I tend to really enjoy the combat...but it seems to me that’s the only thing it has going for it. And for those like you who don’t seem to care for the combat, I can definitely see the reasons behind that disdain.

Slightly out of topic...but Ghandi did have more than a few faults, several of which really would ruin the saintly kind of image many people have of him. Sure, his nonviolence movements were pretty awesome...but his racism, support of the caste system, and several other behaviors kind of make him out to be an…

I’m pretty sure they’re leaning on that supposed quote from Trump about how he could lie to dumb republican voters and get great numbers.

As one who helped kickstart, this game has a great feel to it. Haven’t played the final version yet, I only had the chance to try the beta for awhile. Which mostly amounted to having fun with the river and finding neat stuff and then promptly being devoured by wolves. While they balanced things up later (so I hear),…

I’m kind of curious what China might do if NK crosses a line and starts crap. China doesn’t want that on its doorstep, but I’m wondering, if war seems inevitable, if NK was the one who started this thing, would China be the ones to finish it?

With the widely-held GOP opposition to birth control, abortion, and sex education, you nailed it. Their stances here aren’t compatible with any kind of feminism I’m aware of.

I think you’ll find that the “but everyone was doing it” excuse can wear thin, and that becomes all the more apparent as the scale of the crime escalates (corruption, scandal, we can even godwin the argument and go straight to genocide).

Bravo for the Last Unicorn tweet.

Everyone’s bound to trip on something easy or obvious with this game, eventually.

It’s only a matter of time before the Elders start buffing their network and intrusion-countermeasure encryption with Witness puzzles.

Well, I guess your experiences vary, but I for one DID come for the picnic. Much shorter line when things are burning and the resistance is dodging plasma shots. Plus they have tea. Hard to find real tea these days. I was so busy savoring it that I almost forgot about the dying civilians. Thank GOODNESS Bradford was…

Looking for some real answers for the real questions here.

Oh, and...

That news update came from the moon.

+ Snipers start with Squad Sight, you don’t have to sacrifice something else for it (though you do have to choose between Squad Sight Overwatch and another thing)

I left my helm of troll detection at home today.

Or, I guess, in the spirit of cosplay and geekdom, here’s a terrible example I came up with in the shower.

The thing that complicates this is that for people of color, safe cultural spaces are an important thing. Those of white culture typically don’t even know this is a thing, or downplay it because we’ve never viewed things that way, since media reflects our culture and appearance richly and in abundance.

Honestly I can’t make that call. That gets a little close to the edge. While I could see that going either way (and I wouldn’t be surprised by a strange look or comment on it, at the very least), I’m not black, so it’s not on me to determine what’s offensive or not in these fuzzy areas, just to listen and learn (and…
