Why Nintendo should have to say “Sorry this joke wasn’t about you” within two hours after anyone on Twitter takes offense—especially if the offense arises from someone who apparently has an extremely tangential relationship with an event from 1970s American politics?—is beyond me. Apparently you think Nintendo should…

I was going to make some lengthy bullshit about how it being a gamergate reference in that context doesn’t make any sense but I’m so baffled that this is even in contest I’ll keep it much shorter.

“godrays” has been a term used in the graphics world for an extremely long time though.

HEY WE GAVE YOU A MAIN CHARACTER WHOSE A BLACK GUY. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!!

The problem is that computer engineers are no better as securing networks than the car guys are.

I hope this bill doesn’t pass. How about the car companies actually listen to the tech sector, and put some protection on the cars electronic security systems. Hire some computer engineers to do this, it isn’t that difficult.
