“I can’t even begin to process what it would mean to lack styles specifically coded as boyish in Splatoon 3.”

Good. The charging network and charging cable/connector is something Tesla did right.

I really don’t understand how the other chargers are so seemingly fragile. Why are they broken so often? We’ve traveled with our Tesla for months now and have encountered exactly 1 Tesla charging station that was broken (there were…

https://electric.co produced a pretty compelling illustration comparing Tesla’s non-standard-but-most-widely-implemented NACS plug (black) in size vs. CCS (gray).

Well look at that, an indirect question about insulting someone directly, not much better than sarcasm. and I wouldn’t mind because I’m neither. 

I just hate that people needs to be represented on a game or anywhere, that takes so much out of what a writer o creator can and could do. We know a lot of this decision are market research and what’s “in” now.

It’s still one of my favorite games. I seem to remember seeing some people not liking the gameplay, but as someone who doesn’t play many first person shooters, it seemed fine to me. I loved the setting and the storyline, and I still watch playthroughs of the game from time to time, just to see other people enjoying…

There were two common criticisms of Infinite: it was much more linear and scripted than the previous games and some people really didn’t like that the Vox ended up being villains.

“Bioshock Infinite isn’t a great game...”

I dunno, the impression this article gives me is you didn’t really have a problem with the content until you realized A.I was involved.

Pardonne moi, Maître. Forgive this worm’s low understanding of Art.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that you both highlight crap studio choices and go to bat for human creators. However, I (seemingly) disagree with you on the “big picture”.

It was likely Amazon

Given Amazon announced they were working on a LOTR MMO, I’m actually inclined to believe it was them.

I’d honestly put it on Amazon if I had to venture a guess. They’re more than happy to support something until they don’t, much like Google. MS pulling out of gaming deal seems less likely since they’re so desperate for an exclusive hit. Doubt Sony would even sniff around Embracer.

“BMI had J-shaped associations with overall mortality and most specific causes of death; for mental and behavioural, neurological, and external causes, lower BMI was associated with increased mortality risk.”
Being bigger makes you die…

I think it’s fair to identify a portrayal as overly tropey, especially when those tropes are grounded in attitudes towards people that can be harmful.

But also like... “seek to connect body size, mortality and food”? Those things... are very much connected. More food makes you bigger. Bigger people die faster. Those…

I’m reminded of when Kotaku took it upon themselves to report that there was “increasing concern” about Seth Rogan and then linked back to their own article about how Rogan had told Illumination he wasn’t going to do a voice BEFORE they hired him as DK.

I’m not sure what universe you're living in, but a 58% on rotten tomatoes is hardly "thoroughly panned." In fact, it's almost fresh. 

58% rottentomatoes score isn’t “thoroughly panned.” it’s just 2% shy of a positive rating, and means that more than half of the reviewers rating on its merits as a film have given it a positive recommendation.

>I was doing the same shit that any other player was doing, I was just walking using a keyboard instead of legs, in areas that I’d never get to visit, with an actual active game to play.
