Agreed with 8Ringer that EA ill-will caused a lot of people to be extra cautious about buying. Couple of my friends got burnt on anthem. As for this game though. I’m having a blast and trying to rope my friends into fleet battles. I’ve found some groups to play with on discord and those have been a ton of fun. Every…

Completely unsurprising. Like most games-as-a-service go, waiting remains the smartest way to enjoy them. Cheaper, and way more fun.

Far be it from me to throw shade as an American, but I do find it fascinating how casually Japanese exceptionalism gets toted out for this kind of thing. Plenty of people in plenty of places believe the world should adapt to them instead of the reverse, but Japanese people seem unusually comfortable stating such in…

“She was just like, well, this is journalism. You have to be objective. You have to be objective to be a journalist…Should the gatekeepers of journalism–predominantly older white men and more recently white women—get to decide what role a traditional definition of ‘objectivity’ should hold in the newsroom?”

Yeah I’m sorry but the students are being unprofessional babies. Griffin questioning the trans student’s name and history was the only thing in the whole article I actually found objectionable. The rest just sounds like they don’t want to learn to be journalists and think they already know everything.

Formal student journalist here - it’s the standard to use such language - if they wanted to challenge that standard/norm, they could explain their dilemma and the standard to their audience, as well as their resistance centered in naming unprovoked, systematic violence against Black people and name how the code…

Man, this was kind of confusing. Not because I think the students are somehow potentially in the wrong here, but rather that a lot of the stuff discussed is so vague. For example it would have been really beneficial to see an example of one of those criticisms by Griffin as at the moment it was ‘content good,…

i was with the students til this, “The staff was told that word had to be removed and instead replaced with “killing.” Journalists are required to use the word “killing” before a death is classified as murder by a court conviction, or the publication could be sued for libel.”

I have seen colickly babies read a room better.

Everything I’ve read about this seems to place all the blame for this incident on her terrible dorm mates. How are the cops not equally (or more) responsible for how terribly this turned out? The accusers lied that she threatened them with scissors. Clearly she wasn’t still threatening them even in their fictitious…

Ordinarily I’d be all about someone calling out the Oscars’ bullshit, but this just reeks of an edgelord emo teen screaming in your face “Look how much I keep it real with how dark and edgy I am! LOVE ME!”

Yuck. It’s not 2005, MS. Proprietary shit is old hat. I know we’re not talking about Sony but at least you can use a traditional HDD for the PS4 games. 

The wellness movement is largely built on the magical thinking we can control our fate with the correct behavior. Surely if we do enough yoga and eat only the correct things and find inner peace we’ll never ever get sick.

It makes sense that the “essential oils” crowd would fall for this QAnon nonsense. I haven’t met a single person who peddles essential oils who hasn’t been a complete dingbat.

good luck. Had one sitting in my cart twice. Went through the entire payment process both times and on the final confirmation screen... Sorry, out of stock.

Ok, but we’d really like to punch the people that do. The decision to present a popup asking me to subscribe to the newsletter ON EVERY PAGE LOAD instead of the previous one time dismissal DOES NOT MAKE ME WANT YOUR NEWSLETTER.

It’s pretty clearly not an esport. The ‘e’ stands for electronic. Maybe if you play in a video game format it might be, but plain old chess is not an esport. Or, if you want to say it is, then so is every sport, game, or pastime on earth. But I don’t think the fact something can be streamed or broadcast makes it…

Yeah, there was never actually a mystery here but I guess we just all need to pretend it’s some big question mark instead of the publisher wants more money to turn the graphics settings to ultra on console. womp womp.

believe it or not, most people actually own and play more than one video game

It’s virtually impossible to translate Ms. Marvel well as a playable character given her power is only limited by her imagination. You’d have to give her like a million moves to account for her growing, shrinking, stretching, cartoon-like abilities combined with her creative and excitable mind using them in unique…
