Additionally, it plays a cultural role it doesn’t play in LA or any other city I’ve lived in. Teriyaki is *the* default takeout meal, the way chinese food is in NYC or Döner in Germany. Growing up in Seattle I teriyaki chicken at least once or twice a week when my parents didn’t feel like cooking dinner.

And yet... we live in a world where Piers Anthony’s Firefly was actually published. I mean, how did that even happen?

Your argument is as illogical as dismissing crabcakes as not a Baltimore thing, because you can find crabcakes in restaurants outside Maryland. If you go to Seattle, you’ll see standalone teriyaki-only restaurants practically every other block. The density of chicken teriyaki restaurants is simply not found outside…

As a recovered alcoholic I can say please get medical help if you stop drinking. I had to be hospitalized three days before going to rehab to prevent this. Don’t be ashamed, and don’t think you can automatically do it on your own.

I would like to remind everyone that this is not censorship and that Playtonic as a private business has the right to express itself as they see fit. If they do not wish to include voice work by a controversial figure in their video game that is well within their right. Jon’s free speech was not violated in any way…

I was worried for your face, but then I saw it still has 1 gold ring left so you’re safe :3

Jumping in to stress, if there are those who wish to argue it, that this is not “criticism.” Criticism is measured and well considered. Criticism makes an argument. Criticism makes a case. Criticism comes from a position of good faith and respect.

Not only is this despicable, it’s testament to how ignorant and stupid these cretins are. Bad animation can be the result of slow tools, unfriendly tech, limited staff resources, and countless other factors (including but not limited to the fact that getting human faces to feel “human” is really friggin’ hard). That’s…

Wow do I hate gamers like this. I know there are bad apples in every kind of hobby/fandom/whatever, but man oh man is this particular brand of bullshit getting way too common for my liking.

Dan will remember that.
