Thanks, this was actually really helpful.

Warhammer (and 40k) always intrigued me as a casual fan of collectible games in middle school. But it always seemed so daunting - the lore of it, the rules, the items needed to play. I still would love to get into it, but frankly it still seems daunting and I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

Your money is actually a scam. It’s nothing. The title to your house is nothing, a piece of paper. It has no value. ALL ownership is arbitrary rulemaking. You and Kotaku seem to miss this point over and over and over.

This is audio pareidolia. It’s often done visually when we see a face on a piece of toast, a butterfly in a cloud, or your dad being fucked by your uncle in an blot of ink. A random sound, but we’re trained to identify spoken language, and so we hear it.

Not that its not pretty expensive... You arent staying at a Holiday Inn. The fact that you reference there isnt a pool leads me to believe you dont understand the entire premise and their targeted clientele.

Oh, sure. Go to magical college. Take out a magical loan. Get a worthless magical degree. Graduate into the worst magical economy in half a century. Fail to get a good paying magical job. And finally get burdened by debilitating magical debt. 

The complaint accuses Robinhood of failing to execute orders requested by its customers even prior to prohibiting trades on specific stocks, including GameStop ($GME).

Alright, 2020, I’ve read your script and it’s....well, there’s some promise there, and some real thrilling parts, but the messaging is just a little heavy-handed. I’m not sure anyone is going to buy this president character, who could not possibly exist in real life. Like, what politician up for re-election would…

If you read the iOS article, then you know that the law in this case is anti-trust law. And Apple and Google are Monopolies for their ecosystems.

At the end of the day, I think half (or more) of your questions can be answered with: sometimes I just want to run around in a better world for a while.

I feel like I’ve been posting this quote a lot, but it seems relevant:

Look, the headline is purely snark and grocery shopping frustration...

I agree: the tone of this post is just off-putting. “Sometimes I don’t like dealing with the challenges in life that come with being a ninth grader, so I like blowing off steam by bullying some seventh graders.”

It’s not that pub stomping is all these players want to do, but easy matches provide some tension relief from the difficult ones.

I realize that when in an article that is effectively pitching the idea of pubstomps as self care I shouldn’t have expected much, but hey maybe think for a second about how much it sucks for the rest of the people in the game when someone is pubstomping. I realize that when the exalted mind of [checks notes]…

It sucks that every match is hard. What sucks more Is being below average and getting stomped all day. Im for SBMM.  

I just love Small Government™ Republicans and their support of Personal Freedoms®.

Maybe my problem was I used the word “commended,” which people are choosing to interpret as “should have paid me more money, given me a promotion and a Tesla” when all I really wanted was for any kind of acknowledgement whatsoever. Devs and supervisors would get pissed at you all the time for finding a high-severity…

They were going to use a hardware solution first:

Forgive the tangent, but I’m starting to wonder if we need to take a good, long look at how major games are covered. It feels like the news gets stuck in a feedback loop, where a game that’s good right out of the gate gets basically nothing but glowing praise, and a game that stumbles out of the starting box gets…
