Shall we go with Castleroid instead?

eSports are really starting to sound more and more like physical sports. Because this dynamic is something that happens in alllllll sports. A new strategy dominates the game, people complain about how it’s unfair and it’s hurting the game. If it’s ACTUALLY unfair, a new rule is introduced. Otherwise, eventually…

Blade Runner 2049 is fucking garbage.

It’s literally the only reason the guy is being charged with assault. So...

Welp, still waiting on him to actually be in a good movie, so...

I agree on Q39. Very good, yes. Would be the top BBQ place in a lot of other cities. But it was called the best KC BBQ place by a lot of people whose opinions I otherwise trust, and I don’t think it lives up to that hype.

Steve was inconsiderate and moody, but he felt like a good person deep down and grew over the course of the first season. Billy was just an outright piece of shit in every way possible, to the point that his character didn’t even really fit in with the overall cast, and had no redemption arc.

“It sounds like your criticism isn’t the serialisation but the pacing, which is a common issue with Netflix shows.”

Yeah, the author says as much in the review. Their point is that it’s harder to maintain consistency across one 8 hour long story than it is to maintain consistency across several, smaller storylines told…

Haha, okay, that’s a really good point. They did have to produce some large Nazi banners to hang during the Salzburg Festival scene, and I was thinking that must have been really uncomfortable to do.

But hey, 2 weeks later they got to reuse those banners in their production of An American in Paris, for the occupation…

And the reason I’m being picky about the terminology is because for decades Republicans have used the socialist label as a scare tactic to keep people from supporting what are actually extremely popular policies that are elements of a social democracy and not socialism. Not that I support the scare mongering against…

He’s definitely not a democratic socialist, either, because the main distinction there is just how you attain socialism, through force or democratic means. He’s still definitely largely capitalist, but he co-opts socialist language a lot because he knows his supporters like it, although I suspect he doesn’t have a…

Can we stop calling Bernie Sanders a socialist? He’s a social democrat, which is VERY different.

My god, gamers are whiny, entitled babies.

Perfect opportunity to link to one of my favorite little comics, about the learning curve of various MMORPGs:

My spouse and I saw a stage production very recently and I was disappointed they didn’t include this specifically.

I think the reason for the continued popularity is the strength of the music. My spouse and I recently saw a local theater production of it and talked a lot about this afterwards. I mean, it’s extremely problematic in so many ways. Its gender politics are absolute garbage. It does little to talk about why the Nazis…

Honestly, I don’t need all of those extra features, I just want a master list of all of the games I’ve purchased through digital storefronts. I have purchased the same game multiple times before because I didn’t realize I already owned it through some other program.

It’d be nice to some integration with Humble. I have…

To add to this, it’s also okay to just not care enough to watch it. I’ve never watched Neon Genesis Evengelion, and a lot of my friends have given me shit for it. So it’s not even that I do or don’t like it, I haven’t seen it and have no plans to. I’m well aware the critical consensus is very positive, I just don’t…

I’d love to see a flowchart showing all of the different branches and choices. This is a surprisingly extensive game!
