Anyone else going to point out that newts also tend to live in swamps?

AC was a truly incredible game for its time, back before Everquest became the blueprint for all MMORPG’s to come. It did so many things differently and it’s a shame so many of its great ideas were never mixed into the EQ-clone formula.

Its lore and setting were outstanding, and its monthly events made the world feel…

Maybe you should have considered that before spending an entire year shitting all over his only viable competitor.

Nah, a lot of us stopped sometime between 1999 and 2006.

If games are ever going to be taken seriously as a medium for self-expression, we have to recognize where they intersect with the other parts of our society and culture.

Not to straw man you, but you can’t get mad when someone says “games can’t be art” and then turn around and also get mad when someone wants to talk…

I don’t think anyone is suggesting it should be taken away.

The other side of that sword is they can be pretty gross and abusive sometimes.

Moreover, even if your state is “safe”, the margin makes a difference in how the parties prioritize future races and spending. Helping your safe blue state keep a big margin helps dems spend money in battlegrounds. Chipping into a safe red margin means taking a few republican dollars out of Florida in the next…

What a goddamn load of ultra-privileged wankery.

Your premise for the first point is that small and large states have distinct interests. That’s probably true. What probably isn’t true (anymore) is that the separation of those interests is important enough to divy representation along those lines rather than something more appropriate for today’s society and…

“I’m a digital dog with FIVE electric asses!”

Yes a straw man. A deliberate misrepresentation meant to be easily argued against. That first group only exists in a undergraduate fantasy land, where party identification is pure cynicism and not the most reasonable method for actually turning liberal ideology into enacted policy.

Party identification and ideology…

No. Your first group is a straw man. Ideology is not secondary to organization, ideology is possible because of organization.

Traditionally the common opinion was that Republicans were more loyal and cohesive than Dems. After all, they tended to be more homogeneous along all sorts of demographic and ideological lines.

That all fell apart when Obama hit the scene and that homogeneity became its critical flaw. The small differences that were…

This is a bullshit analysis. There are many liberals (really, actually liberal) who see the value in the organization and consensus building of the Democratic party.

We’re the people who have watched ideological purity tests dismantle and derange the GOP and realized that if liberal and progressive policy is ever…

And while at this rally, he repeated as fact a retracted (and false) story that was only briefly published by a Russian state media site:

It was either mentioned off-handedly or is in the promotional materials for the show, but the guns are normal guns but the bullets have “variable velocity technology” or something that detects when they’re about to impact a guest and slow down to the point of being non-harmful. So the guest still gets the feeling of…

The youtube app on Roku is well known for its constant crashing, unfortunately.
