I know a woman in gaming! Buuuuuut, she’s from Canada so you wouldn’t know her. Her dog sled team got delayed in the Yukon. Otherwise she totally would have been here.

The character wasn’t designed to be sexy for the sake of appealing to adolescent boys using the least common denominator. The “sexy” robots in Atomic Heart obviously were. Which is why people are trying to explain exactly what it is about ND-5. No one would have to explain why the Atomic Heart robots are “sexy”…

Look, I get that 19 is technically a “teen” number. But this person is legally an adult, doing adult crimes and facing adult charges. Why is the word “teen” even in the headline other than to infantalize the criminal? It would have been equally accurate to say “tiktok adult.” It feels like we have this need to make…

I sort of get where you’re trying to go, but your leap of logic to this being a problem of too many people being directed into STEM is...frankly wild. I mean I agree that non-technical jobs still need better pay and there needs to be more of a social safety net, but I don’t see any evidence that this kind of thing is…

LOL! The former car dealer d-riding for car dealers. Thanks for your objective and unbiased opinion.

As far as I can tell it’s definitely in the top ten, and the few sources that mentioned it at #1 it was certainly not by a wide margin as you suggest, so I’m not sure where you’re getting your numbers. Guess it depends on which source you’re using. I simply googled “fastest growing states” and couldn’t get a…

So glad we heard it from our resident misogynist dipshit. Case closed. Because you have access to inside information, right? And we know that women are almost never assaulted by men.

So go fuck yourself, “Samhain.”

I’m over a hundred hours in. Definitely late game as far as the main story. Never once have I successfully used the dodge or parry. My only major architectural achievement is gluing a bunch of boards together to make a bridge. And yet people are our there making music, logic gates, calculators, diodes, and building…

Belief in UFOs is not much different than belief in god. So what if there are thousands of people claiming to have seen a UFO? Lots of people claim they have seen Jesus’s face in a tortilla or whatever. Or have seen a miracle or talked to god. It’s equally fantastical and unprovable.

I don’t particularly care for calling these encounters “attacks.” They don’t look particularly aggressive/predatory. It looks like play. But when a 15 foot, 2 ton animal plays with a boat, bad things can happen. I know researches have suggested that this behavior was taught by a female who had been injured by a…

I don’t know much (or anything, really) about cosplay, but I do feel like this is one of those things where people whine that it’s not a “real job” or whatever. The level of artistry, crafting, and hard work is amazing here. I know people are complaining that this isn’t really cosplay (a truly bizarre take), but…

This entire subthread is so weird and gatekeepy. Why does it matter if she’s paid? She’s clearly incredibly talented and spends a ton of time and resources to create these amazing costumes. Your analogy makes no sense. The actors don’t create the costumes in superhero movies, and the costumes aren’t the end goal.

It sucks for everyone because there are so many people who argue in bad faith and simply wish to be disrespectful. But it’s impractical to suggest that each and every person is going to remember each and every other person’s preferred pronouns. I have a hard enough time remembering people’s names. That’s not an excuse…

You know what else is exhausting? Trying to parse a sentence like this:

I’m not sure who is worse. This stalker arsonist or the unhinged lunatics in the comments who believe every crime should be a death sentence.

Where did all these unhinged gun nuts come from? No, you fucking psychopath, property doesn’t matter more than human life. You just want free license to murder. It’s people like you who are shooting people through doors or for making a wrong turn into a driveway.

At some point, at some level of mastery and skill, when you’re talking about fractions of a second, luck must play a huge factor. That and being able to quickly recognize patterns. It’s just incredible the level of skill these people have attained.

This take makes no sense. Do you have any idea how much thought and practice has to go into speedrunning? You have to know the game inside an out. You have to spend a lot of time savoring something before you get good enough to be able to speedrun it. Do you think this guy just picked up a Rubik’s Cube and started…

So you’re a straight white dude and representation has simply never been an issue for you. You just take it for granted that almost everything will cater to you, whether it’s market research or not.
