You’re not actually serious with this comment, are you? Bernie Fucking Sanders™ is the reason all those women decided to step into active politics in the first place. AOC was an actual field organizer for Bernie in the 2016 election, and the other praise Sanders on a weekly basis; shit, they’ve all worked with Sanders…

The space combat aspect of this game makes me remember fondly of the Freespace games. They were some of the best space combat sims *ever*, and they have most, if not all, of the practical fight/flight features you listed here. I thank the moist gods above that the modding community has created mods that update the…

Cool cool cool. Very excited for this. Another franchise from the recent past I’d like to see continued is Freespace — if I knew somebody was working on Freespace 3 I think I’d faint.

ohmigod two articles about the same person in 30 hours? that’s just excessive, amirite?

Yeah, this isn’t an “official” Hasbro release. You can tell from the sloppy branding and the overall laziness in the graphic design. Most of all you can tell because of the large block of text on the left side of the box that reads “A PARODY OF THE CLASSIC.”

These aren’t hogs, they’re cute widdle piggies

More and more, I find myself nodding in agreement with Jim Sterling and his perspectives. This whole situation is an indicator of destructive capitalism, and framing this as just a small developer who is simply taking proper advantage of Epic’s funding is short-sighted.

I love how all these people talk about this situation by framing it as a problem with Trump, as if he’s an outlaw or something. Almost all of this behavior is specifically defined as either legal, or not illegal. Nobody really gets called out on any of it because if they do, there’s a risk that they will get called…

Libby, I love your writing and I think you’re an incredible asset to the Splinter team. But I started reading this essay and got to about the second paragraph and I just had to stop (not your fault). None of this really matters, because of the way politicians frame their approach to their jobs.

Almost every single…

“How many more fraudulent medical records might be out there?” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz asked during her questioning.

I see nothing wrong with her original post.

Everyone who’s claiming this was some kind of apex sexist transgression needs to re-calibrate. She’s a politician, and this kind of thing happens to politicians all the time. If she and other women are going to operate in these spaces, then they should expect this kind of thing. There are no “bad optics” here besides…

Has anyone in this entire thread even looked at the “bench” in question? It’s not a fucking public park bench made of metal slats, it’s an apparatus specifically designed for bondage-friendly play. For what it is, it actually looks quite appropriate.

Thor said, “I knew it!” because he’s known Steve was worthy enough after AoU. If you remember, Steve nudged the hammer, Thor looked concerned/amazed/stunned for half a second, and Steve immediately backed off. This new “reading” of this scene is not completely out of the blue. Steve’s a decent guy who’s not interested…

You want the fulfillment. The nice family. People who love you. Some purpose.

While the ethnic and gender diversity is something to be celebrated, I would contest the notion that that alone is the reason for this line of questioning.

These women (and Ro Khanna, also on this committee) all ran as Justice Democrats, an organization dedicated to helping grassroots candidates get elected on plainly…

Oh, you sweet, summer child.

I am supporting Bernie 100%, and I really hope he wins because I want you to have guaranteed health care, I want you to earn a living wage backed by the power of unions, I want to tax the shit out of the super wealthy and redistribute wealth in this country, I want you and your children to be able to live on this…

You’re not Puerto Rican. Your opinion on this does not matter.
