I like Sanderson's books, but man, his prose and dialogue is awful.

They aren't padded. Everyone on Steam 'owns' all the free-to-play games. So it would be silly go by that, as for the purposes of the graph they would be owned by literally the entire population of Steam. So they've obviously equated 'played' with 'owned' to get around that.

They're quite obviously treating 'owned' as 'played', as that's the only reliable metric for a free-to-play game.

Well you can buy guns and such for TF2.

If she was held back from getting a license, the fact that she killed a person suggests that it wasn't all that unreasonable.

I never had a teenage relationship, and I emerged broken and self-hating. Go figure. They probably act as some kind of catharsis, a tempering of teenage emotion.

"But as opposed to a series like Call of Duty where the thought of getting shot down every round without so much as getting to mutter a curse of outrage in before it's stifled, Titanfall gives you some amount of reward while playing."

It's funny how this article is all about how this stuff affects peoples' body image, then the top comment is all about how physical beauty is something to be celebrated.

Well okay, but why Tambre in particular?

What does Italy have to do with any of this?
