And saying the “vast majority” of people don’t care about a 12% vs 30% cut is an assumption on your part. See how this works? You’re arguing semantics for something that’s absolutely subjective, you’re just being pedantic. Aside from that, you asked a question of “why don’t people talk about how great the store is?”…

Yeah its frustrating seeing the top comment is “centrism is worse than conservatism” on articles about Trump doing something racist or sexist. There’s no subtly, no nuance, no self awareness of calling out the infighting while instigating the infighting.  It’s like these people can’t look at a political map of a…

But they have called out Trump? How does this fall on Democrats if half the country heard the Access Hollywood tapes and still voted for him? They don’t bring this shit up because it clearly doesn’t matter to the electorate as much as you wish it did. They ran and won the midterms on healthcare and that actually…

NOW he’s spewing nonsense?!  You must be new around here.  I was one Pelosi away from winning Baraka bingo.  

Well, yeah. I can read the comments and most of them are just this. While I think its an odd hill to die on, if that’s you’re thing, its fine, I understand your reasoning. I’m saying not everyone cares about stuff like that. Some people care they can play the game and logging into another launcher isn’t going to stop…

Lots of people don’t care about the Epic storefront being bare bones. Does it allow me to purchase and run the game? Cool. I don’t care about how great the store is so long as it serves those two features.

And I’m not defending the choice. I understand what you’re saying, its like using a jackhammer to drive a nail. Frostbite was the wrong tool for this job, yes, but it doesn’t mean its a bad tool, obviously other studios have made it work. Just not for this.

Yeah I 100% agree with this. I think just forcing BioWare to make it work like other studios might have is an issue. I wonder just how much of it was EA pushing and how much was BioWare not being able to identify all the issues it was having. My guess is a bit of both columns. I remember hearing they brought in the…

This was more to the point of you saying its fucked nearly every game its touched. That simply isn’t true. Studios have made Frostbite work and work well. I agree in the right tool for the job, but you don’t blame your tools when you realized you made the wrong call, you blame the carpenter. It begs the question if EA…

This is more a Bioware issue than EA issue. Battlefield, Battlefront, NFS, Madden, FIFA all use Frostbite 3.0. Say what you will about the design of these games, but on a technical level they are all well made.

yeah i absolutely loved the skinwalker and MIB episodes.

I will also second Last Podcast on the Left.  It’s routinely hilarious but also well researched and Henry Zebrowski is an absolute treasure.

You don’t understand why centrism is popular in right leaning states? If you run on AOC’s platform in West Virginia or Arizona or Maine you lose elections straight up. It’s a question of if you prefer a spineless candidate in Congress or a principled one sitting at home. Not saying they shouldn’t be primaried but a…

So it’s 2015, you’re Obama, you just lost a historic amount of seats in Congress and Mitch McConnell (who was just re-elected and won by over 15 points) is denying you a supreme court nod. And your proposal is to go after him? Disregarding the huge checks and balances thing, how in good faith do you propose this work?

i feel like you’re forgetting the republican party was a thing when Obama was in office.  

Do you want them to retroactively take power and run this investigation? I don’t like Pelosi or Schumer but your argument makes no sense considering Schumer has no power whatsoever in the minority, and Pelosi has only been in power for the last 2 months. You argue this on almost every article and I’m honestly curious…

This sums up all my feelings about the animals in this game. Also not being able to pet dogs in this game is a travesty on par with human trafficking, perhaps worse. What gives, ubi?

i mean, the half branch of government the Democrats control passed an anti-corruption and voting rights bill like 2 weeks ago. for having control of the house for 2 months i’d say that’s a pretty clear message of what their agenda is.  

I did canvassing for Gillum in North Florida and you’re right, you might not get anyone to go to the polls. The best advice I got is to make people aware of what’s at stake and always make sure they know their polling place. Strangely, people responded enthusiastically when we gave them rundowns of state and…

Yeah Al Franken isn’t to blame here for resigning and being an admitted creep.  OK.
