So I’ve got a PS4, Xbox One, and a pretty good desktop computer. This last year Gamepass has made my Xbox my most played console. I could see how it’s not for some people but man you get a ton of variety with it. Plus with Witcher 3 and all of Final Fantasy coming it’s going to keep me busy. 

There was a 1 country 2 systems agreement. Not that China has a good track records of abiding by agreements.

Because it sends the clear (and clearly true) message: “we’re talking, but we are not listening.”

And yet its open for all other news. That’s what makes it notable and/or sad. 

Most video game shotguns are underwhelming wastes of ammo because of the spread. For some reason, video game devs think that every shotgun has a 2 inch long barrel. The spread is so wide that it makes them ineffective at anything but point blank range.

This article won’t be complete without this comic.

This. I never watched the rest of the Blair Witch series due to how much I didn’t like the first movie. I guess because so many people I knew in middle school hyped it up being the scariest movie they’ve seen, that it was real, and they even talked about that documentary they made. So the hype was bigger than the…

Tool phase?

He knows what it means though.  Company’s will be forced to move out of China if they can’t afford the hit.  It’s the only way to hit China.  By taking away their clients.   

Isn’t that the reason for the huge political divide? People indulging in echo chambers?

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.

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.

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.
