I like how this sits side-by-side with yet another article about what a shithole company Bethesda is to work for. Are we suppose to celebrate this or...?

It’s not just the advisers; Cities has a really toxic approach to civic planning that leaves me cold.

No, actually, I don’t think I should plow a multi-lane road through this quiet residential area to ‘improve traffic’, since widening roads does not ever led to actually improving traffic because that’s not how induced

Why did I come to this party?

Which I’ve never understood because Cities: Skylines is a glorified traffic simulator and a profoundly shitty Sim City clone that nails nothing that made the best of that series good—which goes to show just how bad the Aways-Online Sim City was that Cities could take its place.

Why yes, we here at EA’s social media teams often play videos game. I myself play the FEETAFA spots game many times a day. I love the risk and reward of its funtainment gamblebox system, and I enjoy using the videoed game controller and online connectivity for lots of engagement.

Highly distress at his inbox of 50000+ unread steam messages.

I am obsessed by the baffling edit that opens this video: the guy swoops in, gets punched, the camera cuts awkwardly behind him as a the suited actor goes into the stairs: boy that’s some clunky camera work.

When Rich Crazy Asians came out, the Asian-American community praised it for its diverse casting and focus on Asian-oriented experiences. In Asia, however, the film was heavily criticized for whitewashing due to its casting primarily lighter-skinned ethnic-Chinese actors, and erasing the presence of Singapore’s

I feel if we’d just committed to refusing to ever use the term ‘Grogu’ aloud Disney would have eventually realized the error of its ways.

Yes this cocktail is stupid, but it’s still not nearly as stupid as A) naming Baby Yoda B) ‘Grogu.

JUST LET HIM BE A FUCKING HERMIT IN THE DESERT! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

I had a Panamanian friend who lit into me once for using the term “Latinx” as she considered it nothing but a white colonialist American term, so while that’s 100% nothing but a single data point of anecdata from a very small sample size, I’m not sure people in Latin-America would describe themselves as “-Latinx

Oh shit, I’ve been playing the PS4 Spider-Man game (not the Miles one), and I’m spending an awful lot of time with a Black cop named ‘Jefferson Davis,’ and I keep thinking ‘that’s a strange name for a Black American to have, it feels like,’ but I didn’t realize it was supposed to be Miles’ dad!

I’m hoping what we get in the third season is a cameo from the later seasons of Trek, like my personal favourite ‘episodes of television that don’t make me want die from mortification and disgust.’

“The series drew fascinating parallels to its source”

That’s a... very generous description of this episode.

And this is why I gave up reading all the long-runners: nothing ever sticks, even the stuff you think is vital, or made you fall in love in the first place. Hang around long enough and you’re just reading stories about someone you don’t recognize, because your Batman would hug his adopted daughter Cassie in the rain,

I’d like to hope that the wretchedness if GOT’s final season would cause people to cast a critical eye on its others seasons, and maybe start questioning whether the story was worth the investment, because the show started treating its characters poorly long before the show ended, always operating on the assumption

Of course that’s true for any pile of cocaine...

Or a year ago. Or five years ago. Or eight years ago. Or when St. James (nee Vanderwerff) was here. Or ten years ago. Or fifteen years ago for pity’s sake.

Reflex.

Fuck Bruno.

Fuck everything about his pathetic ;woe-is-e’ ‘waiting for the right time’ posturing—I say this as someone who was Bruno, essentially, which means I know that if you don’t make your move with years of opportunity to do so (and, also, no chemistry between him and his crush buddy’s she’s not into
you), I have
