You’d be surprised actually. Did a stint in my school’s varsity baseball team and coincidentally, I also collect swords as a hobby. I can say, from experience, it’s harder hitting a baseball with a sword than a bat. I suspect it’s something about the need to retain the orientation of your edge and the narrower cross…

My understanding is that Memes used just as a (non-commercial) joke or comment are considered Fair Use and are protected from lawsuit. Try to sell “Grumpy Cat” brand roasted coffee, and you may be sued for it for something like 700,000 USD.

Oh My God! I was expecting a manga artist, but it was him! Dio!

It’s not at all accurate and I think you owe whores an apology.

Actually supporting exclusives *is* bigger picture stuff so long as it doesn’t go overboard. Removing exclusives homogenizes the competitive environment. If companies lose the ability to differentiate themselves outside who makes cheaper/better hardware, the tendency is for there to be fewer competitors in the long run…

Jayden, is that you?

Dear lord, the lengths some people go through to avoid saying they made a mistake. It’s becoming clear you had no idea this guy is best known for torturing and abusing his pregnant girlfriend and you ran your mouth before knowing any better. That’s fine, but may I suggest shutting up now before you dig yourself any…

It’s only a reach if you’re ignorant about the details of this story.

Did you seriously just “Well, boys will be boys,” this?

They sometimes play voice comms on the show. From what I gather, even on teams that all speak the same language, there’s only time for the simplest forms of communication, which makes a common language not as critical as you think.

Eh, we’ve all gotten people we wouldn’t normally be friends with somehow becoming part of our regular group of friends. Like adopting a disabled puppy that shits the rug all the time. No one *likes* having their rugs shat on but, hey, that’s your puppy.

I get what you mean. It was the sound design that did it for me. Specifically the raspy *shwing* noise the guy’s sword was making with almost every contact (which i tend to associate with western productions).

Used to have both cats and hedgehogs in my home. They generally leave each other alone after a cautious sniff or two.

I think the problem is that people *are* expecting EA to do EA things and yet are still somehow disappointed.

Well, that’s the point. EA in particular keeps pulling stuff like this so people (fairly, in my opinion) don’t have alot of patience for EA shenanigans.

“Civilians”?

Crucially, it wasn’t even a pardon, which would have removed or at least sealed her criminal record. Commuting the sentence means she remains a convicted felon and is likely going to be unable to find decent work. She’s not white, not young, not male and has jobskills that are 20 years out of date. Toss criminal…
