While I find the smug justifications of veganism to be incredibly tiresome and the science behind it being better unmitigated garbage, we should acknowledge that some societies have vegan traditions going back thousands of years, here.

Heh. Clever, I like that.

If I know Mary Worth, this ain’t gonna end well.

To be fair we’re dealing with three very different corporate philosophies here. Nintendo is exceptionally conservative: Their business model is about taking cheap parts that already exist and refining a great product out of them; it’s why they’re always last to market in any business but absolutely murder the…

It’s also somewhat torpedoed by the fact that you can run Linux-based platforms OVER Windows 10 in the Anniversary Update. So basically you can carve MS out of your gaming experience entirely if you really want.

It seems pretty obvious that the “distance” is “in-game” distance, not real world movement. Combine that with the fact that it’s not very good at checking GPS and you probably lose a lot of distance.”

Without an analysis of their home life and other circumstances it’d be pretty pointless, TBH. The entire problem with “VIDEO GAMES CAUSE X” is that it basically assumes that a kid being handed a violent video game is the cause of the problem, not the symptom of the problem. If a kid is using threatening language,…

Sure, but no gamer is saying they should. So what’s the point of even bringing it up?

It’s a stupid belief that has powerful friends. In the wake of Sandy Hook, Wayne LaPierre, head of the NRA, got up in front of reporters and blamed, no kidding, Mortal Kombat for the shootings of children.

Also, unfortunately, Bushman is suspect.

Yeah, but that sounds like a twee British children’s book. A Court of Owls is way scarier.

It’s really during the summer than Sony’s heavy, heavy investment in indie games becomes apparently.

I dunno, in the grand scheme of things, if Twitch is OK with games where you gorily blow demons apart with a shotgun, some man-on-man ass-slapping should seem pretty tame.

There’s a genuinely interesting breakout that of course I can’t fucking find now that looked at blue-collar white Democrats and found them overwhelmingly for Hillary.

I don’t buy Trump doing anything that might be interpreted as a “submissive” act (I don’t believe this about oral, but Trump’s an asshole, sooooo...)

Not gonna happen. People forget that Universal’s exposure here was minimal. The majority of this movie’s funding came from China, and Universal did little more than throw it into theaters. If you look at the producer credits, the majority of them are either Blizzard execs or Hollywood execs with ties to Chinese money.

I’m sure the day-one DLC didn’t help, but the fact that every online-multiplayer-only game has come out, struggled, and the sequels all have single player modes if they didn’t before (Titanfall for example) says it all.

Meh, all the bootleg sports merch in Boston is green anyway. Or pink. Side, note, I hope whoever invented the term “pink hat” is tarred and feathered in Hell by Yawkey.

This kind of animal rights activism is what white people do when they want to get the high of protesting without any of that icky listening to or supporting non-white people.

Well, not surprising, the creative team behind Archer started out with Sealab.
