Next thing you know, the article will be the ad!

As always, ideas are free. The idea of something might sound great, but it means nothing at all without the execution to match. Lucas had a lot of bad ideas in the prequel trilogy, but none of them couldn’t have been salvaged by better writing, characterization, dialog, acting, and directing. If the execution of…

Paladin Danse is the worst for that shit. Half the time he’s like “Good. Never leave anything behind.” and the other half he says “You’re going to slow us down if you keep picking up that stuff.” Make up your mind!

One of the best things about New Vegas was the extremely satisfying Yes Man path, where you got to basically tell all the other factions they were full of shit and seize control of the wasteland for your own purposes. The closest thing to that kind of freedom in Fallout 4 was the Minutemen path, but that had many of…

Alright, I’m super lefty... but fuck this article and the horse it rode in on. First off, CO2 emissions from cars only make up 29% of the total emissions in the United States. A significant percentage, no doubt, but it pretty well pales in comparison to the combined output of energy production, industry, and…

PCs don’t cost anywhere near that much. You can put together something basic that will get the job done for $500. $1000 will get you a high-end setup that can play pretty much anything with aplomb. I have a PS4 right now, but only because I wanted simplicity and the ability to play The Last of Us.

Are you me? I’m from north Texas, which is basically a wealthy white conservative utopia. My home town has consistently been ranked one of the top 5 wealthiest midsized cities in the country. I’m a white milennial (and thankful for it, don’t get me wrong), but my single-parent household was never well-off. At this…

I don’t know, that’s kind of a hard question. The sort of thing that would require much thought and academic inquiry were we to consider it. You know what’s not hard? Changing the name of a popular football team so it’s not an offensive racial slur. Doing that would literally be the minimum effort we could possibly…

“I mean, geez, it’s not like anyone gave a shit about the genocide of the Native Americans while it was happening. Why should we care now?” -you

I was reading some of his comments in another thread, and yeah, this guy has some Ken M-level shit going on.

It’s got a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so that shows you what you get when you cherry pick a few reviews and form your opinions from that. The score indicates good-but-not-great-verging-on-mediocre, but for a movie like this, it can also just mean that expectations were unrealistically high.

I made Elder Scrolls and Fallout mods back in the day. It always cracks me up how little the Creation Kit engine has really changed at its core. The graphics and capabilities have improved immensely, but many of the same bizarre behaviors and seams have been with us since Morrowind. I don’t mind too much, though. I…

But she literally said she wonders if she would have been less successful as a skinny person... so I’m really not sure what you mean

The truly fucked-up part is that even at companies which offer paid leave, many people do not take very much of it to avoid being perceived as “lazy” or “not a team player”, and thus being passed over for promotions and raises. My company offers a month of paid leave for dads, but one of my coworkers who’s having a…

So you’re saying that to fix New York’s affordable housing problems, the first step should be to eliminate literally the only mechanism by which any affordable housing exists in the city at all?

I quit smoking weed two years ago for this exact reason. When I was a teenager I could use it without issue, which I attribute to its early euphoric effects and the fact that my GAD hadn’t fully manifested at the time. These days, though? Literally one puff sends me into a death spiral of negativity, fear, and…

I never get to participate in the collective shock of these posts since I turned off all my Google histories years ago :(

That’s supposed to be one of the differentiating factors for Apple Music. They’ve heavily touted the fact that they have real people creating curated playlists. A lot of that stuff carried over from Beats Music. If you’ll recall, the existing collection of playlists was supposedly the thing that convinced Tim Cook to…

Nobody is going to throw these parents in jail or tie the children down and force them to get vaccinated. They simply won't be allowed to attend public school, where they might put thousands of other children at risk.

Yeah, that really should not be the headline. Jurassic World is on track to become the new highest-grossing movie of all time. $95 million against its second weekend is very admirable.
