I don’t normally elevate greys or invite trolls, but I’m intrigued. Which part of my comment is “Wrong”?

This feels like a rewriting of how this went. There was a good year+ of dog whistling from her, and “The right people” attempting to intervene and quietly talk to her, before her views became subject of larger discussion.

This is not a tenable debate position. It lacks understanding of what the generally accepted definition of a video game RPG is, substituting instead the an impression of what that is. You are, in essence, arguing, “This is what I think an RPG should be.” While human language is a malleable, ever changing mess, the…

It’s not a debate bomb, it’s a stupid thing to say. You are arbitrarily declaring that an RPG is only game that attempts in some way to emulate a TTRPG like Dungeons and Dragons, and have decided to absolutely ignore a HUGE swath of RPGs, such as nearly every single JRPG that doesn’t let you choose a character,…

“They misinterpreted me when I repeatedly promoted organisations that call the very existence of trans women a form of rape, and accused people who simply said ‘Don’t listen to me, I’m just a celebrity’ of being rape apologists with Prophet complexes, and accused people who explicitly said ‘I still own my HP stuff,…

Think the likeliest explanation here is probably that they used another “Total HD Textures Reworked Overhaul Supreme” mod that itself had incorporated, surreptitiously or otherwise, the mod in question. There’s generally a code of conduct around doing such things, but it wouldn’t be the first, second, or third time…

We’ve learnt by now that the infected aren’t aggressive until they feel threatened. They attack to defend themselves. If the victim remains calm, they simply walk up to them and push their tendrils into the victim’s mouth to start the infection. In the episode, the infected were ‘woken’ by, first, an explosion. Then,…

• Ellie and Sam’s enjoyment of games and toys (pun book, Magic Slate, soccer ball) act as meta signifiers in a story that originated as a game.

So you’re telling me the battle in Kansas City, where FEDRA lost, happened like a week before Joel and Ellie showed up? How convenient.

Seriously, where was the padding? The author complains nothing happened in the tunnels but that’s where the characters bonded. It was absolutely essential to the story. Without it there was no point whatsoever. And it was a subversion of expectations after the scene of the bulging floor last week, you definitely…

I’m the first one to call out an episode, or a whole show for being painfully plodding (Mayfair Witches and The Watchful Eye are two shows that I’m rapidly growing impatient with), but, to me, this episode did not feel like it was ‘dawdling’.

I had to stop reading at “episode three was a relatively emotional scenario.”

Why does the existence of trans people upset you so much?

Not at all. The biggest problem with the map is that it was basically just the level map with features removed, as opposed to a guide indicating paths you could take. It happened a lot that some things that looked far away were connected by a rope or something, while things that looked close together were blocked by a…

It felt like the map was working against me; I remember one section where I got tripped up in trying to backtrack via the map, but if I’d looked around the area some environmental clues would’ve revealed a shortcut.

Yes, fewer staticky blue holograms please. There should be a better balance of being faithful to the SW look and actual usability.

If the years since 2016 have taught us anything, it’s that people who identify as tough-guys-with-guns will follow anyone who tells them it’s ok to hurt the people they don’t like, regardless of how effete, soft, or obviously smooth-brained that “leader” might be. 

“I don’t know if Joel and Ellie were ambushed by those guys. They seemed genuinely angry that Joel was firing on them; I think he started it.”

No?  Because first of all the statutes of limitation have probably already run.  Second, how would they go back and prove all this?  Third, were all of them also producers on the film and at least somewhat responsible for safety on the set? Also another commenter says his script didn’t call for pulling the trigger, so…

I understand why devs do it. I am more talking about the players.
