I understand not playing Pokemon ... but the joke is explained in the comic.

Listen, I’m all for LGBTQ+ representation in media, 100%, but it needs to be done organically. I cannot count the number of films and shows I’ve watched where a character is a.) gay with that being their only defining character trait, or b.) gay because we thought we should add a gay character to be more inclusive.…

No one is saying it’s Valve’s responsibility. Even the bit you quoted said it’s in Valve’s interest, which is undeniably true. It’s in Valve’s interest for developers and publishers to think Steam sells product.

Considering how many people in the FGC like to misinterpret stats on Steam Spy to mindlessly compare and diss games, I’m pretty happy to say that these stats won’t be missed if this leads to less toxicity. (who am I kidding, they’ll find something else :’)

I love how you just brush off blatant racism as “mostly whatever”. Really says a lot what you do in your free time.

America’s corruption is the worst in the world

I’m not sure exactly how my toothpaste is going to fix the earth, but let’s hear it?

It’s also pretty absurd to lump all the different forms of culture and governance that span that 1000+ years into a single, simple category, and act like nothing has ever changed.

He was trying to frame Daredevil — originally, Fisk was trying to injure himself with the sledgehammer and blame Daredevil, but Daredevil stopped him. But that just provided Fisk the opportunity to hit Daredevil himself with it.

The underwear was and remains anachronistic. Batman ditched them years ago. It was a move in the right direction.

The funny thing about that is that the animation is actually more dynamic and fluid now. They changed the style to something simpler in order to do so.

I’ve met many of these original Atari developers, and while some made good money (at least when they left), and a few told stories of smoking pot, I don’t know of any who were sexual harassers and rapists. But way to go painting them all with such a broad brush...

It’s definitely not more chaotic than BF1. That’s objectively false.

One of players’ biggest complaints since before the game was even officially out was how hard it was to unlock iconic characters like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader.

I literally link to both that thread and the Verge piece people are using as proof. It’s in the article. Which I recommend you read before dropping a comment.

Counter-counter-argument. Halle Berry was fine; she just got some really bad lines (“What happens when a toad is struck by lightning?”)

It’s about a video game on a news site about video games. I argue the same about regular news once upon a time. The Turks and Shinra, er I mean Syria have been at it for years. Is it news? Yes. Yes it is.

imo it makes sense to cover these massive personalities even when they’re not fucking up super bad. tons of people pay attention to them, and if they’re used to actual coverage they might not flip the fuck out whenever a major site writes about how they said the n word or whatever

Genuinely asking: Why such strong negativity towards him?
