A fair place to start, but I’d like to know if there is some legal mistake or misconception. As a reasonable person, I can understand poor communications skills making it difficult to express a point - while context allows me to understand the point they are making.

So BLM fails as a rhetorical device because it triggers the “All Lives Matter” line of logic? (“No, but, uh, see, that’s different see, because they’re talking about something that actually MATTERS!” <- more appeals to the scope, not the analogy).

The Kotaku commentariat has never been particularly good at understanding that analogies are about structure and not, at all, about magnitude.

You’re right! I was wrong!

Cool story, bro.

Crackdown 3 didn’t have physics-based destruction, nor did it have destruction that was actually walkable terrain manipulation. The objects that collapsed were just obstacles that were then removed (how they crumbled could be different from player to player).

Looks like a transcription error.

It’s not about the architecture, but the magnitude. Applying destruction physics to that many voxels with the expectation that the physics work out mostly the same (so that any new paths created for one player, don’t just miss their target on another players and prevent the path from being formed) on multiple (up to…

I’ve disliked every piece of Harry Potter I’ve ever consumed, to varying degrees, and I would STILL love to buy this game IF Rowling wasn’t getting compensated.

Feels like there’s a really obvious answer to this: If every streamer and viewer decided to boycott any company that showed up in mid-stream ads, I imagine advertisers would be very unhappy about any of their ad slots being mid-stream.

Same boat. The gameplay just wasn’t there. I like the improvement for FFVIIR, but not enough to care about XVI. I hope it’s good, and I can pick it up after all of the content is out for it.

But in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars port, several trips back to the main hub late in the game are plagued with stuttering, as if the Switch is struggling to keep up with visuals that, apart from the resolution upgrade, were handled just fine by the 19-year-old GameCube. Again, this small inconvenience doesn’t ruin…

You might be surprised at how easy it is to convert 64 bit to 32 bit.

The more studies confirm the same things, the more you get the public on your side.

The very first words of my very first response are:

Any time! I hope you get in to some of that introspection that might help you out, but at least you fucking off will keep you out of sight/mind. Have a good one!

Awww. That was a shockingly short time to go from “feigned ignorance” to “you’re misinterpreting me.”
Not only a boring playbook, but you’re even skipping parts to make it more boring.
