I live in NM. Thanks for writing about this, Anna. A couple of things to note: First, given that the dems do control the Senate, I am hopeful this bill will go nowhere when it leaves the House. It’s infuriating, and I’m frustrated that the state is tipping rightward, but the damage is contained for now.

This conversation is frustrating that way, but I think it’s just a result of the fact that black people/POC are not this monolithic mass of people who all want the same things in the same ways. Unfortunately, there is no final authority on the subject of race relations. Most of the academic debate on this takes place…

This is a machine that retailed for $650 when it came out this summer. The specs for the price are really pretty phenomenal, honestly—the screen is low-res, but at 11.6 inches and with IPS it will probably look alright. Battery life is also only 5 hours, though I think I may be able to squeeze out more by installing…

Venezuela is on the verge of bankruptcy because its government is reliant on oil sales for revenue. Oil prices collapsed, and the government began collapsing too.

Well, personally, I feel like this album sounds very unfinished—but I mean that in a good way.

Analog dick pics! OMG

Wish there was someone who cared about ethics in game journalism to make this a big issue.

Yeah, sounds about right. Ergonomics and poor displays have been the two biggest problems with the Oculus from day 1. Early models also had really poor refresh rates and response times, greatly increasing the disorientation and motion sickness that people felt. They’ve improved the ergonomics tremendously and the…

Depending on which dev kit you used, the problem may have been due to the Oculus’ use of PenTile displays. PenTile uses a smaller sub-pixel for the color green, causing a very noticeable “screen door effect” and a significant loss of sharpness and color reproduction at certain resolutions and distances. This was a big…

This picture oh my god I can’t breathe

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…

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.

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…
