There’s kind of an off tone here. The premise seems to be that maybe people only liked Borderlands because they were immature and young and now they are old and seasoned and won’t? I guess that works if you assume that the player was X age (maybe your age?) when they first started playing but now they have “been to a…

Thankfully, this particular situation was quickly defused because one of the officers attending the incident lives in Bugha’s neighbourhood and recognised the teen.

Judging from what else was added in the past couple years as verboten language, they’re also not allowed to say that the president is a con man or a sexual predator.

When we call someone a racist, we are placing them in a category of person that is unworthy of public power, respect, or indeed, anything apart from contempt

So here’s a fun lesson in US Congressional History that this brings to mind - the “Gag Rule.”

At the end of the day, if you cannot take responsibility and face the elements in your life that make you who and what you are, you will never change. The difference between me and one of 45's goons is that I know I was raised in an environment where racism and sexism was rampant, and I must every day question if what…

TFW someone cares enough to check the receipts.

If more Americans did this, career politicians would have to invest in an on-site laundry service, as the continual soiling of drawers would require constant change-outs.

I wondered if it was too old and odd... Calling a spade a spade. 

If I’m reading that correctly, it looks as though many of those rules were added in 2016 and 2017. Why would a Republican controlled House add such rules limiting themselves like that?

Call a white dude a racist when they’ve made outright, inescapably clearly racist remarks and watch their heads explode.

It definitely seems like Valve, by way of Steam, is faced with a choice: change their cut, or find their business slowly eroded by a competitor that’s willing to take a smaller percentage of the profits in exchange for a larger chunk of exclusivity.

I’m not a big fan of the Epic Store—I’ve only ever purchased Metro…

I get being upset at being inconvenienced. But in the grand scheme of things, having to download another launcher isn't a big deal unless said launcher doesn't work with your computer somehow. It's not like you have to actually buy something like a new console or something to play it.

I seriously believe that the people who are angry represent but a small portion of the backers.

I have a new take on this whole “let’s defend Steam by at least threatening to boycott games we’ll eventually play anyway”.

who’d have thought a game with 100% deus vult aesthetic and 4% community moderation, on the PC, would attract this crowd.

Funny how it’s almost—almost—exclusively games about Medieval knights who look like Templar/have the whole ‘Deus Vult meme aesthetic’ going on that seem to bring this particular brand of “we’re just bitching about historical purity,” shithead out of the woodwork.

The child was brutalized ON CAMERA and the parents had to get social workers to advocate for charges?? And they claimed that there's equity in law enforcement. Bullshit. Let this have been a Black or Latino man pinning a white child down like this. He would've been executed swiftly by the police upon their arrival.

A grown man attacks a 13 year old boy and cops are like “Well I don’t see a crime here.”

I think the problem is calling Emmitt Till a “celebrity,” which carries a connotation of glamour and lightheartedness. If it had been a list of “important historical figures” I think the reaction would have been different.

Personally, I’m in favor of anything that makes people remember Emmett Till.
