Gotcha, that’s why I mentioned I hadn’t played dos2, wasn’t sure if the writing was better. If that’s the case I’m cool w/them making BG3

I haven’t played dos2 but i did play dos1, and while it was fantastic im not sure if larian can craft a story with writing quality that is a worthy follow up of Baldur’s gate

Wow this is unexpected, I thought this was awhile off

Peak Kawhi is better than Peak Kobe and it’s not close imo. More efficient, better rebounder, and even though Kobe was a good defender when he tried, Kawhi is one of the best perimeter defenders of all time. Only thing Kobe was better at than Kawhi was passing, despite his reputation of being a ballhog

“I think that not classifying it as an addiction severely undervalues the power that gaming can have over people.”

I think in mental health there’s a huge tendency to over-diagnose regardless of the situation. In my office we do a lot of evaluations that are referred as a mandatory measure following a dui and some of my co-workers are super quick to assume they have a drinking problem. No, sometimes people just make a bad…

Yeah, the initial reaction to the idea of excessive gaming being considered a disorder was kind of aggravating. Just because people can get addicted to something or develop a disorder in relation to it doesn’t make it inherently bad and doesn’t mean the WHO is doing this to attack gaming or something

As an addiction therapist, most addictions tend to be a symptom of other things (trauma, mental health, loneliness) as opposed to just being an addiction due to addiction’s sake. Most people don’t become alcoholics because they just really like to party and it gets out of hand but everything in their life outside of…

You might qualify as both, but unless you’re doing things like gaming despite it being the reason you lose jobs, can’t develop relationships you want, etc, have a lack of control over your gaming, etc, it’s not applicable. If you come in to a psychologist’s office and express symptoms that match severe depression and…

What an extremely stable genius

Personally I’d have put either Klay or Beal ahead of Westbrook. Klay’s a really good player but I don’t think he’s better than Dame, Steph, or Harden, obviously. Him, Kyrie, Beal, Westbrook and Kemba all have an argument for the last three spots but two of them were gonna get left off. Westbrook had a triple double…

I’m finishing up Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, which I’ve really been enjoying (xcom type combat in a post apocalyptic environment with an emphasis on stealth/stealth killing enemies and you can play as anthropomorphic foxes/ducks/pigs...sure!). After that gonna try Minit.

Boston can still top the deal, it’s whether they want to or not. Those picks (plus the memphis pick)/Tatum/Brown is a deal I’d rather take than what the Knicks can offer, and I say that as a Sixers fan who hates boston.

Lol, I’ve been disappointed by this season in some ways but come on

This is really the problem, the first 4 seasons were pretty close representations of the books, after that things started to go off the rails, although at least seasons 5 + 6 still tried to keep up with solid plot + character development even if they did a poor job at times. Seasons 7 + 8 have just turned into fast…

He didn’t bother because he probably anticipated the guy wanted to do a puff piece about his book, didn’t realize he’d actually get asked real stuff

His mistake was doing an interview w/a different country in addition to having no idea who he is talking to. The right wing has been screaming victim hood for so long about how “the mainstream media is all left wing and so biased it’s not fair!!!!!!” that they’ve trained the media to actually tip toe around shit…

Seeing this video was a fantastic start to my weekend

Uh...holy shit. It’s 2019 and government officials stated they wouldn’t hire a black administrator because “the city isn’t ready for it” but we have conservatives saying white privilege isn’t real and racism is overblown

I know people are pissed about the whole epic thing, but considering it doesn't appear there will be exploitative micro transactions or a live service game and just seems to be another single player type experience like bl2...I'm pretty thrilled
