Still corporate speak for he’s not fired as of this moment. I suspect he will serve to finalize the acquisition and requisite hand offs and then sail off into hell.

Not true. Words have historical contexts that shape their connotative meaning. “Cracker” has none of the (frankly despicable) historical context of systemic oppression that slurs like the n-word have. Words like the n-word were used to express white dominance over another race and culture. Words like “cracker” were…

I mean, that’s true in the literal sense. He did, in fact, do something.

I think it’s a combination of the game being open world and actual missions being small “dungeon” style encounters that can be tackled out of order, as well as a troubled development.

I don’t buy it.

I don’t HATE them, but I also can’t ignore what’s wrong. In my impressions from yesterday I shared what I liked and I do think, outside of visual bugs and the rain, the world and cities look great. I even like some of the models. (Claude looks great, i think) 

Every video game site is ripping into them. And for good reason. Rockstar’s heavy handed approach to the modders, removal of the originals for sale, and shitty eventual product release, deserves all the hate it gets.

I mean, there’s a lot to hate. They’re objectively poorly made, and R* removed the ability to buy the original games to replace them with this trash.

Based and PS2 pilled

Lol. Even this is technically wrong. From a quote of another person involved, the toy Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story is based on a very successful live action (in universe) movie which spawned a cartoon in the Toy Story universe (which they actually made called Buzz Lightyear: Star Command) and the toy is based on that…

I would like to point out that someone being an asshole by following you, stealing your shit, keeping your from finishing tasks, or killing you is the point of the game, and not what this article is about.

This was an exceedingly well-written article that has actually changed my mind about the show. My wife has always seen the “goofy” cop premise as problematic, but I never really understood why until now. It will also be extremely awkward if they air the next season without addressing any of the national conversation,…

That job shouldn’t be handled by a cop. Next.

You’re missing the point of ACAB - as the policing system currently stands, it is impossible for a cop to be good, regardless of their personal intentions. That’s clear in the article given examples of these “good cops” using illegal methods to “protect their communities.” The way policing in this country is…

You can’t argue that pop culture doesn’t influence actual culture in a country with a reality TV star as the president.  

Isn’t the answer that the good police officers work from within the system to bring about systemic change and root out corruption?

Unfortunately that seems to be the opposite in most situations. And it’s something a lot of police hiring and training tries to get rid of. 

Activision makes this decision while also hoping people forgot about what they’ve done to those vocalizing their support of the Hong Kong protests. Though the act has its good will it’s disingenuous coming from the corporation.

She’s been at this a long time. Her Wikipedia page calls her an anti-vaxxer and conspiracy freak. Several pages describe her activities before she took this current opportunity to scare and misinform people:

I love origins and odyssey as games, but they aren’t AC games to me.
