Okay, but at some point it’s just like, why not have an easy mode? What do people who play at the regular difficulties (or even higher difficulties) lose out on by there being an easy mode? Nothing. It’s kind of petty for a game to have as one of its foregrounded features the idea that it’s about reinforcing the…

I’m all for this kind of thing in places where there’s already ample mass transit to handle traffic, and privileged folks just drive because they can afford the parking and it’s yet another thing separating them from the proles. But I really hesitate to support these kinds of measures in general, or things like hiking…

The Sarah Huckabee Sanders thing is disappointing. She’s giving us so many valid reasons to spew hate at her until she withers away and dies. Her looks are absolutely none of those reasons.

Shit being “hard” has never been an excuse to straight give up to anywhere near the same extent as it seems to be now. Face it, your fatalistic outlook is a convenient byproduct of the fact that you don’t give a shit.

... and Democratic voters will begin making intelligent choices about who has the best chance of beating Trump in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. 

I honestly don’t care what they turn the game into at this point. It’s fine if other people decide to support Fallout 76. that’s totally cool. But I’m sick of studios churning out unfinished, directionless games, and then developing “road maps” to repair the carnage over time. It’s 100% about getting people to invest…

I still don’t get who these phones are for. Great, you got more internet browsing area. Think that space is going to be usable for larger video viewing? Nope. It’s the wrong aspect ratio, so get ready for black bars.\

Don’t be fooled by the centrists pretending they don’t love Biden. If it were Bernie or Biden, they’d pick Biden every single goddamned time, #MeToo moment or no.

Remember when “punishing” just used to mean “difficult”?

As someone who spends at least six and more likely twelve hours in front of my computer every day, I definitely fall into the camp of people who know they’re slowly destroying their eyes, but also the camp of people who are making zero moves to change that.

This is an article about Terry McAuliffe, and you are the target audience. Perhaps you’ve come to the mistaken conclusion that Splinter is about reaching out to leftists? It isn’t. It’s about riling up assholes like you, while leftists stand by watching and laughing. And it’s been pretty damned effective.

Biden is apparently ahead in quite a few races though, which is pretty terrifying.

Can we stop with the “white dude” shit? McAuliffe himself—what he’s done and what he represents—is enough to not want him to run. If he were a “white dude” with good political views and ideas, it would be a benefit for him to run.

When the term “virtue signal” makes its appearance, we all have a pretty good idea of what we arfe dealing with.

YES! I hate Latinx (Latina here). I refuse to use it. Its so stupid and LatinAmericans actually living in Latin America don’t recognize it as a word.

Yeah, this is exactly it. I don’t think we can safely and cleanly file away all critiques of PC/identity politics/whatever in the same bin. There has to be room for critiques of bad actors. And as little as some people might want to believe it, there exist people who will use these supposedly spotless bags of ideology…

Louis-Dreyfus first articulated this thought in an interview with Time, in which she said, “I think as soon as people start bitching about ‘politically correct,’ it’s a term for something else [...] I’m in favor of political correctness. I’m suspicious of those who have a problem with it. I think it is language for…

And yet, it’s because Draymond goes so big all the time that he ends up getting far more of a pass than he should. Dude gets kicked out a lot compared to the average player, but his behavior is so inexplicably shitty that he should be getting kicked out way more than he does. If you go overboard, you can get away with…

Why not just use a branded bottled that previously contained a legal beverage? Seriously? Kids haven’t developed better underage-drinking game than we had in the ‘90s? This may be the dumbest “teen trend” I’ve ever heard of.

Most people would just not go back. I don’t think most people who get too little meat on a sub start tweeting at corporate, or otherwise going back and forth about it. I mean, seriously. Yes, I get it. For a few people, it’s the principle of the thing. But most people just know where they won’t be eating next time.
