So I hung in there through the “we didn’t evolve” and the “extream love”, but had to tap out at “Asians are super creative.”

The Witcher 3 is a definite never-uninstall for me (technically I had to when I dropped an SSD into my PC, but I hardly think that counts).
It’s just one of those games that will always deserve a replay, no matter how many times I’ve been through it.
I liked Sera, she is probably one of the more grounded characters (along with Iron Bull). She actually felt like a real person instead of an archetype.
...while people are happy to cite a commitment to historical accuracy to explain Kingdom Come’s anti-diversity stance, that didn’t stop its developers from adding borderline-magical potions, overt references to other video games, and heaps of modern slang in the conversational dialogue. As with so much else about Kingd…
Y’know what? Thanks for taking the time to break things down to the level you did; there’s a tendency in current social discourse to immediately take the most emotionally-reflexive and intellectually simple reaction to any situation, and I really appreciate that you slowed down and broke this situation into its…
Seriously though.
If whether or not you like an artist’s work has anything at all to wanting to see him brough down for sexual harassment or abuse of power, you are MISSING THE POINT.
I’ve played through the original trilogy 4 separate times (Male and Female, both Renegade and Paragon). I can quote many of the scenes by heart; other scenes I can play with my eyes closed. One of these days I swear I’ll go and get the TWO missing achievements from the entire trilogy (1 from 1, 1 from 3 DLC). I own…
First impressions are a real bitch. I had six to seven months of fun with ME:A, but even at bargain prices, you will still have a hella of a time convincing folks that the game is not cancer, just lukewarm which may be the most damning thing about it, coming off of ME1-3.
Yeah, I’m good with this. Time to set everything on fire.
I believe this is the culmination of the entirety of human civilization.
My husband and I used to have this problem. If we have a stressor, I want to discuss it to death and he wants to leave it alone until he’s ready. We finally agreed on a ten minute venting session where I can let fly, and then we put it away. It’s been surprisingly good for me, he’s much less stressed, and we don’t…
This is the ultimate point in all this, imo:
Nazis are people.
Nazis are human beings.
They were young once. They have parents. Many are parents, or will be. They have dreams. They have feelings. They have human bodies. They sleep. They get sick. They age.
And they still deserve to be shot.
That’s very fucking important
I mean, I would get it if the piece were saying, “Your neighbors can seem totally normal, but still be Nazis, which is how insidious this kind of thing can be,” as sort of a cautionary tale, but it’s going the opposite direction, “Yeah, I might be a Nazi, but I like Twin Peaks, just like you, so I’m cool!”
My dad once told me a story from the old country about a guy he was acquainted with. Nice guy. Everybody thought so. Normal, respectful, upstanding fellow. One day they were talking about a recent news event: a man had been discovered to be a member of a persecuted religious minority/scapegoat, dragged to the edge of…
I got a subscription to a couple of newspapers after the election but NYT was not one of them. I know there were lots of mistake that all the papers made in giving Clinton more negative Coverage than Trump but NYT was the worst of them.
Journalists interviewing people like this and pointing out their “manners” or “politeness” is a recurring theme, and an especially annoying one. Jon Ronson has done it, and I was disappointed to see George Saunders (who I consider one of America’s best living writers) flirt with it when he covered Trump rallies.
Though you forgot to mention the one time where the strip comes full circle and a real person, Calvin’s one nemesis no less, actually plays calvinball with him towards the end of the strip’s run
