal system?

It may not be an exoneration, but a 90 minute defense verdict is a pretty good indication that the evidence in this case wasn’t all that strong. 

“Bringing this lawsuit was always about shining a light...

I’m not sure if the crudeness automatically makes it harassment, but in the anti-harassment training I took for work, it was stated that asking out someone once was okay and it only becomes harassment if you keep it up after the “no”.

Honestly, the story of an A-list celebrity crudely propositioning a woman who didn’t work for him and immediately taking no for an answer is borderline wholesome on the sliding scale of Hollywood.

In all honestly the game should have never launched on last gen, the issue wasn’t really the game but limitations of hardware.

Yeah, it’s def not a living city. And I’m not positive I’d call it a well constructed RPG, but that second point is more debatable than the first.

it’s a well-constructed rpg with gorgeous art and a living city.

As a lifelong Democrat can I just say that the liberal bias in media has grown beyond tiresome. Roughly 50% of the US population is conservative. Conservatism includes a large swath of beliefs and opinions and yet anyone who so much as questions the most progressive views is instantly labeled a MAGA Nazi. Whatever…

Harassing him over who you think he voted for and for the Church he goes to is psychotic. I was raised Hasidic Jew and my wife a Columbian Catholic family both of us experienced homophobia just us much from none religious people as religious. The fact that we keep vilifying select people for their religious beliefs…
