I bought a car specifically so I could get out of NYC on the weekends but every time I drive out of NYC I feel like my suspension is gonna go.

They didn't get bought out by Facebook and then renege on their commitment. Everyone already got what they paid for. You can feel misled about the direction of the company sure, but you didn't lose anything other than perhaps your faith in the ecosystem that you bought into.

Yes, this monitor is for someone who doesn't need a 60hz refresh (i.e. not gamers.) If you're a programmer or someone who works with photoshop it's fine.

It seems like every other day I can't seem to figure out where the latest videos from my subscriptions are as if they're trying to hide the content I want to watch from me.

Of course. I have a friend who flipped a coin and whomever won took the other's last name, and another friend who both he and his wife amalgamated each other's names. I still think the idea that "sharing a similar last name" makes you family is a ridiculous notion. I have friends who have step parents and they don't…

The key word in the tweet though is "must." I don't think this woman is saying if a woman chooses to take her husband's name she's submitting herself, but that if a woman is forced to it makes that sort of statement and a policy that states that you're only considered family if you share a last name is ridiculous.

I didn't mean to imply that they did it on purpose to make a statement about marriage traditions, just that if they think someone with the same last name means they're family it's ridiculous and insulting.

I think the point was a company was saying that this policy shows that women must take their husband's name otherwise they're not considered family by their standards. The tweets/backlash isn't related to a woman taking a man's last name as being backwards, but saying a woman must take her husband's last name is…

But instead of sticking to his guns, he acted like a petulant little child which he always seems to do. He doesn't have to change anything, but Penny Arcade knowingly explores controversial issues all the time. For Krahulik time and again to act like a whiney little baby every time someone criticizes his work is just…

It's just like he doesn't seem to be able to stand back and separate his intention from what others might have inferred. I don't think anyone (at least sane) has tried to claim he's pro-rape, and just as bad as a rapist or something ridiculous like that. They've criticized how some of his stuff is a bit insensitive…

This wasn't the first nor last time though that Krahulik flipped out on people who read his comic in the face of criticism. The same way people should understand that Penny Arcade isn't a G rated comic and is bound to have jokes that aren't for everyone, Krahulik has to understand he can't go around banning people…

Game of Thrones never makes light of rape though. Throughout the series the women are always in constant fear of being raped. Not that I was terribly offended by the dickwolves comic either. I was offended at how Krahulik pours fuel on the fire, bans people from his forums for disagreeing with him on anything and…

What is the argument for making sure games have archaic gender roles?

There's no point to the actual processing. It's just computationally difficult and keeps getting more difficult as time goes on to make sure Bitcoins stay relatively rare. Also by making it computationally difficult the amount of power and resources that are needed remain high. For example when I was reading up on it…

I disagree. That game threw away all the stuff that made Solid Snake as a character great. Sure the characters who weren't snake were all ridiculous. That was sort of the point. Snake who is flawed and supremely human uses his skills and training to take down super villains. I would have had no problem if they kept…

EA is upset that there's not nearly enough in-app purchases.

I've worked in 3 building in NYC and none of them have had a 13th floor button.

Meh, if this was a one time thing I could see it, but when someone tries to point out "hey, that's insensitive" to him he tends to overreact. He ends up not being a bigot but being a total jerk. He has a history of banning people from the forums for just disagreeing with him on mundane subjects (until he finally…

Yeah, Krahulik has time and again shown himself to be an enormously insensitive jerk but the dickwolves thing was totally blown out of proportion.

I would reply to some of these comments but I don't even know where to start.
