I feel we’re gonna have tiered checkmarks soon.

The U.A.E. does have oil, but less than some other countries in the area. They get about a quarter of their income from it, but they also are a big air hub, business and banking center, and they get a lot from tourism. I don’t know what the state of it is now, but they have in the past put a lot into some big solar…

At the end of the day, GTA Online just feels like a last-gen gameplay loop.

I realize I am in the minority, but I can’t stand GTA online. For me, the game is the single player story. Those who feel like I do were let down by Rockstar because they added nothing to the single player experience.

I guess that’s where the money is, but playing GTA Online was one of the worst experiences I have had…

Any male, and I mean ANY, should not be shamed, bullied, etc. in any way for taking paternity leave. In fact, any male with a new baby at home should demand paternity leave. They should demand paternity leave that at least matches that offered to the females at the organization, and ideally both parents should demand…

The “-ussy” suffix

As someone who spends his entire free time online, including twitch and reddit, I’ve never heard this term.  Seems like they pulled this one out of thin air.

The “-ussy” suffix is a callback to the word “pussy” and has exploded on the Internet in recent years.

I can’t believe I’m the first one in with, “People still play Destiny?”

THANK YOU she was fucking terrible in Mandalorian, it’s mind-boggling that anybody wanted her to lead a series.

i know she’s a Bad Person, but we don’t talk enough about how, almost more importantly, she’s a Bad Actress. i’m so fucking glad i don’t have to see her in star wars anymore.

The delicious irony that even after getting in bed with right wing detritus, her new audience still thinks her too “woke” for their blood. 

The issue isn’t the size, its that what makes up that size is boring, repetitive, and tedious. I haven’t played Valhalla, but in Odyssey the desire to explore died for me very early, because there was never anything interesting to find. Its just icon chasing.

Cue Monty Python’s “ every sperm is sacred” song.

“unborn life:” pretty sure that is not possible for placental vertebrate mammals. 

Absolutely beautiful. Well done.  

I expect this to be like the 40+ votes to repeal Obamacare. It’s all performative.

It’s weird how, as far as my admittedly fuzzy memory goes, every single article I read about this game before it came out was about how annoying it looked and nobody asked for it, but since it came out, every article about the game has been about how it’s actually kinda… great? Been a while since I’ve seen a game with…

When I was in DC, I asked some conservative with a boner for Reagan why his party kept using songs from artists who either hated the GOP and/or had lyrics the event planners and crowd clearly misunderstood. I used Born in the USA as an example.
