In my case, it’s because Taco Bell stopped selling the spicy chicken burrito.

As someone with MS, my reaction was kind of like if you are going to be insulting, at least be funny and insulting. MS tends to effect quality of life much more than life span. So it’s not even especially clever.

Damn, I’m in to to some fucked up shit, but damn, my aunt has MS, that’s fucked up. Tupac made fun of someone for having sickle cell on Hit Em’ Up, damn.

Drake’s the kind of guy who celebrates 40's genius and says he wouldn’t be here without his help; Pusha’s the kind of guy who mocks a man for having MS. Competition over.

Lots of factual errors in the article

Vacate orders and evictions are Not The Same Thing - eviction comes from a judgement after a case in housing court, vacate orders come from the Department of Buildings.

Vacate orders are open ended - until the property owner corrects the condition that caused the vacate to the…

BTW, is The Root going to talk about this bullshit (“Obama Sucks as a Post-President”) later today? I remember Nolan back in the Gawker days, and this is even shitty for him. The Root needs to drag his ass for this. Like, we’ve got a democracy teetering on the edge, and these mostly white and mostly male liberals have…

I’ve been saying this forever. Arcade boxes based on wins just ruins the mentality for the game because it places your entire reason for being in the mode to be “MUST WIN” which will infuriate you ultimatley for each loss as you feel like you wasted your time. The only time this works is during PvE events where the…

The community asked for deathmatch. Blizzard explained the heroes aren’t designed for deathmatch. Fans continued to ask. Blizzard relented.

Damn. Will be the first BF I skip since Bad Company 1.

In some states you’re not allowed to lock the doors if they’re customers inside. This is due to the fire code.

On the other hand, you could go too far the other way and raise a serial killer.

“Anyone who’s worked service knows there’s a such thing as a locked door.”

Re: the “sweet quiet boys”thing.

The restaurant says they were closed, but the women say the restaurant was open because people were still dining. Anyone who’s worked service knows a closed restaurant often has people in it well beyond the official closing time, and while the public may still be inside, no one new gets to come in.

I call bullshit on the enthusiast rating as well. this will be a very affordable enthusiast car. How come a Toyota 86 gets a pass for being slower but a less expensive hot hatchback with similar power to weight gets dinged for being about the same speed?

I usually have the opposite question about a game, maybe because I don’t have all that much money to spend on games. My question is usually “Even if this is the best game in the world, can I justify spending 40$ to 60$ on a 10 hour experience? Or should I just buy Civ 6, and know it will give me hundreds of hours?”

First, let me compliment you on this article. It’s well-written and explores a wide variety of viewpoints on the topic. I read it and felt informed. Kudos. I want to make it clear I’m not against you or the article.

While you raise an interesting point of not using time/value as an indicator since it says nothing of the experience, this only works if you’re looking for games as experiences, and if you see them as art. Which most of the market doesn’t - it sees them as commodities.

It’s why people don’t mind paying the same to…

For a good 8 years of my life I could usually swing spending about $100 on video games per year. Did I want to play The Witness? I did, very badly! But it was $40 for a limited number of puzzles when it came out. So let’s compare it (an 86 on Metacritic) to Diablo 3 (88 on Metacritic). Metacritic is not a perfect…

Well, I’m going to take the unpopular stance that $/hr is actually a metric that I *do* consider. However, that said, it is not something that I look at as the sole decision factor. I don’t care how good a game is, I’m not going to pay $60 for a 2 hour experience. It’s just not going to happen.
