Yeah...that’s not even remotely true. It’s not an ageist slur. Boomer is a stand-in for ideological entrenchment. No one cares even remotely whether you’re 20 or 200. Boomer mentality is simply about being as wilfully myopic as humanly possible in regards to how your personal greed and insatiable desire to protect…
Wait, so it’s a Millenial response to Baby Boomers? So X’ers get to just sit on the sidelines with popcorn and enjoy? I’m all in!
The problem is power creep. Think about what happens if they just allow broken builds to completely trivialize content when compared to all the other builds.
“I will not be a smiling face on camera that tacitly endorses this decision.”
I really like the way he put this.
When I try to explain the concept in my Rhet/Comp courses, I say, “In creative writing, you’ll sometimes see this in authors who do not understand how to finish a sentence... As if a complete thought is too mainstream... Because saying all of what you think is gauche...”
It tends to get the point across.
I’ve taken to…
I absolutely adored Xenogears when it launched (I was sixteen at the time, and right at the age for the peak melodrama and quasi-religiosity of the thing), but it definitely sowed a bad habit of using ellipses in dialogue in me as a young writer.
Now, years later, I have to actively discourage it in my Rhet/Comp…
If my child stopped playing video games and started going to church, I would be very concerned.
Nor should they expect it. I agree it’s a bad idea and not what i want. What will i do with this turn of events? Not play it and maybe check out Path of Exile. This Gamers Rise Up bullshit is just embarrassing. They don’t care how angry you rage on reddit. They care if they don’t make money on it. No amount of reddit…
EVE Online continues to hold the belt for the “Game I love reading about but would never ever consider playing for myself” title.
The original aesthetic arose out of the rapid pace of new technological development, and it envisioned things that didn’t yet exist, and that people had never really thought about before.
Yeah. But you don’t want someone from another culture walking up to Americans and tossing around the N-word. That could end poorly- particularly if they’re speaking to an African American. I’m not saying the whole world has to be educated on the intricacies of American slang and offensive speech, but on an individual…
Oh, so THIS is the movie this year’s it-makes-you-cool-if-you-bash-it for this year. I agree it likely will be an OK CGI fest. But I have never gotten and will still never get this whole rush to bash the book and/or movie as if to get approval from the geek-cred-police. The book was obviously enjoyable to a great many…
When they DO get shut down don’t they feel bad that they’re dying all the time or have they not been able to realize that it’s THEIR fault for dying all the time?
Same thing goes for PUBG and the most human-shaped bushes I’ve ever seen in my life.
those butterflies and flying pieces of paper in pubg.. man. got me so many times.
Forget the PC.
Heaven forfend! They used a portion of today’s internet ration to discuss a wildly popular game! Now how will they report on one of those common Friday evening gaming news stories since they’ve used up all the internet? And then they forced you to click and read it! It’s tragic.
