After this and the Santa outfit fiasco earlier I’ve come to the conclusion that FPS players nowadays are much like your elderly family, irrationally terrified of change especially around the holidays.

No they need to lighten the fuck up. They aren’t playing for money. It’s a GAME. I remember when video games used to be fun. I would get the ire if they were in a tournament but they are not.

good lord, fudge off. It’s a couple of weeks, it’s just fun, and it changes a game that doesn’t flipping change much.

A semi-antagonistic relationship between Ted and Rebecca could and should have been something maintained, since comedies pull this off all the time. They can both still be likeable characters, a recent example being Brooklyn 99 with Jake and Cpt. Holt

“Women are not worth the risk” is a hot take coming from an obvious incel.

I really liked Beard After Hours, I thought it was tremendous, and a nice way to use up one of the two extraneous episodes the showrunners were saddled with.

Your PS4 must not be on long-term life-support like my girlfriend’s was. That thing couldn’t turn on without letting out a death scream from the pits of hell.

The PS5 was absolutely necessary for us haha

Deadpool 2 and Family Guy were both parody. Not sure why you’d include those as examples of capitalism run amok (Deadpool 2, maybe I could see, as it was an ad for the film, but Family Guy is just straight-up parody). I mean, there’s a fucking crock pot with his face on it, I think that’d be a more apt example, no?

NFTs are the worst, but trying to frame Bob Ross as some sort of an anti-capitalist crusader is straight propaganda: “Just before passing, he made significant changes to his will to prevent capitalists from profiting off him after death.” Also, as a writer for a website that gains advertising revenue from gamer…

Uh, I feel like there is a bit of revisionism here... Bob Ross was a pretty serious businessman in his lifetime and spent considerable effort creating and promoting a brand.

Well said.

True. But is anyone saying Cracker is a particularly bad slur?

It’s the difference between punching up and punching down.

Words like “cracker” were used to call out individuals engaged in white supremacy and systemic oppression of other races.

Is cracker racist, technically, but does it have the same effect on a white person, as the n-word does on black people? Absolutely not. Should Hasan have been banned, I think so. Even if cracker doesn’t have anywhere near the same effect on white peoples lives it stills not ok to say. Are white people by and large a…

Shang-Chi wasn’t anywhere near as good as Black Panther.

Is The Morning Show really that good? I haven’t seen it, but the general critical jist I’ve picked up regarding it is “vanity star project that’s OK and not much more.”

No it’s just sane rational people who hate them.

NFTs, like crypto in general, is a solution desperately searching for a problem to solve. I have seen nothing about it that seems useful in any way. People are excited about it because it’s a shiny new technology and they think they might get rich off it (they won’t). The use cases are always either some vague notion…

Seriously - you can already buy in game items, artwork, etc, on a normal game store. Why do we need to complicate things for no reason? What benefit is there in adding blockchain nonsense? What’s the fucking point?
