I get music producers and content creators using gaming laptops, since the specs translate well into those fields, but this sounds like “I had this for games and can’t be bothered keeping my personal and professional life separate” which sure bodes super great for this legal team.

The only shocking thing here is that people are still shocked by EA’s shady business practices.

I’ve always hated having to wait for time specific things in games. Just give me the quest marker and have an option to “jump to X time to start mission?” option.

So management thought dumping crazy amounts of money into free game giveaways and exclusives, cancelling every in development game besides Fortnite, and starting a legal war with Apple would pay off, and it hasn’t.

It’s sick that this AG is more upset over a Dr doing her job than the fact that a 10 y/o was raped and became pregnant and required travel to seek the medical care just to, hopefully, go back to being a child.

The GQP is sick. 

*She* did not defend TROS, she simply pointed out a single good scene from it. 

I don’t think Ahsoka (the character) is saying that the Jedi “suck” or that they would be wrong for not training someone like Sabine, I think she’s saying that the Jedi discounted the abilities and contributions of everyone whose Force-sensitivity ranked below a certain threshold (and Huyang, as a “living” embodiment…

I think that’s a disingenuous take. It absolves the development team for introducing deep ideas they couldn’t —- or wouldn’t —- deal with in any significant manner. The game explicitly sets up a world where slavery exists in mass form; the game is responsible for then navigating that appropriately.

People say the Left eats itself when we call out literally anything because the Right doesn’t understand the concept of holding yourselves to your own standards. Sometimes people freak out over a character’s skin being drawn a percent lighter than canon, but you hear “the Left eats itself” every time there’s any kind…

I think the lack of women at these is indicative of a larger problem, which is in itself indicative of an even larger problem.

Sage Steele is being paid by ESPN to STFU and sit out her contract, and she dumps on black men every chance.

I agree that the vitriol is mostly unwarranted, but the state of the game is far from fine. They've been phoning it in for ages now. And PvP folks have been completely ignored for ages.

I mean, I kinda do feel for the guy. Here he is just trying to make a serviceable Taken ripoff, succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, and just when he thinks he can cash in with some low budget straight to video sequels, he has to deal with all the Q anon nonsense.

Given that he found out about the conservatorship earlier this year in legal discovery rather than from them, I suspect they haven’t been on speaking terms for a while.

If they’d legally adopted him, he would be entitled to the same inheritance as their biological children. He probably only just found out that he wasn’t, so now he wants compensation for all the money they made off him. I’m sure he knew he wasn’t getting checks from the book/movie, but he probably didn’t worry too…

He was aware of the conservatorship. But he entered into it under the impression that it made him a “member of the family,” which apparently it did not.

Capitalism means the exploitation of the surplus value of labour of the working class to the enrichment of property holders.

Capitalism(late-stage at least)and fascism tend to be bunk buddies when it comes to giving a lot of corporate/oligarch power, protecting it, and utilizing it as a bastion of control over the masses. One can lead to the other as there are similarities. And yes, the US following the 1800s(Andrew Jackson)were the…

People mean different things when they say it. Some people are just purists who want to see the source material realised in a new medium. Others aren’t arguing in good faith at all.

Anybody who has drawn a regularly updated comic: “Yeah, I get it.”
