HIS face.  Try again.

The NBA is a north american sports league where foreigners are an exception; the title of Grandmaster is open to any chess player, regardless of nationality, and is FAR more diverse. Also, the title of Grandmaster is held for life. Not sure the two are in any way comparable.

because once you get the grandmaster title, absent very exceptional circumstances, you keep it for life.

Its the nostalgia effect. People always claim things were better/safer during their childhoods, when in fact the only difference is that certain types of crime were swept under the rug back then.

It’s safer for a 10 year old now than it was back then. The latest stats I can easily find online are from 2015, but child abductions fell by 40 percent between 1997 and 2015. Crime rates in general have fallen precipitously over the last three decades. But people are generally a bunch of gullible rubes who will fear…

Okay, but the difference is nobody at those stores was expected to be keeping an eye on you and the place your parents actually left you at was an arcade, a place that’s explicitly designed for people to hang out at for more than the duration of a shopping trip.

I’m old enough to remember my parents giving me $5 and a Coke, and leaving me at Aladdin’s Castle while they did their thing at Dillard’s, or whatever. If I ran out of tokens I’d hit KB Toys. Last ditch was the record store or Sears, in case they had a video game demo station set up. They knew where to find me. Of…

Fuckin how can you claim credit for starting a SCHOOL and then brag about never reading a book?

Levar Burton is a national treasure, you can stfu you transphobic dick weed 

LeVar is awesome and has been for a long time.

Maybe I’m just getting old and soft, but my mind went to all the devs and team members who actually probably worked very hard on this game and were likely to some degree mismanaged. Hopefully they work on enough not to have this kind of thing affect them too much, but I’m sure it can’t be great for morale.

He came out with the truth now because the people he scammed finally all caught on that he was scamming. He told the sameish sob story to tons of different streamers and since he was “one of them” they believed him. Recently, he sent videos and such to some more streamers, asking for money but to keep it out of the…

I’d give more credence to their boycott if it wasn’t Christmas. They just want a vacation and are using this as an excuse to look good about it. Oh sure there might be one or two that join that are actually on board but the rest?

I don’t get the hot tub stream hate.  I mean it’s not all that different that what you would see at a beach or pool.  I never watched them, but it’s not like they are running around naked.

Well, you’re certainly making a case.

Considering the worst thing about social media is that it causes people to regress into their middle-school selves, where their snippiness and shitheadery is rewarded and their nuance is drained through the floor, I’d say your comment is a pretty good indication that they’re right. 

“Social media was a mistake.”
