I didn’t say that Kotaku or anyone else should consider the publisher’s feelings. In fact:

Please, don't remind me of the twilight zone that is the current Presidential race. I'm already on anti-depressants.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said right from the start.

But who decides what’s unreasonable?

You know what really frightens and angers me? The fact that this man is going to be the next President of the United States. Even if he doesn’t get the nomination, he’ll still run, and he’ll win. Because he’s a known public figure who is popular for some reason, and—more chilling—because a sickening majority of…

I understand why Kotaku ran the news about Fallout 4 and Assassin’s Creed, and support your publication doing so. After all, you’re in the business of gaming news and criticism. Kind of hard to sell your product if it has neither news nor criticism.

“Yeah, boss, I'm gonna have to go home early. See, someone on the Internet blew my mind and I've forgotten how to brain."

I thought you were done with me.

What if somebody purchased the game upon release, didn’t get it refunded (maybe it worked for them), but chose to write a review after the final release date? The Steam Client sees that the person owned the game before the release date (which would have been updated in Steam’s database) and stamps the review as…

Okay.

Again, frequency and intent. Death threats against women happen much more frequently and have a far more serious—you could even say sinister—intent. They are a bigger problem and demand more attention. Yes, there’s a certain amount of click-baiting involved in running those stories during peak hours, but then again…

Yes, men get them as well. It was just over a year ago that a game developer issued a death threat to Gabe Newell. Reviewers have gotten death threats for giving poor reviews, and men in the gaming industry and culture who stand up for their female peers get death threats for doing so.

I have nothing but sympathy for this mother and her family, and hope that whatever comfort she can find in the wake of this tragedy comes to her soon.

I can buy that a homeowner was able to scare off somebody trying to break in by drawing a gun on them. I won’t buy that a civilian with no rigorous marksmanship and live-fire combat training would be able to stop a heavily-armed assailant in a crowded public space.

Their private, on-demand transportation is taxpayer funded. They can do five days in Washington, five days at home. Travel on the weekends.

I spend most of my off days buying supplies, reading book reviews to determine what to add to our school library, designing instructional sessions for students and staff, reading professional material, and exchanging emails with administration and instructional staff to make sure everything about our school library…

No.

It’s kinda-sorta been done. Jeffrey Deaver’s Bond from Carte Blanche is actually quite modern and progressive (at least in comparison to the source material). One of the better scenes is when he talks himself out of making the moves on a female co-worker because she just got out of relationship and is vulnerable.…

Can’t tell if you’re trolling or not, but...

That was painful to watch.
