I have unfortunate violin hips and “double breasts” from my ribs if I lose enough weight to show them. Neither of those problems can be fixed. The person I know who had plastic surgery had an unfortunate jaw and disliked the shape of her nose. I didn’t see it until the after shot. We all have something we’d love to

This girl did have a particularly unfortunate jaw. I know people who have had plastic surgery that made them feel pretty and (more importantly) confident, and it didn’t lead to plastic surgery addiction or whatever else. They have never said out loud that it would have been better to die, so I hope that they never

It was also far enough away from some of the louder booths that you didn’t end up hearing much in there— more of a drone, if anything. Comparing it to being outside the booth, it felt quiet. Well, until happy hour.

I got the chance to be in there, and holy hell, it made E3 so much more bearable. I feel like everyone needs a space like this, where you can just sit, take a breath, and then go back out into the crowd.

Yeah, it’s not particularly subtle. TBH, I enjoyed Heavy Rain, despite its flaws. Madison was one of them, (and ugh, the sex scene with her and Ethan... dude, your kid is kidnapped, what are you doing hooking up with a woman you just met? Don’t you have more important things on your mind?) but there were also a lot of

Sort of. I can’t comment on Detroit, and Two Souls was just about unplayable (sorry, just my opinion, I downloaded it for free from PSN and deleted it about an hour in) so I can’t talk about that one either.

Personally, I’d be less concerned with “And I wasn’t attracted to Asian men.” If he didn’t end it with “I was a hot, surfer, California boy type, that he probably could have only gotten had he bought, paid for or found someone just willing to ride on his coattails of fame.”

Isn’t it Mickey Rooney? Andy Rooney is the news guy— and when I looked up Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Andy Rooney, I got Mickey Rooney. But now multiple people have mentioned Andy Rooney, so I’m confused and wondering if there was some Andy Rooney scene in there which was really racist.

I’d be happy if it were true, but I’d honestly be floored if in the games I bother to play online, Dark Souls and DotA, the player base isn’t still a bunch of dicks.

Really? Ugh. Um. Sorry.

I’m in the games industry. We have normal insurance, and at the time, we even paid for some sort of advocate group that was supposed to simplify insurance claims for us. One of our programmers still spent 10k on his wife having a kid— the max out of pocket was supposed to be 5k for a family, so I don’t have a clue

Last year, during a series of hearings, the Republican Congressman Joe Shimkus tried to advance the “repeal and replace” bill by making the argument that men shouldn’t have to help shoulder the burden of prenatal care.

The laugh track this week was really disturbing.

A subreddit, Kotaku In Action, is dedicated to complaining about the radical anti-man evil leftist feminists who post on Kotaku. I think it was created during Gamergate, and was populated by exactly the sorts of people you’d expect. (To any of you KiA people, don’t worry! I totally mean you all support ethics in game

I’ve been working in games for over 10 years as a programmer. I have been the only female programmer at any particular studio for about half of that (and often enough, I’ve been the only woman other than the secretary, though there are more women who work as artists, who are paid less than programmers generally). None

If an autopilot did so, the pilot would still be at fault in a plane.

5'8" is considered short? Huh. Okay. I mean, I wouldn’t consider a guy short until he gets to 5'4", which is the average for women.

I thought colorblind people could see the thing, just couldn’t distinguish it from other colors, like green. But this is talking about it like they can’t see it at all? (I’m sure a colorblind mode would be appreciated in any case, but I’m just a bit confused by statements in here.)

Uhhh. I was in Japan back in 2003, and while they might be “polite,” they also run down pedestrians in back allies, which is not very polite. I mean, unless that’s changed, like I’ve heard the excessive smoking everywhere has— though when I looked up Japan car pedestrian fatalities online, I got a Japan Times article
