“Whatever you think of Conor, at least respect the guy”

Exactly. In the region where Khabib is from if you disrespect someone’s family or religion the best case scenario is getting beat within an inch of your life. Depending on what faction you’ve insulted other, not unlikely, options are you, and possibly your whole family, end up in a prison to never be seen again or are …

While it’s a foregone conclusion that Khabib’s purse is going to be withheld, all this talk of banning him from the UFC smacks of favoritism. You’re telling me McGregor gets all the passes in the world, but Khabib gets banned for defending his family and religion? No, sir. That dog won’t hunt.

I haven’t seen anyone justify Khabib’s actions.  What I do see is a lot of people wanting Dana and the UFC to admit that they did spur this on.  They sat idly by and let Connor say vile things all because it sold PPVs.  Now the ramifications of letting Connor run wild and using his words in their marketing campaign…

Come on, man.

There are 100%, without a fucking doubt, McGregor fans (not all, but for sure some) who are indulging in white power fantasy with him. The brash, swag, shit taking white guy comes in and insults (usually racially) and beats up brown people? They fucking love it.

Connor and White seemed to be the only ones not picking up on the fact that Khabib was not fucking playing. Connor comes out like a cartoon villain, insulting Khabib’s family, manager, culture and religion, he throws a fake fucking kick at the weigh in and Khabib does nothing. Because you know where he’s from it’s not…

PREACH

LMAO, FAIR POINT

“I have some quibbles with Rowling’s world building—how does magic work, exactly?”

$200 for a plastic sword? Nah.

Nice, if a bit annoying. I prefer this one:

Kojima is, without a doubt, amazingly pretentious, but he’s put out enough solid gold to not be the most overrated developer, which, in my mind, Is actually Rare. 

Rare produced a whole catalog of dorky but competent games that became noteworthy for doing things that people didn’t expect at the time. Most of them of…

We saw tons of gameplay at E3, Death Stranding is a walking sim

Troy Baker’s wording in this trailer is, “all you gotta do to make it out alive is not get eaten,” and frankly that’s just a roundabout way of saying “turn back, walk away.” But see, from the E3 trailer, we know that all Norman Reedus does is WALK, and he’ll be damned if anyone stops him from walkin’ where he wanna…

I dunno if I’d say overrated.

Most overrated developer of our time

I believe it. There’s an old interview where he says the whole reason he started making games was because nobody would take a chance on his screenplays. Dude’s always been a massive cinephile, and it definitely shows in his work (and his Twitter, which is like 90% him geeking out over film stars)

Clearly, you haven’t played any of his games.

I’m starting to think that *this* is the gameplay.
