Yoh know damn well there have been more than enough instances of black and brown people doing exactly what they have been told by police and still get killed or beaten. What about that care giver in Florida , shot with his hands in the air? Philando Castile told the cop he had a gun and where it was , still was shot.…

“Unique circumstances”

Diablo holds my very first memory of playing with people online. I logged in to town and I asked about a secret cow level. He replied you have to run around a building 3 times and press Alt+F4. After starting the program again, it was at the young age of 12 I realized people online are jerks too.

Or they can learn how to make games again and manage their companies a bit more efficiently and stop all the bullshit. It shouldn’t cost 50+ million dollars to develop a game, let alone more. That is ridiculous. Game companies hemorrhage money from being one of the leading forms of media and they love people who come…

Agree on being bored of these defences. Theres not really anything new to add here, same old stuff about “games are unsustainable” as id the industry isn’t richer than ever.

With the caveat that harassing developers is NEVER okay and anyone involved with it should be utterly ashamed, and that much of the furor over this game specifically was done by misogynist gamergate assholes...

...I am getting completely sick of seeing microtransaction puff-pieces. Especially from an outlet that put…

Or! Executives can stop paying themselves $15 million or more per year.

Ninja Theory, CD Project Red and other developers would like to disagree. They dont seem to be having trouble making money by delivering games without micro-transactions.

I fully support the message about harassment ... the microtransaction apologism, not so much. After 10 years of increasingly predatory monetization the “you don’t understand the videogame industry”and “it’s just cosmetics” excuses are hollow.

Poppycock. Are you going to tell me next that Mario is a bad plumber because he allows himself to go inside the pipes?

Look, she definitely tossed that cat a bit rougher than I would have but if you’ve ever owned a cat, you know it was just fine.

Exactly. It’s the difference between a poor decision in the moment (even if it was fully intended) and an assumedly premeditated “conspiracy” involving, at a minimum, the manager and pitcher which also has the potential to continue escalating instances of dangerous play between these two teams in the future..

Not to mention, he’s a pitcher, so the number of days affects him less because he doesn’t play every single game, a basic fact of baseball that Chris Thompson seems ignorant of.

It matches to his upright stance. You don’t get to alter the strike zone by hugging your knees. Any other reading of the rules would be absurd, no?

A reckless beaning is worse than trucking a catcher, given the circumstances.

Quietly accepting the unwritten rules of baseball is against the unwritten rules of baseball.

I’m not sure how you can say that a show that’s been running for nine years “isn’t really working out.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger made plenty of shit films too, and he is clearly the model Johnson is patterning his career after. Is the contention that Johnson is forced to decline opportunities in daring arthouse cinema because he’s all locked up making Pain & Gain 2 with his best bud Michael Bay? I’m not seeing it.

Artists…

How was Shield/Fury NOT able to pick up on Mystero’s identity? I’m not bent out of shape about it because it was for the sake of plot, just a bit annoying.

you’d shit your pants if you saw one
