When people are watching me play Overwatch and say something like “wow, you haven’t died once”, it’s basically a death sentence.

Let’s not reduce reactionary ideologies to a question of “stupidity”. People don’t commit to these positions out of a lack of some abstract faculty of mind, they get drawn into them as a consequence of their experiences and material circumstances. There are plenty of people who come from backgrounds that emphasise…

I never said that engineers, artists, and the like didn’t deserve residuals.

That’s another argument, for another collective bargaining agreement.

Here’s a frame of reference: I write. I primarily teach (compositional rhetoric and literature), but I occasionally pen pieces that I sell on to others.

If my work generates…

As someone who auditions actors both union and non-union, I can tell you that you are 1,000,000% wrong about this. The quality level of a SAG audition blows a non-union audition out of the water, and the non-union project 99 times out of 100 suffers for it. Obviously, actors all have to start somewhere so in that…

Overwatch is “Everyone is Gay” that’s why Zenyatta’s ult says “Gays! Into the Iris!”

In before the homophobes come in complaining about why this is such a big deal or the gay agenda or being PC is being shoved down on throats etc....

Something like a skin of the egyptian goddess isis that gives her actual wings

The most depressing part is how he has to explain that his own personal belief against giving thieves something for free, BECAUSE THEY ARE THIEVES has to be ‘justified’ with “well, I don’t need my code tied to pirated code and breaking licenses”

I was actually following this on the Steam forum for Automata last night (and part of this morning; there are a couple of people who got into it with Kaldaien that are still crowing about his ban/soothing their individually savaged egos--Kaldaien can field a pretty scorching argument when the mood strikes), and was…

But how much blood can a bloodchuck really chuck?

Jim Cooke, you genius. That illustration is the shit and you deserve more than you are being paid, whatever that amount is.

Well I wasn’t going to say anything, but darkness blood devour evil darkness.

Remember Super Mario World and the effect Yoshis had on the songs? Pretty neat stuff, and that was way back in 1990.

Hey you should probably dismiss those two trolls replying to your comment rather then reply to them.

“I do think there is a major difference in the actions of some men, and the actions of all men.”

That’s what I’m saying. The sooner we realize we’ve got a problem the sooner we can work to fix it.

Take those vehemently against abortion, you understand a lot of those against abortion are themselves women, right?

Of course there’s a difference between refusing to provide a platform for awful, inhuman, repellent ideologies and resorting to violence in the face of expression of the same--but there’s also a difference between advocating restraint and engaging in useless hand-wringing over actions ranged against an ideology that…

I wonder how many folks will take a swing at this and miss the implicit message; my guess is that the number will be fairly low, given that the initial audience is likely to be comprised primarily of folks who were already on board with the message the parody is trying to send—but still.

As for the existential…

Invest in more time with other characters. If you* only know how to play one character well, then on average you’re a liability to the team. If you only want to play one character, regardless of what the team needs at that point, and you’re only playing for your own edification, and not to work together, then the…
