I would be interested to see the overlay of Hurricane Sandy deaths/damage in NYC along with how each neighborhood votes in presidential elections. I remember all the Staten Island deaths being in the communities along the east coast, obviously because that’s where the storm surge hit. But most of the deaths where…

Even in a solid blue area, I still don’t want to put out Hillary signs/bumper stickers because by this point I’m tired of dealing with ex-Bernie fans/Jill Stein supporters. I’ve gotten into too many dead-end arguments this year with both friends and strangers IRL, I’m just going to vote and encourage others to vote…

Fuck the student section. I graduated, I don’t need to be puked on by some preppy bro who’s been standing in the stadium for 6+ hours so they have a decent seat and slyly drinking from the flask they smuggled in in their jockstrap the entire time. No amount of free pom poms, t-shirts, absolutely-not-coordinated color…

(look upthread)

Right? One reference is whatever. Two or more is when something starts to look shady.

That’s pretty much where I am. If I were Nintendo, I would look closely at that specific localization team to see if there might be a troll on it - I really do think it’s all intended to be a Watergate reference rather than a Gamergate one, but that there’s two jokes in a 20 minute segment that could be construed…

Even worse with Debbie Dingell - it was her dad.

The Mary Sue went downhill really, really fast. I’m a card-carrying SJW and that place got too outragey for me.

I salute you, that is a damn good cheat sheet.

Have you thought about giving FFIX another shot with the recent rerelease? From what I’ve heard, the rerelease fixes a lot of the necessary PS1-era requirements.

Godspeed. I used to be more flamethrower-y, but as far as online I already went through this with GamerGate a year or two back and it’s just so exhausting. And as for real life, I tend to pick and choose my battles a little more and so I try to gauge the field before engaging. It was funny, one of the other people was…

Yes! My Facebook used to be a constant feed of Sanders materials from US Uncut and Breitbart (??). I eventually had to unfriend an acquaintance when he started using really gendered slurs to describe Hillary, and just unfollowed the rest of the over the top Sanders fans. In the past couple of days I’ve been looking at…

I was literally at a birthday party a week ago for a friend of a friend. I’m a millennial in a liberal city, I just assume everyone around my age group is a Bernie fan so I mostly stay quiet when it comes to politics. But then we had about 10 minutes of people cautiously talking around the subject until we realized…

Silly, those aren’t real liberal accomplishments, they only help women and children! /s

Got it, thanks for the detailed explanation - ironically enough, one of the reasons I’ve generally liked A-1 has been that the anime I encounter from them isn’t the pandery trash that I’ve come to expect from so much of the industry.

Why do you think A-1 catches shit like that? I just finished Erased and 7 Deadly Sins and greatly enjoyed both of them

I’ve unfollowed/unfriended more people during this primary than I did during the 2012 election because I have so many of the really mansplainy Bernie fans. The normal Berners are cool, just the “anyone who votes for Shrillary is stupid blah blah” brigade. What’s really, REALLY been helpful is the “Hide that post!…

There are words in this comment, yet it is strangely incomprehensible.

For sure on Undertale and Ori and the Blind Forest, the music in those games have made me cry multiple times over. I’ll also push for Life is Strange because that had such a perfectly curated soundtrack for the game.
