Yes, he was being a creepy socially awkward retard. Yes, there are a lot of men like this. What you seem to be missing is that, from the woman's perspective, the kind of behavior just described is indistinguishable from that of a man who is willing to cause actual harm.* (Would be, ex, or current) intimate partners…

"Mansion" in Manhattan generally means "4 story townhouse with very nice furnishings."

And yet I can't help but feel it's missing something. . .

Personally, I like to link to an appropriate page on TVTropes to indicate the particular undertones I'm hoping to convey. Though I suppose it's the internet equivalent of tricking someone into visiting a black hole.

Dylstew is comparing the emotional impact of viewing XBox One components to the impact of viewing a particular attractive human being of the gender towards which he is sexually oriented in order to create a pun upon two meanings of the word "play" - the first being the act of playing video games, one capability of the…

Assuming they follow the same balancing approach as on PC, and they attract sufficient numbers to maintain it, the tier spread should settle at 3 tiers per battle. You have to play differently if you're top tier than if you're bottom tier, but a 3 tier spread is doable.

Honestly, I'd be less concerned by the diaspora angle (there are very few black people in New Zealand of any national origin, let alone US), and more concerned by the way hip hop in New Zealand is often associated with other people of color (specifically Pacific Islanders and native Maori).

A dismissive Olivia Pope GIF really is not an adequate response to someone complaining about their perceptions of cultural imperialism. Are you familiar with the concept of the cultural cringe, or small country concerns about foreign media domination? I would hope so, but I'd also be surprised, because it's not a…

Short version: 60 Hz is a fairly typical TV/monitor refresh rate. If you cap at an even multiple of that value (such as 60 or 30) then the capped frames TV refresh will remain "in sync" with the refresh of the monitor. If you cap at some other multiple, then there won't always be a freshly drawn frame available when…

In the U.S., "plus-size" is generally defined as size 12 and up. Robyn Lawley is size 8.

Interesting. That said, Paradox do have some stiff competition in the Norse-influenced fantasy RPG space.

Now what would give you reason to think that Joe Biden would do that?

It's not you. Hyperdistorted comic book style + realistic shading is extremely creepy.

If I were you, I'd wait a little longer and let the technology mature. While pricing is coming down, there are still some tradeoffs going on (ie, in frame rates), and it's possible that there'll be choices made when 4K content becomes mainstream that don't work out too well for older machines.

I'm fairly certain the "newsworthiness" here is the Yale connection, rather than the genders involved.

The ESRB felt that the game depicts sexual violence, and thus required "sexual violence" to be listed on the warning label. That's based on the game itself, not anodized write-up.

You know, it had never occurred to me before now, but XCOM with mod support would be AMAZING. Firaxis has had decent mod support in Civilization for a long time now - hopefully they'll include it in the inevitable XCOM sequel.

Or possibly just pure PR - normally you have to pay to get your game's name out in the world, while with Kickstarter you can often get a bunch of publicity at fairly low cost. (Not that I have a particular problem with this, so long as the game does deliver on its Kickstarter promises).

Australia's a little bit behind the curve on parental leave, but not as badly as America. A good chunk of the US workforce gets zero days paid leave a year. That'd be illegal in most of the developed world.
