But they want a specific indulgence that doesn’t set a precedent, because incel philosophy is actually super attractive.

It’s an interesting tale. Kind of low-rent Hollywood redux. Nobody really gave a shit about Ron unless he was making him money that day , but they cared even less about all the women he allegedly abused (and, it should go without saying, they cared about those women the least when Ron was making them money that day.)

The most charitable interpretation is that the commenter believes there’s a bunch of crazy R. Kelly fans out there who think/claim R. Kelly is being unfairly targeted due to his race. Said commenter is not a fan of those crazies.

Interesting idea about loading the game up with weapons. I think there’s conceptual room for a version of Boyfriend Dungeon that generates weapons the same way that Borderlands does, or even implements a crafting system, and has a lot to say about both gaming and relationships via those systems.

But now that we’re all thinking about it...?

I’m not sure M.A.S.H. could sustain another TV series. Maybe just make it into a movie.

Jesus, I couldn’t even tell you what number we’re on in terms of “another attempt at Lost.”

When you strip away the inflammatory child pornography language, this is actually a fascinating case about implicit versus explicit releases for use-of-likeness, copyrights, work-for-hire, and child labor laws.

This was just as hamfisted and stupid as the first time Supergirl decided it needed to comment on the trumplets’ anti-immigration bullshit. After years of eating its cake right in front of its audience - a vastly more optimistic, good-faith and competent national government, combined with clear technological progress…

I mean, of course it’s going to happen again. We’re still hoovering up resources like crazy and de facto enslaving half the world to do it. Somebody’s going to get pissed off and throw a metaphorical shoe at our heads again, whether it be somebody with a legitimate grievance, an opportunistic middleman, or both.

Well, they tried something, and they failed miserably. Good for them. I’d rather a dozen of these than a single, nihilistic, money-grubbing mobile game that mostly does what it sets out to do, that nobody gets overly offended by, and that actually manages to get into the black.

That summary doesn’t really do the situation justice. Schilling started the whole endeavor to create a KoA MMORPG. That’s what they got all the investment money and loans for. They were going to bust out of the gate, having never made a KoA game or any game at all, with an MMORPG.

You’d have to rewrite L. Ron Hubbard’s shitty pulp novels as Vogon poetry to get anywhere close to Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff.

KoA:Reckoning was low-key ungodly ambitious when you step back and examine all the games it was drawing mechanics and systems from. Ironic to the max, considering it was a Hail Mary to keep the studio afloat while it developed a completely different pie-in-the-sky endeavor.

Sean Penn may have written the worst novel ever. Well, so far anyway (thanks Homer Simpson.)

I’m sorry, the response we were looking for was “who is going to be revealed as a terrible person who doesn’t deserve to host Jeopardy next?”

Uh, why do you think Watson got reassigned to chess duties in the first place?

>Not that you can’t be healthy at a higher weight than society tells us is attractive.

If that’s the context, he wasn’t in the wrong at all. It astounds me that you could so cleanly construct a hypothetical situation where Novak is blameless and yet not appreciate that you made him blameless.

It’s a house of cards, too. In a game like Fallout, having 100k 9mm rounds should make you an ammunition kingpin a la Mad Max, and also a huge target for raiders, and also unable to walk without the assistance of a Big Rascal Power Armor Suit For Da Fat Beetus Sufferer.
