Let’s be honest: the “bombing for peace” or “we have to kill the bad guys who are bad because they kill people” mentality is very much ingrained in much of Western culture, especially in the US. We see soldiers as more heroic than doctors or firefighters; GI Joe is a “real American hero” and toy soldiers are a super…

From the perspective of things like humanity and basic decency, American foreign policy is consistently horrific, has been across all modern presidential administrations and continues to be in the political establishment, Democrat or Republican (just look at the shitty bipartisan consensus that more or less accepts…

The applications are endless!

Id argue it’s actually Sony’s best (and best-looking) exclusive ever. Really crazy (in an encouraging, exciting way) that this is the one they bring to PC. 

To add insult to injury, the respawn locations are often quite far from each other, so you have to fight your way through several lower level enemies before you get to the boss fight that killed you... only to die again, have to wait to respawn, and then spend more time getting back to the boss fight than actually…

I’ve been playing this game for a week now and I find it infuriating. There are so many little design flaws that seem to be made just to insult the player. My main irritation is that a game that is designed to be difficult, or that expects the player to die frequently, should have a very quick respawn system. Instead,…

Well it is called Jedi Fallen Order...I’ll see myself out.

The problem is that the opposition to abortion you’re talking about is bound up tight with a lot very deep emotions about sexuality and shame - especially for white women who belong to evangelical/traditional white Christian churches, where the theology is driven by terror of eternal damnation. And those churches have…

always bugs me when I put the number of years since the game was kickstarted into the headline and forget that development actually started in 2010-11.

Already seeing the “any criticism of Israel is anti-Semetic” crowd setting up shop in the grays. Never mind that we’re talking about actual military issues and the idea of using gaming devices as weapons of war.

The first three books are great. I’d never been a big fan of epic fantasy, but they won me over.

Can you imagine the reaction from the Right had it been AOC who called a GOP representative a fucking perjorative on the steps of the Capitol?

“...crime is a problem of a diseased society, which neglects its marginalized people.”

Much like racists, sexists often believe that they’ll be treated by others the way they treat others, which is why they’re so threatened. 

All these big, tough, right wing manly men sure are in need of a fainting couch when AOC comes along. 

And women are supposed to be the overly dramatic, irrational ones who can't control themselves....

This game never ceases to amaze me with how much better it gets with every update. You gotta love how dedicated Hello games is to making NMS the game we were all promised. Honestly I think they did that a few big updates ago but here they are continuing to add to it completely free of charge. 

Lies that are more credible:

Putting aside the kinda lame style, it would be a lot easier to appreciate a show like this if we actually had a Trek show at the moment that was at all reverent or understanding of the philosophy of the shows that came before it.

Americans’ identities are strongly tied up in eating meat, and a nation of vegans will not be born overnight or even in the next few decades.
