Do tell.

I’m genuinely glad that works for you. Wish it would for me. I’ve been able to get an elderly couple to stop talking in the middle of an R-rated action movie (surprised they were there) and got a young man to put his phone away when he was right in front of us.

Conversely, “Please stop talking” has gotten me…

Pretty sure it’s about abortion. Like “Slide” by the Goo Goo Dolls. Or “Brick” by Ben Folds Five. Or...

In the 10 years Northern State’s Common Read program has been choosing books, they have chosen a relatively diverse range: five of the books were written by women, three of those five by women of color. Those numbers could be better...

Everyone even slightly on the college student’s side would probably enjoy reading Ruth Graham’s smackdown on the entitled authors described in this piece: https://slate.com/culture/2019/11/sarah-dessen-ya-books-authors-brooke-nelson-social-media-attack.html

Very well said.

You are not competent to determine what are the acceptable reasons to not want to stream with women.
You are not competent to determine what his decision means and whether he needs therapy.
You are not competent to determine that he doesn’t have a wandering eye and is thus guarding against a very real threat he…

If the argument seems silly, you definitely have the right to stop engaging with it. Seems like what you’d want to do, in any case. But I know how untenable it is for most people to let someone continue being wrong on the Internet, so...

Riot is milking their game by making one game, devoting the entirety of their…

They’re a game company that has made one game in ten years. I don’t really mind them continuing to make games out of Runeterra, though, y’know, which champs make good fighting game characters besides... Lee Sin is the only one springing to mind. I just think the artists and other creatives could come up with some…

So am I gathering correctly that the fighting game will use League characters? I don’t hate that idea, but I think I woulda preferred a whole new IP. Riot sure is milking their one game, eh?

I don’t see where you can see Kotaku being disengenuous. If they support freedom for Hong Kong, then reporting about this Blizzard fiasco both puts money in their pockets and raises visibility for the cause they believe in. Why not engage in this win-win?

If they don’t support Hong Kong’s fight for freedom, they you…

Those rascally journalists and gaming news websites, making money off of reporting current and popular gaming news! /s

If you care so much about Hong Kong (a laudable thing, to be sure!), are you going to donate money to the cause? Just wondering.

No, and he never had a scouter, either. Nor did he ever wear his sword while wearing the Saiyan armor. Guess the dude’s going for a mashup thing.

That this is the world Bari Weiss has chosen to move in should tell you everything you need to know. That it is the kind of world the New York Times is choosing to celebrate should also tell you everything you need to know.

I think you mean “BUSTAH WUUULF!” :P

You’ve seen gravity powers and Jekyll/Hyde before. I’ll grant you that.

What would you say you haven’t seen before? What’s something that, when you saw it, struck you as a brand-new idea and not a riff on an older concept or just two different tropes put together?

I genuinely curious. What’s the last “new” thing you’ve…

IKR? I decided to buy another year of Amazon Prime bc they started giving out free games on Twitch, but the last few months have been really lackluster, such that I forget I have anything on that platform. If they don’t improve, I’ll just stop the subscription next year.

I have this on Twitch, and I can’t tell if it auto-D/L’ed the DLC or not. Any help?

I don’t really understand why people do the “I have complicated feelings about America” thing, except insomuch as many citizens present the country as havin had no real flaws or mistakes in its history. I prefer “I have complicated feelings about human history” instead.

That said, if you want Side-Eye at America in…

I don’t care about Shenmue, and I would quickly download the Epic Store if, let’s say, Hollow Knight: Silksong became an exclusive (though that would suck)...

But this starts and stops on one thing: the developers made an agreement with the backers (who are the reason the game is even getting made in the first place!),…
