This gets a star just for “objectivist libertarian twats”.

Very well put. Wasn’t a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but it felt like it didn’t always know what it wanted to be. A game that long needs a stronger narrative drive to keep you going.

I agree, I thought Aloy in particular had great eye tracking, for lack of a better term.

Steak dinner without boo’s was also the number one thing on Trump’s Christmas list.

Shit man, this nailed it. At first I was like, “hey, I’m a cis man and I’ve never hurt anybody!” but then I realized there’s a ton of fuckers out there who just ruin everything.

I get what you’re saying, and several other commentors pointed out the same thing. Calling it a debate gives both sides a veneer of credibility, which I certainly don’t want to bestow on the anti-trans assholes. Fair enough. Debate might not be the right word. But I stand by my position that nothing is settled and the…

There are plenty of demographics that discriminate against and “other” the trans community. There’s no shortage of that bullshit. But I’m surrounded by white, cis, middle class people and I’m speaking about my experience with them and their perspectives. Nice strawman, though. And I’m hardly “othering” these WASPs.…

Fair enough. I don’t want to get caught up on the semantics. You and I want the same thing. I absolutely concur that we need to engage them and refute their bullshit, but perhaps debate indicates a degree of validity to their point of view that we cannot accept.

Trans people exist. And they are part of the group they identify as. That’s not up for debate.

Yep. It’s how progress is measured, in slow increments. I wish it were as easy as saying “just wait until all these old fuckers die, then everything will be fine!”, but I live in the bible belt and I see first hand how they pass a lot of prejudice down to their kids. But every generation gets a little better. We need…

Completely agree. At no point in any of my comments did I indicate that I found the opposing viewpoint valid. I explicitly stated several times that I find it abhorrent. But I think it’s dangerous to just say “Their viewpoint is invalid, and therefore it’s not worth even acknowledging”. A large part of the country…

I certainly don’t lend any weight to the anti-trans sentiment and don’t think they have a viable position at all. I was looking at debate more as a convergence of conflicting viewpoints, no matter how asinine I personally find one of these viewpoints to be. It’s just semantics, really. But if the end goal is to…

It’s absolutely a war. I was responding to the author’s specific use of the word debate, but yes. It’s a fight. It’s sad and frustrating that we have to battle with half the country (maybe less than half, but I only have so much optimism in me) about something like human/civil rights, but here we are. This will end up…

This isn’t a debate.

I live in Dallas, and Dirk might be the most beloved sports figure in this city’s history, which is saying something considering the perpetual Cowboys boner this town has.

It definitely could have been improved upon, and it sounds like that is what they’re doing, but I still think the original Nemesis system was a big step. I’d rather have Scrigscrog the orc yelling at me because I cut his arm off last time we met than just randomly slaughtering hundreds of nameless enemies (although I…

The cloak physics in the first game were outstanding. I’m a sucker for a good cloak. This will be a must-have cloak simulator for me.

Is there an real difference between the Switch and Wii U version? I’m not planning on getting a Switch but have a Wii U collecting dust and this game sounds like it’s worth breaking the system out for. But is it an inferior version?

Like I mentioned to another commenter, I would imagine that the venues booking her pay at least a portion of her travel/lodging, if not all. Probably not terribly common in the comedy world, but she’s A-list in the context and could feasibly make those demands.

At her level, I would assume most venues booking her take care of a portion or all of her travel expenses.
