It might have been nice to have a side-mission where Spidey has to exonerate the victim of a false arrest or expose police corruption. The game would still be using bad apples to tip-toe around the question of systemic bias, but it would be a reminder of the holes in the game’s idealized version of NYC.

If she wins it’ll just increase the polarization that is already the major problem with the House of Representatives, which is absolutely the last thing the government, let alone the country, needs.

I’m not sure if you intended it this way, but it sounds here like you’re more concerned with protecting the reputation of the abuser than supporting the victim.

This is the saddest thing.

Yeah! It’s sad, in my friend’s case, his co-worker was saying she just felt so overworked and she didn’t have enough time to really write the things she was supposed to be writing, and that was her excuse, and she had completely justified it to herself. That was wild to me.

Miucin has decided to follow the undergraduate plagiarism playbook yet again: “Whoa, professor, I agree that this looks bad, but I have absolutely no idea how this happened. Maybe there just aren’t very many original things to say about [classic novel].”

Anyone who generalizes the action of one video game reviewer to the entire community/industry is a moron and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

It’s probably plagiarism in the end, but it’s worth noting that “fast, fluid, and responsive,” and talking about how “rewarding” or “gratifying” an experience happens to be, are core cliches of modern games criticism.

While these modders are at it, maybe those big red letters that Souls players know so well should say “you tried.”

MJ might be the greatest of all time, but Jesus CHRIST he is such a pussy.

Jordon must be taking his retirement pretty fucking seriously if he won’t dunk on Trump for this dumb-ass tweet.

An 11 year old can be readily forgiven for not knowing the the greatest Western of all time is the Sergio Leone/Ennio Morricone masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West, followed very closely by Unforgiven.

To be fair (I guess?), if it weren’t for crazy over-paranoid puzzle solvers, we wouldn’t have awesome stories like the Binding of Isaac ARG hunt, or the hunt for Frog Fractions 2. Those two hunts in particular still blow my mind.

You have to hand it to these guys. When the easter eggs in the game aren’t good enough, they will engage in some kind of steganographic vision-quest until they half-discover and half-hallucinate a secret that seems special enough to sate their oversized commitment to finding it.

For what it’s worth, No Man’s Sky at the very least didn’t coerce players for money just to see a final product.

They haven’t added a stretchgoal since 2014. And most of those are little things like giving the player a towel(as in Hitchhiker’s Guide) because they didn’t want to push the scope further every single million just for the sake of doing it.

If they never release the game, they can keep selling the dreams forever.

“They didn’t just figure out how to sell DLC for a game that didn’t yet exist,” he said. “They figured out how to sell scope creep itself.”

Aw, crap. I was hoping this one would recapture that Blood Dragon feeling, but it sounds like the setting is a crutch for some unimaginative gameplay.

But again, to be clear, just because Price has and did face harassment doesn’t mean she’s allowed to lash out at someone who was very clearly not harassing her. I don’t really understand why their seems to be a sentiment at Kotaku that this wasn’t that bad, and I believe O’Brien when he says that he would’ve…
