Says the internet commenter who plays the victim by implying that anybody with a differing opinion is automatically “invalidating” their own.

No no no guys, this is all going to work out great, trust me.

Half the game is dedicated to discovering the townspeople’s most well-hidden vices and failings. Otherwise you won’t get the Maximum Ironic Punishment achievement.

It may seem a little heavy-handed, but you just have to trust that the adults know better than you do. After all, it would be the very definition of bias to claim that you yourself know exactly what content would be harmful if you (or others) were to consume it; you’d be far too tempted to just keep all the stuff you…

Giving Samus a more traditional voice and existence is opening up a can of worms. Metroid’s entire universe works well because it edges towards a dreamspace. You’ve got a lone wanderer with a tragic backstory setting down on planets full of ghosts and monsters and getting shit done.

I could write multiple paragraphs about why the first season of S&L was a giant mess, and yet, the acting and cinematography (and scenes that were well-written in isolation, ignoring the small family of elephants in its room) kinda did carry it.

If some random dude puts a bomb in your head and threatens to press the button if you say xyz, your freedom to speak has been curtailed. Get the fuck out of here conflating the 1st Amendment with the concept of free speech. It’s insulting.

His whole thesis is that he can be ignorant and still be empathetic. If you reject that, then it’s all downhill from there, because all the lazy-ass potty jokes that pad out the show instantly become infinitely meaner.

Nope. And you might think that if a candy ass is full of shit, then a shit ass is full of candy, but you’d be wrong. A shit ass is also full of shit.

I honestly can’t find anything brief to say about this episode, because it was jam-packed, rushed, and just completely out of control. One comment would beget another. Everything would be contextualized, again, by the fact that there’s only five episodes left.

These quotes are so cringeworthy that Statler and Waldorf would respond to them with nothing but contemptuous silence.

There’s something perverse about pursuing so many laudable social goals while writing a comic about two unapologetic mass murderers.

But that’s just it: they weren’t vague nothings. They were sweaty and unfunny, but they weren’t vague at all. He took the time to build up an entire narrative foundation for them.

Yes, that is generally how opinions work. If mine dares to be different from yours, then I am necessarily telling you that yours is completely invalid.

A game like Monster Hunter Rise is going to have so few meaningfully-different save states that I imagine there’ll be dumps/repositories for PC equivalents in short order.

Well, I actually watched the special. Here’s its list of sins, in my book:

Meh, humans are shit-terrible drivers, and they already get something of a free pass in the law when they find themselves in stressful, blink-and-you’re-dead situations. I have little doubt that politicians will try to gum up the works in favor of this or that interest group, but the raw data is shocking in how…

We’re on the cusp of a self-driving-car revolution, and Star Trek’s backstory has giant leaps forward in AI that the real world will never match even if humanity doesn’t destroy its civilization.

These movies have been weird so far, because the show ended with Shawn mostly getting his happy ending, but not having had to grow up. So now we’re getting to see the “after” of a happily-ever-after where he’s still a manchild, but now also has the perfect fiance-and-now-maybe-wife. He’s just respected enough to be…

So, what are we thinking? Are they going to fully commit to This Is Us style flashbacks? Are random cooking devices going to constantly derail the plot, and then each get their own dedicated flashback? Pineapple flashbacks? “I remember it both ways” totally-fake flashbacks?
