Leading up to the trial I was sure Rittenhouse was guilty but was also pessimistic about the likelihood of him being found guilty by a jury. After learing more about the facts of the case after the trial was over, I’m afraid this was a McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit kind of situation:

Sadly, it’s impressive that they were fired at all. Although it took around five years for it to happen.

Anyone firing their gun into the air as a “celebration” should be arrested. Not shot without warning. The unlucky person(s) who may be seriously injured or killed by the falling bullets would also be receiving no warning.

Is that meme really supposed to be an example of the “toxic” nature of posts there? A publisher releases a busted game and the complaints of their customers are deemed to be beyond the pale?

...long live unproblematic king Denzel.

At first I was attracted by the grind, but eventually the activities got to too repetitive and I had to ask myself if it was really worth putting the kind of time into the game that it demanded. I’m so glad I stepped away from Barbie Fashion Designer when I did and got my life back.

I was excited for BG3, but after the last big update the game no longer plays nicely with my video card so I might have thrown away my money on that one.  The silver lining is that I discovered the Pathfinder games which I have enjoyed far more than any part of BG3 anyway.

If only there was some kind of fast, easily available way to determine whether you are infected with COVID-19, or just have the sniffles...

Right on man. Knowing things about stuff is really pretentious.  Much better to champion black lives while spreading misinformation that will negatively impact black lives.

Choosing not to respond to Kareeem was the best move for LeBron.  Besides being in the wrong, he’s nowhere near as intelligent.

That was my inital reaction to the article as well. Upon further reflection I think the point the article doesn’t do a good job of making is that the shitty bro culture that dominated Activision-Blizzard for so long was a welcoming habitat for toxic assholes like this guy. I would find it very difficult to believe…

Of course they settled quickly.  If Riot had been offered that kind of a sweetheart deal they probably would have settled that quickly too.

Good on the jury for coming to the correct verdict. Special congratulations go to the jurors who managed to win over the “not guilty” holdouts.

Edgecomb sounds like a complete asshole, but he’s a complete asshole that will probably get away with murder considering the crazy stand your ground and self defence laws in the US.

I guess I should have held off on my complaint about Wrath of the Righteous not getting enough recognition. Thanks for the article. I’ll add a couple of these titles to my wish lists.

I’m mystified by the lack praise for Wrath of the Righteous. Pretty much the only mention it received on Kotaku was an idiotic complaint that it offered too much choice in character options. It’s a massive, good looking, well written old school CRPG which offers a crap ton of replayability options. It was also buggy…

I would expect medical staff attrition rates to be worryingly high as well.

A FEMALE KRAMPUS IS NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE!!!

Years ago I would eye roll at people giving GRRM shit for not getting the next book out. Now I say - have at it. He deserves all the derision he gets.

Huh.  I didn’t think there was any love out there for Amigas.  I think I still have a working 500 with a bunch of games in storage somewhere.
