Review bombers won’t have as much power to affect games’ standing with the Steam algorithm, but this could also just encourage review bombers to find other ways to evolve their tactics and get through what sounds like some still worryingly large loopholes. Time will tell.

Omar came out on top, though, so it wasn’t even a political blunder. The people on the left side of the aisle who tried to fuck with her were forced to back down, and the right-wing Fox News chuds who fuck with her now are only raising her profile and making her more credible, just like AOC. Not sure how this even…

Everything you wrote here is 100% on-point. Which is why studios/publishers should actually sack up and leave these communities behind when shit gets bad. I don’t want to hear about how sad it makes the devs feel when people are mean to them online. I don’t really give a shit. They have the ability to walk away, and…

Then stop engaging “the community”! Jesus Christ. We’re in this absurd situation where studios and publishers love community engagement when everyone’s a fanboy and it all works in their favor, but can’t handle it when people aren’t in their corner, and regret paying the better part of $100 into the shit they hyped…

She also said it about Medicare For All. I don’t give a flying fuck about impeachment.

Before any change can occur, somebody has to at least be willing to imagine a world in which things are not as they are now. When assholes like Pelosi say shit like “that just isn’t going to happen” in regards to X, they presume that there is no room for ambition in the political process, which is an entirely…

Oh yes, I know it’s such a tedious opinion that Hillary didn’t have adequate in-party competition from the collective braintrust of Lincoln Chafee, Jim Webb, and Martin O’Malley, three out-of-office, back-bench nobodies. I really should give those dudes more respect as 2016 primary challengers. Primo competition from…

No, but most people at least have some idea of who they might favor at this point, and it’s hard to see where Beto fits into that calculus right now.

So in other words, you’ve become a reactionary crank in your middle age. Fun!

I mean, I can’t help but agree with the sentiment. In the abstract, the arguments presented in this piece are excellent, but whenever it crosses my mind that we’re talking about glorified blogging, the ideas lose a bit of their edge. Part of the reason why the labor situation in media is so shitty is because the…

Naturally, you won’t think it qualifies because you apparently disagree with it. But who really gives a shit what you think in the first place?

I’ve said it before into the Kinja void, but I would literally vote for a shoe or a chicken if they were given the Dem nomination.

This guy legitimately fucking sucks. We get that you are bored with your life Beto, a lot of us are, but just hurry up and go become the cool hip youth pastor you so desperately want to be.

Trump has forever and eternally destroyed the idea of being too inexperienced to run for president.

But I’d be happy with either of them as the ultimate nominee, because I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN AN ACTUAL FASCIST DICTATORSHIP.

If my comment doesn’t describe you, then it wasn’t meant for you. I’m talking about people who speak out one side of their mouth about primaries being the time when it’s okay to debate relative merits and demerits of candidates, and then once the primary actually fucking begins, they try to clamp down on that shit. If…

Who fucking cares? I’m not here to defend the honor of the Splinter writers. One thing worth mentioning, though, is that they are individuals. This idea that they share all opinions in common is bizarre.

I’m a pragmatic leftist who understands that you have to vote for the best option of the ones you are given. The purity progressivism on constant display on this site is how we’re going to lose 2020.

I don’t think it was common knowledge that rich people actually committed fraud to get their kids into elite universities, no. We all knew about legacy admissions, and kids conveniently being accepted if they didn’t have atrocious SAT scores and their parents donated to put new wings on academic buildings, etc. These…
