You assume they’re shooting to kill and not to maim and inflict maximum suffering before expiration. Given the people involved in these states, that is a bad assumption to make. For the people making these decisions, cruelty IS the point. The WHOLE point. The ONLY point.

Or that! That could be fun, too.

Alien Isolation is easily one of my more favored games released any time recently. As I said in my Steam review, it is a perfect recreation of the Alien movie in video-game form, capturing all the right beats, the tension and dread. Honestly, I don’t think anything could improve the experience, because it’s already as…

I realized how, after having said that, the underlying gameplay mechanics could actually be fun. Renaissance Saints Row?

So we can expect fast mounts and high-speed carriage chases, yeah?

Once again proving that all the cries about vote fraud from Republicans is just projection. Because clearly if they HAVE to cheat to stay in power, then everyone else must cheating even MORE. Nothing else makes sense (to them). They’ll find the evidence of it, too. Any day now. Just you wait. Yup...any day now....

Blizzard owns the brand name for Diablo in the same way Apple owns the brand name for Apple — only for that specific use case. This use of Diablo is for a character name in a completely unrelated medium and genre, not the cartoon’s brand name, which is Housebroken, and that makes Blizzard’s ownership of Diablo…

It’s almost as if ALL cases should be reevaluated by independent third parties after trials conclude on a regular basis, and in the case of capital crimes, before permanent sentences (ie executions) are carried out. And not only should they have the power and authority to do so, they should also have the power and…

You’re more optimistic than me -- I see this as being a “Kinda but not really” sort of thing. Because who gets to decide which protesters are ‘peaceful’ and which ones aren’t? Yeah, exactly. The same police officers.

Adobe did something similar through the education system, turning it into the software powerhouse that it is now. Granted, that took at least a decade to really get its root in so deep that its products were intertwined with every industry remotely related to its software.

I suspect Sweeney is thinking longer-term than a year or five. He looks like he’s building a community hub for creativity-driven individuals...all of it centered on how it can all feed back into Unreal engine. And if that’s the case, this purchase makes a whole lot of sense.

To those who are accustomed to oppressing others, forcing equality upon them seems like oppression.

There are some very prominent instances where this is *NOT* the case, but I suppose they’re examples that prove the rule.

Well, for certain, we should probably stop arming local law enforcement agencies with military hardware. If you equip people with weapons of war, they’re going to act like they’re fighting a war.

Three options were presented. All of them were white. ALL OF THEM. They are forcing a choice on players ALREADY by refusing to acknowledge any other ethnicity but white. And it’s not as if they couldn’t have easily sidestepped this — one could have been black. Or asian. Or hispanic or latino. Or Middle-eastern. But…

Such edgy! So wow!

This touches on one of the longest-standing and thorniest issues of civilization: defining the ‘worth’ of someone’s contributions (be it an individual, a small group, or a large organization), the ‘value’ of the time for each person involved. Is what Microsoft’s storefront offers to developers and publishers ‘worth’…

The desperation, insanity, and depravity coming off the GOP is like the reek of a rotting corpse that’s been left in the scorching summer sun for a couple days. Which isn’t really a fair comparison if you think about it — a rotting corpse decomposes into something useful for the environment. The GOP is nothing but…

And Republicans are like, “All we care about are rich white people. This help the poor and people who aren’t white, so we’re against it. Especially since Democrats are proposing it.”

If a black man broke into a white woman’s apartment, refused to leave, got violent, and killed the woman, would there be any question as to what would follow?? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
