I mean...some of these guys were probably creeps but ghosting people is kind of a shitty thing to do just generally. I’m not really sure it’s behavior to be bragged about.

> Frankly, it’s irresponsible that any in-person event is being held with covid-19 variants still cropping up worldwide.

Building a space launch company, a multi-thousand satellite constellation, and the most successful EV company is a snake-oil salesman?

Since when has Nintendo released a war game set in the modern ear which rages war against brown people? If Blue Moon was not so obvious Russia and the game did not start with them invading another country, then maybe your complaint would have some merit. But Advance Wars is a direct parallel to current events. 

“Spoilers! REEEEeeeeeee!”

But for too long, the media discussion of mobile gaming has ignored the human component: the actual players. ... Their games aren’t inherently inferior, and they’re consciously choosing to play games that fit into their busy lives. It’s time that PC and console players learn to respect that.

Frankly, the fact that the NYT paid him at all for his open-source Password/Scrabble hybrid is amazing. They would absolutely be in their rights to simply copy the format and use it on their site. What they paid for was the name recognition (everyone calls the game Wordle now), and is a shockingly decent thing to do.…

Yes, and it’s intentional obfuscation to suggest otherwise.

A lot of people might not like the guy but this is still a really shitty thing to do to someone.

They haven’t been made in almost twenty years. Do we even know for sure if they were working Game Boy Colors? For all we know, he could have picked up dead ones for cheap.

They don’t even allow males to show their nipples, this isn’t an equality or sexism thing. Just poor wording in the quote.

Few counterpoints:

Yeah I’d give Dave a bit of leeway on the jokes. That’s not to say they aren’t offensive to people. Heck I watched the special and at times looked at the audience and could tell from their faces they were, at the very least, unimpressed with them. That’s jokes; some work, some don’t.

I think they really need to have a skip editorializing link to get to the actual content we want from reading the headline, or leave it for the end. If I already have the game that I care about the settlings, I don’t really care about the drama surrounding said game.

Idiotic opinions with pointless observations.

I mean, Google is in our vernacular like Kleenex and Band-Aid. You say “I’ll just Google it”, not “I’ll search for it on the Internet”.

From my understanding the primary reason for Federation credits is to facilitate trade with societies that still rely on monetary systems.  

Though to be clear: only the token itself is certified as unique. The digital art, video, or whatever-file connected to that token isn’t actually unique and can easily be shared and copied freely. All you own when buying an NFT is a really expensive receipt, not the actual digital file.

I mean... these are just ads.

If we cannot trust the creators of a game whose foundational design is the manipulation and exploitation of our most dangerous gambling instincts and impulses for profit to treat us with love and respect then golly-geewiz, who can we trust?
