Nah, EA will have inadvertently have saved video games in the end, by exposing the loot box menace to the world at large so that the hammer could be brought down on them. I look forward to the day when I once again can just buy the thing I want rather than buy chances at the thing I want.

It’s overspending on headcount. Their burn rate eclipsed their income, and they didn’t have enough in the bank to keep the company afloat long enough to correct the situation. They tried to develop too many games at the same time, and their licenses probably put contractual obligations on delivery dates, meaning they…

The lengthening list of behaviors that you have to practice in order to avoid paying too much for a game that you may not want:

7. She goes to a Halloween party in blackface, and is shot by a cop who pulls her over for driving while black.

This is more than likely white women not wanting to be seen as “old” and taking it out on a kid.

Having dated men I met in bars and ALSO (even worse) shatting where I ate, I infinitely preferred meeting people online, but that’s just me. There were some other options for meeting people (kickball league, hiking meetups) but these weren’t huge single men dating pools, and they were already the kind of exhausting…

How delicate do you have to be to perceive a criticism of establishment activity as an attack on “centrist Democrats”? That the comparison of policy approach to a saltine cracker feels like an insult?

Petty despots love nothing more than using what little power they’ve gained to mess with people who they view as “less-than”. I’m sure this guy has some sort of “sincerely held religious belief” that he will bust out when called out on it, but that’s never been anything other than a fig leaf on this sort of person’s…

I fly Alaska all the time. Premium is referring to seats that have ~4" of legroom more than traditional coach that are between coach and First Class, and usually also include the exit rows. You also get free booze in these seats along with the extra leg room. If they wanted me to give up my premium seat for a…

“Meanwhile, a Safeway spokesperson told the news station that they were investigating why Martin was the one reported to police, adding that workers had called police because a man who had stolen before had returned to the store.”

“I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies,” Moretz wrote.”

We need to understand that the Bill of Rights isn’t some steadfast monolith which dispenses freedom to all around, it is an intruder alarm to guard freedom— a string of cans lain at the perimeter meant to clang and rattle and make the people aware when someone attempts to incur tyranny against liberty.

Assuming you aren’t trolling and legitimately need help:

What is this dark sorcery of which you speak? It sounds perilously similar to the follies and hubris of certain figures in myth and legend.

Surely you have heard the tragedy of Lords Alpha and Beta, and their foolhardy quest to test all the things of the world? One even casually familiar with the fable must certainly…

I mean, xenophobic bullshit is one way to divert the conversation, certainly.

I work for papa johns and i will say that we by far have the best pizza on the market . I do enjoy my job and everyone that i work with . However Johns use of the N word just showed his true ignorance because there are a lot of GM's that are black and are very very great employees an definitively an asset to the…

They don’t sell them is my thing. This is what I don’t understand. I can’t buy say, some random japanese game or a cult classic from NA I happen to love on the eshop, nor does Nintendo offer new retro consoles to buy it on, so I would have to go buy them used on Ebay and Nintendo doesn’t make a cent from it, so I do…

All these terrible policemen just ruin it for the seven or eight good ones. 

Wow. Just wow. First of all: Sitting in some chairs requires cops to ask if they have guns, and then check the man’s testicles and anus for...something? On what planet? This was a sexual assault. This pig stuck his finger up a man’s butt for a power trip--who knows if it was for his own sexual gratification as well.…

Your treatment has made me so angry. I’m so sorry this happened to you. You deserve justice, and I know you’ll ace the bar.
