It is broadly true that “haters” are an inescapable part of any public-facing position; no matter what you do, no matter how much good you do, or no matter how fundamentally disconnected you are from a perceived problem/irritant, there will always be a vocal minority of dickheads who will feel the need to shit in your…

Weird, I replayed the trilogy + DLC when they were added to XB1's backcompat library and was more impressed by 3 than I was the first time around. I was never really bothered by the ending though, and the replay was my first exposure to the patched ending.

It’s really sad that I have no desire to play a BioWare game. Just seems wrong. 

You can tell how old people are by the reaction to this announcement. “WHAT? GOOMBAS IN MY ZELDA GAME?” Yes.  It happened. And it was glorious.

Nice try chief. I’ve got a masters degree and I teach children with disabilities. Every single person in my building from student, to support staff, to my fellow teachers (I’ll leave myself out) are worth more than one million Bobby Koticks. They contribute more to this world that he ever could in his dreams. 

Bad metaphor. One does not sit down to a capitalist system. One is born into it and raised within it, to the point that escaping it entirely is not pragmatic.

In the past week I did this:

...so why couldn’t it just be ‘hey, if you’re playing this game before Jan 31, you clearly bought it already, so here’s your new character!’??? You could even make it a little limited time button in the corner of the menu, like the Spirit Board events.

This is obviously terrible, but I thought this was Nick Kroll for a few awful seconds and almost had a fucking heart attack.

Most every non-Nintendo subreddit is pretty toxic these days. /r/spidermanps4 won’t stop whining about the lack of the Raimi suit, /r/battlefieldv is harassing devs over recent TTK changes, /r/thewitcher is mostly about bashing the netflix adaptation for being insufficiently white, /r/eu4 is accosting Paradox…

Fun fact: Today a location scout came to the door and asked us if we knew how to get in touch with the owners of the duplex next door, which has been unoccupied for a few years (the owners are old and don’t want to bother renting it).

You’ve never been severely depressed, have you?

Kirk, this is easily the best game review I’ve ever read, but also the best writing of any kind that I’ve read on this website. I enjoyed your creative narrative prose over the the technical trappings of FPS and other “data.”

No one expects Tucker Carlson to change. But the idea that he’s a member of polite society in good standing should be rejected. Telling him he’s a burden on America when he’s out in public is a good way to do that.

I’m not rock hard, I’M MINERAL HARD MARIE.

Someone got after me on the previous “boobie streamers” thread about how “immoral” it was to go after lonely guys by displaying cleavage on a stream.

Two things:

1.) This person was arguing that it was only “logical” that the behavior was immoral.

I know everyone’s sick of me saying this, but I’m trying to frame here:…

Another point: after 10 hours of play I can honestly say this is a super overreaction. By and large the animations are serviceable with only a handful of extremely minor NPCs suffering from very poorly done animations.

Not only is this despicable, it’s testament to how ignorant and stupid these cretins are. Bad animation can be the result of slow tools, unfriendly tech, limited staff resources, and countless other factors (including but not limited to the fact that getting human faces to feel “human” is really friggin’ hard). That’s…
