I think you meant that one for your fetish chatroom. That’s the danger of having multiple tabs open. No judgement here.

Oof.

HAHAHAHAH, holy shit. I bet you did that with a straight face and not a hint of self-reflection, too.

But how else will I keep up with your hard-hitting journalism ethics investigations?

LOL, did you hide my replies?  Hasn’t Matlock taught you that hiding evidence never works?  It’s the cover-up that gets you!

I haven’t played the latest one, but previous games sort of straddled the middle ground between sim and arcade racers.  

That hurts coming from someone who is entertained by Matlock.  

Of course it was. You couldn’t possibly be alluding to the idea that Google was paying Paul to write about Stadia, because that would be an unfounded, slanderous accusation for which you can’t possible provide a shred of proof, which would just be a completely childish and stupid thing for you to do.  You’re not that…

What, are you more of a Murder, She Wrote fan?

Yes, it turns out game journalists are paid to write about video games.  You really cracked that one wide open, Columbo. Way to go.  

So a dude who was raised in a wacky religion was a part of that wacky religion for a while until he wasn’t anymore.

Somehow I had no idea there was a new Grid racing game.

Then why did they specifically put in mechanics to prevent involuntary PVP?

None of that answers my question: why would they do this if they don’t have to?  Where is the incentive for their company to invest the time and effort in that?

It’s a PVE game, and there are mechanics put in place specifically to prevent this behavior. These players are just using an exploit to circumvent the rules of the game specifically to ruin other people’s enjoyment.

“What about my experience being an asshole?”

They could if they thought it was worth it, but why would they?

There’s no guarantee of that. Even if it does, it takes about a century for a corporate work to enter the public domain, and that’s assuming the rights holder doesn’t fight it.

That depends on who you’re talking to.  Like anything else in the world, some people will take offense, and some won’t care.
