I LOL’d, then felt bad.

The DLC makes it perfectly clear that Prompto is not a robot — he’s a clone. Fully human. I don’t get why this keeps popping up? He was rescued from the facility before he could be turned into a magitek trooper as a kid.
Definitely — it’s far from exceptional. A lot of the best talents of any discipline are just too dark, too fat, too old, poor, not a white man, etc. Hell, even Whitney had issues with her career because Black people thought she “sold out.” I love artists who share their talent with the world but I wouldn’t trade…
I was just thinking the other day what a travesty it is that the music industry doesn’t embrace musicians who can BLOW with the same fervor they embrace cute, thin pop idols with catchy generic tunes. I mean, Boyz II Men is doing Geico commercials now for God’s sake. They can ALL still sing their asses off but they’re…
Happy to know my Twitter addiction did some good today.
On the flip side, there’s the gay people who put “we can be friends, but sorry, I don’t want to date people who are bi! ;)” in their profiles. One of many reasons I started just calling myself queer. Let them wonder what it actually means, IDGAF.
This is depressing. Just another reminder that capitalism is garbage.
I need to go somewhere that’s 70 degrees all year-round...And doesn’t abuse its air-conditioning systems. I routinely experience heat and cold stress in the same freaking day.
It’s almost as if human psychology is complex and directly affected by environmental conditions, or something. (Also, “seek a doctor’s help” was literally in the last paragraph of the article.)
In case you were wondering, Jill Stein remains extremely Not Sorry for having possibly contributed to the election of a malicious cantaloupe.
I love this story. Ageism is something I struggled with as a child (and still struggle with, if I’m being honest) — this notion that elderly people are more arrogant, sexist, racist, and all-around less “enlightened” than people much younger than them. As an adult, though, I’ve learned to appreciate that even though a…
My family is from Detroit and I have absolutely no faith that this game will be an accurate, nuanced portrayal of Black resistance. The choice to make androids an analogue for Black people, even if some of the androids themselves are Black, will automatically be superficial if racism is not mentioned or reckoned with…
A nice first step, but if the law still requires you to get approval from a doctor and medically transition for you to be considered “nonbinary” enough (which it likely does), then it’s still inaccessible to most people.
I had the same thought. Feels heavy handed, but superficial.
Yeah, I figured that was the reason for basing the game in Detroit, but the issue is that without making any reference to race, it’s going to be a poor parallel. Obviously I’m happy they included black androids because IIRC there weren’t any in earlier glimpses of the game, but I have a feeling this is going to be…
Can somebody explain to me the logic behind allowing PMs to hold snap elections like this? I understand it from the PM’s perspective but not why it would be good for the government as a whole.
We don’t get automatic or unsolicited raises and I was told by all the experts that asking for 5% was pushing it. I settled for 4%.
A 17% raise is standard? What magical world is this?
The last console I “owned” was a PS2, way back when I was 13-14 (I put it in scare quotes because technically it was my brother’s). Eventually he sold it and that was the end of console gaming for me until last December, when I finally bought a Ps4 slim. I’ve already logged 150+ hours finishing Persona 5 and FFXV and…
