It literally got a little bit better.

Read the column again. I’m sure some people are angry because they wanted Daenerys to be the good guy and win the game, but all the serious criticism i’ve read is about the execution, not the character turn per se.

As a lifelong Knicks fan let me proclaim that any team that’s owned by James Dolan doesn’t deserve shit. He’s the freaking darkness reaching out for more darkness. He’s Nixon’s paranoia combined with Trump’s incompetence. They don’t deserve any good young player because they would, based on recent history, stunt that…

Pelicans fan here. Everyone can kiss my ass he’s our hostage. 

This is horseshit. Good for New Orleans. Fuck New York. Fuck Boston. Fuck LA.

Stick with it. The first few chapters of The Fifth Season take a little settling into (particularly that use of direct address), but the jumpy narrative calms down, and it’s a rewarding read.

“When he opens his mouth it’s a vacuous hole: There’s little room for a brain or anything else.”

McDonald’s is a thing = TRUTH

Or for my family and friends in Puerto Rico...? 

“isn’t it about time to take a more nuanced look..”

Hey: nah. Blackface is bad. Darkening your skin tone to alter your perceived race, even for cosplay, is bad.

1) Who? Bring receipts

Just...just wear the clothes. We know who it is, the costume’s good and fine on its own, there’s no need to Blackface it up. Jesus, why is this so hard?

Yeah just don’t do that. 

Coming back to this in the morning and seeing a lot of “Heather, leave this this to us hardcore gamers if you can’t beat it.” or whatever and I just gotta... like... remind folks who I am and what I do for a living:

We can talk about difficult as an aesthetic choice all we want and I’m down for that discussion (failure and death are big things for FromSoft games) but easy is relative and I place my trust in designers to build these modes such that the particularities they want to stress still exist.. If combat cadence is a design…

Add an easy mode and he won’t have to settle for watching someone else have fun, friendo. And the good news is that you don’t lose anything in the process either.

That *is* harsh though because you’re all but asking players with disabilities to go elsewhere. In this example, an easy mode or even a series of toggles that allow players to customize game experiences is about allowing them to participate in that experience. It’s inclusive, and not in the dime-store way that word is…

It kind of almost looks like he’s upset because he knows he didn’t get all of it. Am I crazy?

This article is pretty clearly for people who go out of their way to make other people’s lives a tiny bit easier.
