This video of Almora crying on the shoulder of a ballpark security guard really struck me in the feels. Hope the news that the kid is going time OK is true.

Just hoping that child is okay.

For what it’s worth, this is from the Astros’ game thread on Reddit:

“She is going be OK according to my mom. She was 4 rows away and just talked to security guard who said they are taking her to hospital for precautionary but early signs are good.

First, These are new steerable chute designs. Its engineered to reduce the recovery radius and allow retrieval personnel to approach the landing zone with more accuracy and get a lot closer before splashdown. These are far more complex than the staged chutes used by Apollo. Second point: Chute/water recovery for D2…

We did send people to the moon... But the original three people slated for teh Apollo 1 crew were killed an accident (one of that crew almost died when the Liberty Bell 7 malfunctioned) and the crew Apollo 13 also almost died do to a malfunction. Then there were the deaths of the Challenger and Columbia shuttles. So no…

I'm always surprised by how these nostalgia driven kickstarter games get bashed for staying true to their roots. I thought as fans and and backers, that what we want. I was a Yooka-Laylee backer as well and guess what, loved that game too.

Shieldmaidens are mostly a folk/mythological concept and there’s little evidence women participated in battle. There’s only a few remains that have been found with weapons and there’s little in viking culture to suggest it was a thing. Women were not allowed to carry weapons. They did, however, have responsibility for…

Yes, because not being able to play a few games out of millions is the equivalent to not being able to read any books at all.

No, I disagree. I don’t see this as a problem with how people are taught about the solar system. We are taught the order of the planets outward from the Sun, and now, sometimes, what a planet actually is. This work answers a trick question because the answer to the question, “What planet is closest to the Earth?”…

I really don’t understand. In France, we’d laugh because of the original meaning. But we’d laugh at people thinking it’s cultural appropriation. What a world to live in.

I mean is it really our job to be outraged for the citizens of Japan when they seem to feel no outrage at this situation?

Uproar over cultural appropriation is BS 99% of the time. I think culture if too often conflated with ethnicity as well. It’s natural for culture to spread.

I like this one. It always seems like those not involved or affected in any way are the ones making the biggest stink about things. I’m gonna go ahead and appropriate this quote.

Except the idea was Hulu/Netflix was where I’d go for shows so I didn’t need to subscribe to Disney or CBS or NBC for the *one* show on their network I care about.

Well, trading shinies is pretty expensive unless you’re besties, and that takes ages...

he has no obligation to answer those questions, not only is he not obligated but it’s in his best interest not to answer those questions. Especially over twitter. People are gonna judge him unfairly regardless since it’s his word over theirs. 

Bullshit. Not wanting to reply to EVERY twitter @ is not “dodging question.” Twitter is not a journalism site. I call bullshit on these accusations. #MeToo should not be just about believing at face value every accusation.

That’s understandable. Still, every character in every game exists only to serve some purpose for the player. Whether that’s to provide quests, give items, act as a romance option, or just stand around as background scenery. When you examine the actual routines of the denizens of Skyrim, they end up appearing much…

There seems to be a recent surge of critiques of this game going around and it sort of dumbfounds me. I’m certainly no gaming expert, and really only splurge on a handful of titles in any given year, but from all the games I have ever played RDR 2 is so far one of the most stunning masterful accomplishments I have…

Your points are valid, but isn’t this how pretty much every game is? Not sure if I’ve ever played something where it felt like the NPCs were real people.
