The problem was that we had been given too many choices, and there was just no way that the developers could’ve possibly respected all of them well. It’s a general problem that choice-driven series face when they’re able to push off the consequences of a choice onto a future dev team.

And at every Walrus Christmas, the little ones would gather around to hear the story of that time Grandma flatlined a guy.

Speaking of targeted harassment... I was swatted a few weeks ago and, after working with the police, we have narrowed it down to someone from this community (Kotaku).

Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard is in a whole other stratosphere.

Dilly dally shilly shally, amirite gamers?

Police in a Pod.

The 3rd season I liked more than the 2nd or 4th, but that’s because I’ve found the whole “almonds are sucking up a insane amount of water” thing fascinating to learn about.

I never hated FFXIII as many other people did -- I actually disliked IX way more comparatively speaking. 

“Need to get bullied”. Right. Of course.

No matter how bad a game is, people should be comfortable stating if they personally like a game. Occasionally even trash titles can have enough niche elements that end up reaching a handful of people.

hmmm... about the “show, don’t tell” stuff, I enjoyed how CB used clichés to let viewers connect the dots themselves about the characters, so it can free enough time to just focus on visuals and music.

Because I watched the anime prior to the live action and felt like one of the anime’s *weaknesses* was an overreliance on “cool” over “logic”. The live action version over corrected FOR SURE but to act like the anime’s choice to blow past answers to…

“I use anime titty mouse pads for the comfort” is the new “I read Playboy for the articles.”

I mean... we kinda have to see the movie first to even start to assess that, right? I’m not the biggest fan of how superhero films have subsumed basically everything in pop culture, in how the dominant form of superhero film is the live-action PG-13 epic, a form that does the least with all the opportunities superhero…

At the risk of looking invested in a stance I really don’t have: worth noting that SHE clearly cares about optics. A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. And yet, for someone who cares as much as she does, she fumbles consistently.

I mean this is mostly an eyeroll because of course she didn’t get it, but also, a lot of other…

You’re 100% right that nobody really cares.

Wait til the author finds out how much the actors in that show got paid to “pretend to be poor people”...

We need a host we can see.
