Man, if someone gets so in their feelings about a cat on a leash that they have to commit assault, imagine what they might do if they see a gender nonconforming person, or someone with an obvious disability, or any of a cornucopia of other things that might make a person visibly “different”.

“Sorry I got caught trying to protect my daughter from a physically abusive partner?” The fuck are you on about?

Someone walks up to you and says “I will give you a cookie if you look up that girl’s skirt”.

you get locked out of the trophy for not looking up the character’s skirt so you’re basically punishing players for not being creeps. There is no nuance to be had here. 

I basically feel bad for everyone but the cops. The mom didn’t do anything wrong. Her daughter appears to have been abused and she did the right thing trying to protect her. The kid was alone in a bathroom. The cops needed to de-escalate and they didn’t. 

I’d also argue that it may be the best way to actually convince Republicans to do the right thing. Appealing to their sense of human decency sure isn’t going to work.

The ship has been interned by a belligerent foreign power. Based on my understanding of The Sea, the honorable thing would be for the crew to scuttle the Ever Given rather than let it fall into enemy hands.

Man these guys have leverage here.

They can do it, I just know they have the juice to get these guys freed. They can call up Egypt and be all like “You’ve got a canal, we’ve got a canal, we’re canal habibis, what’s it gonna take to iron this out?”

Sounds exactly like the first time I stumbled across a televised Magic: The Gathering tournament eons ago. All I remember is the commentator screaming “Ball Lightning” over and over.

i’m with you, i saw this videos and i cannot find what is so impressive about the play, the game action looks like shit, and the commentaries is just noise.

OWL seems to have a very high barrier to (enjoyable) entry unless you’re an OW player yourself.

Is this article supposed to be a joke about Stodden because she fits conventional gender norms and so can only be interested in “doing gender” as some kind of means of attention-grabbing? 

Hey have you thought about relaxing and not being weird about video games online?

“Prosecutors also told the court that there was gunshot residue on Toledo’s right hand, which, in light of the body cam footage released, is also in question.”

Whether or not a person who was executed by police was armed or not is kind of an important detail. A prosecutor—an officer of the court—should know that. Misleading the court on that sort of basic detail is inexcusable and someone needs to be held accountable (spoiler: no one will be held accountable). If someone…

I have a very specific memory of restarting this game a few different times as a kid and there being a point in every single character’s story where I just had no clue how to proceed. I don’t think I could even figure out how to get Lute’s story started.

It’s a hard game, extremely non-linear with really dense mechanics that are not really explained at all. It is tough, arguably not as tough as Romancing Saga 2&3, but still tough as nails all the same. It’s not you.

Big caveat here is that a blog like this is going to look weirdly out of date in 5 years when we’re all playing games on streaming services and dont own a damn thing anymore 🙃
