By that logic, pretty much every interaction in video games is a reductive and unconvincing simulacrum of a real-life interaction. I don’t know why romance should be called out as special in that regard, or why desiring an unconvincing simulation of romance would be any stranger than desiring the sort of unconvincing…

I’m one of those weirdos who like romance in my western RPGs, so Obsidian and Larian have been a bit of a letdown in that regard for me.

Well you could find that version of the story on really any other website talking about this. You just happen to be reading it on site whose main focus is videos games and other pop culture which undeniably non-science community people are most likely to know this from...so you know.

If you’d told me this was a “Parks and Rec” joke, I’d have believed you.

And then he was so tormented over his ordeal that he committed suicide. But I see it as the system killing him. 

Hey, just wanted to say thanks very much for this comment. Reading it added a lot to my day, so I’m glad that you didn’t do what a lot of other people would do and just not care, quietly, to yourself. Please keep us posted on the other things you don’t care about.

“The Mayor of 9/11" to “The 9/11 of Mayors”

i would have far more good will for him and what he’s trying to do if he just said less...

Umm... People have protested minorities being represented negatively as villains or token characters pretty much since Birth of a Nation. I think you’ll find most folks that visit this site agree that’s a negative thing. I’m not sure the point you think you’re making by saying that “you could say” black people being…

I don’t normally read much beyond the political stuff here, but that hed pulled me in. I thought Harry Styles had some delicious fish with him when his car broke down, which he then fed to the fan. I was disappointed to read what actually happened.

Hey I’m actually the person who posted the thread on reddit! I just got messaged about it and I’m so happy someone with much better investigative journalism skills took up to contact her! Your article has made my whole year better!

What about exploiting her? Encouraging her to perform and record when she was not at her best?

You seriously need to watch Hereditary.

“I ain’t got the time, and my daddy thinks I’m fine.”  Anyone who’s heard “Rehab” knows her father enabled her addiction.

My Barron. My freakishly tall Barron. He’s very tall. And immune. My immune Barron. He’s very immune. Like me, and Melania. We’re all very immune.

Also Catherine Oxenberg is the hero of this tale. She got the story out there- years ago I remember reading about it- and never let up. Totally kickass and super-impressive mama bear. India is so lucky to have her mom in her corner.

Nobody owns arpeggios.

Seriously. Musically illiterate people are how we end up with shitty lawsuits.

That arpeggio style is associated with Final Fantasy, but not only is it not the first thing to have ever used it, it’s not the first thing to have ever used it with the specific chord progression it uses either, and…

It is a shame because there’s so much to like about the game. Unlike one of the first sentences claims, the “bullshit that comes with free to play” is really kept in the background and only there for players happy to spend their money to progress faster.

You seem fun.
