I can see that perspective. I don’t think it’s valid because I don’t see it supported by numbers or even the preponderance of anecdotal evidence, but I’m open to being proven wrong on that score. I would suggest that, more likely, the number of avenues of communication that are available have increased and employees…

I think you have to be between nine and ten years for the “almost a decade” label.

You don’t toss death threats, hurl insults, verbally abuse, and stalk people who worked on a small part of a game you don’t like. I mean, that seems like it should be blindingly obvious.

It’s a strong opening. The judges seem impressed. Admiral Asskicker certainly knows how to begin a routine. If they continue like this, they could get gold.

“Im not really trying to do an “on the other hand”.”

No.  This is not the topic to try to go “but on the other hand”.  THERE IS NO OTHER HAND.  The toxicity needs to stop, end of conversation.

Gamers gotta be the #1 demographic for “People who think they know how something works but actually have no idea”.

I drive to work every day. I don’t pretend to think I know even 1% of how to make a car.

Let’s not lose perspective, we’re talking about luxury entertainment here. Piracy isn’t your only option, your main option is to just not play the game if you don’t like its price or monetisation. I’m saying this both as a former game developer and as someone who pirated a lot in my past: you’re not entitled to take…

Future? Digital has been a thing for almost twenty years at this point and PC has been all-digital for well over a decade. It’s been pretty great, actually. The PC game market has never been stronger and there are a ton of games that simply wouldn’t exist if games were still chained to retail.

Clearly people are ok with not owning their games or media and this is not new - renting was obviously massively popular pre-streaming.

ok

No dipping in a fluid to soften them; that’s weak. Even the cream cheese is kinda lame, because it will lubricate the esophagus somewhat. Ideally, it would be unsliced, whole bagels. Let the contestant bite into or tear apart per their own strategy.

Ok. Why does Twitch, in particular, need to be the place where it’s allowed? Or is the harm that causes just going to be tossed aside because society as a whole has more puritanical views - like how I gave multiple reasons why yes, there would in fact be something wrong. Is there any society, anywhere, where generally…

Good. Obviously, America as a whole has some troubled relationship with the concept, but not literally every website (or this one in particular) has to feature or be ok with [implied] nudity. There are plenty of sites where nudity is ok and encouraged and that’s great, but on twitch this gives unreasonable…

Good.

Just another day on Skyline. It's a tricky, twisty road and people frequently get out of their element and wrap it.

These cats are more memorable than any human NPC in Starfield. 

Myshka means “teddy bear”, or more accurately, a “female teddy bear” in some eastern European languages (like Polish) so, I would think that further solidifies her 1st place standing.

I don’t think the benefits of having a completely unique model for every cat would have justified the cost.
